ceremony fees

Original post by michellecarin

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.

Our churcg is charging us $500. Its $150 if youre a member though so were working on becoming memebers. (I really like the church though, so its really not just to save money)

really? well i know alot of other churches give you the fee WITHOUT the donation fee you need to give and you think its one amount but then when its time to pay everything you realize you need to make the donation and its about that amount.

Our RH charged us $750 and that includes the flowers. And then if we get a deacon we will give a donation or we will pay for a non denominational person if we have to.

Re: ceremony fees

so far i know that ours is $400 for the church and $100 for precana but now im def going to call and see if the $400 is the fee or the donation and just make sure that we dont have to 'pay' anything extra. i think FH's mom is going to give extra anyway because she's super involved in the church.

$400 for the wedding at the church and a donation to the pianist/music director there - $200 suggested

= $600 total
