Fair Fees Policy

You may have come to this page because you are wondering how we arrive at our charges.

We have tried our best to make our fees as reasonable as possible.  This is not easy.  We have based this on a number of different criteria. 

1. We did not want to be exorbitant in what we charge, but rather to set rates that were considered to be as fair and reasonable as possible.  As stands, we are the only genuine bible believing organization of ministers that publicly has been set up to offer Christian ceremonies outside the walls of a church building.  There are a number of other ministers providing this service to the public, but they are not bible believing. We believe it is important for you to have a bible believing minister conduct your ceremony so that YOU can have the confidence that not only the minister actually believes in what they are saying but also when they pronounce the blessing over you they mean with conviction from their heart what they are saying as well.
2. Our fees are much lower in comparison to both local authorities and the number of other ministers as described in point 1 above.  The bible tells us that the worker deserves his/her wages and we believe this is right.  Most mainstream Christian ordained clergy either are in receipt of a stipend, salary, or some other form of financial support to enable them to take care themselves and their families.
3. Before we can recommend a minister in your area to perform your requested ceremony, we first must have confidence in them ourselves and they must first be able to pass our own internal stringent criteria to be with us.  Clergy that are with us also have to perform normal daily parish duties, which, often take up much of their precious time.  It is only right, therefore, that they should be recompensed with an appropriate fee commensurate to their chosen vocation.  This is already normal with funerals and the rates reflect this.   The fees that we charge for each ceremony therefore reflect the amount of time in preparation as well as the time to perform the ceremony itself.

We will always try to help in exceptional circumstances, and we will always encourage you to join and be part of a bible believing church.  Notwithstanding, we do not judge anyone and try to make ourselves available as best as we can to everyone.

If you would like further information on any of our ceremonies, then please give us a call and we will be pleased to help you.
