We had our final meeting with Fox hollow and they recommended we tip $4 pp... which would be about $700. I found that to be an insane amount and most of what I've seen people do is about $200-$300. And I'm pretty sure wait staff gratuity is already included in the price we are paying. I don't want to insult them but I found that's a lot. What is the best thing to do??
my hall recommended $2 or $3/pp which will be like $600 for me I'm expecting about 200
no clue what we will give but I guess it's however much money we have left. Do what makes you feel comfortable
I'm getting married at the Fox Hollow, as well. $4/pp does seem excessive - and thats coming from someone that worked throughout undergrad and grad school doing cocktail service. We're having ~125pp and I think $350-400 for the M-D is a good amount. The wait staff and bartenders are included in the Fox Hollow price - but, we still have to take care of our bridal attendant, as well. Did they mention what was customary for her? Do we also tip the manager, as well?

Woodbury CC recommended 4-5$ pp which does seem like a lot to me but that's what we decided to give.
OK - MD and bridal attendant sounds right. I hear some people feel obligated and/or pressured to tip the manager - but, since they get a handsome commission on our booking, I really don't feel thats right (unless they really go above and beyond)
I'm actually still unsure about this. Since we have the whole place to ourselves, we have 3 different Maitre D's and there is NO WAY I can afford to tip all of the $4 - I may as well have another party. I'll probably decide on around $500 or $600 for each.
mine originally said 2-4 then at final said 3-5 pp so we went with $500
Yes I have 2 bridal attendants and 2 maître-d's but my hall said anywhere from $3-5 but then the four of them split that. Which seemed a little low to me so I think I am just going to give what I feel comfortable at probably around $400.
We are having a very small wedding and we will be doing $4/pp for the maitre d tip
