Advice needed/Officiant Fee

Hi all,

Hoping for advice regarding payment for both a Catholic priest (who is performing the ceremony at a church other than his home parish) and a Protestant pastor who is co-officiating.  What type of payment "thank you", if any, is appropriate? 

Thanks!!

    I googled this when I was looking at the same thing. Most of the answers said that if a priest/pastor is performing the ceremony in a church then you give a donation (usually $100) to the church on their behalf for their time. This was if there wasn't a fee. Not sure if yours is charging a fee. If so, then I'd say a tip for an amount you're comfortable with is appropriate.
