Vendor Tipping Guide

Over the years, many of our couples have asked about tipping norms, so we deicded to create this guide. Below you’ll find average suggested tipping nationwide.

It is centered around two ideas:

  1. You have been working with some of these vendors for a year or more and it’s a way to let them know you appreciate their service beyond a contractual relationship.

  2. To match the rate they would earn at a non-wedding event (restaurant, salon, etc.).

So, if you would tip your salon stylist normally, you should consider doing so for your wedding.

Our team never expects a tip. It is always voluntary, but it is always much appreciated when received.
