Is it too much to ask not to have to fork over a ton of money for a great JP?

  JP's are a lot cheaper than Jewish clergy, which run $600 - $1200 in this area, so be thankful for that

  I guess we got lucky...$180 for the service, (not coming to the rehersal).  Her price would be about $50 more if we had her at the rehersal.  She's writing 'semi-custom' vows though and super nice--lives in Keene, but travels all over the state.  Her name is Jane Rokes.  We're meeting with her again over the summer at her home.

  We're using Dan Griffiths. He is $275 he does not go to the RD or stay for the reception. He has a packet to choose 12 items for the ceremony. He'll work with you to put them in the right order and personalize it. He almost had the 2 of us in tears in a Dunkin Donuts lol.

  I spoke with him he sounded good. I saw a quick video on his website, but he would charge an extra 100 for where our wedding is. It's hard to find someone that has reviews or testimonails up in the lakes region.
