Tipping the officiant
« on: October 15, 2011, 01:36:22 PM »
Is is customary to tip the officiant at a registry office wedding?  If so, how much?

Thanks!

Well, she was an American girl, raised on promises.
She couldn't help thinking that there was a little more to life, somewhere else.
After all it was a great big world, with lots of places to run to.
And if she had to die trying she had one little promise she was gonna keep.

No. Absolutely and definitely not. They are professional public servants (local government employees) called "registrars" and are forbidden by law to accept tips, and would be (at best) amused (at worst) insulted if one was offered. I believe it is often the custom in the USA, but not here.

Ah, thank you very much. I'm so glad I asked. I don't want to commit some huge faux pas on my wedding day. :)
