i think its just protocol basically

Re: QUESTIONS LADIES...

basically its like anything else you would tip for 15 - 20% is what is acceptable so a standard amount isnt really fair
the bigger the party, the bigger the bill, the bigger the tip

I think and don't quote me that you do tip your Matre De (my spelling stinks) and your bridal attendants if you have any. I am totally under the impression that you do not tip your banquet manager.... But i suppose if you wanted too you could.

Re: QUESTIONS LADIES...

i agree, i never heard of tipping the BM, the others YES!!!

I agree! we are already paying gratuities! And another thing I don't get. We are supposed to feed the vendors like DJ, and photographer. I'm going to don't get me wrong but my employer doesn't buy me meals!! So I pay them a lot of $$ then spend a lot of $$ on their food and tip them $$? Man am I in the wrong field!

I think the gratuities in your catering bill goes to the BM.

Re: QUESTIONS LADIES...

See if I were to go to a RH where I'm not bringing in my own caterer I would not mind feeding the DJ and Photographer and stuff. But I am leaning towards bringing in my own catering staff and they can eat but it just better not effect there work! lol!

Getting all sleepy afterwards

In my opinion HELL NO! Not if she comes with an automatic charge!

Re: QUESTIONS LADIES...

1 - I have never heard of an automatic charge - i guess you could give more if you wanted to
2 - Feeding the vendors is nothing new, it has always been considered the right thing
3 - Yes, i do believe the gratuities in the RH bill go to BM (not all but some)

I know, it adds up like crazy!!!

ETA - Like I posted earlier, you tip all services 15 - 20%, or what you feel appropriate so the bigger the party, the bigger the bill, the bigger the tip (FOR the wait staff) vendors are usually a flat amount per performer or service
