St. John's in Center Moriches - I believe it is $450 for parish members all in. BUT - you have to pay for the organist even if you don't use them!

Re: Cost of getting married in Catholic Church?

Yeah, some parishes are very expensive, mine was in Brooklyn, we paid $1000.00 plus $195 for pre-cana. The church tells you the donation fee is $800.00, plus an additional $200.00 'late fee', which means if all of your paperwork in not in 1 month prior to the wedding or if you are more than 15 mins late to start your wedding, they keep the $200.00.

My DH and I are non-parishioners of the church, which can be a reason why it was more.

Re: Cost of getting married in Catholic Church?

I'm getting married at Infant Jesus in Port Jeff on your date actually! I think its $650 plus $75 for pre-cana. One of you has to be a member though, not sure where you live. But they have an earlier time before my wedding that they will do another wedding. The church is beautiful.
