When in your contract with the hall you are paying a 15% gratuity, do we have to tip above that to the Maitre'D and what not?
I'm confused....

Not a dumb question but at least at my hall, yes, you still have to tip the maitre d on top of the gratuity

I know, it can get very overwhelming, not to mention frustrating!

This bugs me as well. The 15% gratuity actually pays the salary of the workers and they don't see a dime of it. I used to work in a catering hall. The only tips we made are what the bride and groom handed us or guests. It is ridiculous and a way for the hall to make more money.

One of my friends who works at a catering hall told me this. It is just wrong and the people who win out are the very rich owners of the hall Grrrrrrr
