What is an appropriate deposit for an officiant

Our officiant never indicated the $$ amount for a deposit. What's appropriate to send? Is there a certain %?

Our Officiant didn't ask for a deposit. She booked us and we pay her the day of in cash.

We're paying $400 total and she took a 50% deposit.

So anywhere between 20 and 50% is appropriate?

Sounds like the range and it depends on the officiant.
