bam — My amazing wedding weekend and tipping question

Sharonda, on January 18, 2021 at 2:30 PM Posted in Married Life 3 24
This weekend was THE most amazing time of my life. I married my love on a perfect day in front of a small group of family. There were some hiccups, but nothing we couldn’t and didn’t overcome. Those hiccups ended up being a blessing in disguise. I’ll do a longer post later, but for now, I wanted to share a few photos i received from my family and I have a quick question.


My resort venue went above and beyond to deal with the hiccups we had - including a last minute ceremony location change due to the weather (not rain, but rather wind at the beach). My venue requires the use of a day of coordinator and I used their banquet manager for that role. She and her team were awesome. How should I handle tipping them? Are the standard rules any different because they are employees of the resort which charged a service fee? What would be an appropriate tip? I just want to make sure I recognize their hard work before I leave the property at the end of our minimoon. Any thoughts would be appreciated. bam — My amazing wedding weekend and tipping question 1bam — My amazing wedding weekend and tipping question 2

    Sharonda, WOW!! How beautiful is your wedding!? Love your blusher, dress and that beautiful wrap!! And the beach in the background with that spectacular floral centerpiece 😍😍😍 Just stunning. ❤️


    If gratuity was included in the bill, then tips are technically complete (our venue was gratuity included), however businesses always need 5 star reviews. Our vendors who we loved, gave them reviews everywhere (Yelp, google, etc) and also wrote thank you cards 👍❤️

    Thank you so much! Yes, gratuity is included in the bill, but I had not thought of reviews and thank you cards. Great suggestions!

    Thank you! I am indeed very happy - still on cloud 9. I made that centerpiece using florals from Michael’s. I’m not that creative, but I was so proud of myself. Lol!

    Thank you! For now, we are minimooning in Destin, Florida (where we got married). Once things settle down with COVID, we are making plans to honeymoon in St. Lucia or Aruba — still haven’t decided which one.

    Congrats! What a gorgeous dress!

    Our VC was also amazing, but gratuity was built into our bill. So, we left a great review, instead.
