We are meeting with 2 officiants this weekend. One is charging $450, which includes the rehearsal and the ceremony. The other one is charging is charging $800 for the same thing. How much is too much, and how much do you pay?

Mine is $650. That sounds like A LOT after reading all your posts. She is a minister and lives about 45 minutes from my venue. She is such a sweet lady and we got such a warm vibe from her. No two ceremonies of hers are alike. She has you each separately fill out a 'relationship' questionnaire and then she writes you a personalized ceremony. She also gives you all kinds of documents with examples of vows and readings and explains different rituals performed at ceremonies.

So I guess the $650 includes travel, the rehearsal, and a TOTALLY customized and personalized ceremony.
