Price for Priest?

Hey Ladies,

Im Jewish and FH is Christian. We are having both a Rabbi and a Priest officiate our wedding at the RH. my Rabbi is not charging us anything, but the priest is. He mentioned $500 (and we dont have to do precana, or donate to the church or anything like that.) Is that a normal number? What are you ladies being charged?

TIA!!!!!!!

Same here so your price is pretty good. We are also having a cantor at the church and that alone cost a lot of $$$ so you are lucky you don't have to pay for that!

We are paying $800 for the church, that seems about right. Usually if you are close to the the priest they dont charge you and you just give a donation.
