How much to pay officiating pastor?


Recommended Posts

Please help . . .what is appropriate amount of money to give to the officiating pastor at a church wedding? This pastor and church have no set fee for this. It's a church wedding, with rehearsal dinner the night before that he attends, wedding attendance about 250. Can you help with this info? Thanks!

I paid $50.00...but I knew mine very well. You gotta make it worth his time.

Call some other churches of the same denomination and ask. The amounts can vary quite a bit.

The pastor of the church we booked charges $500. We're not members of the church, though, so I don't know if that would make a difference. That price includes the premarital counselling, the rehearsal, and the wedding itself.
