Tip Hired Officiant?
I am hiring a Rabbi/Priest combo for our wedding in a few weeks, and I am wondering if we should tip them? We are already paying a $750 fee per person, and a separate site fee for a university chapel. What do you think? TIA.

I wouldnt the $750 goes right to them, i wouldnt tip on top of that.
I'm probably going to make a small donation on top of what we are paying but that's only because we like him so much and because of one other thing...when he first quoted us his fee it was slightly more than we wanted to pay, so FH said we're on a budget, and he knocked off almost half which was wonderful but honestly, we can afford to make a little more of a donation than that so I'd like to give the church a little more for his time an efforts so maybe a $25 or $50 donation in addition to the $300 we are paying. We had budgeted $400 and he's doing it for $300 so I think it's only fair.
we hired a judge, but did not tip him. he gets to keep the whole amount we paid him, so he didn't need more on top of that!
I don't think you should tip but I honestly think they might expect it. I def think that you are paying enough money already.
Thanks for your help girls!
