Florist: Brandywine Florists approx $2500

Officiant: Getting Married at our local church. Fees are for the pastor, organist and donation to the church, approx $1000

DJ: D'Amico, approx $2500. This is a DJ/Live Band combo and it includes a sax player for the entire night for an extra $600
Hair: Using my regular hairdresser. Since she is also a friend she is charging me $125 (BM are $85)

Makeup: I didnt officially book with anyone, but I have two trials set up with different people. Briyon Librizzi, muabybriyon.com, is one of them and she charges $225 for airbrush which includes the trial and day of makeup. The other lady is Pauline and her company is flawlessbeautybypauline. she is about $200 for airbrush for trial and wedding day.

Some of these prices aren't exactly what you would call budget friendly, but I would say they are the average prices for NJ.

HTH and Good Luck!
