The property is charging this \u201cservice fee\u201d of 18% which is not a gratuity and is subject to sales tax. So does that mean on top of the 18%, you\u2019re going to be taxed an additional 7%, whatever your state sales\u2019 tax is? So if your reception cost is $10,000, you\u2019re paying $1800 for the service fee and an additional $126 in sales tax?<\/p>\n<p>If I were you, I\u2019d want a definitive breakdown of these charges. If they are also including state and local taxes and fees\u2013besides this 18% \u201cservice fee\u201d\u2013I would dispute it vehemently!<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n<h4>Amy Rubins, Fete Perfection<\/h4>\n<p>Taxes on service fees vary by city and state so this may very well be normal but I would double check. Otherwise if your caterer provide excellent service above and beyond what you expect you might add another 2 to 5% which I am certain would go directly to the servers. Having worked in the catering industry, this would be very much appreciated. Enjoy your wedding day!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7246\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7246\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/6640ed18182e90c8db2aa10757fdb915-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7246\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/6640ed18182e90c8db2aa10757fdb915-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"wedding catering ideas\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7246\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7246\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/6640ed18182e90c8db2aa10757fdb915-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"wedding catering ideas\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocknrollbride.com\/2012\/04\/a-picnic-wedding-alex-denise\/\">rocknrollbride.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Emmanuela Stanislaus, Precious Occasions, Wedding and Event Planner<\/h4>\n<p>I agree with the other experts as far as tipping being optional. Tipping is reserved for service that is above and beyond so do not feel pressured to provide the staff with a tip. According to etiquette, if you receive exceptional service, then the banquet captain should receive a tip of between $1 to $5 per guest which depends on your wedding location. The wait staff usually receives 15%-20% of the food bill (prior to service fee and taxes) or somewhere between $15-$20 per wait staff.<\/p>\n<p>Tips should be something that you include in your budget. In addition to the catering staff, you should include tips for your photographer, videographer, dj or band, officiant, limousine driver, and planner. Please do remember that tipping is optional.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our catering package includes an 18% service fee described as this: The Service Fee (not a gratuity) is calculated on food\/beverage and labor and is subject to sales tax.
