If you feel that the service provider has gone over and beyond what was expected of them, then it can be appropriate to provide them with more of a tip for your needs. If you feel that the tip is not enough, then by all means, a larger tip can and should be left.
However, which services rate a tip and how much is reasonable? It is also important to know when to tip. There are a number of different opportunities when you will have to give a tip. Some of these times are listed here and deserve attention.
Some service providers may already include a tip in the final bill. These vendors include the banquet managers, waiters, bridal consultants, the caterer, and bartenders. A tip of about 15% is usually acceptable. However it should only be given if the service is above the standards of excellence since you are already being billed for a gratuity.
You should tip the limousine driver for their service. Be sure to checkthe contract to see if there is an amount of gratuity already. If it already included, then it is not necessary. However, if not, or you receive high levels of service, a 15% tip is appropriate.
Photographers, florists and musicians. If not provided in the contract, a tip in the amount of 15% to 20% is appreciated. Of course much more is for better service.
Priests, Rabbis and Clergymen. This is one tip not to be forgotten as it is not provided elsewhere. The groom should provide a tip to be given by the best man to the official. Commonly, this amount should not be less than $200. While it is a donation, it should always be provided. More should be provided if the official had to drive a long distance. If under contract with the Wedding Planner then the amount could be less. If the Officiant has a set fee then that should be the minimum amount and a tip could be 15% of that amount.
Civil Service. Since there is no cost set here, it is appropriate to provide a tip of $50 to $100 for the civil servant that is providing the service. Often, there is a suggested donation posted in these offices.
Proper Wedding Etiquette includes giving gratuities and should not be neglected. The Best Man can be assigned this responsibility if the Groom cannot or prefers not to do this. Following proper wedding etiquette in tipping shows genuine appreciation and class.
