Wedding Band, Photographer, and Videographer

Last week I spent a lot of my free time working on wedding planning. The main things we're looking into right now are the wedding band, photographer, and videographer. It's really tough to find each of these three things. Even just the initial search is tough - ideally you'd like to have referrals and suggestions, or at least some detailed rating information. I've been relying on Minnesota Bride and theknot.com for some starting lists, both of which work fairly well.  Also, the prices vary quite a bit, there are lots of differences with exactly what is included (especially for photographers and videographers), and it's really time consuming to look through all of the portfolios. 

We're still in the search phase now - just making lists of all the possibilities along with their prices and what's included in the package, but I'll have updates soon when we start making decisions!
