That sounds about right. I'm in the same RH and room. The Maitre D is included in our contract for about $1.50pp. Are you sure it's not in yours?

---

it is but in catering halls that included tip actually pays for the staff...so u have to tip extra

We were told by a hall (not the one we ended up booking with) that you tip the bridal attendant between $100 and $150.

---

We were told $75 was customary for the bridal attedant. So depending on how good she is it might go up or down from there.
