It all depends on how awesome the photographer is and where you are. In L.A. that's a good package for about that prices. Make sure you get in writing everything promised and when you get it, sepcific date.
I charge $2000 for me to photograph the wedding and web hosting @ picatage.com linked through my website. All the other stuff is extra they can pay for. Not all photogreaphers charge the same and not all of us are at the same level of expertise or skill.
You do get what youpaid for, I applaud you for willing to pay money. The photographer is the only person you'll hire who works all day for you and gives(sells) you something tangible that will last for generations.

It depends on the quality of the photographer. I don't recommend going with a place with multiple random photographers. You want to talk to the exact photographer who will shoot the pics of your big day. Then look at their work specifically and see if it is your style. There are a lot of different styles of photography. I am going with a more artsy type and paying a lot. I live in Delaware and i'm paying 2800 for my photographer and only getting a disc of the actual images. Those needing enhancement will be enhanced. Some pay as low as 1200 for what you are describing. It is all about how much experience the photographer has.

In my 25 YEARS as a wedding photographer, I've NEVER seen them attend and shoot the rehersal dinner... but whatever floats your boat...you only mentioned an album for the PARENTS and only ONE???????? When I do a wedding I offer ONE 8x10 ALBUM for the bride and goom, ONE EACH 5x7 for both sets of parents... if there are stepparents as well, it's a bit extra for the third 5x7 album---each album by the way contains the exact amount of pictures... 30 - 50.... I give them getting READY PHOTOS, wedding ceremony photos and shots in between the wedding and reception (bridal party shots at a scenic place)... and any reception photos they might want... When I was using film, I could use 12 rolls easily---(over 400 shots all 4x6.... the couple would also get the negatives and all proofs at the end of the contract sale... and 11X14 portrait of the bride and groom and other options were always available at an added cost.... I would charge $2500 for a set package... adding extra costs on for extra prints and extra enlargements... but that was a few years ago... as long as your photographer does EXCELLENT WORK, $2700 is a good price.. If he takes HORRIBLE PHOTOS,,.... $2.70 is too much....

If you are shopping for a photographer "by the numbers" then you are going to be in for a rude awaking. None of that means anything if the pictures are (a) no good (b) not your style of liking.
Take a look at photographer's work. Then if you like it, then it is basically paying what he calls for (or maybe little bit less if you can talk him down). But you shop for price and you get good price (not necessarily good pictures).
And don't work too hard to talk the photographer down on his price. You may find that he won't give the kind of attention on your wedding that you deserve. I this kind of sucks but that just human nature.
Good Luck.

$2000-$3000 *minimum* for an experienced, quality photographer. Location comes into play for pricing, so your results may vary a bit...
Questions to ask:
1. Will YOU be my wedding photographer, or another from your organization?
2. What is your background/training/experience?
3. Do you have backups for all your equipment?
4. Are you registered/licensed/insured?
5. Name your f-stops from f/1 to f/16.

In Florida I charge about $1800 for something like this but I am on the lower end. You could actually charge up to $2500.

Depending on location, I've seen packages like that go from $2500 up to $5000.

It depends on the quality not quanity of the work... You can't "jazz" up mediocore photography....
