ceremony musicians ..how much do ya tip?

I booked with sterling Music ensembles..for a flute trio..its a flute, a cello and violin. they will play for one hour. What would I tip them? I cant see tipping them the same as otehr musicians who will be playing for five hours..so what is a good tip? Also..what would I tip each person in the recption band? they are personal friends and are giving us a great deal..wereent even going to charge us..but I insisted on paying them..there will be five of them..so what is a good tip? We have them and a DJ. Im stressed because I want to tip everyone good, to know that they are appreciated..I dont want to be cheap..and at the same time .we dont have alot of money..so I cant afford to go way overboard either. Does anyone have any great advice? Please?

Yeah..groovy peg..Im with you on that..if they charge 200 per person to play..I think tipping tehm 100 bucks is a bit extreme..even if we did 20 % of teh bill..it would be 40 bucks. they are playing for one hour..Im thinking 25 - 50 bucks is plenty. I may do 100 for each musician for my recpetion ebcause they are playing all night, when teh Dj isnt up..
