Tipping...

Eliz77

What is the etiquette here? How much do you tip your day of vendors?
I have:
Deacon Event coordinator (provided by venue)Maitre d' Photographer (owner of business)DJ (owner owner of business)Photo Booth, one personLimo driver (gratuity was included in bill)Florist delivery person
I presume I should tip all of them, just no idea what amounts.
Thanks!

Deacon - no tip required - a small gift card is fine if you want to do something extra for him.

Event coordinator - Does your venue have a "service charge" in their fees?  Does any of this go to the staff?  If yes - I'd either not tip extra or tip an extra $50 or so if you think they went above and beyond.  If no service charge, or none of it goes to the event coordinator, I'd probably do $100 or $150 as long as they were very helpful on the day of.

Maitre d - again with the venue service charge question. 

Photographer - a tip is not necessary, but if you really like their work and want to tip them, I'd send a thank you separately after you receive the finished pictures/albums.  We received digital rights to our photographs as part of our contract, and instead of tipping, we paid a premium to purchase pictures through the photographer rather than use a cheaper option like Shutterfly and considered that good enough.

DJ - no tip necessary as the owner.  I'd have $100 or $200 available for a tip if he gives exceptional service.  We ended up having our DJ stay longer, so we had to have $$ to pay him for his extra time and we tipped him some on top of that.

Photo booth - I'd think 10-15% of the fee if you want to, but I wouldn't think it would be necessary.

Limo - gratuity included - no additional needed again, unless driver goes above and beyond your expectations.

Flower delivery - $20-$50 depending on how involved they are.  Are they dropping and running, or doing the set up of the centerpieces, aisle runners, etc?

Event coordinator I THINK is the main head of the venue so I presume she gets paid a pretty penny. In our packet of what to expect the day of, etc, it is mentioned that while not required, tipping the maitre d' would be nice, nd no mention of tipping coordinator. 

Flower people are also employed by the venue to do my centerpieces, so they will be setting those up. At the ceremony, just dropping off bouquets and placing altar flowers, but no aisle runners or flowers/ribbons on pews. 

Thanks for advice!
