Something to consider when planning your budget
Hi, I’m La Sonja, with Weddings and Events By La Sonja, LLC
Have you ever wondered about which vendors should be tipped or perhaps should you tip at all?
Tips To Insure Prompt Service
  • Generally, you want to tip the Limo driver, (15-20%) the facility coordinator (1-2%) The person or person(s) providing the entertainment: such as the musicians, DJ, (15%) or band, ($25 per member)
  • But, before you decide who you will TIP ask yourself this question. Why am I tipping?
  • Am I tipping, because it’s expected or am I tipping because they DESERVE it?
  • Regardless, of who is providing the service if you feel their service was exceptional, by all means TIP. *So be sure to include tips into your budget.
Bartenders, Restroom, coat check, valet person and/or parking attendants, florists, waiters and waitresses, photographers and bakers are some others you can tip
