How much does it cost to get married in a small village church?

Question

We want to get married in the church in the village where I grew up. Any ideas on a rough cost?

Answer 1

Most small parish churches dont have a set fee, but will ask for a donation to the church. i think most people pay around about £200 towards this, but the minister of the church will be able to tell you

Answer 2

Congratulations on you engagement!

I would ask the village priest he would know or he would know who to talk to so you can receive the right answer the first time.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Our local church charges £800 and for the bells its another £85. If you are a member of the church its free.

Answer 4

I dont think the size of the Church matters when it comes to fee paying. I am getting married next June and the Church fee is £300. If we want the organist its more and bells more also.

Ours is not till next June so we have time to think about what we want.

Good luck with yours whenever it is.

Answer 5

it shouldn't 'cost' anything. usually churches just ask for a donation to the church. every church is different though, so you'd have to ask your priest/pastor how much a typical donation is. for my church, the priest told us $400, so that 's how much we gave.

Answer 6

We are getting married in village about 15 mins away from us. The church is costing £600.
