I'm a bit clueless on how who you tip and how much also. I've heard if your dealing directly with the owner you don't tip bcuz they are already pocketing all the $$. I'm going to try and not worry about that too much right now though since that won't need to take place til the day of the wedding. i'm sure we'll figure it out by then.
Wow... That's a lot of tipping. Lol. And my FI wants our budget to be under $20k.... Can some one point me in the direction of someone who's already accomplished a similar task? Lol I heard DIY stuff while time consuming is fairly cheap... Is that true? I know I ask a lot of questions... Just let me know when I start to get annoying... Lol seriously! I just want to gather as much info as I can before my classes start up and I have to put wedding stress aside in exchange for last semester of school stress...

halls do their gratuities differently.. at sand castle, all of those tips are included in PP price, except bridal attendant and maitre'd.. so it may already be in your price too
