We are planning to get married next year. So i've Just been in contact with the priest's helper to arrange a date and have been told it will cost us 700 euro to get married(as far as i know thats just to use the church). Then we give the priest a "donation" then we give the person that helps set /opens up the church a "suggested" donation of 50 euro. Is this the going rate or is the church being greedy? I knew we had to give a donation but didn't realise there was a set price.
