Personal q. ($$/finance) about your vendor budget - How much did you spend?

Hello all,

I hope it's not a faux pas to ask this, but I am a newly engaged bride and I was wondering -- how much did you past brides spend on all the main vendors you used?

For example:

Photo
Flowers
Limo
Video
DJ
Planner
Hair & Makeup

You don't need to tell me what you spent on each particular thing, just how much for all of these things together (approx). I know a lot of the times it's based on a % of what your hall costs, but I don't know if I am going to follow that equation. Basically I am trying to find out if I am over paying for things!!!

Thanks and I'd love any kind of ball park feedback!!!!

Hello all,

We spent:

Photo -we spent $3500 (it depends on how much is included in your package too)
Flowers-$2500 (we had 10 high CPs, one bride boq, 2 MOH bo-ks, 1 BM boq, 5 corsages for moms, aunts; 3 bouts; free rose petals and free flowers on passed hors' douevres; flowers for gazebo and card table)-it depends on how much you are getting
Limo- $850- only to and fro RH plus a shuttle bus for guests to and fro RH
Video- $1500
DJ and MC- $2000
Planner-didn't use one!
Hair & Makeup- $250 for me, hair- $75 each BM, makeup- $100 each BM

We got great deals on our limos and video (we think) lol. The prices we paid were much less than other quote we got when we were shopping around!
