oh my i did not know it was that much theses days. are you a parishoner or FH? maybe ask for a breakdown of costs and see which you can get your own at a cheaper cost- not 100% sure

I would have to pay the church, the clergy, the organist, the wedding coord, the custodian. I called and thats what they said their price was I am beyond upset. What other options do I have. I relly am not sure about getting married at the RH.

maybe someone in family is an organist ? do you have any priests in family or a deacon that can do the ceremony? just some ideas....

That seems a little steep. Usually when you pay the church, the priest, organist, etc in included. My FH and I are getting married in a church that neither of us are members, and we are asked for a $100.00 more of a 'donation' that members. Is there another church you can look into?

Wow. that seems a bit high for a church. Some RH's don't even charge that much. Would that be an option for you guys? Getting married at the RH?

That is nuts! Our synagogue is just asking for a donation in order to use the temple. I think it might be $500, but it is also tax-deductible because it is a donation!

I couldn't believe it. not to metion the 'wedding coord' was such a nasty biotch. If I do decide to have it at the RH, where could I find a Pastor?

Jeez, that's a lot, but if you're paying for a bunch of different services I guess it evens out in the long run.

If you're not Catholic, then It would be recognized by the church, if you ARE Catholic, then that's something you need to take into consideration.

That is a lot of money... Unfortunately my church is charging the same thing!!!! Even though I think the price is ridiculous it is where I went to high school and I honestly cannot see myself getting married anywhere else in this world... It took me a while but I have decided that this is somethiing I am going to have to get over and just pay up. I have looked at a few other churches and nothing else compares for me....
