Wedding is tommorow and I'm worried about tips

Here's what I'm planning

Florist - $50
DJ and MC - $100
2 Photographers - 100
Maitre D - 250
Bridal Assistant - 125
The church/organist/soloists are friends - so my mom is giving them gifts.
Limo is taken care of.
We have no video. We have 120 guests. Is all of this appropriate? Did I leave anyone out?

Thanks

Sounds very generous and just fine!

You may want to tip the waitperson who serves you and your family/bridal party. They're usually far more attentive than the maitre'd! We gave our waitress about $20 or $30. It's not required, but just thought I'd mention it!

You seem to have everything else covered.

Relax and enjoy your day!!

My wedding is today, and I was in the same predicament. I think you're about right. The 'recommended' amount for the Maitre'd/waitstaff is $2-4 per guest. I plan on seeing how they all do, and increase or decrease accordingly!

Have a great time, my MOH's parents own it and they do a wonderful job and the food is amazing! I'm praying for you to have great weather for the view!!
I wish I could have mine there but it's to far from our church in farmingdale
