Venue Coordinator Gift?

We are having our wedding at the St. Paul College Club in two weeks and I'm wondering what (if anything) we should give as a gift to the venue coordinator?  She has been so helpful with the whole planning process - from the time of the tour, to responding quickly to our emails, to meeting with us whenever we want, as well as providing great vendor recomendations.  I feel like I should do something for her to show our gratitude, but I don't know what? 

I'm wondering - what did or are you guys doing for your venue coordinator?  Is a tip or gift expected by them?  I know that our contract says that a coordinator is part of the rental fee, but I'm not sure what normal ettiquette is.  Any help or insight that you have is appreciated!

    I don't think you are required or expected to give any kind of tip. But if you want to, I'm sure they'll appreciate it!

    A bit off-topic: I'm looking at the St. Paul College Club now as a possibility for my summer 2013 wedding. You like them? What was your budget, if you don't mind me asking? Feel free to private message me. I'd love your input!

    We did a cash gratuity, plus a gift card to Patina for our venue coordinator. She mentioned that it was her favorite stores in one of our first meetings, and was so touched that we remembered!

    I was considering SPCC for quite a long time as well, but unfortunately it came down to the budget and just couldn't afford it. Wendie (the coordinator) does a great job and always responded quickly to my questions. If we had the money, without a doubt our wedding would be there.

    Generally a cash gratuity is appreciated.  It's also very nice to write a letter for her portfolio outlining your excellent experience.

    A letter to her, copied to her supervisor  or to the manager of the venue outling how great she has been to work with would probably be a better gift...she could probably use it to negotiate for a higher salary sometime in the future!
