Cost of getting married in Catholic Church?

I know, I know it depends on what church.

I've been calling around and I just feel like the fees are out astronomical.

So far the general concensus is about $1000 if you are a member ... $1500 if you are or haven't been a member for long.

It just seems like a lot to drop down before the 'expensive' stuff even begins!

So... if YOU got married in a Catholic church here on Long Island -- throw a girl a bone. LOL a cheap one!

Where and if you don't mind saying, what were the fees for getting married there?

Thanks so much.

St. Rose of Lima in Massapequa is $725 for members, $900 if not. It breaks down like this: $25 foccus, $75 pre-cana, $375 church ($550 if not affiliated), and $250 music. Also, have to tip altar servers.

St. John's in Center Moriches - I believe it is $450 for parish members all in. BUT - you have to pay for the organist even if you don't use them!

Re: Cost of getting married in Catholic Church?

Yeah, some parishes are very expensive, mine was in Brooklyn, we paid $1000.00 plus $195 for pre-cana. The church tells you the donation fee is $800.00, plus an additional $200.00 'late fee', which means if all of your paperwork in not in 1 month prior to the wedding or if you are more than 15 mins late to start your wedding, they keep the $200.00.

My DH and I are non-parishioners of the church, which can be a reason why it was more.

I'm getting married at Infant Jesus in Port Jeff on your date actually! I think its $650 plus $75 for pre-cana. One of you has to be a member though, not sure where you live. But they have an earlier time before my wedding that they will do another wedding. The church is beautiful.
