How much to give as honorarium to officiant in vow renewal ceremony?
My husband and I are doing a quick low key vow renewal ceremony with no guests other than my parents, with whom we are very close, at a wedding chapel in Gatlinburg, Tennessee on a Monday afternoon in December. The cost of the ceremony (just ceremony and 1 photograph) is just over $150.00. I assume we should still give the officiant an honorarium, but how much should we give for this?

Honorariums are optional and utterly appreciated.
As the fee for chapel and minister is quite low, it can be anywhere from $25 to $100.
It may also vary as to how good of a job your officiant does.
My advice: Give according to your heart and pocketbook.
