Officiate Prices

We just booked our barn wedding in Viroqua and talked to a family friend to officiate. We told him to let us know a price and he responded, "as far as a price goes I let the couple determine what's good". I guess I'm not sure what the going rate is for this role. Since it is a wedding that will require a hotel for him do we just pay for his room and then some?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Officiate Prices

  • I would pay for his hotel for the night and pay him a fee. Prices vary, best s to google for different officiants and see what they charge. My friend found one online and her fees were hotel rooms and 75 if it was more than 1 1/2 hr drive from where she lived. If it was local, within 1 1/2 hr drive it was 50. My officiant will be a hotel stay and around 350, that is because it would require a hotel stay for him.
