Cost
A God Loves Marriage Experience requires a $100 per couple application fee to reserve your spot. We offer secure payment online when applying to attend our experience with the use of your credit/debit card or PayPal account. Payment also can be made using our offline application and your personal check. Please visit our Apply Now page to download, complete, and mail an offline application form and check.
The actual cost of experiences vary based on location. And “destination” experiences typically offer more amenities, therefore have a higher cost. Lutheran Marriage Encounter pays these costs to the venues and caterers at the end of each experience using funds received as donations.
During your experience the actual cost (in addition to the $100 application fee) for your specific experience will be explained. You will then be given the opportunity to donate the actual cost per couple for your experience to help Lutheran Marriage Encounter pay the venue/caterer expenses for the experience. Any contribution you can make to help us cover these costs is entirely voluntary, and we appreciate any donation you can make to this ministry.
Financial assistance is available for those in need. Money is often a trigger for strong feelings. Couples can feel anxiety, doubt, fear, and even anger over finances. If you experience any of these feelings when considering the cost of this experience, please don’t let that stop you from attending. Please inquire about financial assistance by contacting us prior to applying.
REFUNDS
The $100 application fee per couple for your experience is refundable if you cancel on or before the deadline shown for each experience. Refund requests received after the refund deadline date shown on each experience’s page cannot be accommodated.
