How Much Should You Pay the Wedding Minister?
By onslaught82
If you feel that the service provider has gone over and beyond what was expected of them, then it can be appropriate to provide them with more of a tip for your needs. If you feel that the tip is not enough, then by all means, a larger tip can and should be left.
Which wedding vendors are normally tipped and what amount? Of equal importance is knowing the proper timing in tipping. You will have several times when you will need to tip a vendor. A list of these vendors and times are listed in this article.
Some vendors already include a tip in the final bill such as the caterer, the banquet managers, waiters, bartenders, and bridal consultants. Generally, an appropriate tip is about 15%, but should only be provided if the service has been very excellent since you are already tipping them in the bill.
You should tip the limousine driver for their service. Be sure to checkthe contract to see if there is an amount of gratuity already. If it already included, then it is not necessary. However, if not, or you receive high levels of service, a 15% tip is appropriate.
Florists, musicians and photographers are vendors that usually deserve a tip. If they do not list a gratuity in the contract, then a of 15% or even 20% is appreciated. For excellent service a larger gratuity is also proper and welcome.
Priests, Rabbis and Clergymen. This is one tip not to be forgotten as it is not provided elsewhere. The groom should provide a tip to be given by the best man to the official. Commonly, this amount should not be less than $200. While it is a donation, it should always be provided. More should be provided if the official had to drive a long distance. If under contract with the Wedding Planner then the amount could be less. If the Officiant has a set fee then that should be the minimum amount and a tip could be 15% of that amount.
Should you pay the Justice of the Peace? Since there may not be a set cost here, it is proper to give a gratuity of $50 to $100 for the civil servant who provides the ceremony. There is often a suggested donation posted in these offices for these services and it also appropriate to ask for the amount over the phone beforehand.
Proper Wedding Etiquette includes giving gratuities and should not be neglected. The Best Man can be assigned this responsibility if the Groom cannot or prefers not to do this. Following proper wedding etiquette in tipping shows genuine appreciation and class. - 18098
