ceremony fees

I was just wondering how much your churches etc. were charging to have a wedding ceremony. I just finally got some info on the chapel I want to have my ceremony in, in hawaii and my mouth dropped-4,500 dollars a la carte.

I was really surprised when we found out it would be $1,000 to use the church. I knew there would be a fee, I just thought it would be $300-$500.

Not having it at a temple but as part of our having everything at Russo's the ceremony is only an extra $750.00.
We had priced a temple in Massapequa and they wanted only $800.00..not bad for a temple ceremony. Others we had priced were $1,000 +

Re: ceremony fees

Yeah, the membership fee was an extra $300 but they waived that for us.

Re: ceremony fees

membership fee? never heard of such a thing

Re: ceremony fees

well, its a 'Facilities use and set-up fee' but if you are a member they waive it.

Really all we are paying for is the Pastor to personalize the wedding since he knows us, the musicians and the sound guy.
