Tipping Etiquette
Who do you tip for the wedding and what is an appropriate amount?I'm talking priest, DJ, banquet servers, florist, etc?!
I hear so many different things and I want to make sure I do right by everyone but I also want to make sure I'm not overspending.

For the makeup/hair is that for doing just the brides hair? Seems low if they are coming to you and doing full bridal party no?

Re: Tipping Etiquette
For photo & video- don't forget to take into account that you will be feeding them.Matrie'D- we were told $3-$5 per person. I think the tip should also take into account how many people you are having at your wedding. If you are having 200, $150 is way to low.
Limo- isn't gratuity already calculated.
Church Musician/Singer- they are getting paid separately, I don't think a tip is required.
Alter servers- Our priest told us $20 each, we are having a full mass and they are volunteering on a Saturday afternoon.
