Re: Do you tip the organist???
the church has us pay the organist separately- $175 so shes not getting a tip- if I wasnt paying, I might give her something small- no more than $50 hth

Yeah her fee is 200 and we are paying her separately as well so I wasn't sure do we still add on a tip to that?

I would say no, we're paying her fee and thats all- I think its a lot to pay her $175 for less than an hour of playing

No extra tip. I'm a church singer, and I only get my regular fee Not that I wouldn't be grateful for a tip, but I've NEVER gotten one

I agree with some of you about the no top thing...although my parents said that we are suppose to just tip everyone the day of the wedding...LoL!!!! Theres way too many people to remember.....our church donation pays for the organist so not too sure if im tipping or not yet !
