I am trying to figure out the tips and fh says I am being stingy...what do you think???

Maitre’d (@$3pp for 100ppl) = 300
Bridal Attendant = 100
Day of Coordinator (she is the owner)= 100
Photographer = 100
Photographer’s Assistant = 75
Videographer = 75
DJ = 75
MC (owner of the company) = 75
CH musician = 50
Florist = 50
ceremony musicians (2pp) = 50
Hair & Makeup (2 ppl) = 150

Total 1200

Also are you tipping your banquet manager???

I think those tips look good. I was just discussing these with my dad the other day..and I am also wondering if you tip the banquet manager. Ours was so nice I would like to give her like $100 but I don't know if I should?

So far mine looks like

Maitre’d = 750 + depending on RSVPs
Bridal Attendants = 50 - 100 each
Photographer = 100
Videographer = 100
DJ = 200
Florist = 50
Hair & Makeup = 50
Bartenders = 200

When you put florist, does that mean the person delivering the flowers? Just wondering because I will get flowers delivered to the hotel, to church and CPs to the RH. How will you know that it's the same person? My personals are going to be delivered in the afternoon and CPs early evening..


We were told how much the maitre 'd tip is. We have to give that in when we make our final payment.

I just typed a response and it said I wasn't signed in! Grrr! I received a guideline list from my DOC. It's on another PC. They look about right. We tipped the catering manager because he went above and beyond. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll check the other PC to see if I see any major discrepancies.

Actually I think the maiter'd does get tipped as part of our contract as I am looking at it again...but I was told that cost covers the staff and not him...I am confused.
