Norfolk Wedding questions volume 2!

Sorry guys but all the basic stuff I'm looking for simply does not quote prices on the internet and while we've made a few calls, I have no idea of how to compare the prices to the norm, so....

What is about the average price for the following in the UK (we are looking at doing it not on the cheap but not too expensive as we want a kick-ass honeymoon):

Photographer including developing prints;
Cake (don't fancy bringing it on the plane!);
What's an the done thing with regards to the amount to put behind the bar for say 100 guests ?
Going price for a band ?
Done thing for wedding gifts ?

Oh, and the missus reckons her wedding dress is gonna cost us 1600 euros (about 1000 squids). Isn't that a tad extravagant ?!!!

And finally (cos I haven't done this before you know!) - What am I forgetting in this list ?

Registrar
Ceremony
Wedding "Breakfast" (dinner)
Canap?s
Reception
Buffet
Bar
Band
Cake
Wedding dress
Bridesmaid dresses
Ditto suit(s)
Bridal car / transport
Flower arrangements

Jesus I'm getting well stressed out now!
