Tipping list - how much for each vendor?

What is the average price I am supposed to tip each vendor at the end of the night?

DJ
Photographer
Video guy
Piano guy
Matre'de (well, the Caryle takes all the guesswork out of that one....)
Florist?
Do I tip my limo drivers?

Am I forgetting anyone?

Good questions.. I would like to know these too...
I am having a Frank Sinatra Singer do a dinner show. He is $500 just for the dinner show, do I still need to tip him? (He is booked for 2 1/2 hrs but will probably sing for less time than that?) Thanks! Kelly

I think I gave the following:


DJ/MC: $25/$50
Limo: $50 each (had 2)
Limo @ end of night: $20
Florist: would not accept tip
Photographer: $100
Photo Assistant: $50
Video: $100
Maitre'd: $3 per person $375
Bridal Attendant: $50-$100 (don't remember)
Priest: $100
Alter Boys: $20 each (there were 2)
Organist: $20

I know it came out to $1,000 or so for tips.

OMG - I didnt know I had to tip the priest! I already gave the church the following:

Church - $250 check
Organist - $125 cash
Singer - $100 cash
Sexton - $50
Altar Servers $10 each cash

Those were fees they required me to pay upfront in cash. Are those the tips? Or am I tipping on top of that?

I didn't tip anyone at the church. It seems pretty customary to tip the altar servers though. (I didn't have any.)
