I know there are few things that you can invest in to improve your workflow and/or processing. Some of the things I noticed being popular are Nik for Lightroom, Photo mechanic, Vsco.
What would you say is one thing that is worth purchasing?
Any custom processing, presets, add ons that some of the top wedding photographers are using or selling?

Must have? PS or LR. Done.

Workflow add-ons depend on your style. Unless you want to change what I see on your site, I see no need for any add-ons in your case.

Do you have a particular style you're trying to evolve toward?

I'd add BlogStomp for fast blog output.

Lets see. I use Photo Mechanic for culling. Blazing fast. Lightroom for editing. I use presets in Lightroom as a good starting point. Got Vsco and love it.

One thing I can't live without is a program called Paddy for Lightroom. PC only, but speeds up my processing BIG time.

Most useful add-on for me is Motibodo.
I'm sure Paddy and VSCO keys will do the trick too.

Paddy sounds good, but if I remember correctly its quite a task to set it up?

PhotoMechanic - I believe it's faster than anything else for "culling" on a mac

VSCO Keys - speeds up my Lightroom editing a bit

AlbumFlow for InDesign - a script set to make InDesign more efficient for album design, I just started using this and it's fantastic so far.

im not familiar with tools like photo mechanic for culling but I use Adobe Bridge and it works fine for me to weed out OOF photos, underexposed, or not worthy ones. I just rate the ones I like with a 1 star, select those and drag into lightroom to import. From there, I become more selective.

It wasn't too bad for me to set up. When setting it up it was hard to find the Lightroom control. Now there is a search feature so it makes it much easier. Also once you get over that learning curve on setting it up/tweaking it it goes fast.

I completely redid my keyboard layout a few months ago and I had re mapped everything in about 10 mins. Creating and running scripts is one of my favorite things to do.
