I am a professional photographer, and I don't ever expect a tip and neither should the other people that you have hired to perform a service. The price that they have asked you to pay should be the only compensation they receive. The only thing that I would suggest is make sure your caterer is paying the waitstaff a decent pay rate, and you might possibly pay extra but only if that is passed on to the waitstaff.

i know for photographer's they are already have a set price for what they feel they should be paid for the amount of work they will be doing for the wedding. Now...if you extremely like the work they provided and feel they did a superb job you can then send them a check as a "thank you". I was a wedding planner for my best friends' wedding and I sent the photographer another $100 as a thank you for an excellent job. Videographer we did not have since it is so hard to get those to look decent. We didn't want to chance having a trashy looking video.

Most of the vendors have preset amounts already added into their costs. I would not tip them at all unless they have went WELL over the call of duty. Bartenders usually get extra tips for service, but once again gratuity is already included in the bill.
There should also never even be a hint by a vendor asking for tips or extra either, since your contract specifically states how much is due and when it is due by.

You tip the workers 1015% only if you feel they done a great job since if they work for a company the company pasy them.If the person who works the event say the dj owns his own dj company but is also your dj at the wedding he gets nothing since he is getting money from your weddiing as is the owner.

Only tip if the service went above and beyond the call of duty.

I wouldn't tip them anything. They should be charging you the price they feel they deserve for their services. They shouldn't expect anything above this.They're not a waitress getting paid $2.15 an hour.

vendors - nothing - unless they go over and above!
servers & maitre 'd - what ever you would like. iwhile generally threre is something n the final bill - if someone goes over and above -- they generally appreciate being recognized.

We didn't . we include them at dinner and passed out their business cards to our friends and family who inquired at a later date.
