Really depends on who you book with and what you want.

Exactly. There's a huge range for everything, but if you want a very rough estimate I'd say:

Photographer - basic photo/video would be $3500

Bridal party gifts - $100/pp (more or less if you're doing gift baskets, tanning, jewelry, etc.)

Rehearsal dinner - depends on your bridal party size. $1000?

DJ - basic $1800 up to 4 or 5k

Flowers - 2-3k

Cars - I didn't price any of these, sorry.

Keep in mind this is all 100% variable depending on what you want. Could be a lot more or a lot less.




This was a very good estimate I think. I've done alot of research and find this to match what I've looked at. You can make most things work for your budget though--whatever it is. Also remember at the time of your wedding you're going to need to tip the vendors.

Maitre D (I read anywhere from $2-$5/per guest)
Bridal Attendant(s)
Bar Tenders (ours is included in the price though)
Limos/Drivers
Band/DJ
Photographer(s)
Videographer(s)
Hair
Makeup

There are others, and I'm not sure about how much yet, but keep in mind it'll really add up.



My RH included a $3/per guest tip for the maitre d. I was also told to tip $50-$100 for your bridal attendant. I'm not up to the other vendors yet!
