But can someone please help me figure out how much I should tip each of the following:

DJ (incl. a dj, mc, and percussions)
Photog (incl. 2 photogs, 1 lighting person)
Videographer
Limo

And do I need to tip the priest, organist and cantor (I don't even know if we have a cantor!).

THANKS!

I'm tipping:

band/dj $50 per member
photog $50 per person
video (not having but i'd do $50 pp)
Limo was included in my price

No you dont have to tip the priest/organist/singer. The fee for them is included in the $$ you pay to the church.

At my church we HAVE to tip the members there, $200. for the organist she also does the whole rehersal dinner thing. Canter $50. WE have another guy who handles our candles and such he is $30 and my priest we are giveing $100.

What do we give the person who handles everything at the RH (dont know what he is called)

You don't usually tip the banquet manager uinless s/he went above and beyond for you and got you tons of freebies for your reception. They usually get a commission.
