How much are you paying for the ceremony total? Including music, if you can.
If you could give me even an estimate that would be helpful, since I'm clueless about what to budget for this. I'm a member at my church (if that makes a difference), but I haven't talked to them about it yet.
Thanks a bunch!

We're paying $500 for church, $250 for church music. Then we paid $300 for FOCCUS and pre-cana.

Sure, my church fee is $450, and the organist is $250. We also have to tip the alter servers like $10-$15 each. hope this helps! This was on top of Pre-cana/FOCCUS costs.

We are 'donating' $500 to the church plus $150 for the music.
This includes the cost of pre-cana and foccus.

Re: Catholic Brides - How much for ceremony?
We're having a full mass,(but I don't think it would be cheaper if we weren't) and it's $525. Not sure if pre-cana is included or not.
Who exactly are we supposed to tip? Organist, alter boys, priest? Oh, boy!!!

Re: Catholic Brides - How much for ceremony?
Not catholic but we are paying 300 for organist (fee) donation to preist and Church 300 each
900 in total
If I'm paying that much for an organist (not a full mass) I don't think I am tipping them

You only need to tip the organist and alter servers. You don't tip the priest.

Re: Catholic Brides - How much for ceremony?
Ours is $400 including music.. plus an additional $100 deposit that gets returned to us if we are on time.. so we have to lay out $500 but it will only cost $400.
Pre-Cana is an additional fee

Re: Catholic Brides - How much for ceremony?
We have to PAY .. sorry its not a 'donation' when they tell me how much so I say PAY... $600 lol Includes ceremony and organist...precana was $30 for materials. I am on long island and my church doesn't do foccus... so maybe its just depends on the actual church.
