In short a "simple" wedding with one rehearsal is $175.00 addition rehearsals with soloists instrumentalists are $25 each. Funerals $100.00. This fee structure is in my contract with the church; however, I can't tell you how many funerals I've gotten stiffed with and the pastor just says that he gets stiffed more often than not. He says he has a hard time putting his hand out for cash when someone's grieving. Personally, I'd rather not do funerals or weddings -- too much hassle.
