Every marriage – regardless of condition – can use an occasional boost and this is exactly what RYM accomplishes.

FEES
- Deposit
$2,500 is due at the time of booking the conference. The entire deposit is applied toward advance ticket purchasing (see below). - Advance Ticket Purchase
Host agrees to purchase 400 tickets (200 couples) at $44.50 each to sell to their congregation/community. This advance purchase of 400 tickets is without possibility of refund or exchange of any kind (host is guaranteeing a minimum of 200 couples). Additional tickets may be purchased on consignment from MFP for $30.00 (host makes $14.50 per ticket after the initial 400—assuming host sells for $44.50).$17,800 ($44.50 per ticket x 400 minimum)

- Reimburse Travel Expenses
Host is responsible for 3 flights, 3 hotel rooms, 2 car rentals, and meals.
MISCELLANEOUS
- You have the freedom to charge whatever you want. We recommend $89 per couple, although it would not be unreasonable to raise the price to cover all your costs (other similar marriage conferences are more expensive as they tend to range from $149/couple to $299/couple).
- Some groups share ticket sale commitment with other churches (i.e., four churches each committing to 50 couples/100 tickets). MFP requires one church to sign the contract.
MARKETING
(MFP/HomeWord) provides host church material to help promote event including editable and printable promotion pieces as well as print and web-quality graphics.
- MFP/HomeWord Provides Supplemental Support: MFP will do one E-blast to the local area as well as occasional mentions on Facebook and Twitter.
- Local Churches: The host is asked to utilize their network of relationships with other local Christian leaders. We recommend connecting with at least 20 churches in the community.
RESOURCE INFORMATION
(MFP/HomeWord) will sell resources at the event and requires the help of two volunteers to provide help at the breaks.
