Vendors: The... [article]
Limousine or carriage driver(s) : 15 to 20 percent of the total bill, given at the reception site.
Delivery truck drivers (florist, baker, etc.) : $5-10 each, given at the delivery sites.
Musician(s), DJ: 15 to 20 percent of their total fee, given in envelopes at the end of the reception.
Beauty, hair and nails: 10 to 15 percent of your bill, unless your service is done by the owner of the salon.
Seamstresses: Optional: $15-25 per fitting.
When not to tip:
Officiant or clergy: Civil servants (judges, justices of the peace, etc.) are not permitted to accept tips. Clergy are generally paid a flat fee for their services, or they may ask that a donation be made to their house of worship instead.
Hair, beauty, nails: If your treatment is done by the owner of the salon, a tip is not appropriate.
Florists, photographers and bakers: Because these vendors are most-likely self-employed, it's not appropriate to tip them. However, if one of their staff does something remarkable to make your day that much more special, feel free to tip that person directly.
