Our maitre de got $3/guest
bridal attendant $150
Photo assit $50
Photo booth $50
Makeup artist $25
DJ $50
Percussionist $50

I've been told that if a vendor owns his business, it's not necessary to tip them. We also fed all of the vendors which most people do too.
If you make tip envelopes in advance for everyone and hand them to someone you can trust to take care of it... it's one thing less to worry about that night.

I'm not too sure but I've heard alot of the tipping depends on how many guests you have... a $3/pp lets say... as opposed to a flat amount, especially with valet, matre'd and others.
