Any others and how much?

Thanks
We also got married in October 2007 in Aruba and my understanding was that tips were including in the high service fee / tax the wedding planner charged, nevetheless, we did tip the photographer and the hairdresser because they were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond. I don't remember how much, but I think I gave $40.00 u.s. to the hairdresser... Good luck and enjoy your day!

Just my opinion, but I would tip the pastor, and the personal service people like the hair dressers, make-up, etc. about 15% and anyone who goes above and beyond 20%. The others seem to me to be businesses with fees set accordingly as part of regular operations and tipping would not be expected.

It is not the guests "fault" that the big hotels do not pass on the 15% service charge to their employees. If they are charging a "service fee" then tipping sounds like gouging. I have very strong opinions about that and won't waste your time here.

Just my opinion, just saying...
