tip the banquet manager that set everything up for you?  what about the florist?

Also, how much did you tip:
dj/mc?
limo drivers?
shuttle?
photographers?
videographers?

    We  tipped the DJ/MC each $200.00 b/c they were family friends and charged us next to nothing to dj for us.

    The florist & photog we gave $100

    We were required to tip the maitre d' (who I guess acted like the banquet manager like you are describing) We had to give $300. (We didn't give our venue manager anything)

    We gave our waitress $50

    Florist - didn't tip

    dj/mc- DJ - We gave $200 (we didn't have an mc)

    limo drivers - We were required to give 20%. This came to $115. Plus we gave an additional $30.

    shuttle - didn't have

    photographers - main photographer (he owned the studio) $100 / his assistant $50

    videographers - (same company as photographer) We gave $50

    Also, we gave the alter server at church $20

    Everyone's answer will be a little different. But hope this helps! GL! You are so close!

    I really have no clue as my husband told me that was his job and not to ask him what he was tipping LOL

    I do know we did not tip the florist

    I am sure he tipped the dj, limo drivers, i know he tipped our shuttle guy, i know he tipped the photog's assistant, I know he tipped the video guy.

    and, I am sure he tipped the maitre'd but we had a HUGE issue with her and if he didn't, I wouldn't be surprised LOL

    ps-they say that if the vendor is the owner of the company, you are not supposed to tip them.

    I got a cheat sheet from the knot.

    The wedding is this Saturday and here is the plan so far
    DJ $100
    Florist-says not to tip
    Hair/make-up 15% ~$100 each
    organist $25
    priest $100

    I only followed what the knot said.  Most of them it says 15-20%  We are trying to stay on budget and I am looking more at 15% than anything else.  If they are great, I will give more.  I am horrible about what to tip people, and now see that my estimates seem really low compared to PPs. Yikes!
