Can someone please explain the 23% service charge that is listed? Is that 23% of the total? For example if I spend 20000, will I have to pay the 6% tax in addition to 23% fee? That would make my wedding cost an extra 5000. Is this how I'm understanding it?

The service charge doesn't apply to everything. It's on all food and beverage and maybe a few other things but that's the big one. It doesn't apply to ceremony fees etc

The service fee is essentially your tax and tip/gratuity for that piece of the wedding. Any part that would require someone working on that day will have a service fee:
Food/beverage, cake delivery, floral delivery, transportation, photography/videography (if DFAP), and your planner/aids for the day, etc. It's the reason why there's great debate about tipping vs gifts vs abstaining completely from either!

So I don't need to tip for the food and beverage but all other vendors I would right?

Click here! I didn't tip, but rather left all vendors/aids personalized wedding favors. We had candy apples, so I worked with my florist to make vendor specific ones that were in their prep room. For my planner and her assistant, I sent personalized beach bags with items from Ocean city, NJ! I sent my florist a sephora "give me some lip" set after having a discussion with her about how much we love lipstick!
