So we just hit the 2 month mark (exciting!) and I was trying to figure out when all the final payments are due and I am a little bit confused. When am I supposed to pay the church fee & organist fee? They haven't said anything but now I'm not sure if I am supposed to mail a check before the wedding or pay the day of? What has everyone else done?? Help!

    I think it depends on the Parish but my Priest said that I had to pay for both at the rehersal.

    We paid at one of the final meetings with the priest ... but that was because my mom gave me a check so I just gave it to the priest. He never asked me to bring it that specific day.

    Call and ask if you are unsure. I imagine they'll tell you, but if you want to get it paid for and over with then ask if you can bring it by there soon.

    We paid at our last meeting since my dad wanted to get it out of the way.

    I've always heard you don't have to pay until the day/night of the rehearsal..unless you wanted to pay earlier than that. We plan on paying the night of our rehearsal.

    Um... why not contact the church to find out?  That's what I would do.  It's like coming on here going, "Hey, when do I pay the band?"

    Um... I will obviously call the church and find out, I was just seeing what other people have done. Thanks to those of you who gave me helpful answers.

    Every church is different, so what other people have done, isn't really relevant.
