short-notice cancellations.

each month's cumuluative discount will be applied to the 1st
session of the following month

Do not let money be the primary reason you choose your Rabbi.
Particularly in these difficult times--we can ALWAYS work something out.
Ceremony: Standard fees: sliding scale, $1000-$3000
Decision of fee is left completely up to the couple within above guidelines.
I handle wedding fees this way because of the vast difference in
financial realities for each couple and the scope of each wedding.
One guideline couples often use is 7.5% of the wedding's cost
(e.g. $15,000 total wedding cost = $1125 Clergy fee)
Discounted fees can be discussed for those in financial need--click here for info.
