Help!! Tipping on a package wedding (Brentwood Country Club)
Hi everyone! I'm new here and I have a question for anyone who has had a package wedding. FH are having ours at Brentwood Country Club and I was under the impression that they were adding 20% gratuity to the bill at the end and I was just informed that they are not.
My question is this: How do I tip based on the price of services if I don't know how much each individual vendor is costing me? And who do I tip and who do I not tip?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

I wouldn't tip for a wedding based on the price each vendor charges. It's not like tipping a server or a bartender at a restaurant. Check around and I am sure you will find a list of appropriate tips for wedding vendors online somewhere.

Re: Help!! Tipping on a package wedding (Brentwood Country Club)
We are getting married there in march .When we did our menus we were handed a sheet with "suggested tips."
Maitre'd gratuity : $3.00 -$ 5.00 per person at the affair
( this is split three ways between the Maitre'd ,head chef and 2nd chef)
Bridal attendant gratuity -$50.00 - $100.00
I am going to give $ 50.00 dollars each to the florist , D.J. and photag
it adds up omg

This sound similar to what we did too. We had a package deal but the gratuity was included for staff but not for vendors so we tipped $50 - $100 per vendor. But it does add up
