Pastoral fees
The pastor will work with you to plan a wedding ceremony that is the most joyful and meaningful experience it can possibly be and reflects your desires and tastes. While it is customary and most couples choose to give an honorarium which is commensurate with the time invested to the pastor who officiates at your wedding, there is no set pastoral fee for members and regular attendees of New Hope. For those who are not members or regular attendees of New Hope Church at the time the wedding is scheduled, there is a $300 minimum pastoral fee.Fees schedule
