Check my tips please?

Could you ladies tell me what you think of my tips? I included the total price of the package for each vendor because IDK if that affects how much I should tip.

Matre'D- $1500 (300 guests @ 27,000)

Co Officiant- $50 ($550 for the Episcopalian Reverend who will be doing our homily)

Videographer- $100 ($1495 package)

DJ- $100 (entire DJ package $1900, so that includes the guys listed below)

MC- $100

Zap shots guys-$75 each

Live singer- $75

Limo driver- $150 ($2000 package)

Hair stylist- $30 ($150 for my hair)

DOC- $100 ($500 package)

Priest at Catholic Church- $50 (we're paying $500 to have the wedding there...do I still tip the priest? I feel I should since I am tipping my other officiant)

Cantor- $25 ($150)

Organist- $25 ($150)

Altar boys- $15 each ($30 to have each one)



ETA: My uncle is our photographer, so we will be buying him a gift.

what about photo? Everything else looks pretty good to me. We didn't tip based on package but based more on time and service.

He's making unlimited trips from the hotel to the RH all night (5PM-1AM) and taking us to and from the Church beforehand.

Ah ok, that makes much more sense now! So he's like a shuttle too! I was going to say I felt cheap for what I was going to tip our guy.

It might just be me, but I think the Maitre' D is kinda high. Is his tip distributed amongst the entire staff? If not I'm starting to wonder why I became a lawyer if I could make $1500 cash a night as a Maitre D
