Hotel wedding and coordinator tipping.

[fredflintstone]

My DD weddings went off without a hitch.

It was arranged by the hotel and we paid for an day organiser etc and the cost had a 21% service chsrge added.

SHe was given a magazine with tip guide lines with the organiser of upto $500 for tip.

As we have paid a 21% service charge do you think we are expected to give an additional tip to the main organier at the hotel ?

Do they normally get the service charge ?


On the day I tipped the bar staff waiting staff in addition to the service charge as I felt they gave exceptional service.

But hotel planners are just doing their job and have 21% added. Should I give them more (I Forgot to bring the British goodies ?)

Any thoughts/advice ?

Well personally I wouldn't ever give $500 in tips, thats half my spending money!

I won't be tipping anyone over $20. I just don't have the budget to go any higher.

I wouldn't have thought that it was expected if a service charge had been added.
