New Year's Wedding

Hi Everyone,

My fiance and I just decided (this) to get married on New Year's Eve this year.  CRAZY!  

We are planning to get married in New York City or New Jersey.

I wish I could hire a planner but when I found out it would cost me $20k-$25k for a wedding of 100 people.  I was shocked.  I also asked about day planner and I was told it would cost me $5k.   Ugh  Cry  So I have to do everything on my own.

Please recommend DJ, photographer, cake, hair, makeup, wedding officiate, everything and everybody.    Whatever you think I would need, please recommend!

I cannot take off from work so I need everyone's help.

Thank you!

    I used Madison Affairs as a day-of coordinator and it cost a lot less then $5k.  For video, you may want to look into IMR Films.  I just posted my reviews of my wedding on page 2 if you want to take a look at my vendors.

    The quotes for the planner and DOC seem REALLY high. I had a DOC and I didn't pay that much. What were you hoping to spend in that area?

    I hired a wedding planner for less than $5k for day of and assistance leading up to the big day. It is Pampered Bride Weddings. You can always call and ask. I have listed all the vendors I have booked so far below. My wedding is not until next May so I really can't say based off experience. But I think they have all been previously used by knotties and received postitive reviews. I would also use the search feature and look up recent posts as ladies always leave their wedding reviews and answer recommendation questions.

    Vidoegrapher - Your Cinematic Wedding
    Florist - Rose Petals and Lace
    DJ - Sounds to Go
    Hair/Makeup - Most likely going to salon, Chelsea Morning

    Here are my vendors, their websites and my reviews of them: http://mbcdd.weebly.com/vendors.html

    For the venue, I'd personally book a restaurant. However, you may get some killer deals from reception halls if they don't already have NYE booked.

    Also, keep in mind that NYE is a premium date, so you may see some high charges. But, again, if they're not booked by now then they might be offering a discount.

    Call everyone.  Good luck getting vendors on such short notice.  But if you're successful I bet you can get some killer deals.

    Vendors and halls all charge a premium for a New Years eve wedding. With all the New Year eve parties out there that are already booked, the toughest find will be a venue and a DJ.
