Booking a wedding on a budget usually means booking it yourself, one vendor at a time, with no planner filtering the options for you. That is a lot of decisions to make blind.
So here is the short version of what we know. Every company below has worked weddings alongside us. We are not paid to list them, they are not paid to be here, and if we stop rating someone they come off the page.
A note on price. Some of these vendors are more expensive than us. We are not going to pretend otherwise or only recommend the cheapest option in every category - that is not useful to you. What we have done instead is say plainly, on each page, where the affordable entry point is.

A Lavish Event
Kaitlyn Brumfield. If you have planned the whole thing yourself and just realised nobody is actually going to run it on the day, day-of coordination is the thing you are looking for. That is her entry tier.

Ask us. We work forty-plus weddings a year across Northeast Florida and we have opinions about most categories - florists, hair and makeup, rentals, officiants. We would rather point you at someone good than watch you gamble on a review page.
The list stays short because we only put people on it once we have worked with them. It will grow slowly.
