How much to tip?



How much am I supposed to tip each vendor? My list (let me know if I left anything out) and services I'm getting:

Church/Priest....have set amount to give
Limo.....said "tip included" in bill; 4 hrs booked 3 limos, will use less time
DJ.....is getting a meal, booked for 6 hrs possibly 7 (TBD)
Photo....will be at bride's house, church, and reception for "formal" Not to stay past that! (do I give food?)
Video....will be there from beginning to end, getting ready to packing up. Will be provided with a meal. Travelling approx. 30 miles
Flowers....friend of family, giving discount on price
Reception.....includes all food, (cash bar), service, etc.
Cake....won't even see people
Invites...just got them, paid for them LOVED THEM/her. Do I tip?


SO, I have....
Limo(s)
DJ
Photographer
Videographer
Florist
Reception Hall

Any helpful advice would be appreciated! Anyone with experience (either bride/groom/wedding party or if you are a vendor...)

Thanks!

Tip Limo drivers $20 each
DJ, nothing he's getting dinner its enough, but you could allow him to put out a tip jar...it's not tacky...your bartenders will be doing the same thing.
Photo, offer dinner
Video, offer dinner
Florist-Gift card to dinner/thank you for discount
Reception Hall, nothing, your paying a lot as is+a gratuity you most likely do not know about.
Cake, nothing, you paid enough
Weddings cost so much these days, and its kind of you to want to tip everyone as is fit....but many vendors sneak(sorry bad word) a tip in there without you really knowing. Source(s): Banquet Queen:)
Sounds like you already have it covered except for the open bar which should have a tip glass.
20%
I have no idea, I didn't waste my money on that stuff. I kept all the money and invested it.

7 thumbs down...looks like some broke people out there are a little jealous....hmmm?
Here's a decent guideline.
And anyone saying that it's an insult to clergy to offer a gratuity, isn't one.
