Ok... So I'm planning checking things out and I get a quote of $$$$ for like 20/25 min that is crazy!!! Was anyone else surprised at at the price?
Oh no you're scaring me....I am meeting with ours for the first time next month!
I really have to start looking at this !
um, yeah. i almost threw up. i'm meeting with a pastor that married my friends last year next week if you want his quote.
I was shocked when she told me the price, it was hundreds more than I was expecting. Then it turns out that since my parents are members, it was free!
I saw prices ranging from 400-650.. ours is 500 if that helps
We're getting a judge and its 350. Most officiants charge about 500 bucks and up.
both quotes were $550.00 and both are venders on here!!! I was a little shocked, more then I thought it would be for 20 minutes!!! Oh well one of those unexpected budget breaker!!!
In the town of Brookhaven any elected official can officiate the wedding and they cannot charge more than $75 from what I understand. We had a judge do it for free :)

I am usually very budget conscious but when it comes to the officiant I made sure we found someone perfect, who turned out to be Rev. Deb. I figured it is the part where we actually get married, and I want it to be perfect. Her prices are not outrageous, not sure if you've looked into her. We are having her custom write our ceremony, and paying just under $500, but she has other options that are less expensive. HTH!
I literally threw up in my mouth when I got my first quote....I am not paying that much $$$ for a 12 min ceremony...I'd rather pay someone I know to get ordained online lol

My Fiance and I are having a Priest and a Rabbi (interfaith) and let me tell you that we are paying $900 each...don't even get me started...that is up from the $750 we were being qouted by another guy but just really like the rabbi...Our ceremony with fees and decorations is going to be close to $4000...so frustrated!

how do you get info for finding judges? I have ministers in the family, but won't do it bc I'm not having a religious ceremony
We're having one of our best friends get licsences and then perform the wedding. Well write the ceremony ourself, which might be a headache....but were just gonna pay for his certificant and thats it!
