Tipping the band and photographer?

Is this supposed to be done at the end of the night? If so, what percentage? 10% 15%?? I am kind of hoping we don't have to tip because all the tips can add up to almost $1500 if you include the maitr'd, bridal attendant, makeup artist, etc...It never ends!!

It does never end but i definalty tipped my photographer, assistant, video and dj. They were with us all day and were there through all the emothions. I did tip at the end of the night, didnt want to get jipped out of anything.
But all in all its your choice whether to tip or not.

Don't most vendors have gratuity as part of the contract?

we tipped every one of the vendors at the wedding.
it all depended on how it was dealing with them during the planning process, and how much we could afford
i put the money into envelopes with a little thank you card and labeled them. then i gave them to my sister and she handed them all out

What percentage of their fee did you tip them?
10% 15% 20%
Thanks!
Also, can you tip when you pick up the pictures a few months down the road when we pay our final payment or is it customary to tip right after the wedding?
