Why You Shouldn’t Tip Every Wedding Vendor (And Who Actually Deserves It)
Description
Episode 40. Ever wondered if you should tip your wedding vendors and how much? In this episode of Wedding Wednesday, host Adrianna continues the tipping conversation with a DJ, makeup artist, and photographer to dive even deeper into the realities of tipping culture in the wedding industry. From restaurant etiquette to wedding contracts, this discussion explores whether tips should ever be included in vendor pricing, if adding gratuity in contracts is tacky or helpful, and how social media shoutouts and reviews can act as modern-day “tips.” The group also opens up about red flags in client relationships, how they vet potential couples, and why mutual trust and good energy matter just as much as the money exchanged. Whether you’re a bride, groom, or wedding vendor, this episode will help you understand tipping etiquette, set realistic expectations, and plan your wedding budget with confidence.
