Wedding Officiants in Charleston: FAQs
- How much does a wedding officiant cost in South Carolina?
- A brief signing-style ceremony runs about $90 to $150. A personalized ceremony with a consultation and a custom-written script generally costs $150 to $400 depending on the market and how much customization is involved. Rehearsal attendance and travel outside the officiant's home area are typically added on, and bundled packages that include premarital counseling, ceremony music, or photography run $600 and up.
- Who can legally perform a wedding in South Carolina?
- State law limits it to ministers of the Gospel, Jewish rabbis, officers authorized to administer oaths in South Carolina — notaries public among them — and the chief or spiritual leader of a Native American entity recognized by the SC Commission for Minority Affairs. South Carolina does not maintain an officiant registry, so there is nothing to register in advance. Confirm any specific situation with the probate court in the county issuing your license.
