My RH gave me a list of things that I need to bring with me the day that I make my final payment and one of the things on the list was the tip for the Maitre'd and bridal attendant! They want this a week before the wedding! I'm not doing it because they haven't performed their service yet - what if they are not good. And what if they base their performance on the tip?! Am I being unreasonable by refusing to do this??
What?! That sounds fishy... No way I'd tip them beforehand
That seems odd. I would def say they can get their tip AFTER they perform the service.

no, i would tell them 'since when do people get tipped before they perform their duties'![]()

I asked about the 20% and they said it does not include the Maitre'd or Bridal Attendant. I was warned of that.

That's what I thought! - They basically are asking to be tipped. I have never heard of such a request.
I just paid for two weddings for my daughters and the tip was included in the bill except for the maitre'd. I was not required to pay the tip in advance and would not have, if asked to. Also, they can only suggest a tip, they can't tell you what you have to tip this person. We had one wedding where we were very happy with the service and another where we were not, and tipped accordingly.
Wow that is pretty audacious ..... what is their incentive to provide good service?
My RH incorporates the tip into our actual 'price'... which I think is about $3 pp... To me, I don't really mind... I think he already deserves it b/c he's already done sooo much for us...it's crazy! But, stupid me, I always forget his name!!! LOL

The Royalton asked for $500 (I think it was $500)for the tips. So it's not TOTALLY unheard of.
I can understand being annoied by it or questioning it though. If you feel totally uncomfortable with it then let them know and they should be willing to work something out with you.
Nope, I was not asked to do that ... I def wouldnt do that if I were you

I COMPLETELY AGREE!!!!! that's absurd... i wouldn't give it to them... and a tip is at the customer's discretion!!! it is NOT mandatory!!!!!
Nope, I wouldn't tip them before either. You tip after the service was provided. I doubt you are the first bride that your hall has seen that thinks this is fishy.
