Tipping the Maitre D??

Original post by AMJA

Sorry for bombarding the boards this morning!!!


Getting married in 2 1/2 weeks! And I got tons of questions now!!!


How much are you tipping the Maitre D at your wedding?

ETA: Someone brought up a good ? Do you tip waiters/waitresses too? Or does the Maitre D tip out?

The RH told me btw $600-$1000
Is that absurd?!

I was thinking more like $400. And I believe that's what she originally told me.. that's what I had that number stuck in my head..otherwise I never would have known.

What are you going to tip? Have you asked your RH what the norm is?

Thanks!!!!!

You know it just seems like people want to nickel and dime you when you are having a wedding!
a 20% service at any other restaurant would go to the waitstaff. Ughhhh this makes me mad

By the way, what a Maitre D?

If tax and gratuity are included, what does that cover? Is the maitre d' tip not included? I'm confused!!!
