does the officiant get a tip if its just a random person who doesn't reallly know you - not a church or anything like that - getting married at the RH if so how much is appropriate?
i will be tipping my officiant as long as he does a good job ... probably $50 tip

good question...I feel like they shouldnt except it LOL
I would give it at the end!
I got married at the RH and didn't know my officiant well, but we gave him a $50 tip after the ceremony when he was congratulating us before he left.
I think if you have a private officiant who is already keeping all or most of the fee, there is no need to tip. For example, I think the Rabbi is costing close to $700, I won't tip him, that's all money in his pocket, but I might make a gift to the priest who is not getting the church donation
Our rabbi is costing us $850...and all of it is going to her. I'm not going to give her more $$ on top of that even though she is wonderful.

I think I read somewhere not to tip them, but I will tip mine...not sure how much though!
