We have booked Julie Laudicina (www.julielaudicina.com). She charges $700 for a completely custom ceremony, as do most other officiants. If you want something by-the-book, it's usually about $400-450.
Hope it helped!
PS we also liked Tulis McCall (www.tulismccall.com)
Are you looking for any particular denomination, or specifically non-denominational? We're using Rabbi Roger Ross, who's completely customizing a traditional Jewish ceremony to make it fit with what we want (no Hebrew, no mention of God). He's expensive though--$900.
Thanks! This is super helpful. I've talked to a few today and that seems consistent with those price ranges. I don't really want anything very custom.. just the simple bare bones ceremony.
I tried Julie Laudicina.. was referred to her by another and she's booked...
Non-denominational.
Do you have to invite your officiant to your reception too?
Thanks everyone!
HIlda Gieco is our officiant, and she runs at $450. She is a beautiful person to boot.
Your welcome. You're going to love her. She has great ideas, and is so serene. My co-worker used her for her wedding and loved her.
Any other recommendations?
I really want to keep this under $500 and as long as it's not religious I really don't care if it's a judge, reverend or priest, etc. As long as they are willing to do a non religious ceremony, some customization. And a sense of humor would be great!
thanks again, we're going with hilda geico!
@gerbera, hilda was $450 and can customize/do non religious http://www.celestialweddings.net/
I'm a wedding officiant / celebrant based out of NJ, and serving NYC. My custom ceremonies begin at $425, depending on a few factors. You can find out more about me on my website (http://www.Eclectic-Unions.com) or via WeddingbeePRO where I used to post, too.
PS: It's nice, but absolutely not required to invite your officiant to the reception. They probably won't attend.
Hi! We are going with Rev. Jim Covington. Neither of us is really identifies with any religion particular, but he offers a non-denominational ceremony, which works well for us. He also officiated at my friend's wedding, and I believe Mrs. Butterfly's wedding as well. His rate when we contacted him was $425.

Good luck!
You can find amazing (and reviewed by peers) officiants here at the wedding bee or wedding wire through the vendors section. The prices can range from $300 to $750.
I would defintiely recommend you to contact a few of them and find which one can offer you the service that is as amazing and unique as you are for a price you can afford.
I am a wedding officiant here in New York City and my rate is usually from $300 - $450 dollars. You can check me on http://www.knotbythesea.com

Anyone got any recommendations on officiants?
We want a pretty simple / basic ceremony. How much are officiants generally?
Thanks!
