I am getting married (YAY) next month in Costa Rica 
The resort is all inclusive. And I know from when I was on vacation in Costa Rica, tips are not viewed as mandatory the way there are here, especially in NY, but I believe it would be a little different for a wedding? I am trying to update my budget for tips (obsessive spreadsheet user over here). And I am totally lost. I have asked the coordinator and she told me "tip whatever you want!" so innocently thinking that is helpful advice. I have googled costa rica tips and I see that "a few dollars is more than enough for daily service". I see some people mention "if you are paying an individual for a service don't tip them at all". But these answers are not as straight forward as I need.
I (tentatively) plan on tipping as follows and PLEASE provide any suggestions/recommendations, especially people who have had a destination wedding/worked a destination wedding/are native to costa rica/lives in costa rica! lol
*My coordinator (service cost included in package) - $50. Because she is a doll. And the wedding sales rep located in Florida told me $10-$50 would be more a good range. I know that is a lot for Costa Rica and I think she deserves it.
*Transportation to and from the airport/hotel (not provided by hotel, I found them and paid them in full myself) - $1-2 per person (4 trips on diff days total (2 from hotel and 2 back), about 20/40 guests on each bus). So, $40; $80; $40; $80
*Saxaphonist for welcome party (paid through hotel) $300 for 2 hours. I was thinking just a small tip since $150/hour seems steep for Costa Rica. So tip maybe $10?
*Guitar Trio for processional music (service cost included in package) - $30
*DJ (paid through the hotel) $600 for 4 hours. $30
*Servers for wedding and welcome party - (invoice paid included gratuity charges of 15% of all food so I am assuming this gratuity is charged up from for the servers so maybe $50 for each group to be divided up however they choose?)
*Bartenders (all inclusive resort, but paying for service of 2 bartenders at welcome party and wedding $100 per bartender so I am thinking that most of that is going to them) maybe just additional $20 each to start their tip jars off?
*Excursion tour guides (not provided through the hotel, I found them and paid them myself) - $125 for each group excursion (ATV zipline 4 hours long ~ 20 ATVs rented & Full day tour of volcano ~ 15 people)
*Hair and Makeup (service cost included in package but she charges $80 for hair and $80 for makeup) - $30
*Photographers & Videographer (not provided through the hotel, I found and paid them myself) - 7 hours of photographer and 4 hours of videography with all photos taken provided to me within 3 weeks $3,400. I was thinking $25 each (I believe there are 2 photographers and only 1 videographer)
THOUGHTS? SUGGESTIONS? RECOMMENDATIONS? Obviously level of service will be a factor. But I would like to budget as if everyone did a good job. If anyone goes above and beyond (as my coordinator has already done) than I will have extra cash on me anyway.
