We ended up giving our maitre d' $400. How you figure it out is to tip them between $2 to $3 dollars. You figure how many guests, bride and groom. Muplity that number by 2 or 3 and you will get the number that you will need to tip. We gave extra because our maitre d' was excellent!!
I'm giving $1K. I feel like that is somewhere in the middle.

I had put $400 in a tip envelope for the maitre d beforehand, but DH insisted on giving him another $200 b/c he was so attentive to us the whole night.
ETA- if you worked it out pp it was $4

Re: How much did you tip maitre d'?
Since our RH said that the MD's tip goes to the MD only we gave $2 per person, $400, and then she did such an amazing job that I added more to the envelope at the end of the night. But I think $400 is extremely generous for one night of work!

We gave $400 and had under 200 people - so it worked out to be a little over $2 pp

We gave ours $300, but he totally made out because my dad and FIL also tipped him at least $150 each as well.

Thanks ladies! Our hall said $4-6 pp, while our DOC said $2-6. I think we've decided to give around $3.50. It works out $700

Re: How much did you tip maitre d'?
how do you know how many ppl you will have to tip? my hall suggested 3-5 per person (waiters, cooks, help, matra, etc....)
i guess you should call before hand and get an idea of how many ppl so you can give the right amount?

We had about 187 people and tipped our maitre'd $1,000.
Our Maitre'd and bridal attendants went above and beyond.

Re: How much did you tip maitre d'?
i was told it is customary to tip between $3-4 per person. You should also base your tip on teh srevice you get that night.
