Or do we tip ON TOP of that? If so, how much? I thought the 18% took care of everyone that night.

At my semi-final appt, when I was told the avg maitre'd tip, I was told that it was up to me whether to tip the bridal attendant or not.

No one ever told me that. Our fee for the maitre'd is stated in our contract...nothing for the bridal attendant. I would have never known that.

What is the average?

Check with your hall...but I believe most do not include the MD or bridal attendant in that 18%.
