tipping - who and how much?

i looked on some other posts about tipping but i wanted to get a recent opinion. im updating my budget and i want to make sure i dont forget anything.



do you tip the priest? im already paying $475 (the 'donation fee') to get married in the church. do i have to tip on top of that? from other posts some people say you are supposed to and other say its tacky.

limo?im only getting one limo for like 3 hours (to the church and to the reception hall) . how much do i tip for that?

photographer?

bridal attendant?

maitre d?
is it $3-5 per person? that seems like a lot. does that depend on where you are having the wedding?

band? do you tip the band? if so, how much? i have 6 members in the band

florist?

i dont need to tip the bartenders, waitstaff, parking attendants, etc... thats included in the cost per guest. i also dont need to tip for hair/makeup (family)

Re: tipping - who and how much?

do you tip the priest? No, the donation is enough. They are not supposed to accept tips

limo?im only getting one limo for like 3 hours: not if tip is included in ur price. You may feel like giving something if they do a great job.

photographer? Yes, they say 15-20 percent, but i have heard no more then 150 for any vendor

bridal attendant? yes, i have heard one or two hundred depending on service

maitre d?
is it $3-5 per person is what everyone says

band? do you tip the band? I have heard 20$ per band member

florist? No, just the delievery person
