Hi Wedding Wire!
Need your help/advice. My fiance and I are getting married soon in Flushing, NY at a traditional Chinese banquet. Our wedding planner recommended to tip $300 for the maitre d' and $500 for the chef, but that seems high...
So I guess my questions are ...
1) For a typical western wedding, how much to tip chef and maitre d'?
2) For a chinese banquet like below, how much to tip chef and maitre d'?
Some additional information:
1) We have ~9 tables.
2) Each table holds around 10 people.
3) Each table costs about $1.2k with alcohol.
4) "A service charge of 20% of food and beverage charges" is added to the bill
5) And there's also the 8.875% NYC sales tax
Thank you!
