paying for ministers hotel room

I woudn't pay it, but I also wouldn't require her to be there for the rehearsal. I charge extra for my rehearsals because they are just as time consuming as the ceremony itself, but a vast majority of the time, my couples don't choose to do one.

Whatever the situation, if you didn't agree to a fee at the beginning, you shouldn't agree to it now.

I wouldn't pay for a hotel, instead I might offer to pay for gas if she has to drive the 3 hours and perhaps a small gift. Did you sign a contract? If it's not in the contract, you are not required to pay.

I'm assuming you are paying this person and you have a contract?

We are paying her and for the survey thing we had to do. There is no contract, just the emails back and forth about everything.

We agreed on the cost upfront, including an additional fee for rehearsal and travel to rehearsal.

I would not pay it.

Then whatever costs there are should have been agreed on first. If worse comes to worse, ask her to put together a processional cue sheet and have your banquet manager run the rehearsal.

Idk, i wouldnt pay for it. i think they should have talked traveling expenses such as gas and lodging before, this is almost last minute

thats just my opinion
