We're in Maine, so our prices are considerably lower than what you'll find in NJ. It's actually my anniversary today!
Our cake and photos were gifts from friends who bake cakes and take pictures. We had a church wedding and rented the American Legion ballroom for our reception. (It's not your "normal" legion hall...very classy) My family did the food and my MIL made our favors (white chocolate daisy lollipops). Our wedding was very inexpensive, but it was a lot of work for us and our families. Neither of our families could afford to pay for our wedding, so we paid for what we could and our families helped with providing many hands!
Some general advice: Shop around. Ask for discounts. Do what you can yourself without driving yourself crazy. Ask all your friends and co-workers who they used for the services you're seeking. If you have a friend who is talented in something you need, ask to hire them or if they'll give you their services as a gift.
Go to NH to buy your dress!!! (since your future in-laws are there, anyway)
