I was told that the 18% gratuity we pay covers the waitstaff and bartenders... all you have to tip seperately is your maitre d'...
I think on average $2-5 per person...
do u know who your maitre d' is...???

I don't think we have an attendant assigned to us but I am not sure. My Maitre d' was Barbara but I just found out that she had to take a leave of absense so we are now having PAUL... FH and I originally sat with Paul to work out the contract so I am glad we already know him...

Hi ladies,
I just thought I would post to say hello, since I will be bride #3 that day

Our Matre'd is Dan and he didn't mention anything about an attendant, but I am probably having fewer guests than both of you - about 100-110.

Hope all of your plans are going well- maybe I will see you that day!
