Wedding Officiant Question?

If the officiant is setting a fee, then I wouldn't be concerned with tipping them. Tipping is usually when the officiant is providing the service either free of charge, or is asking for a donation.

Those are some crazy prices for an officiant, generally the tip is 100 but if they are charging you 150-200 i wouldnt tip cause those prices are so high and if you are feeding them i wouldnt tip either. I got lucky after my search for an officiant and my fiance mom had a friend willing to do our wedding but the last officiant i had talked to wanted 300 and i told him he was crazy and hung up on him.

I agree with you. The fee you pay is basically paying for their time. A couple hundred dollars for a ceremony that last 30 minutes or so is already a lot of money.

We paid $500 for our officiant and he met with us twice before the wedding to discuss details and how we would like the ceremony to go. We invited him to stay for the reception and included him in our reception count (food alone was $85 per person) so we figured that he didn't need a tip on top of that since $500 was a lot to begin with but he was totally worth it. I would say it's ok to skip the tip!

I searched around online and the consensus seems to be that a tip is optional. Most officiants include it in their fee, and don't expect anything above that.

If they do an extra excellent job, you may give a tip.
