Good question, I have the same ones! I think that theknot.com has a tipping guide.

Doens't the Matre D' get a few dollars per guest or is that someone else? My hall reccomends 2-5 per guest. I think we're going 2.

I'm not tipping the Banquet Manager. My hall does not provide a bridal attendant. so I will tip the Maitre D only.

but if you have a bridal attendant, she gets a tip too.
