Bridgeview Brides....Tipping

Hi ladies,
I'm just looking over our contract and I am seeing that the Maître D tip is figured into our price. I feel weird not giving him anything. Are most contracts like this? Did you tip above this amount on the day of?

Thx

I gave him $200 (about a dollar per guest) over what was suggested. He did a great job and my wedding was flawless. I also gave the bridal attendant $200 as she did everything for me (Literally!).

I tipped the Maître de and bridal attendant too, I think $400 for Maître de and $300 for bridal attendant, they were always 2 steps ahead of me the night was perfect!!

Thank you so much girls. This was so helpful. I felt uncomfortable just thinking about not giving him anything. So glad I asked!

I tipped the banquet manager because she was also my bridal attendant.

I would not have tipped if she wasn't. The best tip you can give is a good review.

I wrote great reviews about her all over wedding sites. She actually contacted me on Facebook and thanked me.

Thank you Gina!! Kathy is my banquet manager, maybe when we give the final deposit next week we can ask her if she'll be our Bridal Attendant as well. This is so so helpful!! Can't wait to make up all the tip envelopes and be done with the money portion of all this :)
