Limousine
Driver:
A tip of 15% is the appropriate amount to be given to your
limo driver.
Be sure to read your contract, as a tip of as much as 20%
has often already been added into the final bill.
Photographers, Videographers, Musicians, DJ:
If you felt that they have done an exemplary job or have
extended a special service then it is customary to extend
a 15-20% gratuity.
Civil
Ceremony Officials: (Judge, Justice of the Peace, City Clerk)
In the past, it was considered improper or even impolite
to "ask" a set fee for services rendered.
However, today, you may find a "suggested" donation
for those in public service. In a recent survey, it was
found the average gratuity was between $50 and $75. If travel
is involved, an additional gratuity is expected and deserved.
Clergymen,
Rabbis, Priests:
No less than a $75-$100 donation is considered proper and
it is quite rare to find anyone giving less than a $100
gratuity for the wedding officiant. This donation should
be given to the best man prior to the ceremony for him to
present to the officiant. If travel is involved, an additional
gratuity is appreciated and deserved.
Organist
and Musician:
Church organists, musicians and vocalists are often included
in the rental fee for the church. When this is not the case,
a gratuity of no less than $35 is appropriate. The average
gratuity, however, is customarily $50 for each person. When
the organist, musician or vocalist (soloist) are close friends
of the couple or family, the gratuity averaged $75-$100.
