My daughter is getting married on St Thomas. What is the etiquette on tips? For example, do you pay the given price for photography, transportation etc. or is a tip expected and if so how much. Thank you for your help.
I would discuss with the wedding planner/hotel. It should also be spelled out in your contract.
Tipping is not spelled out in any contract with a planner as tipping is optional. The only time tips are added to a wedding is if there are 20 people or more and that amount is 15%.
Your coordinator works for the least amount of money and works the most time and any photographer, musician and even minister are paid much more, so in this case don't forget your coordinator! As for individual tips, $20 is minimum and can go up to $100 or more per person. It's all to your liking and of course, you should be happy with the service provided!
Congrats on your Daughters wedding!!!!! 😎
If tips are included, that will be spelled out in any contract you sign. Otherwise, consult with the planner about what is typical/appropriate.
Maybe I wasn't clear in previous post.
