I get a lot of questions about the “average” cost of different wedding vendors so I decided to do a little bit of research. I chose 5 major US cities and looked up 3 of each of these vendors for each city. Based on the prices given on their websites, here are the average costs of these wedding vendors:

Photographer:
Average price: $2980
Lowest price found: $1300
Highest price found: $4000
(Price based on one photographer for at least 6 hours)

Videographer:
Average price: $1846
Lowest price found: $925
Highest price found: $3000
(Price based on two videographers for at least 6 hours)

DJ:
Average price: $911
Lowest price found: $445
Highest price found: $1500
(Price based on one DJ for at least 4 hours)

Officiant:
Average price: $255
Lowest price found: $55
Highest price found: $400
(A justice of the peace is usually less expensive than a priest or pastor.)
