Church

I'm going to a church service tomorrow to meet with the pastor.

For those of you who booked a church do you just give the 'donation' on the wedding day or do you have to leave some sort of deposit?

TIA

No, we have to pay a fee, but it is due the week before the wedding.

Re: Church

I don't know how much our 'donation' will be. We are going to meet with the preist hopefully this week or next.

Re: Church

We dont have to pay until the wedding rehearsal.

We paid $25 for the FOCCUS test ( which we took in Feb and are still waiting to get the results back), its $75 for Pre Cana which we are supposed to start in Sept and $625 for the church and music.

Re: Church

I'm pretty sure we don't have to give any money until a month or so before the wedding? I think there's a fee for FOCCUS/Pre Cana? I really havn't looked at the paperwork since we went in June... & even then I was like 'I have the date, no money is due for a while so this is the least of my concerns right now' lol

Re: Church

We are paying a $500 fee for the ceremony and music, and $75 for pre-cana.
