  Have you thought about having a friend or family memeber do it? It's relatively easy to get ordained online at websites like this:

  We toyed around with this idea so someone we know could do it and make it more personal to us!

  My wedding planner is an officiant.  I think she starts at $150 though, but she might have some type of special going on (she usually does).  About a month ago, she was the officiant for the couple that got married on Good Morning Columbus morning news show on 12/12/12. Her name is Nora McCoy, and her website is:   http://partyplannersplus.vpweb.com/default.html

  I think they charge what they do because they often meet with the couple to get to know them, plan the vows and ceremony, and then many attend the rehersal.

  
  

  If you litterally only want someone to come to your wedding ceremony, and officiate with tradition vows, and make it legal ... ask the ones you've already talked to for a discount.  

  
  

  I also really like the idea above of having a friend ordained to officiate for you.

  I've heard good things about Alex Dumm but I don't know how much he charges.
