tipping vendors?

Hey Ladies,
I am trying to establish a budget including alot of the incidentals....which vendors are supposed to be tipped, and how much? I know the maitre'd and bridal attendant, but not sure about band, photogs, limos, etc.! What are you planning on doing?
TIA!!

I am tipping the Maitre D, limo, photographer, videographer, and D.J. I wouldn't give them too much. Maybe $50-$100...Depends!

Tipping for me alone is almost 2K. Yeah, I can't freakin believe it myself!

Thanks for the 'tips'. The article was helpful, too. I'm still thinking about the Maitre'D, who wasn't mentioned in the article, I don't think. The Banquet Manager suggested $500 for the maitre'D. Does that sound right?

Here is another tipping thread

TIPPING

Check your contract for the Maiter'D. Some places have it in there and tell you how much pp you should give. I am having about 135 and plan on giving her $350.00 So depending on the amount of guests you have 500 could be right.
