Re: Whats the price for your church
$575, and we paid $65 for Pre-Cana
You'd think we were getting married at the Sistine Chapel! It's the church we both grew up going to, so I'm glad to be getting married, there, but it is SO NOT PRETTY.

Re: Whats the price for your church
250 if i remember correctly, plus an extra 150 for the organist. our fees sound pretty low but it still kind of bothers me. as though all those years of weekly donations and tuition didn't happen.

$450 MANDATORY donation...That sounds more like a fee...They are all out for $$$$$
i totally agree with you. when me and fh went and sat down with our priest and we talked about when we were going to have the wedding and blah blah blah we then got into fees. our church is like $750- and they call it a donation. so when the priest said that i was shocked. i said right to him i can donate $750.00 if i have it or i can donate any amount that i want right since its a donation??? he then turned around to me and said no its manadtory. i looked at fh and i said then thats no donation that is a fee that i HAVE to pay. and your completely right the church is only out for their money.

Re: Whats the price for your church
i think mine is $500. to be honest i was surprised it was not more, with how much we were paying for every other wedding expense.

Re: Whats the price for your church
It's $250 for minister, if you aren't an active member of the church (witch I am thank God ) it's another $250, there is also a mandatory clean up fee.... then there is the soloist $100 organ $100 Pew bow $2 per bow Flower $60 for 4 (but you can also use your own florist) and about $1 each program
all of those are extra so you really only have to pay the $250, HOWEVER, if you cannot afford it, they will work w/ you. I think that's how it should be!

But, because it's a 'donation' it becomes tax deductable!! Or at least thats what I was told...

Re: Whats the price for your church
Ours is $700. It includes pre-cana, organist and singer. The worst part is that I'm not using thier priest, their organist or their singer and I still have to pay that that $700.
Oh yeah, it's a DONATION too. I can't believe they can get away with that.
