I think its all dependent on what the RH guidelines are.

Double check your contract with the RH. Ask them specifically If they are charing you a $300 fee because they are hiring one for you, or if thats the flar fee for this tip. Also if they gratituty includes all those things you mentioned... Our contract speificially stated exactly what was included and where we needed to tips (ie Maitre'D and Bridal attendant)

Other people you tip would be any other vendors that you hire

like others said-verify with your RH--but if they are charing you a tip fee-- you shouldn't have to pay another tip for the matire d'. what about the bridal attendant? do they charge you a tip fee for them ?


list of people to tip that day that most people do:

hair person
make up person
flower delivery person
limo driver
photographer
photographer asst.
videographer
DJ
MC
Percussionsist (if you have one)
ceremony musicians

bridal attendant


totally optional people that you do NOT have to tip but if you want to give extra you can:

Captain
Waitstaff
Bartenders
Coat check
Valet
