Hello and welcome!
Congrats on your engagement

Everyone is paying a different price on those type of things. Some want bigger packages than others.
I think ball park figures are (and anyone correct me if I'm wrong)

DJ: estimate about $2000 to $2500
Florist: estimate about $2000 - all depends on what you get - if you don't get centerpieces it's much less
Photographer - not sure - I got a great package deal that includes photographer and photos, video and limo so I don't know what one would pay for each separately.

When I get my a55 in gear and start booking things I will let you know...

I am such a slacker! I am scared to start for fear of too much stress!!

Who wants to be my wedding planner?? Anyone? Anyone?? Since I am such a snob I am sure daddy will pay top dollar....J/K

Re: pricing ??s

I'm paying $1,000 for my DJ
dress was $450 on sale plus tax
tiara was around $60 at Patchogue Fantasyland
invites that I want are $58.90 per 100 plus all the extra stuff..but still pretty cheap
not doing favors...considering a donation or baking cookies in a wedding shape....but maybe not..depends on money....
BM gifts...thinking of making jewelry for them and I have this great idea for a mirror with pretty pressed flowers around it....maybe a bathrobe if it's not too much money...but for my MOH (my sis) and my grandma--I'm learning to knit or crochet from FMIL and making them afghans...and if I have time..one for my mom and step mom.

Re: pricing ??s

My DJ isn't one of these DJ companies..he's an independent guy who works out of his house..he's been a DJ for 26 years. He did my best friends' wedding 6 years ago and she recommended him highly...we LOVED him...very personable and just a fun guy to talk to. I have his info if you'd like...he works by word of mouth...doesn't advertise much...in Port Jefferson Station

Re: pricing ??s

The dress I really like is $5500
The flowers are about $8,000-10,000
Photo is $8000
Video is $3400

I am having a band, not a dj so I am not sure.

Obviously, for all of these things, there is a huge price range.

I could have taken smaller packages as well as more deluxe pkgs with each vendor. So it truly can vary.
