I used Laura from LA Productions. She was awesome. Could I have done it myself? Asolutely. But - I can honestly say that my wedding day was one of the most stress-free days of my life because of Laura.

I'm using Laura too -- I agree, I could do this myself or delegate jobs to BP, but I don't want to have to think about anyone but me on my wedding day! In the scheme of things, worth the money I think.

I also am using Laura and I totally agree, that it will be money well spent not to have to be stressed.

For those that hired Rosalie, just letting you know that you have nothing to worry about.

Rosalie was great on our wedding day!

Michelle from Defining Moments was our DOC - she was so wonderful, totally worth it

This is who we hired. She is such a sweet person.

I personally think that you cannot go wrong with working with any of the above mentioned DOC's (Rosalie, Michelle, Laura).

Rosalie worked so hard before and during the wedding - everyone in my family and DH's family STILL talk about her and how she just took care of everything for us.

If you can swing it, go for it. It's really peace of mind.

I didn't use anyone. My hunny and I did everything ourselves. That day the staff at the Watermill handled everything and I couldn't have asked for anything better.

I hired Michelle from Defining Moments about 2 weeks before my wedding b/c I realized I did not want to be bothered with any of the details I had planned on my wedding day. I just wanted them to get done and for my day to flow the way I had envisioned!
Michelle truly made my wedding vision come true.
I didn't have to worry about a single thing!! She knew my wedding inside and out and made sure everything got done.
Hiring a DOC was the best wedding decision I made shewas worth her weight in gold.
