Tipping

[Cait8383]

Hi Everyone,
I need help with this as i have no idea what is customary to tip the folliwng people:

Wedding Planner
Officiant
Randy (Photographer)
Beaute Special

Also, we are doing an open bar for the reception but people SHOULD tip the bartender correct?

Thanks for your help!

I think, or from what I've read, the service charge you pay for the bar is partly the bartenders' tips. But if you're guests want to tip on top of that, I'm sure the BTs would appreciate the extra cash.

The wedding planner and photographers (our outside ones), I am sending a gift. Since our payment is going directly to the officiant, I am not giving him a tip, but I will send a thank you card. As for the stylist...I'm actually stumped on that one as well.

Wedding Planner - no
Officiant - no (he's my FIL!)
Jason (Photographer) - no
Beaute Special - they added a 20% gratuity into the final cost

Wedding Planner - no, I sent her a gift once I got home witha Thank You note.
Officiant - No.
Randy (Photographer) - No.
I used Patricia LeJeune and I tipped her on the wedding day but not on the day of my MK shoot.

I also tipped the DJ. My guests tried to tip the bartender and he said no, that it was already paid for, he could not accept it. His tips are already paid when you pay the services charges.
