Seeking affordable Photo & DJ for winter wedding (looking from Boston!)

Hi ladies,

I've been researching different photographers and DJs online, and have been able to get information from some of them via e-mail. Ideally, I'd like to go in and meet with potential vendors in person to discuss specific pricing options; however I live in Boston currently! I'm hoping some of you could forward me some pricing information that you've received for photographers and DJS that you might recommend.

I'd love to stick to a budget of around $2500 for basic photography - including two photographers if possible, a CD/DVD with rights to all photos, and an engagement session (I'm planning to print pictures myself and make my own albums, and am not looking for too many extras). I'm also seeking a basic DJ package around $1000-1500, though the one add-on I definitely want to include is a photobooth for my guests!

Does anyone have any recommendations and/or prices that they could share with me? Also for any brides-to-be who are having their weddings during the off-season - have you found that there's room to negotiate prices for a winter wedding?

Thanks for your help!

For DJ I recommend finer touch entertainment. We met with them on Friday and loved them. The owner Harold offered to meet us on Sat/Sun if we needed and his prices will fit in your budget.

I can't help with the photographer or florist but I can say you can definitely negotiate for a winter wedding. I am looking at the weekend before you and for the Saturday night many places gave us the Friday night price without even asking. If we book the Friday night, the places we are considering came down on price and threw in some extras for the Friday night. I got some quotes that I was very happy with for the Friday night so it's all about making a decision now!
