As a guest at a wedding, do you tip the staff?

Just wanted to see what we all do. We tipped our table server at a few weddings we went to because the service they provided to us was extraordinary.

We always tip the bartenders & our waiter for the night. I have two cousins that are waiters for catering halls & although you would think the 18% gratutity would be split among the waiters in some places it isn't. My cousin told me that the caterining hall she works at she gets a flat fee of $55 or $65 for the night depending on what package the bride & groom pick. That is it. I know how much I am paying in grautity & there is no way that it works out.
Just thought i would share

We always tip the bartender (obviously). If the wait staff is exceptional then we tip them too. FH husband likes to overtip EVERYONE!! He was in the service industry for a long time and it's just how he is. Personally I think tips should vary based on service.
