Anyone using a DOC?

I am so confused. I am having a fairly large wedding (about 320-350 guests). I odn' tknow anyone who's used a DOC, but I'm starting to think I may need one. With all the details of that day to be looked after, I don' t know that I can do it myself (with the help of mom and FMIL of course). Is anyone using a DOC and if so, what is a ball park figure of what they charge? Thanks girls..

I having about that many guests as well.. and I know don't my mom or any of my guests to run around and do stuff.. especially my mom.. i want her to enjoy every second..

so i got Francesca from Dazzling Affairs she is a vendor on here.. i booked and i didn't even go meet with her.. she came w/ rave reviews!! and i found her prices to be very resonable!

someone told me you can get a DOC for about $350 for the day??? I am wondering if this is true... and WHERE>> and I can't remember who the girl was on here that told me that a while back ! HMMMM

it depends on what kind of service you are looking for.
I know a lot of girls who are involved in this site, then go on to provide DOC for other brides after their wedding.

Before I started planning my wedding I planned a friends wedding and then looked into doing it professionally and if I were to do it, $350 would be the starting fee I'd charge depending on what the client needed.

you basically just need to look around, and keep an open mind b/c 'unknown' vendors can be just as amazing as popular ones you see on the boards.

I used one for my wedding and to me it was money well spent.
I used Laura from LA Productions (I think she starts around $750). She just took control of everything. I didn't have to think. My mom ended up being so nervous before the ceremony, she couldn't even get me in my dress. Laura was a godsent to her. She even sewed a button back on my bros tux during the photo session.
I had a lot of personal details and decor ideas for reception and she made sure everything was set up just right. She even redecorated my cake b/c the florist didn't do it right. After my honeymoon, she told me all the little things that weren't quite right that day. Well, I didn't have a clue. Anything that wasn't right was taken care of before I saw it.
I highly recommend her.

Plus, you'll have 'It's Laurie' to work with you on design elements. How great would that be? You loved her wedding!

Yes - Christine from EAP - she did Shorty's (ShortyMcBride) wedding (I was a guest) in November - and I definitely recommend CHRISTINE - She was ON that night - I saw her organize everything - make sure everything was set-up and done correctly - she was great. I mean, even as a guest I noticed - it was awesome!! CHRISTINE all the way

We're definitely having a doc...(two actually...for $650)...but we're getting married in FL so I'm not much help. I do suggest one for all the lil things you don't want to worry about and be bothered with that day. I really want my bridal party and guests to just have fun so someone has to see to all the lil details. Money well spent I think.

Wow $650 for two DOCs! That's great, I wish I was getting married in FL!
