Gifts for the Priest & Organist?

I am making a "donation" of $350 to be married in my Parish Church. This covers the services of the church and the organist & singer.

In addition to the money, should I be giving them a token gift as well? My first guess is no - maybe a personal note thanking them for being a part of my day but I'm not sure what's appropriate.

Any ideas?

I don't think it is necessary, unless you know the priest and organist personally. I think the donation is what is excepted.

I just got a call from my travel agent about Sandals in Antigua. He sent two couples there in January and they said the food wasn't so great and were very disappointed. This is the first time he is getting this kind of response. My travel agent will be seeing his Sandals Rep Sunday to find out what is going on down there or if the couples were expecting something different (they were older).Does anyone know of anyone who was there in the last few months?

BUT.. SUSAN REFERRED JACK & ROSE SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS BOARD. WHY???? BECAUSE SHE HAPPY WITH THEM. GET THE POINT?
