The guy I got now wants $200 for an offsite wedding.
What do you think?
Onsite is $550 but that isn't gonna happen. He's in Jamaica Queens my hall is in Long Island.

$200 is a great price. My rabbi wants $600 and the priest asked for a $500 donation to the church.

We didn't have to pay anything for my pastor to perform the ceremony. Although we didn't have to we did give her a gift of $150.

I think most officiants charge 400-500 for doing a ceremony at your site.
Goodl luck!

$450 for the rabbi to perform the ceremony at the hall...and he's the house rabbi! So...I would gladly pay $200.

OMG, I have not asked my priest yet about the donation but if it anything like $500 I am going to have a heart attack. Are they for real, I can't believe the church is pulling the same stunt as some vendors, with the high prices.

I paid $400 for my officiant and I thought that was a good price so $200 is great!!!

The judge I'm using is 350.00, not including if we want to have a premeeting or rehersal.

He was recommended to me by a co-worker. He's her pastor. It's interfaith 'christian'. Im so not into the major religious thing.. for so many reasons.
We had to pay $300 extra at the hall to have it for the wedding.. so with the $200 the ceremony comes to $500
It sounds alright. I just wanted to make sure. If anyone wants his info here's their website Reverend Bob Fritch

Sounds like a bargain! We are paying twice that amount.

I think ours is 350 or something like that it covers the pastor, church, clean up, organist. We are giving extra to the donation and inviting the pastor and organist to the wedding because I grew up going to that church.
