When budgeting, it can be easy to forget to factor in funds to tip wedding vendors. While gratuities are usually built into most vendor contracts, this isn\u2019t always the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure when it\u2019s necessary to tip? Worried about committing a faux pas on your big day? Don\u2019t worry &#8211; Check out our complete guide to which vendors you should tip (and how much) on your wedding day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Hair &amp; Make-up Artist(s)\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your glam squad might be up at 4:00 AM to prepare your bridal party for an early morning ceremony or pre-nuptial group photos &#8211; that fact alone is a reason to tip! Consider their expensive tools and equipment, plus the beautiful artistry they\u2019re sharing. We recommend tipping hair and makeup between 15-20%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Wedding Officiant<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wedding officiants don\u2019t operate like the rest of the vendors on this list. Some will not charge a set fee for their services but expect you to donate to their church or organization. They will most likely suggest an amount. The donation can range from $50 to $500 (but expect it to be on the more expensive end if your officiant is associated with a house of worship).<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Olive-Photography.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-83337 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNyUyRk9saXZlLVBob3RvZ3JhcGh5LmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYwIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Tip Vendors\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Olive Photography<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Catering Staff (Servers, Bartenders, Chefs, Etc.)<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many catering companies include a service fee in their contract, so double-check before taking out your wallet to tip.

They&#8217;ve already set their prices, so don\u2019t feel like you NEED to tip unless you want to! But, for all those in this category that do not own their own business, you could tip between 10-15%.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/JessilynnWongPhotography-MeghanFredWedding-3.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-83339 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5OTAgNjYxIiB3aWR0aD0iOTkwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjY2MSIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMjElMkYwNyUyRkplc3NpbHlubldvbmdQaG90b2dyYXBoeS1NZWdoYW5GcmVkV2VkZGluZy0zLmpwZyIgZGF0YS13PSI5OTAiIGRhdGEtaD0iNjYxIiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"Tip Vendors\" width=\"990\" height=\"661\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Jessilynn Wong Photography<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Delivery Staff<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019d tip your pizza delivery guy, so why wouldn\u2019t you tip the person delivering your wedding cake?
