I'm probably going to tip our server.....is this customary? Should I be thinking of tipping anyone else? It's a private tasting for me, FH and 4 of our guests.
Update: The 6 of us had a lovely private tasting in the dining room of the bridal suite. Our server was a very nice, young girl. She wasn't very knowledgeable, but she did try to be as accommodating as possible. I gave her $20 when we were leaving. It felt like the right thing to do. She really worked hard to make sure we were happy and taken care of.

Re: Tip at the Tasting?
I wonder what proper etiquette is here...
I think you should bring your BM a gift, such as a nice box of chocolates. You want to keep him/her happy! However, the chef and server are employed by the venue and are paid to do a good job. I don't think they expect a tip. Also, I feel like you may insult the chef if the tip is too small...Some chefs think overly highly of their food!

I think we left maybe $10 or $15 to the server. It was 3 of us at the tasting, and she brought out some wine and soda for us. I think you should leave a small tip.

Re: Tip at the Tasting?
we did just left some $$ on the table.. b/c our testing happend at the restaurant.. but for our engagment, the hall provided the food and they had specically told us no tipping.. so we didn't leave any..

Re: Tip at the Tasting?
Im thinking now that we might have over tipped our server at the hall. We went there for dinner and gave him $50...I think that was too much compared to what I am hearing now...

Re: Tip at the Tasting?
my RH didnt have a tasting but for my sister tasting she could have 4 people with her and my dad tipped I think $20. When we booked my Rh there was a server who brought in drinks and some anti-pasta type stuff and my dad tipped her $10. Thats just how my dad is.
