How does this sound??

I am trying to really get my budget together, mostly figure out my tips! As far as music, I am having string trio for ceremony, and then for reception- 1 DJ, 1 MC, 1 percussionist.. How does this sound for tips??

String Trio - $75.00 ($25 each)
MC- $125
DJ- $100
Percussionist - $100

Comes out to an even $400
What do you think... Too little, perfect, or too much???

we gave our percussionist $75 ... the rest sound good (but you can always bring extra cash with you in case someone does an extraordinary job - you can give extra)

ETA: don't forget tips for:
limos
bridal assistant
maitre d
officiant
DOC if you have one
videographer
photographer

we paid almost $1500 in tips, if i'm not mistaken ... freakin' suck.ed!

Thank you! This is what I have so far

Hair - $20
Makeup- $20
2 Photographers - $100 each
Videographer - $100
Limo- $50 (only doing a pickup/drop off)

Officiant - nothing -- already paying so much, and she takes it all in.

Think if there is anyone else with your DJ such as a roadie.
