Church fees

How much is it to rent a church for the ceremony? I'm part of a church, but its way too small so i need to rent a chuch. The first place i looked is charging $550. Is that too much?

We are paying $650 for Infant Jesus in Port Jefferson. $550 sounds good to me.

Re: Church fees

We're paying $600 for St. Patrick's in Bay Shore so $550 sounds about right.

Our church didn't have a fee...not even a suggested donation...they just said to be 'generous' and give 'from the heart'...so we did.

Re: Church fees

Well, I don't thnk you can jsut rent a church. Then again, I guesss that is what you'd be doing if it is not your parish. But you need to get all the information from the actual church's that the both of you belong to. For Ex: baptism certs, communion. It's simple, jsut silly paper work. and the fee is usually anwheer from 500 to 750. My church was 550 plus the fee for the organist and a fee for the vocalist.

Re: Church fees

Mine was free because I'm a member. I think it's like $425 for non-members.

Re: Church fees

Now I feel like I overpaid for mine -- $850 including pianist, but we are not members anywhere and it seemed like the going rate in the area we wanted our ceremony.
