Time of year too! June/September are prime months and they jack up the price. Consider November or January for when to get married.
I had a wedding in New York (well, Staten Island, but still, a NYC boro) in 2001 and spent about 6K for everything including the dress. 50 people in a restaurant, so no dancing or DJ. We ended up spending about $65 per person for a really good dinner. So a restaurant might be an option if you decide that you want to cut the whole music/dancing thing.
We also had a friend do the photography for about $300 and did the invitations and programs ourselves. There is a *lot* you can do with a computer and printer and Kinkos!
