There are so many people who work hard to make your Big Day as perfect as can be. Yes, they are getting paid, but an additional tip is a classy (and often expected) move. Birkat Elyon, a leader in beautiful cubic zirconia wedding rings<\/a>, offers this handy guide to tipping your wedding vendors. (First things first: read your contract carefully. Many vendors include gratuities in the price of the service.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hair\/Makeup:<\/strong> A standard 15-25 percent is expected. Tip them at the end of their service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delivery\/Setup Staff<\/strong>: For those working to haul in a sound system, wedding cake, chairs, etc. a standard tip of $5-$10 a person is expected. Leave a cash envelope for the catering manager the day before the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officiant<\/strong>: Most expect a donation of $100-$500 to the church\/synagogue where the ceremony is held. These fees are paid ahead of the service, although a cash envelope can be delivered at the rehearsal dinner if the officiant is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reception Staff:<\/strong> Many contracts include a gratuity for the banquet manager and ma\u00eetre d’. If not, consider 15-20 percent of the food and drink fee, handed to the ma\u00eetre d’ at the end of the reception<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reception Attendants<\/strong>: Gratuities for waitstaff, bartenders, parking and more are typically in the contract. If service is outstanding, consider 10-20 percent of the liquor\/food bill to be split among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wedding Transportation<\/strong>: Although gratuities are usually part of the package, a tip of 15-20 percent of the total bill is appreciated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Band or DJ<\/strong>: Tipping is optional here. For a band, have one of your attendants hand out $25-$35 per musician; for a DJ, $50-$150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another\nway to show your appreciation is to provide reviews. Ask your vendors which\nsites they\u2019d like you to post on in their behalf. Photos for their website and\nportfolio are also a thoughtful option to say, \u201cThanks for the great job!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
