Re: maire d tipPosted by robnlauren78 This may sound crazy but I'm not even sure what a banquet manager of Maitre D is. I know that where I am getting married is run by 4 people. I went to my RH twice. My first visit I met one person, and I met with another when I booked with my initial deposit. I had to pay an additional 20%, what does that go to? Nothing has been mentioned to me about additional $ the day.

Re: maire d tipPosted by LMEL1223 Posted by night_nurse We went in for our final payment today, and our BM told us, for a wedding our size (~190) the maitre d would typically receive a ($900-1200 tip) She's got to be joking, right?

Re: maire d tipIt's just another way that reception halls inflate their prices after their lure you in saying "only $70 per person!" when in reality it comes out to more like $100 after all of the tips & taxes.

Re: maire d tipI say F them all lol you have paid enough as it is, and its not like you have been working with ur matra D this whole time, you meet them the day of ur wedding for a few hours, and i doubt they do much wht bring u food and water and drinks and make sure the hall is set up they way you want it? Isn't that what they get paid to do regardless??

Re: maire d tipI worked at a hall when I was younger and we NEVER received the 20% gratuity that couples pay! We made a fixed rate. I was a waitress. It was $55 a shift which we had to go in like two hours early to set up was there for 5 hours for the whole wedding then like two hours to clean up. So servers really don't make a lot! They rely on guests to tip which most don't. So I will be tipping the waitstaff. Just a thought! They are the ones I feel that make the wedding.

Re: maire d tipI paid over $100 per person plus 20% plus tax, so we're talking like $150 per person to the RH. So I just did the math and the "20%" comes to almost $3,500. They can take thier "tips" out of that.
