We currently charge $200 for all weddings that take place within 25 miles of Mitchell International Airport.

 

For weddings further the 25 miles there will be a $0.40 per mile charge to cover the added expense to the ministers. An example would be to West bend. The total cost would be $206.40 ( 200 for the ceremony +6.40 for traveling 12 miles over 25.

 

If your wedding is further then 60 miles a one or more night hotel charge may apply. The Hotel will be a 2 or 3 star rating and will be booked at the fairest priced hotel available. A good example of this would be a wedding held at the state capital in Madison. The total cost of the wedding ceremony would be $288.00 (200 for the ceremony +65 for the days inn hotel+$23 for travel past 25 miles)

 

Who determines the distance to the wedding?

 

          The distance will be determined by the minister using mapping software (map quest, streets and trips; Google map; Yahoo maps, etc). He will then consult with the couples to see if his math is agreeable with their math. This fee is not designed to be a money making venture on our parts it is simply to defray the additional gas and wear and tear on our cars that is not already factored into the ceremony fee.

 

How is the Price of the hotel calculated?

 

          The minister upon booking will start to find a hotel that is available and within a reasonable distance to the ceremony site and of the right quality (2-3 star). The hotel will be booked through the companies websites and all available discounts (AAA, Hotel reward programs, promotional pricing) will be taken. Once a hotel is booked the minister will contact the couple with what this fee will be. There are ministers out there who insist on staying in the most expensive Hotels and need to stay longer then what seems necessary.  We will only stay the bare minimum necessary for us to be available for your big day and we will get the cheapest room possible.

 

How is the number of night in a hotel calculated?

 

          It is simply based on distance and what the minister is in town for. If you are getting married for example in Madison with a rehearsal then the minister would stay just one night. If your celebration is in Superior with a rehearsal then a three night stay might be in order. This is something that will be worked out on a case be case basis.
