If I remember correctly the maitre d is 3-5 pp
The bridal attendant (depending on how much they do) should be 75-100

I could be wrong though. I think there is a tipping section somewhere on here

Wait! I'm confused..... I know we have to tip our maitre'd, dj, mc, and bathroom attendants. But who is the bridal attendant? And we arent supposed to tip photographer and videographer? Should we tip bartenders or do guests tip as they get drinks?

This is what Fox Hollow told me (This is what we tipped)

Bridal Attendant - 50-100 ($100)

MD - $3 - $5 a head (a little more that $4 a head - $550) At our final meeting (week of the wedding) they also threw in that the suggested min for our room was 500.

I did not tip anyone else at the RH.

Also a tip is a tip - give what you can based on the service you receive, I hate this business that 1. they are expected and 2. there are suggested amounts.

matred sounds like it is entirely far too much and honestly tips are generally at your own discretion...i do not understand why they even spoke to you about this



I agree. I know for my reception hall, I had to pay an 18% gratuity.. Now, I don't mind tipping and I hate to sound abrupt, but where exactly is my 18% gratuity going? And when does it end??? Oiy vay...
