How much will I end up tipping total?

I'm having about 170 people (we think) and I dont have limos or musicians (though Im still thinking of adding them )

people at the Hall
DJ & MC
Florist
2 photographers (from same company)
2 videographers

I agree, I am not tipping besides Matre D, and hair and makeup. If I am giving you thousands of dollars for photos, videos, music, thats enough money for you! Am I the only one who feels this way?

I spent a boatload on tips, I could have had another vendor entirely! Here's what I eremeber tipping:
Band- gave an extra $250
Flower delivery- $10
Photographers (2)/videographer- total of $300
Hall- tip was split between maitre'd, bridal attendent and two captains- $1200
Limo drivers (3) - $25 or 30 a piece

Almost $2000 total

I tipped similar

I had 2 DJ's and Mc and a percussion player - so I wound up tipping $350 total
Photographers (2) plus video - $300
Hall - Maitre'd - $500 ( approx $3 per person)
Bridal Attendent - she was awsome so I wound up giving her $250
Limo Drivers (2) - $50 each
Makeup - $40
Hair - I don't remember
so approx $1500
there were other little tips here and there so I am sure it was more then that
