Except for a few "popular wedding churches" in big cities, I've never known of a church that charges anything more than the cost of paying the sexton the extra hours, a nominal charge to cover utilities or the like. Often, those charges will be will be waived if the bride or groom (or the family of either) is a member of the church. Separate arrangements usually have to be made with the organist or other musicians.
But then, I'm also used to churches where it is made
very clear that the wedding is a service of worship, not The Bride (and Groom) Show, and that have very strict rules on flowers, music and the like.
