I HATED my maitre'd, yet we still tipped $2 per person -- so it was $250 -- they recommended $2-3 pp
We loved our photo/video, we gave them $150 each, and the assistant $50
I'm not sure about the DJ -- DH did it -- I think it was the same as photo/video.

Maitre D/Bridal attendent -$600 Photographer(s) $ 120 each (5 person team)
Band- I'm greek so it's the money thrown on floor for the traditional greek dance

My Maitre D:$100 B/C She was nowhere to be found and did not do anything. Bartender:$100 b/c so many of our guests tipped them DJ:$150 Photog: $200 Limo:$50 Also, some of our guests even tipped their server so keep that in mind too. I mean I would never think of that but I was told by the staff that our guests did.

Re: Out of curiosity, if you don't mind me asking...
i'm having a smaller wedding, so for the Maitre D it's more like $200. The DJ I'll probably just give around $50 extra because it's just the one person with the owner of the company. I know you're not supposed to tip the owner.
Really I'm gonna see what I can afford. I definitely do not plan to go UNDER what is customary or expected, but if I can afford more & they do a great job, I'll try to go a little over & beyond. But i dunno. Me & FH will probably be cutting it pretty close as is, so they'll just get what they get
