looking for a wedding officiant

Hi, I'm farely new here. I'm getting married 9-1-11 at the Tides and I am looking for a wedding officiant. We want to spend $600 at the most. I've contacted April Beer and she quoted us a little too high. Anyone have a good reccomendation. Thanks!

    If you don't mind could you tell me how much April Beer quoted you at because she's on top our list. Above $600 is a little high for us too.

    </div><div>I second A Beautiful Affair of the Heart. We're using Rev. Louis Conselatore and he's so nice and wonderful to work with so far. We were quoted $475 as well.

    We are using Jessie Blum. She just sent us our ceremony recently and she did an amazing job. She makes both you and your FI do 'homework' and uses the information to write a custom ceremony for you both.

    We're using Jessie Blum as well. We're an interfaith couple and wanted to focus on "us" but still incorporate some traditions as well. She is less than $600.

    This may be a little off beat for you but, My H cousin got ordained online a few years back and we asked him to marry us.  Now that we got our wedding pictures back it is nice to see that the person who married us is someone we know and who will always been in our lives.  Just a thought.

    Mitch the Minister, under $600. He was my favorite because he's funny and laid back.

    Carmela Vuoso Murphy is amazing, and definitely more affordable then the quote you listed.
