MemberMost of the vendors we’re using own their companies. Tipping 101 says to only tip employees, not the owners. Is that still the standard? For reference, we’re getting married in January in CT.
Thanks!
MemberIf someone is performing the service, and well at that, I would consider tipping. The DJ that we hired for our wedding is actually the owner of his company, but he will be workig our wedding. I have every intention of tipping him as long as his services are performed. Just because he’s the owner doesn’t mean that he doesn’t deserve the tip for performing the duty!
MemberI’m not going to lie…it didn’t occur to me to tip my vendors :-s
MemberI’ll be honest, I’m not a big tipper. I think tipping should be reserved for people who make a waitress wage, not just those providing a service. And for weddings the prices are normally jacked way up in the first place. And you don’t need to tip the owner at all for a service as they set their own rates and make enough to cover what they need to make. Why tip someone for providng a service and not tip someone who works at McDonad’s or a retail store for minimum wage? It doesn’t make sense to tip just because it is a “service” in my opinion.
Memberon the other hand, assistants, or people who work for other vendors, don’t set their prices and are typically paid far less. thus, it becomes appropriate to tip them. we’re not tipping our photographer (owner) but will tip his second shooter (not owner).
