How much of a donation are you supposed to give a minister if the wedding ceremony is outside?

For an outdoor service, $50 is a fair donation, unless the minister has to travel a distance to get to the wedding site..then it should be $75-100.

If he/she is already a minister of the church and you are part of his congregation, $50-100 is appropriate. He should be extended an invitation to the reception & if he's married, his wife also.
If this is his job (wedding minister/officiant) or you are not a member of his congregation, you pay what he asks. No invitation is necessary.

You bless a man or woman of God by the way God has bless you! If God has did very little for you than you bless them with that, if God bless you abundantly than you bless others the same. What ever God purpose in your heart to give, give it happily and God in turn will honor it.

Half a day's pay, unless he/she is bringing guests. But never less than $50.
