"I'm Hazely Lopez from "Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling" and I'm here to talk to you about how to give a wedding tip and minister fees. Tipping has always been a very personal thing to do. It is usually expected when the server has done more than above from the usual expectancy of their job. It can be given inside the actual gratuity that is given to the one paying in full. The average would be 15% or more, it is all going to depend on really the personal touch that you want to give to it. It is appropriate to tip the servers since they have been on you all the time all night long. That way they can really feel that they have had feedback from you as well. Never forget also about those other persons like the photographers, the caterers, and also the person that plays that organ for you, the organist. Paying an average of $35, usually $50 that is an average of what usually is paid. Now talking about minister fees, usually minister fees are a standard average of about $75 but usually nobody really gives less than $100 and if they had an actual traveling expense it is also polite to go ahead and give an additional expense for driving. I'm Hazely Lopez from "Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling" and I congratulate you on your wedding day and remember that extra help comes extra handy."
