Pricing for your wedding ceremony varies
according to several factors:
size & complexity of wedding
rehearsal logistics
ceremony location and travel requirements
which clergy or officiant is acquired
special requests
What you get for your money
personal service from a legitimate, ordained,
credentialed minister accountable to a congregation
a backup pool of clergy and officiants if you are not satisfied
with your minister for any reason
a printed customized wedding ceremony for ideas and selection
for your ceremony
your marriage certificate mailed to the proper authorities
a copy of the certificate mailed to you
preliminary and ongoing consultation about any aspect of your
ceremony
Our promise that you will be pleased with our services
Our prices range from $50 to $500, with the
average wedding priced at $350.
Your clergy person can give you an exact price
depending on your individual circumstances. Some of our clergy offer
discounts to active duty military or people in special situations.
Most clergy offer a discount for basic ceremonies where rehearsal
attendance on their part is not required.
To give two examples: a $50 wedding can be
performed in our office during weekday office hours with only a
preliminary phone call and minimal paper work for couples in special
circumstances. A $500 wedding includes initial consultation,
ceremony component selection consultation, consultation with your
other wedding vendors, full rehearsal, travel to and from the
rehearsal, travel to and from the ceremony, writing new custom
prayers or rituals, running interference with pesky relatives,
etcetera.
