Rabbi pricing

Hi! Has anyone been out there pricing Rabbis? I have gotten a few quotes of $750 or more - is this normal?

I believe it's on the high side of the normal range, but I could be wrong.

Re: Rabbi pricing

I got pricing from $450-$500. That seemed like average. I got two one for $750 and one for $800. Keep searching.

Re: Rabbi pricing

the usual honorarium (we dont say fee) for a rabbi or cantor on long island is usually anywhere between 600-1200.

you are not just paying for the 20-30 mins of the service, you are also paying for the hours that we spend meeting with the couple and for the time we take to put your ceremony together.

We got married at a temple that was not ours so we had to pay that temple's rabbi 700 to stay home. Our rabbi and cantor performed our ceremony as a gift to us.

Ours was my DH's childhood rabbi. We paid $450 to the temple, not the rabbi. And he met with us twice before the ceremony...

Our cantor was about $450-500. He did an amazing job and had an amazing voice. His name was Cantor Harris Cohen and he is a vendor on here. I highly recommend him.
