hello@wolferandco.com
Oh look, my wedding planner posted a new video. 🤣
Teresa Reina hahaha right 🤣🤣
How do you have 3 kids?! You seem so young and cool. You are mom goals.
Olivia Menchaca I know and her job is wedding planning so crazy!
My fiance is a wedding videographer and has been tipped maybe 2 times throughout the course of the 3 years he's been doing this. It's so true that the best thing you can do as opposed to tipping, is recommend your vendor to friends and family newly engaged. The couples who didn't tip him $100 bucks, but helped him get a new contract with one of their friends actually earned him a few grand. It goes much further!
American in Norway! No tipping culture here, thank god! It’s soooo much extra work for the couple! Just charge me one fee with the tip included and make it easy on me :-)
Can you do a video about what brides wear under their dresse. Still haven't found my dress but idk what to wear to the appointment/ wear on the day.
Abigail Yes that would be so help helpful! I had a friend whom wore a really cute bride to be shirt the day of the wedding but when it was time to change into the dress she messed up her hair trying not to mess up her make-up. 😓
Abigail YES IVE ALWAYS WONDERED THIS! It must get so uncomfortable so also what should you wear underneath to make it more comfortable
I'm guessing you can't go wrong with a nude strapless bra and a nude boxer shorts
Canadian Bride here! First just want to say thank you for making these videos- I am OBSESSED and sometimes even listen to you without watching while at work (oops)! In terms of tipping, what I have been told numerous times is that you tip people/vendors where the people working there DO NOT own the business. So for instance, you would tip a photographer who is an employee of a photography company whereas you wouldn't really tip a photographer that is self-employed :/
1. I'm from San Diego
2. Not planning a wedding but I DID AND I MADE THE BEST DECISION EVER BY GETTING YOU ON BOARD AND NOW IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR VIDEOS AND WATCH OBSESSIVELY SO I CAN HELP MY OTHER ENGAGED OR SOON TO BE ENGAGED FRIENDS PLAN THE BEST WEDDING EVER!!!!
4. ^that's what brings me here. besides the obvious fan-girling and your awesomness
(PS. I always recommend you but those who were at my wedding saw you in action and your work speaks for itself. You got YOURSELF some future clients!!!!)
1. I'm from a small city in Germany 👋
2. I'm not exactly planning a "real" wedding right now (since I'm still in college and not even engaged jet) but I'm always planning thousands of imaginary weddings on pinterest and of course I have my own day completely planed out, so if he'd pop the question tonight I'd only had to make a few calls 😂
I really love watching your videos and learn from all your experience. Your tipps and tricks are so helpful!
I would love to be a wedding planner myself one day 💕

As a makeup artist in the bridal industry, you’d be surprised the amount of people who do not know to tip hair and makeup services. At this point I don’t even expect it, so when it does happen I’m very grateful. Thanks for bringing this up!
I’m paying $400 where I live I don’t know why I have to add $80 to tip. If I was going on an paying $50-90 for makeup like I have for something I tip if I get my hair down up or a blow out I tip but the prices for that are insanely dramatically lower where I live in NY I think that’s a big difference
22 years old from Tucson, Arizona. I am marrying my honey this year November 1st and these have been SO HELPFUL. Xoxo ♥️
My fiance and I live in Walla Walla, WA and are planning our wedding for 12/29/2018! I hired a day of coordinator because that's all we can afford (and our coordinator is such an angel who worked with us on price so we could afford day of services!). These videos are SO incredibly useful while I do most of the actual planning, budgeting, and creating! You and this wedding make me want to coordinate too! So excited to see what I learn from you next.
Hi! Im from New York, having a wedding on May 22, 2020. Im pretty much DIY-ing my entire wedding and your videos are so helpful!
Michelle Chan that’s my birthday o:
Congrats girl! How'd it go?
This is probably mty 4th time coming back to this video! Been engaged just shy of 2 years and were in the thick of it with only 45 days left! CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!! You and your channel have been a life saver! Much love from Minnesota
This video is so helpful!! Would love to see an updated version for 2023!
I’m from the UK, and there is literally zero expectation for tipping in this country. The only time we tip in this country is at dinner, but for a wedding I’ve never heard anyone giving tips to their wedding.
Hello Slytherin! Hufflepuff here. In the US, there is tipping involved in almost everything service-related, because we often determine how much to pay based on the quality of service. It's a good idea, but in practice sometimes it means that a jerk will not give the service provider what they deserve.
Danielle Handley I’m from st Lucia and it’s the same. Thank goodness
Yeah it's because you actually pay your service workers a livable wage
@@SjofnBM1989 paying $400 for makeup in NY I don’t feel I should have to add another $80 in a tip
@@CCAnne agreed. Running into that with hair and makeup right now and I feel like for the price of the service I shouldn’t be required to tip. Did you end up tipping?
The Midwest USA! I'm in the process of planning a wedding for August, 2019, and it's so nice to watch videos/have found a wedding planning resource that isn't stressful and doesn't expect you to be planning a super traditional, $30k wedding.
Hi, I am knew here. My wedding is happening this year in September at Santa Rosa, CA. I am following your videos because you give great tips to plan a wedding. I recently watched the " First look pros and cons", and I talked to my husband and we decided to do that to save time. Even thou I have the idea that seeing the bride before the wedding is bad luck, I am okay doing it because we already got married. This is only the party for our family and friends. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Engaged March 2020 right before the pandemic hit. Couldn’t plan anything and work cut my hours. Had no idea what to do. Finally got a new job that started September so we chose an all included venue to help us figure out what the heck to do. Package comes with the tables chairs food etc and vendors (dj, photographer and limo) it’s all the basics though. Because me and my fiancé had to move in together early and both live paycheck to paycheck these videos are helping me kinda figure out what to do. I wish I found these videos a lot earlier though now that I have to cram everything into 10 months it’s not fun lol. Oh and we are paying for the wedding ourselves. Yayyyyy not. Wish we had help with it but that’s okay. Lol thank you so much for these videos I really appreciate it! Wedding is March 11th 2022. I wish I could afford a wedding planner because honestly I still kinda am confused on what I’m doing. Just found out I have to make the menus and didn’t know even to ask about that until I heard about it in a bridal fb group. Lol so these videos are making me now think what else am I missing ? I’m so fearful I’ll forget something and not even know I’m forgetting it because I won’t know it exists. Ugh. Downloaded the timeline though, thank you for that as well!
Started looking for a last minute day of planner and the stars aligned and UA-cam recommended me to watch your videos. So helpful! I’ve been binge watching all evening and taking notes. Thanks for all of your help!
I’ve been one of those silent subscriber types, so here we go: From Oregon, getting married September 19th!! Only a little over a month away 🤗 Been watching Jamie’s videos since January or so, and binging more now than ever as the wedding day approaches. Oh, and I’ve been planning my wedding myself! Fortunately, I’ve been able to plan enough in advance where my experience has been very enjoyable and exciting rather than stressed, so planning as far out in advance, and in stages, really helps! 😊
Just had my wedding on June 16th 2018 in Spokane WA! Couldn’t have planned it on my own without you, Jamie! I’m just here now cause I love your videos 😊😁
I'm from Edmonton, Canada. We're kind of planning a wedding (we've started discussions about when and where and general requirements, but aren't ready to set a date yet) - I figure getting as much information possible before we head into actual planning is a great idea. Love these videos they've been so helpful in our pre-planning stage.
Houston vendor bride here! Wedding is set for 11/18/18 (eeeek so close!) Planning myself, but your videos are SO helpful and make things so simple and less stressful! Thank you for all your tips and tricks and being a normal, down to earth chick!
Guess what...most catering companies hire the bartender and they DONT tip the bartender. They give the money to their kitchen staff. Even the servers don’t see any of that money here in Los Angeles. Which is really frustrating and why I started freelance bartending.
Hello from South Wales UK. In the UK Tips are not expected - to anyone - however they are very much appreciated if you want to. We're planning our wedding for 28.12.19 and really its something that I had wondered about the etiquette of. Were working to a very low budget so the 5* Review tip will be something we'd look at doing in addition to something small. Loving the series - Thank you x
🙋🏻♀️ from San Diego! Planning our 5/25/19 wedding! One of my girlfriends does wedding planning so she is helping me out! We are having a LARGE backyard wedding (Spanish theme 💃) in east San Diego so any more videos on backyard-style weddings would be amazing!! ❤️ I’m SO glad to have found your channel! There’s nothing like it on YT! 🎉
I'm from England, and while I'm not planning a wedding, my sister just got engaged, so I want to be able to make her process as stress free as possible. (Plus, I just love your videos)
I am getting married this November back home in New Zealand. We don't do tipping at all there (or in Australia where I am currently living), but I'm so obsessed with your videos that I thought I'd watch this one anyway haha. I'm planning our wedding myself and you channel has been so helpful! Thank you!
I am so thankful that the tip is included in all of our contracts for vendors because paying money throughout the wedding wouldn't be so fun :/ .
This was so helpful! I am getting married in my hometown in Delaware, but planning our wedding from Oregon.
Chelsea West I love her videos so much
I’m getting married in 8 days (woah) and I woke up this morning thinking “I need to figure out which vendors to tip, how much to tip them, and when to tip them.” My first thought after that was “I bet Jamie has a video on this” 😂 THANK YOU, this was so helpful🙏🏻
This was actually so helpful!!! Tipping can be so tricky!
Gigi The Waitress I’m a waitress too but yes I am so confused about tips for vendors
Hi!!! I’m from Philadelphia and I’m planning my wedding for September of 2020! Your channel has been very helpful to me especially that I’m interested in becoming a wedding planner. I’ve actually just landed my first entry level job at a catering company in my town that I’m extremely excited for. I’m finally getting the experience I’ve been looking for.
I’m from Auckland, New Zealand and getting married on the 5th of January 2019 (our summer). Your videos have been so helpful. We don’t do tipping in New Zealand but this video was still interesting.
For Catholics there is normally a "suggested donation" to the parish for the priest's time. BUT you should tip the alter servers (I've always heard $25-$50 per).
Also, I live in NC, but getting married in Hilton Head Island, SC on May 4. I’m doing my planning but have a super awesome month of coordinator who’s been helping me for over a year. These videos are so helpful as I get closer to the big day to make sure I’m not overlooking (or stressing) way too much about one particular thing.
I think I've watched every single one of your videos now, Jamie! You are such a lifesaver in this wedding planning process. I had no idea who to tip, this was so helpful!
Hi! I’m from Massachusetts.. planning my daughters wedding in August 2022. Her fiancé is from Norway. Would love to see a video on other wedding cultures and any guidelines for hosting out of country guests! Love love your channel!
Hi, I’m Catherine from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I’m currently finalizing the planning for my September 29th, 2018 wedding! I really enjoy your videos. Very informative! You also have such a great energy! 🙂❤️
Where would a cake/cupcake vendor fit into this list? Love your videos!! Wedding is in November and you have been beyond helpful!! ❤
I was curious about this as well. Im thinking that would fall under catering maybe 🤔
I'm getting married August 10th, 2019 but I'm trying to PLAN it by the end of October so that I can realistically set out everything that I need to do... so I'm binge-watching your videos. Thanks for providing such great content!
I'm a Kentucky bride looking to get married late spring 2020. This was very helpful bc I am planning my wedding when I've only planned a toddler's birthday party lol I'm binge watching your series now!
Hello! I am from Athens, Ga. and your videos have helped me in figuring out my wedding, 4/23/20. TBH this is the most useful video, for myself, that you have created...as I was so confused as to who to tip and how much. Especially the buffet serving staff when we have a 18%service charge ontop of a 48 dollar per head count for buffet (china, linens, champagne toast, table, and chairs included). Thank you for making these great educational videos.
Hey!
I've watched nearly all your videos. Not because I'm getting married, but because I'm just starting out as a wedding planner.
You're videos are better than any of the course's I can find so I'm literally gonna learn everything I know from you. Which I think is pretty cool !!
I live in Essex, England. If I lived nearer to you I would love to pick your brain or even better, actually work for you X
Hey hun! I found you about 2 weeks ago after getting engaged to my man of 10 yrs! We're in the Napa area of California. Your videos are priceless!🤗😘♥️
I'm from Minnesota and currently planning a wedding for 10/12/2019! Been bingeing your videos and they are already so helpful :)
Minnesota. Nope. You are so fun to watch and I love daydreaming about wedding so hearing about what actually goes into them is cool.
I'm from the East Coast, not planning my own wedding, maybe never will but I'm considering the option of being a wedding planner because I love weddings!
I have been so concerned about how much to tip so this video was perfect! My coordinator actually sent it to me (and many of your other videos)! The videos have been sooo helpful in the planning process. Thank you!
I'm planning my wedding that's going to be on September 20, 2019 and I'm so excited!!!
Hey! I'm from Alabama and I'm planning a backyard wedding for October 26th. Your tips have been so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
Hi! My name is Jonnell Jessop and I’m from the British Virgin Islands. I’m planning my own wedding which is December 28, 2019.
I started to watch your videos last week and I fell in loved with them, they are very helpful. I plan to watch ALL of them! ☺️
Being from the islands we don’t have a lot of options and access to a lot of things like you guys so I have to order and DIY a lot of my stuff.
But you are GREAT! May God continue to bless you and your family.
hello! i am not planning a wedding but honestly can't to start! (got the man just gotta get that ring first) i just enjoy watching your videos. i'm someone who loves being prepared and organized so learning these things now i feel like will help me when it's time to plan my own!
I am from Mid Missouri and I am not yet planning a wedding, but am hoping to be starting the process soon (ish). I will be planning on a budget (because I dont want to spend more than a house down payment on a wedding).
I will definitely be a diy bride on some things, including making my own dress since I love dressmaking. Going to take your advice and not overdo it on diy though.
Hi! Planning my own wedding for 5.20.22, but also own a bridal hair and makeup team. Planning from Northern California - Sonoma County! This was so so helpful! The only one I didn't hear you talk about was dessert/cake vendor. ;-) Thanks for putting this together!
Thank you so much for all of these videos. I’m a young girl from Georgia and will be marrying my man in November this year. He’s Colombian! I’ve literally watched every single one of your videos in the past 3 days - you’re my FAV on UA-cam in this category. So helpful, cute, professional, and informative! Much love to you :)
Late to this video, but I'm planning a wedding in South Dakota for May 2022! Jamie, you are a ray of sunshine and I'm so thankful for all of your insight :)
From NorCal (actual NorCal, not the Bay Area), planning a wedding from 2k miles away in Iowa currently! Found you from searching on UA-cam and have been loving your videos.
Hi Jamie! I'm from Calgary, Alberta and I am planning my own wedding (I give you all the kudos in the world!) which is on June 27th, 2019 ❤. Love your channel and all your tips; you're my wedding and emotional/mental wellness saviour lol! Thank you!!
We just set our wedding date! September 21, 2019. We are so beyond excited!!! Your videos have been super helpful! I’ve totally been binge watching them!❤️
Someone in a bridal group posted about how helpful you are so I went to see for myself lol. My date is October 2022 🥰
Love your videos! I have a little over 2 months before the big day, and I'm finding your videos super helpful! We have a month of coordinator (because planning a wedding when you work full time night shift is a CHALLENGE).
Hi there!
Montana Bride here! I am currently planning my wedding for April 28, 2019! :) I am so thankful that I have found your videos. They have helped me a ton! THANK YOU! :)
I’m from Australia- we generally don’t tip and I’m planning a wedding at the moment. I’m watching because I watch you every week, and although not relevant, still enjoyable as always.

Richmond, VA! I'm a wedding planner and found you back when I was planning my own wedding. Now I just listen to see if there's something I can learn from you :)
Planning currently and I stumbled upon your videos and I love them! Making my life easier!! ❤️
I’m from South Carolina! Not a bride to be yet but hoping to be one this year! Found you by searching wedding planning on here and now I’m obsessed because I’m very type A planner girl, lol.
Very helpful my husband and I were just discussing this subject for our daughters upcoming wedding in January 2019. In Lakeland Florida
Love your videos
Hi Jamie! I absolutely loooove your videos. I'm planning a wedding for New Year's Eve in Detroit, MI this year and your videos have been soooo helpful through the process. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!!
I live in the U.K and planning my own wedding (6th june 2020), your videos have been so helpful. Thank you for doing these videos x
I found your channel recently and also suggested you to my bridesmaid who is getting married the month before me 😅
Anywho. We are both from oklahoma, and are both having our weddings in Arkansas, hers is 9/15/18 and doing an elopment package by herself
And mine is Halloween 😊
With like 60 guests, by myself.
Your videos are so helpful!!
Something behind the scenes, I was a banquet hall server, mostly for weddings. If a tip is not written on the contract, and you tip anyways, the tip goes to the manager and maybe your maitre d. If a tip is written on the contracts, and you tip extra, only the extra will be given to the servers, not the 20% of total cost! Just in my experience with the venues I have worked at.
I’ve been wondering about tipping! Should have known you would pull through 😊 your videos have helped me so much as I plan my wedding. Wedding is 11/3/18 in northern Kentucky
Wedding is 1 week away! From Charlotte NC! This helped me so much!
Watching here from the Philippines! Have been binge watching your videos for DAYS now! My fiance and I are having our wedding on May 20, 2020. Yes my soon-to-be husband is (fortunately) investing his time with the wedding planning. Your videos are awesome. Thank you for all the tips!
Been engaged a little over 2 weeks; From New Jersey! Found out about you through my best friend also maid of honor; your videos are super helpful!! Aiming for October 10, 2020!
LOVE THESE VIDEOS! I’m planning my wedding in southwest Florida on Dec 21, 2019! I’ve been binge watching Jamie Wolfer videos, so much good content! I’ve been doing the planning myself (while also working full time)... and we already have the venue, photographer/videographer and musicians! After watching these videos I’m seriously wanting to hire an amazing month of coordinator, like Jamie, because that would make the month of my wedding so much more enjoyable (and I won’t be pulling my hair out!) 😆
I'm from Massachusetts. I'm 37 and I'm planning a wedding for this upcoming May 25th 2019! Love your videos and have found them so helpful.
Your videos have been SO helpful as I’ve been planning my wedding. Could you do one on welcome bags for the hotels? I’m at a loss on what really needs to be in them.
Here the day before my wedding trying to remember how much to tip people lol
Thanks for this!
I'm from Canada and getting married in November 2018. Our venue provides the Justice of the Peace/Officiant and the DJ and includes a gratuity in the overall cost of the wedding so that's really helpful. Also, our photographers are in their first year of their business so they came highly discounted. We are actually tipping them with gift cards for gas. Our musician is a family friend with a new baby and we are tipping them with a gift card to the largest grocery store chain.
Hi Jamie! First, let me say how much I love you and your videos! I just stumbled on your channel recently and you are hilarious! Laughing isn't something I expected to do while planning my wedding on a non-existent budget 😝 So with that: I'm from Birmingham, Alabama and I am planning my wedding for May of next year!
I'm in Clarksville, TN and I'm a wedding photographer. I'm always asked my opinion on various wedding things, so I watch you for tips :)
Hi Doll, very informative video! I'm hoping my boyfriend will propose by the end of the year so I'm starting my research early. Your channel has helped a lot. Keep them coming! Oh and I'm from SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS!!!
Planning a wedding of my own for March 23, 2019 in LA! I actually inquired your day of services today after watching like all your videos! Hope to hear back from you soon! 😊
I am from Grand Rapids Michigan and my wedding is August 21st 2020! I found your channel because I have no idea what I am doing and basically all I do is look up wedding tips and tricks 😫 I wish you worked in my area because I would hire you in an instant!
What if the bartender is included in my venue package and I’m supplying the beverages and my venue already has gratuity set up in the bill? Do I still tip the bartender? I’m assuming the gratuity is split amongst the bus boy, bartender, clean up crew and the manager.
1. I'm from Alabama
2. I'm planning my own wedding
3. My wedding date is June 27, 2020
4. What brought me here is that I love your videos and they are very helpful.
Hey, I'm from Ireland and recently got engaged! 🥰
We're planning on having a long engagement 2/3 years so I'm trying to prep myself and learn all the tips and tricks to wedding planning before actually starting, to reduce stress, because my stress shows through my skin and no one wants that on their wedding day!. We don't usually tip anyone other than the bar staff and possibly waiters at a wedding
A great video to couple with initial budget planning
Planning my wedding for October 2020! Woohoo 1.5 years for planning. Seems like a lot. I hope it goes by fast! I can’t wait to get married 🥰
Orlando Florida and today is Officially 30 days away!!!! Bride in panic mode over here 👍🏻
This video was so helpful! I wish I would have come across your services before! I think you'd have been great to work with on my wedding.
Just one thing, officiants definitely expect to be paid, whether you call it a tip or not. Probably not if it's your best friend who got a license online, but a clergyperson from a church should be paid. Weddings are an extra obligation, requiring coordination in advance, a rehearsal and the wedding. I worked in a church for 14 years and clergy always got paid extra by the family for weddings and funerals.
Love your videos - thank you!
Hello! I am planning my wedding on 4/20/19 and I am watching all of your videos back to back (with a notebook!)
Here from Columbus, OH. Planning my own wedding (3/21/2020), and I’m binging your videos! Hehe. I wrote everything down and am typing this list for my maid of honor duties (for June 2020!)
Im from Ottawa Canada! Im not engaged but we talk about it often. Were on a budget and i like to plan and research tons lol
I'm from Tulsa Oklahoma. I'm not planning a wedding, I'm a fellow vendor! I'm a photographer and I specialize in weddings and working with couples.
I'm from O'ahu. I am not planning a wedding of my own at the moment, but I've always kinda been "obsessed" w/them, lol, and when I came across your channel I thought cool I'll get some tips for the hopefully soon future. And, I'm glad I did, because I never heard of a month of coordinator before coming across your channel.
Thanks for this! My fiancé and I are getting married 8-19-2020, and we're from Alaska. Tbh I started watching your videos as soon as I knew I was goin to propose to him! Love all the info you're slinging!
