Like a will, a prenuptial agreement is best handled through an attorney if the parties want it to hold up in court. A family law attorney would be a good choice. Also like a will, there can be a written, signed, and witnessed contract that may or may not hold water in the event of a divorce. Cost is too variable to estimate. Attorney rates average $100-200 an hour, and you can expect to be charged for the time it takes to describe what you need, for any phone calls you make, for the preparation of the papers, and for filing the paperwork with the court. When you consult with attorneys, you can ask them to estimate based upon a outlined list of what you want the agreement to contain, etc.
