How much did you allocate to your tip budget?

I originally had $500. Then I bumped it to $1000.

Now I'm thinking $1000 isn't enough either.

I spent a lot in tips. I spent about $3000 on tips.

I think I'm probably looking at $1000. We have no musicians though, just the DJ, photog, maitre'd, bridal attendant, florist, and officiant.

Edit: make that $1500. damn.
