Need help! Just starting to plan - need price quotes please!

I just booked the reception at the Tall Grass Country Club! So excited!
Now I'm about to start researching photographers, dj's, limos, florists, etc. I'm on a tight budget so any referrals/suggestions on vendors is much appreciated. If you can list the vendors you use/used and the price and what it includes, that would be great!
Thanks for your help in advance!

I know Kittethestray just got married at Tall Grass. I don't remember what vendors she used, but you could FM her and ask.

I did a lot of shopping around. If you are on a tight budget, here are my suggestions of who to check out (and they are all LIW vendors I think):

DJ: VJ Entertainment. He gave me the best price for the works. He's in West Islip and he's really nice.
Photography: Artisan. You get a lot for what you pay for with him, he's willing to work in your budget and his quality is really good. He's not a factory either so you won't be just a number over there. In all honesty, I went with a more expensive photographer and I saw Artisan in action this weekend and I was very impressed...I was a litte pissy the next day that I didn't listen to FH b/c he wanted him.
Flowers: Burton's gave me the best price. It's in Melville.

HTH Good luck and have fun!

Thanks, Betsy! Yes, I just got married at Tall Grass about 3 weeks ago and it was AMAZING, Tall Grass went SO above and beyond I can't recommend them enough...

Honestly, I saved money by booking at Tall Grass so I was able to afford the vendors I wanted. I used Port Jefferson Florist for my flowers (people are STILL commenting on my centerpieces they were so cool!) Tommy's Tunes was my DJ (they were SO GOOD and SO PROFESSIONAL!) Pat from Golden Moments Films for video (he was a DREAM to work with!) and I wouldn't recommend my photographer (he retired anyway), I got married AT Tall Grass so I didn’t bother with limos.

ETA - Mike McNamara was my officiant, he was my FAVORITE!! People laughed, they cried, it was PERFECT!! FM me for his contact info - he's so gooooood!!!!!

Thank you so much girls!
I'm new at this so I don't know what FM stands for.
I'd love to hear more about your wedding kittythestray.

I'm a budget bride myself, simply because I went with a Saturday night wedding- EEEK!

I got Timexposures for photo/video. They're a vendor on here.

I got Vinny at High Voltage Sounds (another LIW vendor), very very affordable!

Flowers - flowersbyburton.com....you get any flower you want for one price!

Limo- Primo Limo, they're a vendor on here. I only got one limo though. Very very affordable- best prices I found!!
