So my original plan of having a "friend of a friend" be the officiant has fallen through- and with less than 3 months until my wedding, I am freaking out.  I have spoken with a few officiants I found online and the cheapest quote was $600!  Does anyone have have any suggestions for budget friendly officiants in the Long Branch area?  Any help would be greatly appriciated.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi!  Fr. Matthew Martin lives in Freehold and his fee is $400.  He is so nice and will accommodate whatever type of service you wish.  He does between 40-60 weddings a year and will travel.  Good luck!

    I am using Rev Kenneth Reihl and he is really sweet (he does both spiritual and religious ceremonies).  Seems very organized and has been working with us with any of our requests.  He is even saving us money by doing the rehearsal the day of the wedding instead of the day before (so no charge for rehearsing) and is going to get to the ceremony site at 3 (for a 4:30 ceremony) to do the rehearsal.  He is charging $375.  I thought the prices for officiants were ridiculous too.  Here is his info.
