I booked one for the day of. Cynthia Riss of Cynthia Ross Affairs. She charges $450 for the entire day including the rehersal the day before. Although i only hired her for the of she has been available to me throughout the entire process via email and phone. She had helped me with everything from decor to how to handle uninvited plus 1.
I just dont want to be bothered with anything that may arise on the day of the wedding. She does everything

Re: DOC
My DOC package is $550 from Exquisite Affairs Production; Christine is great.
She's very helpful. DOC's know a lot of vendors from previous weddings that they have worked and many of them build business relationships; which can benefit you. They can work to get you good prices.
It's not necessary but if you can afford it then it can be helpful. But you will have a banquet manager and maitre d for the reception that will also be there to help. But the DOC also helps with the wedding preparations and ceremony.

I've never met with Vanessa or spoken to her but Eliana is a doll. Prices for DOC that I looked at ranged from 450-650. I agree with (Joanna??) BYSE does seem to go above and beyond the rest so its worth it to pay the extra. Go with whomever you feel comforatble with when you meet them.

Re: DOC
I am using Elaine DeLuca from Exquisite Events. She is one of the pricier DOC's but worth it. She takes all your contracts from you and contacts all the vendors the week of to confirm everything, goes to your dress fittings to learn to bustle, at your rehersal and with you from early int he morning(if you want) until the last guest leaves. I will FM you the prices!

Re: DOC
I cannot BEGIN to describe to you how worth it it is!!!
I used Francesca of Dazzling Affairs and she was INCREDIBLE! She is truly the reason that our wedding day was absolutely perfect!!
I wrote a ton about her in my review-- check it out-- she is AMAZING!!!
It is totally worth it. I'm so happy we had someone there to take care of everything. From fixing BM dresses, to redoing items I wasn't happy with, to paying vendors, etc. DH and I used LA Productions and we were extremely happy!!! Her prices vary depending on how much coverage you want for the day. Definitely contact her. She has such a wonderful personality!

ita, my experience has been nothing short of amazing so far. vanessa and i just had a conference call the other night to go over a few things and she is so on top of everything!! i would definitely recommend BYSE,
