Officiant Cost

Anyone mind sharing or FM the cost of their officiant? Just wondering whereabouts we should expect to spend and to know if we are getting ripped off! TIA

We looked at a nondenominational and a rabbi and it ranged from 750-950. We ended going with a rabbi that infused my filipino culture, and his Jewish one in our ceremony. He charged 750. I wanted a priest and a rabbi but was told priests dont perform outdoor ceremonies. :(

Technically priests aren't supposed to, but the more liberal ones will. I'm using a priest (and he's a real priest, not someone who calls themselves a reverend) and he's doing the ceremony outside.

Can you please tell me who you're using and his contact info? I'd really appreciate it!
