Just was wondering what is the normal amount that people tip the following vendors:
- DJ (one man) - Florist - Photographer - Videographer - Limo (do you tip additional if the tip is already in the contract?)
TIA for the help!

DJ = $60-100 Florist = $30 (probably just the delivery guy, right?) Photographer = $100 Video = $100 Limo = $30 extra, even if gratiuty is included, if they did a great job.
These are just ballpark estimates that I give my clients, but always feel free to add or take away as you feel necessary.

I think the florist will be there the day of not just the delivery guy- all the flowers are going to one location so it's not just one guy. They have to set up a chuppa and then break it down after our 30 minute ceremony and then set up for the reception.

Oh ok, then I'd go more in the $75 range. But if it's the OWNER of the shop, they should not be tipped (owners rarely accept tips), just the delivery/set up crew.

Okay great and thanks- it might be the owner (he mentioned that we're his only wedding that day so he might be there) but either way at least I'll be prepared

Hmm...Depending on the number people in the band...I'd say $20 per person...Or you could do a lump sum like, $150 extra and let them divvy it up.
Don't forget, you're also probably paying for their meals, so factor that in too!

Yes we're paying for them to eat as well but since they are all suggested Russo's vendors we might be lumping them in somehow and not having to pay what the rate is for the vendors to eat- which saves us some $$ in the end.
