yet another tipping question

for those of you who are getting married in a church, are you tipping your priest? if so how much?

also if a vendor owns their own business and is making a full profit off your service do you still tip them?

Priests won't accept tips b/c they're performing a sacrament. But you do have to tip the altar servers.

As far as the other vendors go - I think technically if they own their own business you don't have to tip, but I probably will anyway.

if a person does not work for someone else and keeps all the $$ you're paying, you don't need to tip them

BUT i think that the hair & makeup people should def get tipped regardless.

i will also be tipping the Rabbi (though it's not the same as a priest since the Rabbi gets to keep the entire fee as well)

Priests don't get tipped.

You don't need to tip a vendor if they own their own business, but it might be nice to do so. Remember they're not keeping ALL of the money you're paying them........some of it goes into business costs as well
