Bourne Mansion Brides, a question....

Do you know if the tables get their own individual waitstaff? I was thinking about this and was very concerned because I do not remember Ben mentioning this. It's important to me that each table has their own server.

I HATE emailing him because my wedding is a year away, so I feel like I don't have the right to bother him yet

Edited because I said my weddnig is over a year away, haha, it's FINALLY under a year away!

Re: Bourne Mansion Brides, a question....

Awesome, I'm so glad you have that down. Things have changed there SOOOOOOOO much since I was there. The menu is even different, so I can't wait to talk to him to see what the hell is going on

Re: Bourne Mansion Brides, a question....

Boy - now I'm worried. I'm getting married in three weeks and I think I've only talked to Ben maybe 4 times! And I've never e-mailed him yet.

Can one of you please share his e-mail address with me. I need to e-mail him with my beer selection for the wedding.

Now I'm wondering what I've been missing and what I should have been asking. Yikes. You guys are getting me nervous!

Thanks!

Re: Bourne Mansion Brides, a question....

Here's another question for you guys....
We are being charged a service fee in our contract. Does that include tips for waitstaff and bartenders or do I need to tip them above and beyond that?

I am, of course, planning on tipping the Maitre'd.

Re: Bourne Mansion Brides, a question....

Tips for waitstaff & bartenders is not included in service charge. My K says tips for waitstaff and BM are at your discretion.

According to Ben, the service charge is actually the staff's salary. It's all BS to me : )
