Hi Karissa.
My FMIL told me the following:
1. The priest
2. Limo drivers
3. Matrie D at the hall
4. DJ
5. Photographer
6. Videographer

I think i am missing someone but those i remember! Oh yeah and your Best man usually takes care of brining the tips around.
If you think of any let me know!

I was wondering the same thing!

I had NO idea you are supposed to tip the priest!!! I thought just the altar servers.....What's the going rate on priest tipping?

Thanks! I thought the attendants also, so is it the priest too? Oh no? We will all be broke by the time tipping is over

Do you tip the flower delivery person also? I didn't know that you tip the priest too! I thought that its one flat fee.?

Usually the rule of thumb is that if it is their own business you DO NOT tip. If it is a person working for a business YOU tip. So....I would not tip a makeup artist or hair stylist if they are coming to your house. If they work out of a salon, I would tip.

I think the tip for the limo drivers is included in the price. You can tip more if you want to.

What if your hair/makeup girl works out of a salon and is coming to your house?

OMG!! You have to tip the DJ, Photo, & Video???? How much 15%? 18%? As if they don't get enough of your money!

WOW........15-18% is a lot to tip the band or dj, when you're paying them so much. My band is costing us 7k. i have a bit of a problem knowing that i need to pay for them to eat, and then tip them also.
