Is one really neede? I will be haveing a bridal attendent for the day. I am just worried things wont be set up the way I want. I am thinking of doing some DIY
I had a really small wedding - about 55 people. I had a bridal attendent and a maitre'd. It was the best decision to get a DOC. Things were set up as I wanted them to be and they handled everything and made sure things were running smoothly. I got a special deal on mine, but they can run anywhere from $400 and up is my guess, but you might be able to get a better deal on them.
Where is a good place to start looking for them?
i also have a bridal attendent
Not 100% sure. Lol.
I hired one mostly b/c I want someone checking off that each picture on my must take photo list gets done. Anything else they can help me with is icing on the cake.

We decided to hire one because we are doing a DIY photo booth and wanted someone to change ink cartridges, etc. I was surprised at how inexpensive they were. I am meeting with one soon. They are giving me a discount because I am a liwedding bride!
Here is what they said they would do:
-Unlimited contact from the moment you contract us
- 10 hour coverage with 2 planners on your special day
-Two face to face meetings prior to your event (1 initial consultation and 1 meeting the week of your
event)
- Custom time-line, tipping guide and checklist for the day of the wedding (copies of timeline will be
distributed to all of your vendors)
-Review of all preexisting or new contracts
-Confirmation with all vendors the week of the event
-Assistance with your guest list, seating chart and RSVP's if needed
-Coordinate bridal party entrance and receiving line
-Distribution of bubbles, flower petals, programs and/or any other items you would like your guests to
have
- Inspection of venue layout and set-up -Execute the placement of all details such as place cards, menus,
favors, etc.
-Coordinate reception timeline (entrance, dances, toasts, cake cutting, etc.)
- Guest assistance- special attention to any special needs or requests from your guests
- Final payment and gratuity distribution to all vendors
- Provide bridal 'emergency kit'
- Collection of all of the bride's items at the end of the event
From what I have seen, this seems like what most of the DOCs do, with slight variations for price/packages. Like I said, I haven't met with this company yet, but it seems worth it to me. I can let you girls know how it goes when I meet them.

ok what dose the bridal attendent do
Even though we had the Bridal Attendant and the MD at the wedding, I was very happy to have my friend/DOC there as well. She was with me from day one of planning and knew all of our ideas for the wedding and how we wanted things to run and be set up. She was for the church rehearsal to help tell people where they had to go so we didn't have to and was there the morning of the wedding to set up. She was at the Riviera before we arrived to assist in the setup and make sure is everything was how we had discussed. She was also just there throughout the planning as a ear to listen to anything I was worried about or needed help with. I'm sure if she wasn't there the wedding would have went off just fine, but the fact that she was there made me not worry about it as much.
