in New Jersey - South
Hi Everyone!

I've just started planning and I am trying to get some ideas for my budget. I want to get married in Cape May but I can probably use any South Jersey or Philadelphia vendors. So I can try and get a good idea of how much things cost, can you please tell me how much you spent/are spending on the following items and which vendors you used/are using?

- Flowers for bride and bridesmaid
- Cake
- Alcohol (if you had to buy your own)
- Hair and Makeup
- Flowers for centerpieces
- Music for reception
- Music for ceremony


I know that all weddings and budgets are different, but I am just trying to gather some ballpark estimates.


Thank you so much!

PS: Sorry for posting this on the South Jersey and Philly boards. I am new here and I don't really know if that's okay or not.

    I am getting married in Cape May too! I don't have a lot of my vendors yet, so can't help too much with cost. But I am not getting a limo...so I was able to save on that, since the church is near my venue.
