Re: Bands/Honeymoon/photo prices

Y ou probably dont want to hear this, butIt really all depends onwhat your looking for..

For bands..how many pieces do you want? cocktail music?

Photo- depends on the package and if you are going to buy albums..

Honeymoon-- where are you looking to go and for how long??

FM me if you details on some of the bands we looked at and photographers.. we havent gotten to the honeymoon part yet!

Re: Bands/Honeymoon/photo prices

$6000-8000

What about honeymoon?

Re: Bands/Honeymoon/photo prices

Bands-anywhere from $4000 and up. Average should be around 5-6K

Photog-could get as cheap as 1500 and I think the average is about $4000 with albums for a full day shoot. I've seen quotes for more than $8000 and up.

Honeymoon-it really depends where you want to go. Mexico can be around $3k. Hawaii could be $6-8K or more. Caribbean all inclusives tend to run around $5K. Europe-that's a whole other story which I don't know.

Good luck and let us know if you need feedback.

Re: Bands/Honeymoon/photo prices

Honestly it all depends on what you are looking for

Bands:
$4-15K (we paying under $5K for a 7 piece band)

Honeymoon:
$3-12K It all depends on where you are going

Photography:
$4-8K depends on the package

Re: Bands/Honeymoon/photo prices

I don't know anything about bands.

Honeymoons have a big range depending on where you go and for how long and the time of year. That being said, it seems like many people are able to keep it under $5000.

Photoghers have a big range also. We are paying around $3800 with all of the albums. (Only one photographer)

To make a budget, try going to The Wedding Channel -- you can make a budget there. You plug in the number of guests and your total budget and it will give you an idea of what you can afford to spend. It is just to get a general idea. I used it mostly for selecting the hall. I didn't want to blow my little budget with just one contract!
