Tipping your Officiant

We purchased an all inclusive wedding package at City Hall with a photographer. The package includes a 2 hour photo shoot, hair/makeup, flowers and boutonnière, 2 locations for photos and an officiant.

How much would you tip your photographer, hair and make up person, florist, and the officiant? She has paired up with various vendors, so I feel like I should be tipping them separately?

The package was $1500 for price point purposes... Thank you for any feedback!

If you have a breakdown of services in the quote then I would do 10-15% for good services and 15-20% for superior services. I could be wrong here because I have never heard of tipping the florist or officiant. Usually, it's a donation to the church or organization the officiant is affiliated with. I found this blog maybe it will help. Good luck.

Wow what a steal!! I would give your hair/makeup $50, florist $25 (if flowers are only your bouquet and boutonniere, more if they are providing flowers for photos too) , and photographer $100. I think the fee of the officiant seems to be part of your package and not someone who is typically tipped!
