Okay, one more time....

How much are you tipping the Maitre'D?

My hall told me $4-6 a head...

I think this sounds high. Am I wrong? I have friends who have tipped the maitre'd a flat rate, like $300.

Would any of you mind telling me how much you are giving? Thanks so much.

A friend of mine who was married last year tipped her maitre'd a small amount because the gratuity was huge for the wedding and the maitre'd was being payed for working; she thought a tip was just to thank him for his help, basically.

I'm gonna wait & see how I feel that night. If I'm happy w/the service I'll tip higher of course.

I agree. We're having a small wedding (approx 80 ppl) so the $4/person would put us at about $320. If the service is outstanding, I'll prob give a bit more. If not, a lot less.
