Just a reminder tips are ultimately up to your discretion and if you feel happy with the service. Most vendors who are on-site the day of are used to getting tips, but positive Yelp, Google, and Social Media reviews are also a big thank you to vendors! Just make sure that they feel appreciated for the hard work they put into your special day!
