Vendor rates

Hi there,

I am just starting to look at venues and get a sense of what my overall budget should be. I am finding that many places have 'package deals' that include dj, flowers, photography/video etc. My concern is that I will end up settiling for a vendor I don't LOVE for a reduction in cost. I'm going to contact my preferred people, but before I do- can someone please tell me what a good general rate would be for a DJ, Photographer, Videographer, etc.? I know it depends on the different services they have, but a base rate would be a good starting point. We are looking for a party bus and a shuttle after the reception to the hotel for our guests. I will take any help I can get- thank you!!
