What is the average price for all vendors combined; such as Videographer, photographer, DJ, Limos, and flowers? We are on the search for our venue and have come across ones that contain package deals and others where you need to find your own vendors. After getting quotes from the venues I'd like to get an idea what an average cost would be to add onto the price so we can figure out our budget. I have talked to a couple vendors but nothing crazy yet. We are looking at having our wedding in end of 2015 or Spring of 2016. Thank you!

Re: Vendor Prices
I've heard your venue is usually 40-50% of your total wedding budget. Not sure if that's true for Long Island given our venues are open bar and tend to cost more $ but it's the standard I've been reading in magazines, planners, etc.

Vendor Prices - Long Island Weddings
2014er crashing...
I haven't tallied everything yet, but I'm seeing my venue being close to 60-70% of our total budget. I've bargain hunted just about everything but my gown. I had to splurge somewhere.

Vendor Prices - Long Island Weddings
I booked an all inclusive package bc it appears to save so much. from what I researched briefly before deciding to def go with all incisive was photo/ video $3k-$4k photo only-$1k(low res cd only boo album boo prints) to $2k dj. $1k-1500 (1 man four hours no mc ) limo $1k ( I have a big bridal party so I needed like 3 limos or one bus! oh and that's only pick up drop off! $1500-$2k for 3hrs) flowers- only priced bouquets and all that stuff out....21 pieces $500-$800 I figured $8k min to $12k max for all of them....
I'm paying just over $18k for 175 people but I get 1 8 pass limo, dj, photo, video, and 10 centerpieces. only extra stuff I need is limo and 10 more centerpieces.
hope this helped!
