The total cost of the catering, venue, and DJ is $325 + $250 + $375 = $<<325+250+375=950>>950.
The state tax will add an additional 9/100 * $950 = $<<9/100*950=85.5>>85.5 to the total bill.
The total cost for Shardell's portion will be $950 + $85.5 = $<<950+85.5=1035.5>>1035.5.
Shardell's portion will cost $1035.5/2 = $<<1035.5/2=517.75>>517.75. Answer: \boxed{517.75}.
