I have seen some posts that some girls still give money to the Matr'd after the gratuity is included in the price.
Our gratutiy was over $1,000. We are having 163. I don't give him $2-3 per head then right? Is $100 okay? Or do I give more?
What would you do/did you do?

Re: Gratuity for RH?
For my RH the maitre'd is not included in the service charge. I don't think a lot of places include it. Most brides tip the maitre'd and bridal attendent seperately. I think the standard is $3-$5pp for maitre'd and the bridal attendant is about $150.00 but you also want to tip based on service. So if you feel that they have gone above and beyond, you might want to give more.
There is a thread about tipping. It breaks down the tips for each vendor. Try to search it. I'll look and see if i can bump it for you.

They told me that it does include the gratuity for the matr'd.

Well that's great if it's included. It's really one less thing you have to worry about. If the maitre'd does a really great job then you can give him a little extra if you choose.

Re: Gratuity for RH?
Thats great that your hall includes the matr'd fee. My hall like most others dont include that in the gratuity. I was told I had to give $2-3 per person before the reception starts for the matr'd. I think whatever you decide to give after that is totally up to you and depends on how you think his service was. A lot of brides often feel that their bridal attendant is usually the one that deserves the extra tip rather then the matr'd. Thats just what I have heard from other brides..hth!

Re: Gratuity for RH?
Your Rh charges a 23-26% gratuity fee, so perhaps that does include the maitre d fee, and you should not feel obligated to give extra, unless they do an outstanding job
