Hi Kate, You do have to pay extra for a lot of things. Like 10$/person tip, hair&makeup, if you have an outside photographer I think its now an extra 300$ to allow them to attend, DJ, transportation (extra 13.50$/person)....having said that my fiance and I think its totally worth it!!! I think whatever you choose to do it will be a beautiful day that you will never forget! Good Luck with your planning.
