not to sound stupid after recent drama but...

Original post by jennandrolo

I understand tipping the Maitre'd but can you explain to me again how the waitstaff gets tipped. I remember Denise mentioning the gratuity included actually pays them and isnt their tip.

So how would I tip them and how much?

i may be wrong, but i thought that the service charge was for the waiters and waitresses

then the tip if for the MD??
is that right??



it may be.. not really sure... i actually always thought that the Maitre'd was supposed to share it with the staff... and honestly the staff do so much more that the maitre'd - the staff deserves the tip over him.. JMO

Wow I feel horrible now. I have never tipped the waiters or waitresses at a wedding before. I always assumed they were being taken care of with the 18% (or 20% it seems) gratuity that was being paid. Guess I'm gonna have to call my RH and find out what the deal is
