Tipping at Christening?
How much am I suppose to tip the maitre'd? I have no clue what is appropriate.
TIA

Re: Tipping at Christening?
I think it depends on the size of your party and the amount you spend.
When we booked DS' Christening we were given a "recommended" amount for the tip. It was over a year ago, so I don't remember how much they said.

We are doing a buffet and they included a 20% gratuity in the bill. I am not giving anymore but will tip the bartender as we are paying the tab (not included in the catering).

Ditto.
They got enough off of us.

We are having 155 people at a catering hall. We were told that our service and gratuity charge does not include the maitre'd. Should I just ask my sales person what she suggests or is that tacky?

Wow- that's bigger than my wedding!
Yes, I would ask- they should be able to suggest.
