I dont think so. Prices for things can vary depending on which vendor you are looking at etc. It all depends on what you are looking for

As a general rule of thumb, typically your RH is about 50% of the total cost of most weddings.

The other 50% is usually broken down something like this:

10% Photographer / Videographer
10% Music (less if DJ)
10% Flowers
10% Attire for Bride (dress, undergarments, hair/makeup, veil, headpiece) & Groom
6% Stationery (invitations, calligraphy, stamps, etc.)
4% Extras

Using those numbers, you should divide up how much money you have to spend, and then use that as a guideline.

Its different for everyone because everyone has a different amount budgeted for their wedding.

Keep in mind that if you are able to cut costs in one area, say Music (by using a DJ instead of a Band) or Attire (a less expensive dress) ... you can spend more in another area, or save it for your 'Extras' category in case things come up down the road that you weren't anticipating.
