Here’s the thing: it sounds like you may not be informed of who gets what and on which contract.
You say that the contract with gratuity included is the reception contract. Typically this includes the reception hall host, place settings, hall rental, and food prep & serving.
Sometimes, servers are hired separately. Read your contract to be sure!
The same goes with "provided wedding coordinator". Their services may be provided, even if the tip would not be covered by the reception contract money.
What this all boils down to, is that you need straight talk from the person who provided you with the contract in the first place. Question, in plain English (and politely!), if the gratuity includes the serving staff and coordinator.
Best of luck, best wishes on a pleased & thriving marriage.
I have worked at a Banquet Hall for a long time. The gratuity extra to the bill is split between everyone who worked for your wedding, but they do also get an hourly wage.
I have seen people give additional money on top of the gratuity, but it is certainly not required. If you feel everyone did an exceptional job, then consider it; but don’t feel terrible if you don’t.
I don’t know where you live, so it may be different there. But this is the general rule where I come from. I personally believe the $3000 should be more than enough.
