Affordable rates designed to keep your costs within your budget
One of the realities couples face when planning a wedding is the cost. Below are the various fees Mike charges for his services. Just two years ago, Mike had to pay for his own daughter's wedding. Thus he knows the importance of keeping his rates fair and affordable, and hopes you will find his prices to be exactly that. The total fee is calculated from the elements below:
BASE
SERVICE FEE
ROUND-TRIP MILEAGE FEE​
LONG DRIVE*
(* if > 2 hrs)
Base Service Fee = $275 [This is the charge for creating the wedding script and actually performing the wedding ceremony]
Mileage Fee (round-trip from Rosemount, MN) = $50 for each 100 miles [up to 100 miles is $50, 101-200 miles is $100, etc.]
The following two fees only apply in special situations...
**Long Drive Fee (only if the round-trip drive from Rosemount, MN is greater than 2 hours) = $50 for each hour above two hours
​​​​
**Rehearsal Fee (only if a rehearsal is requested) = $175 + the mileage fee + long drive fee
Note: If you choose to have Mike come to a rehearsal, because of the extra time, driving, and lost opportunities to perform additional wedding ceremonies during that rehearsal time, he charges this rehearsal fee to cover his costs.
