What does the service charge go towards? Do we have to tip waiters, bartenders, and valet? Or is that part of the service charge?
As far as I'm aware, that's what the service charge is for. Definitely the waiters and the bar, not clear on the valet though...honestly, when we valet, we tip. When we go to the bar, we tip. I expect all of our guests will do the same, so I'm not concerned that they won't get their fair share. But the waiters are definitely included in that 18%, just not Maitre'D and Attendent.

Well, maybe the valets don't get their fair share...when we went to a villa wedding 2 years ago, FH flipped his shiz and parked in the Mama Lombardi's parking lot and made us walk through the bushes to get to Villa to avoid someone having to touch his car 'unnecessarily'I was mortified crawling through the bushes with the valets giving us the eye in my dress and heels
