A priest does not receive payment for administering a service or sacrament; salvation is not only for the rich. It is recommended, however, that a donation called a "stipend" be given if it is within the means of the those who have requested the service or sacrament. While a priest is given an allowance to meet his needs, stipends allow the priest to have a supplement to their set income.
You can usually call the local priory and ask the secretary what the recommended stipend is for a specific service or sacrament in your region. If you cannot afford a stipend, this should not affect the priest's willingness to provide the service or sacrament requested.
A Priest will do it for free, it's his job.The bigger question is why do you require a priest? Listen to Him in His advice for marriage. A $50 dollar donation would be appropiate.His care is priceless...MASTER-CARD??I don't know...Best wishes..Jim.
In all wedding ceremonies not just Catholic weddings the priest, father, pastor, and etc. Is paid for services any where from $75 or higher. Traditionally the Best-man pays for this in a wedding, however traditions are not always followed.
remember, priests don't get paid, they only get money from the public, so be generous, we normally pay him £20 for announcing our grannies name at her anniversary
nothing it is done by will
200.00 ?
$12 an hour
Traditionally most of the wedding cost (ceremony and reception) are paid by the bride's family. In modern times this is not expected.
A justice of the peace does get paid. They often work as officiants for wedding ceremonies and can make a couple of hundred dollars per ceremony.
According to The Wedding Report (focused on statistics in the Wedding Industry), wedding couples in 2008 paid anywhere from $245 to $847 for wedding musicians. I don't know whether this includes JUST the ceremony and reception or everything thrown in, like the cocktail hour, dancing etc. In Cincinnati, the 'going rate' for a wedding pianist to play at your ceremony is anywhere from $150 to $280.Make sure this includes the pianist's attendance at your wedding rehearsal! Extras probably include asking the pianist to accompany for a vocal/instrumental artist at your wedding; or staying later to play for the reception or cocktail hour.Hope this helps!
The estimated cost of the wedding was reportedly £20 million. This took into account the cost of the church, vehicles, security etc - AND - lost revenue to businesses due to people taking time off work to either go to London to see the couple in person - or watch the ceremony on TV. The wedding itself was paid for by the Middleton family and the Queen - while the security and transport were paid for by the treasury.
Protocol is that you can take almost all flowers from the church to the Wedding Reception, but you should leave at least one arrangement for the church. Generally most weddings are on a Saturday so it's nice to have a floral arrangement left for Sunday Services. However, in todays modern society once the Minister is paid the Bride and Groom can take all the flowers from the church to the Wedding Reception.
No, there are no websites out there that offer free weddings. Nothing in life is actually free. However, there ARE websites that will help you plan low-cost weddings. Alternatively, you could simply not have a ceremony and just get registered - technically, that's a wedding already!
It all depends on their contract, it will be stated therein.
I believe that the guy pays for the engagement dinner I know my ex in-laws paid for the rehersal dinner prior to the wedding My parents paid for the wedding meal and I paid for everything else
Good wedding planners should be able to meet the needs of their clients no matter what the theme of the wedding is. That is what they get paid for. You can look for wedding planners in your phone book and phone (let your fingers do the walking) to see if they can handle your request of a Moroccan theme wedding.
You should not have to ask a client to reimburse you for traveling expenses since you planned the wedding out of town and if you are a wedding planner then send the client a bill and if the bill is not paid within a month send another one. If the last bill sent is not paid then put it into a Collection Agencies hands. If you are not a wedding planner and did this on the side you can do the same thing, but go to small debts court.
We paid our pastor (who had done our pre-marital counseling as well, which was free because we are both members of his church) after our ceremony. We gave the money and the responsibility to a groomsman with instructions to give it to the pastor after the wedding when it seemed like a calm moment. A friend of mine told me that she paid hers at the rehersal dinner because she did not want him to think they weren't going to pay (as it was an optional honorarium, and not required.) I paid $100, and she paid $250. We're not exactly sure what the appropriate etiquette is. Although my logic was that it was a gift, and was given in thanks for the job he did after all was said and done.
Perhaps you should ask someone like a pastor or even friends of yours that may be getting married. Some churches have wedding vows that are customary.
