Catholic Brides - How much for ceremony?

Original post by crazy_betty

To everyone having a Catholic Mass:

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!

mine is 300 plus 225 for the organist, 25 for the sexton, and 20 for the altar servers (this is what is written on the sheet). They offer pre cana for $60 but i'm electing to do one that is a fri/sat since the pre cana they offer does not work w/ my FH's work schedule.. it is costing me nearly $200 though

Pre Cana w/ them is $ 75 and is offered 2x a year (limited to 5 couples and they meet 4 evenings for 2-3 hours each over the period of 1 month).

If you're 'donation' fee includes the church organist and you are not using the organist (you're using outside musicians instead) is the fee negotiable? I kinda feel like its inappropriate to ask the church (which is why I was curious about your opinions lol) but I feel like if I am not using the organist then shouldn't the 'donation' be less?
