The church requires a fee to offset lighting, maintenance and other costs. While the ability of the couple to pay in no way determines the services available, the church fees should be kept proportional to other wedding costs. Deposit Fee is $500 (required to HOLD date) Music Minister Fee: $300 for accompanying / $100 for consultation only (duties include: planning music with the couple, playing organ/piano at the rehearsal and wedding and arranging for cantors when requested). Priest Stipend is totally up to the generosity of each couple
