What is the customary percentage for tipping vendors at the reception (photographer and assistant, videographer and assistant, DJ & MC, Limo for after reception pick-up my me and fiance)?

Hi all, What is everyone giving for tips for vendors? The ettiquete board said 15-20%, unless already built into contract. Would it be ok to give a gift (e.g., bottle of wine)?

    I'm not sure what happened to your post but I can only read part of it, and it's posted three time. I tipped what we could afford, but it was about $50 pp, depending on what they did.

    After I did my engagement shoot with my photographer I gave them a $50 dollar gift card to a camera store. I plan on at least $100 per person for the main vendors and $50.00 for the others.
