My place recommends how much they should be given too... I know my family will each tip their waitresses that tend to their table, its the right thing to do. My father at the tasting tipped our girl $20 cause of how nice she was...
GM of our rh sug. $3 per person
My step dad tipped the maitre d about 800 bucks. The bridal attendants I dont remember between 1 and 2 each
Our hall recommended $3-5/guest for the Maitre'D and then $50-100 for the bridal attendant. My dad plans to have all the tips laid out in envelopes ahead of time I think, to make life a little easier.
My hall recommended we til the MD at least $5.00 pp and the BA $2-3.00 each. If they turn out to be fabulous, I will tip them more. I hear the BA at the Woodlands is OOTW!

the whole topic of tipping the maitre d really annoys me. I would prefer not to even have one. Honestly, what do they do? the wait staff does everything he just says 'do xxx' and he gets 1000??? and doesnt even share his part with the waiters.
its just BS![]()

eta: my hall said $75 of BA but obviously if she does a lot for me i will tip more
i gave $350 to Maitre d and $100 to BA

Honestly; not ours
He was AMAZING
He did everything and anything we needed him to
I couldnt even list everything and he worked his butt off - he deserved every penny we gave him
as a matter of fact; we wrote a letter to fox hollow about him and the bridal attendant because they were THAT good
As a part of our contract, we have to tip the maitre'd $3 to $4 per person... I hired out a bridal attendant because my RH didn't offer one.. I am giving her 18% grutuity of whatever I pay her (I dont know what that is yet though).
of course they do

they get part of the 18 or 20% gratuity that you pay
that is split amongst the wait staff and bartenders
it was in my contract and i asked the banquet manager - i guess every place is different

My RH suggests we tip $5 pp for the MD and $2 pp for the BA. I'm going to go with that and if they do an exceptional job, I will give more.
