We did not have to put a deposit down at the church, but I don't know if every church does this.

You usually give your donation on the evening of your rehearsal. if you have a separate fee for the organist, that can be given at the rehearsal (if they are present for that) or the day of. PreCana is usually paid at the first pre cana session.

A deposit...I have never heard of that!

My advice is not to tell them if you have looked at reception places before booking the date...they do not like that!

Deposit is the wrong word... I would say it's a 'donation' or a 'tithe' to the church. it doesn't hold your date as a deposit with a hall or a vendor would.
