As a Wedding Planner in Poland I’m organizing weddings ceremonies and weddings receptions for many years, therefore I am not surprised that priests charge for the sacraments. It is often a problem for a future bride and groom that the so-called "Pay what you will" does not work in many parishes and priests present a definite price list to fiancés. Unfortunately, "wedding-related services" often have fixed prices which are often exorbitant. It is also true that in some parishes, priests do not actually require payment, and the offering is absolutely voluntary. Therefore, it is difficult to determine what is the cost of church wedding in Poland.
In the situation that prices are available, they range from 800 zloty to even 3000 zloty. It all depends on the parish and, in most of the cases, whether the parish is in a small or a big city. The average amounts I usually came across are:
- 800 zloty for mass (in historic churches in bigger cities 1000 - 2000 zloty for example as the church wedding in Krakow)
- 200 - 350 zloty for an organist and another 150 zloty for a ecclesial.
Furthermore, it happens on many occasions, that you must pay for banns of marriage which are valid only for 6 months. Price range from 50 to 200 złoty. It is worth emphasizing that prior to the conclusion church wedding, you should also take a premarital course. And although the fees are individual and dependent on the parish, when organizing a wedding ceremony and a wedding reception, one should expect that, for example, for a wedding in the Warsaw Old Town, you can pay about 3000 zloty, for a wedding in Krakow, approx. 2000 zloty, and for wedding in Gdansk and wedding in Wroclaw - 1500 złoty. Sometimes, however differently, and even in those cities you can meet up with lower pricing proposals.
And how much does a civil marriage in Poland cost?
By opting for a civil wedding in Poland, a great advantage is the unification of costs, which in practice means that they are the same amounts, regardless of the Civil Registry Office. A fixed stamp duty is charged for drawing up a marriage certificate - its cost is 84 złoty.
In some cases (eg after a divorce), abridged copy of certificates or documents will be needed - their cost is 22 złoty. If the fiancés are not keen on waiting for the civil marriage, which usually takes a month since documents are completed, they can pay the accelerating ceremony a fee of 39 PLN. Polish citizens, who plan to get married outside of Poland are obliged do settle Special fees in amount of 38 złoty.
The additional fee is also associated with a civil wedding outdoors - 1000 złoty. If during the wedding the wedding couple wishes that the ceremony should be accompanied by music, an additional cost of about 300 - 2000 złoty should be borne.
At international marriages, there are also costs associated with the translation of documents and the engagement of a sworn translator during the wedding ceremony.

Or maybe you're planning a symbolic wedding and wondering how much it costs?
The cheapest wedding turns out to be a symbolic wedding in Poland. In this case, you do not have to pay any mandatory or official fees. The only real cost is to pay for the celebrant, the master of the ceremony, who will preside over a wedding. However, in case of such events, it can be eg. a family member or a friend, and therefore, the costs associated with the organization of the symbolic wedding in Poland can be reduced to a minimum.
