Do you tip the priest? Wedding in two days

Do you tip the priest? Wedding in two days

We are only having a ceremony (not mass) and I am a member of the church. Our church charged us $500 and we are hiring a soloist to sing at the church (part of the church chorus, but we still have to pay him separately)

Do we tip the pianist? (He is included in the church fee)

If we tip him...how much?

Do we tip the soloist? Even though we are paying him separately.

Do we tip the priest? He is a member of the church and we are already paying 500 for the church?

Your help is much appreciated

We didn't tip him. I think it might be kind of an insult to tip a man of the cloth...

i've been told that you don't tip! but you can make a 'donation' to the church, like 10%

Everywhere I've read said you don't 'tip' clergy..the fee or donation is all you give.
