church might be selected for the
ceremony.
Jerry Baumann, pastor at the
Bethal Baptist Church, 4400 N. First
St., said there is a $25 janitorial
charge for anyone using the church.
That fee is fairly common for many of
the churches in Lincoln, he said.
The Indian Hills Community
Church, 100 S. 84 St., which seats
2,000, also has additional costs for
the weddings.
Eileen Graff, secretary at Indian
Hills, said the couple also is required
to attend a pre-marital session, which
costs $30.
The organist is paid $35 and a $25
honorarium usually is given to the
minister, she said.
Choosing the location for the
reception also should be one of the
first things on the planning list.
No rental fee is charged for a
reception room at the Ramada Inn,
2301 N.W. 12 St. However, a minimum
food and or alcohol order of $1,100
must be purchased, said Nona West,
assistant manager for the hotel.
West said the amount is not diffi
cult to reach if the couple plans to
spend $6 for each guest. That amount
would include food and bar, she said.
West said the hotel will set the
tables with china, furnish the punch
bowl and provide servers for the food.
Although the punch bowl is pro
vided, the cake, mints, nuts, cake
knife and server are not.
Berry Wortman, clerk at Special
Moments, 4009 O St., said the cake
knife and server can be purchased for
$30 to $40.
Wortman said the decoration for
the top of the cake is $25.
The wedding cake for 250 guests
will be about $145, said Monica
Plager, cashier at Geier's Bakery,
3865 S St.
The cake should be ordered at
least one month before the wedding,
she said.
It Will
Visit
Mints and nuts for 250 guests cost
$20 at Miller & Paine, 13th & O
streets.
When the time and location of the
ceremony has been settled, the paper
products should be ordered.
Invitations for 250 guests can be
purchased for $150 at Paper Parade,
70th and A Clocktower, said Amy
Klemfz, clerk for Paper Parade.
Printed napkins for that same
guest list would be $34 and 300
Thank You cards would cost $75, she
said.
Many couples personalize their
weddings with flowers. Floral arran
gements, corsages and boutonnieres
for the entire wedding and reception
are about $400, said Theresa DcJong,
manager and owner of Paradise
Floral, 4050 Cornhusker Highway.
Finally, a photographer usually is
selected to capture all the special
moments of the wedding.
Karen Evans, employee for Evans
Studio, 1124 N. Cotner Blvd., said
they can capture those moments for
about $350.
For that price, the photographer
will be on hand for the wedding and
reception, she said, the couple can
choose a variety of poses in different
photo sizes.
Evans said the price includes a
free engagement or bridal sitting. The
studio also will provide a print for the
newspaper announcement.
Evans said couples planning to tie-the-knot
should contact the photo
grapher several months prior to the
wedding. She said June has been
booked for several months.
The list of expenses could go on.
There are many unexpected expenses
that are apt to arise when the couple
plans a wedding.
However, the bride-to-be and the
groom should expect to spend about
$4,000 or more for their dream
wedding.
So if you think you've found "Mr. or
Miss Right," and you feel like a
millionaire, then by all means, make
your wedding dreams come true.
