Would You Pay Extra For Premartial Counseling? Prepare/enrich Premartial Program

Pretty sure this is a no brainer, but our officiant is $525 for her services (rehearsal, ceremony, personalized ceremony and "love letters") but is $775 for all of that plus 6 sessions with her to complete something called the Prepare/Enrich Premarital Program.

Pretty sure this is a no brainer, but our officiant is $525 for her services (rehearsal, ceremony, personalized ceremony and "love letters") but is $775 for all of that plus 6 sessions with her to complete something called the Prepare/Enrich Premarital Program. The only reason I am kind of hesitant about it is because I don't know anything about it (I haven't heard of it at all) and since our wedding is less than 2 months away I'm not sure if 6 weeks will be cutting it too close. How many of you all did some sort of premarital counseling and do you think spending the extra money is worth it? Again, it might seem like a no brainer but as some of you know I'm very behind with this aspect of my planning.

Her website does specific the package for $525 is the most popular.

    We will be together about 10yrs on our wedding day and have lived together for the past four. We spent the additional money on prepare enrich and I found it very enlightening! No one knows someone 100%, as much as we try. 'Aybe ask for a 'light version' for four sessions. If so she may ask which four categories you wish to focus on. I guess I don't think living together rules out unspoken disagreements or points of clarification. I'm also VERY pro counseling, so there's that.

    Also the price difference seems so small for 6 sessions - I think it's a steal we paid about $850 for her services plus counseling. And so far it was worth every penny!

    My fiance are paying $40 a time when we see our premarital counselor. Yes, it will add up to be a lot of money, but the time spent talking and going over things is already so useful to us. I am under thr part where everyone should do premarital counseling.

    Personally, I wouldn’t spend the extra money. Look up some of the topics discussed at premarital counseling like finances, holidays, children, etc. and have a conversation with your FH about it.
