    Hi all,

    Getting married soon (civil ceremony in a hotel), and just wondering if there's a settled etiquette/protocol on whether or not to tip the (civil servant) registrar.

    My gut says no, but the partner doesn't want to breach etiquette...

    Ta!

    Yeah, no one I've asked seems to know. I really think not myself, but other people's thoughts would be good!

    Civil servants are not allowed accept tips/gifts for doing their jobs, so no.

    If you ask the solemniser to join you for a drink/
    dinner after the ceremony, they'll turn you down.
