I wouldn't tip the bartenders. I would leave that up to the guests to tip if they chose too. But everything else looks fine. I didn't see your photographer, photographer assistant, videographer and videographer assistant. Didn't know if you planned on tipping them as well.

Is that a lot for the hair stylist and makeup artist? How much are they charging you day of? My hair is going to cost me $125, so I was giving a $25 tip. My makeup is $90 so I was going to give a $20 tip.

Both reflect a 20% tip. The most I'd go up to is a 30% tip. I can't imagine giving more than what I'm paying for their service as a tip. Just my opinion though :)

Oh I'm calculating the tip for the hairstylist and make up artist based on the number of girls they're servicing so that's 7 of us in total.

Also, for the photographer and videographer im still undecided if I should tip. FH used to do a lot of wedding photography before and he said he never expected or got a tip. I'll probably tip the assistant though.

Are you paying for your girls to get their hair and make up done? If not I would say that it was theor responsiblity to tip the hair and makeup person servicing them. Just my opinion.
