FH and I had our food and cake tasting this past weekend (at same venue). We sat down and they gave us each a complimentary drink. The tasting was included in our venue price. The food/cake was brought out by the two banquet managers, not a waitress. At the end we were going to live a tip on the table, however the women came back to us and suggested we go back to the office and go over details. She waited for us to get our coats and follow her to the office. It was a little weird since she was standing there to leave something on the table. We went over all our details, to avoid driving back in march for the meeting they require. It then didn't seem appropriate at the end when we left the office to give her something.
So, in this case, did you/would you have tipped? I was thinking of sending a thank you with a gift card or should I wait until our wedding where we will give a handwritten note with something in it?? Not sure if it will be the same people helping on our wedding day.
