I would love some advice on tipping. We are at an all inclusive venue but some of the outside vendors are business owners, we budgeted for tips but what I am calculating is way over budget by about double. Guest count- 150, 6pm-11pm. Also, how are you tipping the venue staff? Should we just bring checks the day of once we learn their names, or should I reach out to see exact names of people scheduled, we really prefer not to bring cash in this large of an amount, but we can get cash if that is what is expected. thanks in advance 
Bartender (2 people)- 20% of alcohol bill, + individually $100 each since we are not doing a tips jar= $1300 between 2 people
Valet (1-2 people, works at venue)- $200 flat rate per person, we have a shuttle from a hotel where maybe 15% of guests are staying.
Caterers/servers (venue in house, I was told 5-7 people on staff for serving and cleanup)- 20%/ each person= $360 each if 5 people
Photographer (owns her own business)- 20% = $300 (6 hours package if that matters)
DJ- 20%
Makeup Artist (owns her own business)- 20%= $120.
DOC (Venue provided)- flat $300? - the venue provides a DOC as a mandatory part of weddings, there was no line by line breakdown. We have will have spoken to her twice by the wedding, once when we met her on our tour of the venue, and a second Zoom call one week out from the wedding to review timeline.
