Priest yes, organist, singer no since they are the only people in the world that make $150 bucks each in a half hour.
ALter girl yes since it is a family member.

not us - I think $550 is more than enough for 20 minutes of their time.

Re: Is anyone tipping their priest and organist on top of the church donation?

Yup! The priest probable $75-$100.
I didn't even think of the organist or the singer so probably not. If there are alter boys (guess I should check) I will tip them $10-$15 each.

We're not. We're paying enough for the church and organist as it is!

Re: Is anyone tipping their priest and organist on top of the church donation?

no way. i think we are being charged WAY too much as it is. not to mention the double booking the ceremony, putting us in the book for the WRONG day, and then not getting back to me to confirm. forget it.

Re: Is anyone tipping their priest and organist on top of the church donation?

Our priest is from a different church - so we're giving him a separate 'donation'

I think paying the church for the space and the organist and the singer a fee is quite enough. I'm sure they'll do a lovely job, but enough is enough.
