Just wondering, what fees are if you are using a church. We are not, but my FH wants to know. Even if it's a 'donation' what are you paying to use the church?

I believe we're paying around $700-$800...that includes the organist and singer, a clean up fee and Lord knows what else.

ETA: I don't know why they call it a donation when it really is a fee.

We made a 'donation' of $900
It was alot, but it included $$ towards paying the organist, the singer, the alter boys and the ladies who ran the rehersal.

yikes we got all that for almost a 1/3 the price...

St Agnes in RVC. It's $250 for the church and then another $250 for the music, which is the organist. So $500 total

Re: Catholic Brides - How much $$

I do think the 'donation' fee may vary when you belong to the parish or not.

Ours is $350 for the church
$600 to hire the church musicians but that is b/c we wanted the violinists etc.
