Tipping at Events, what's acceptable?

Tipping at events: What’s acceptable in today’s culture? Is it okay to have a tip jar if the host hasn't prepaid gratuities? How about a QR code for digital tips? Join me as I explore the nuances of tipping at events, addressing these questions and offering guidance on navigating this delicate topic.

Listen to this new 7-minute episode for insights on managing tipping expectations and modern solutions for gratitude gestures at events.

Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I delve into the topic of tipping at events, inspired by a question from Mary Lee in Connecticut. As tipping culture seems to be everywhere these days, I explore whether having a tip jar or utilizing QR codes for services like Venmo is appropriate when the host hasn't prepaid tips for bartenders. I stress the significance of having a discussion with the event host about their tipping preferences and ensuring everything is handled professionally. I also share my thoughts on the confusion surrounding service charges versus gratuities, noting how perplexing these can be for both guests and event planners.
