Understand Tipping Etiquette for Wedding Vendors

Not all wedding vendors expect tips. Generally, tip: catering staff (15-20% split among team), bartenders ($1-2 per guest or 10-15%), hair/makeup artists (15-25%), delivery drivers ($10-20 each), and musicians/DJs (15-20% or $25-50 per person). Don't tip: vendors who own their businesses (photographer, planner, florist) or vendors where gratuity is included in contract. Prepare tip envelopes in advance and designate someone to distribute them.
