Bishops and other leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are never paid for their service. They are expected to work regular jobs outside of their Church service in order to support their families. For example, my Bishop works full-time in construction during the day, and spends most evenings and weekends doing his Church-related duties.
Leadership positions within the Mormon Church are lay volunteer positions, meaning that no formal training is required and that there is no payment for service.

Can a mormon priest married a nondimentinal couple?
A Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can perform the marriage of a nondenominational couple and will provide the service for free. He might also allow the couple to use the church building free of charge as well, so long as it is not reserved for a church activity. Mormon Bishops can perform marriages either in their own church buildings, in reception centers, homes, or outdoor locations, but not in church buildings of other religions. If you are outside the United States, you will need to be aware that in some nations, Mormon Bishops are not legally authorized to perform a marriage. Check with a Bishop or with local authorities to determine if it is legal. Mormon Priests are typically 16-20 year old boys. While they can perform baptisms, they are not legally able to perform marriages. The title of the man who leads a Mormon congregation is a Bishop, not a Priest. Bishops can legally perform marriages.
