Invite Officiant & Organist?

We are paying both the officiant and the organist for their services.  My family knows the officiant somewhat in that we see him once a year on xmas eve when we go to church.  We have never met the organist.  We have three questions:1 - We have already invited our officiant and his wife to the reception and they are coming.  should we invite our officiant to the Rehearsal Dinner as well (it will be immediately after the rehearsal)?  If so, do we invite his wife also?2 - should we invite the organist to the Reception?  If so, do we offer her a "plus guest"?  3 - should we invite the organist to the Rehearsal Dinner?  If so, do we offer her a "plus guest"?Thank you!
