Good news is I think I found our venue (Purity Springs Resort in Madison, New Hampshire)...but now I want to get down to business finding some local and affordable vendors so I don't have to do it all while I am studying for my medical board exams! Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Yay for Purity Springs! 

What is your budget for these things?

EML333

I think my main problem is my fiance doesn't really know how to set a budget because we don't know how much these things typically cost. We would love to be able to do the whole wedding for around $10,000 and Purity Springs will be close to $6,000...so that leaves us about $4,000 to work the rest in... The good part is I will not need much of a budget for centerpieces because I am just going to put about 5-6 stems on each table in antique medicine bottles. So basically the only floral I need is 3 bouquets, 2 corsages, and 5 boutonnieres. DJ...I have no idea, but I have one in mind that has quoted about $1000 for 4 hours, so I basically looking for one around that or below. And photographer...My fiance and I are not good at getting our picture taken so I am going to need a good one that is ready to just take the awesome candids and catch us with real smiles! I would love to hear any suggestions and we can try and price them out as we go! Thanks!

I did some searching in the Conway/North Conway area (where I grew up). 

One affordable photographer I found was Top Notch Photography - they have a 5 hour package (2 photographers) for $1100 but it looks like you can customize a package too if that is beyond your budget.

Some florists in the area:

Ruthie's Flower Shop 603-447-8878 (no website)
Out of curiosity, who is the DJ that you got the quote from?  This is the area that I haven't found many hits for in my search.  I know my DJ works in that general area, but I don't know what his actual prices are (he's a friend).

I didn't get married in Maine but the photographers I used are from Maine: Portrait New England. Apparently, they cover all of New England for free and I was definitely more than satisfied with my pictures. They also gave me a great deal because my budget was really limited. You can check them out at www.portraitnewengland.com

Thank you both!

hcorrigan34- The DJ I talked to was DJ Tommy Blaze. He is from the Cornish area that I grew up in and has done a lot of my friends weddings. You could try and contact him on facebook if you were interested:

Oh I already have my DJ, he's someone I've known since I was 14.  I was just having a hard time finding anyone to recommend to you who was specifically in the Madison/Conway area so I was curious who you had found.
