Wedding Themes that Reflect the Couple’s Personal Style
Tipping has always been a personal gratitude for the service and appreciated. But gratuities are almost always added into the final bill, whether you have hired a private catering company or are using one of the finest hotel facilities. so “Is it proper to tip the servers, when I have already paid a gratuity in my contracted price?” The answer is yes. It should be given for extra special services only. It is not required, as the gratuity has already been paid as noted. And the customary amount would be up to 15%.
Others include catering managers, hotel banquet managers, waiters, waitresses, bartenders and bridal consultants. Tipping a hostess or captain would fall in the 1% to 2% range.
And Coat Room Attendants,it is customary to give fifty cents per guest.
Limousine Driver: A tip of 15% is the appropriate amount to be given to your limo driver. Be sure to read your contract to confirm whether the tip has often already been added into the final bill.
Florists, Photographers, Bakers, Musicians: Tipping only for extra special services, up to 15%.
Civil Ceremony Officials: inc Judge, Justice of the Peace, City Clerk, today, you may find a “suggested” donation for those in public service though it was considered improper to “ask” a set fee for services rendered in years gone by.It was found the average gratuity was between $50 and $75. If travel is involved, an additional gratuity is expected too.
Clergymen, Rabbis, Priests: though no less than a $75 donation is considered proper ,it is rare to find anyone giving less than a $100 gratuity for the wedding officiant.This donation should be given to the best man who will then give it to the offician following the proceedings prior to the ceremony. If travel is involved, also an additional gratuity is appreciated too.
Organist and Musician: Fees for church organists and musicians are often included in the rental fee for the church. When this is not the case, a gratuity of no less than $35 is appropriate, but in a recent survey, the average was $50 for each person. When the organist and musician (soloist) are close friends of the couple or family, the gratuity averaged $75.
