Wedding Fees

ABMorley: Chesterton increased what it charges couple (by £10).

A frequently asked question on the [[Change Ringers]] email list over the years has been - "How much do other towers charge for ringing at weddings?". This table has been compiled to record this information, and other towers are encouraged to add to it. In considering what is reasonable readers may wish to search for "average wedding costs" in google or similar. For instance in 2008 [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2099898/Wedding-costs-soar-to-more-than-and16320,000.html The Telegraph] was reporting an average of £20,000, though this was pre-credit crunch.

At most towers, ringers tend to be paid from around £10 to £20, but it can be significantly more for some towers in London! Some towers also include a donation to the Bell Fund as well as their ringing so they may be higher than the rope fee times the number of Bells. If a tower has a separate tower fund it is a good idea to include a donation to the fund as you can get money to have an inspection on your bells every year.

At most towers, if they say both or after, they may also be able to just do before.

===NOTES:===
* At Harwich, local ringers tend not to take their money, although it is always offered. Visiting ringers are paid £10.
* At Rainhill, St Bart's has a reduced fee, approx 60%, for before or after. Flat rate for weekdays is £150 (£20 per rope).
* At Whitchurch, the Ringers Charge £2 extra per rope for Before and After.
* At Warfield, 8 bells are usually rung, but maybe only 6 if short of people.
* At Churchdown, £60 from the fee goes to the tower fund, the fee for weekday weddings is £200 of which £80 goes to the tower fund.
* At St Clement Danes, the fees are £40 per ringer. With a choice of 6, 8 or ten. Fees are doubled if before and after is required. There is a fee of £40 paid for ringing the bells up before the service if ringing out is required. There is a fee of £40 for arranging the band. And the church gets a fee of £40. The new fees haven't meant a loss of requests for bells.
* At Clerkenwell there is a choice of 6 or 8. £30 per ringer. Fees doubled if ringing in and out is required. Double fee for the ringer ringing up the bells. Plus a tower fee of £30.
* At St Barnabas, Pimlico, London. £30 per ringer plus £30 for ringing up the bells before the service. £30 tower fee.
* At Hemel Hempstead there is a 50% surcharge for weekday weddings

Wedding Fees

2021-11-29T21:01:59Z

ABMorley: /* List by Tower */

A frequently asked question on the [[Change Ringers]] email list over the years has been - "How much do other towers charge for ringing at weddings?". This table has been compiled to record this information, and other towers are encouraged to add to it. In considering what is reasonable readers may wish to search for "average wedding costs" in google or similar. For instance in 2008 [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2099898/Wedding-costs-soar-to-more-than-and16320,000.html The Telegraph] was reporting an average of £20,000, though this was pre-credit crunch.

At most towers, ringers tend to be paid from around £10 to £20, but it can be significantly more for some towers in London! Some towers also include a donation to the Bell Fund as well as their ringing so they may be higher than the rope fee times the number of Bells. If a tower has a separate tower fund it is a good idea to include a donation to the fund as you can get money to have an inspection on your bells every year.

At most towers, if they say both or after, they may also be able to just do before.

===NOTES:===
* At Chesterton, ringers now get £15 each - previously they got £10 on Saturdays and £12 on weekdays. Ringer-up gets a fiver.
* At Harwich, local ringers tend not to take their money, although it is always offered. Visiting ringers are paid £10.
* At Rainhill, St Bart's has a reduced fee, approx 60%, for before or after. Flat rate for weekdays is £150 (£20 per rope).
* At Whitchurch, the Ringers Charge £2 extra per rope for Before and After.
* At Warfield, 8 bells are usually rung, but maybe only 6 if short of people.
* At Churchdown, £60 from the fee goes to the tower fund, the fee for weekday weddings is £200 of which £80 goes to the tower fund.
* At St Clement Danes, the fees are £40 per ringer. With a choice of 6, 8 or ten. Fees are doubled if before and after is required. There is a fee of £40 paid for ringing the bells up before the service if ringing out is required. There is a fee of £40 for arranging the band. And the church gets a fee of £40. The new fees haven't meant a loss of requests for bells.
* At Clerkenwell there is a choice of 6 or 8. £30 per ringer. Fees doubled if ringing in and out is required. Double fee for the ringer ringing up the bells. Plus a tower fee of £30.
St Barnabas, Pimlico, London. £30 per ringer plus £30 for ringing up the bells before the service. £30 tower fee.
* At Hemel Hempstead there is a 50% surcharge for weekday weddings

Wedding Fees

2021-08-21T16:13:10Z

ABMorley: Make table sortable (note: mixed EU and year-only date format still doesn't sort nicely).

A frequently asked question on the [[Change Ringers]] email list over the years has been - "How much do other towers charge for ringing at weddings?". This table has been compiled to record this information, and other towers are encouraged to add to it. In considering what is reasonable readers may wish to search for "average wedding costs" in google or similar. For instance in 2008 [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2099898/Wedding-costs-soar-to-more-than-and16320,000.html The Telegraph] was reporting an average of £20,000, though this was pre-credit crunch.

At most towers, ringers tend to be paid from around £10 to £20, but it can be significantly more for some towers in London! Some towers also include a donation to the Bell Fund as well as their ringing so they may be higher than the rope fee times the number of Bells. If a tower has a separate tower fund it is a good idea to include a donation to the fund as you can get money to have an inspection on your bells every year.

At most towers, if they say both or after, they may also be able to just do before.

===NOTES:===
* At Chesterton, ringers now get £15 each - previously they got £10 on Saturdays and £12 on weekdays. Ringer-up gets a fiver.
* At Harwich, local ringers tend not to take their money, although it is always offered. Visiting ringers are paid £10.
* At Rainhill, St Bart's has a reduced fee, approx 60%, for before or after. Flat rate for weekdays is £150 (£20 per rope).
* At Whitchurch, the Ringers Charge £2 extra per rope for Before and After.
* At Warfield, 8 bells are usually rung, but maybe only 6 if short of people.
* At Churchdown, £60 from the fee goes to the tower fund, the fee for weekday weddings is £200 of which £80 goes to the tower fund.
* At St Clement Danes, the fees are £40 per ringer. With a choice of 6, 8 or ten. Fees are doubled if before and after is required. There is a fee of £40 paid for ringing the bells up before the service if ringing out is required. There is a fee of £40 for arranging the band. And the church gets a fee of £40. The new fees haven't meant a loss of requests for bells.
* At Clerkenwell there is a choice of 6 or 8. £30 per ringer. Fees doubled if ringing in and out is required. Double fee for the ringer ringing up the bells. Plus a tower fee of £30.
St Barnabas, Pimlico, London. £30 per ringer plus £30 for ringing up the bells before the service. £30 tower fee.
* At Hemel Hempstead there is a 50% surcharge for weekday weddings

For instance in 2008 [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2099898/Wedding-costs-soar-to-more-than-and16320,000.html The Telegraph] was reporting an average of £20,000, though this was pre-credit crunch.

At most towers, ringers tend to be paid from around £10 to £20, but it can be significantly more for some towers in London! Some towers also include a donation to the Bell Fund as well as their ringing so they may be higher than the rope fee times the number of Bells. If a tower has a separate tower fund it is a good idea to include a donation to the fund as you can get money to have an inspection on your bells every year.

At most towers, if they say both or after, they may also be able to just do before.

===NOTES:===
* At Chesterton, ringers now get £15 each - previously they got £10 on Saturdays and £12 on weekdays. Ringer-up gets a fiver.
* At Harwich, local ringers tend not to take their money, although it is always offered. Visiting ringers are paid £10.
* At Rainhill, St Bart's has a reduced fee, approx 60%, for before or after. Flat rate for weekdays is £150 (£20 per rope).
* At Whitchurch, the Ringers Charge £2 extra per rope for Before and After.
* At Warfield, 8 bells are usually rung, but maybe only 6 if short of people.
* At Churchdown, £60 from the fee goes to the tower fund, the fee for weekday weddings is £200 of which £80 goes to the tower fund.
* At St Clement Danes, the fees are £40 per ringer. With a choice of 6, 8 or ten. Fees are doubled if before and after is required. There is a fee of £40 paid for ringing the bells up before the service if ringing out is required. There is a fee of £40 for arranging the band. And the church gets a fee of £40. The new fees haven't meant a loss of requests for bells.
* At Clerkenwell there is a choice of 6 or 8. £30 per ringer. Fees doubled if ringing in and out is required. Double fee for the ringer ringing up the bells. Plus a tower fee of £30.
St Barnabas, Pimlico, London. £30 per ringer plus £30 for ringing up the bells before the service. £30 tower fee.
* At Hemel Hempstead there is a 50% surcharge for weekday weddings
