Does anyone know how much a DOC usually costs? I'm thinking that it might be worth it because I stress out very easily and I don't want to be stressed on the big day! But we're also paying for the wedding by ourselves and are on a budget. What are your thoughts on a DOC? Worth it or not?
As always, thanks!

Re: DOC -- worth it?
It's hard to say. Some people couldn't imagine not having one while others don't think they are worth the money. I haven't met with any to find out exactly what their services include so I'm not sure if I will make that added expense.

I think its worth it when you are renting a space and have an outside caterer and have to rent all the stuff to go along with that. I think if you are using a hall, you can get away with not having one as the situation is more organized.

Re: DOC -- worth it?
thanks for the input. i'm getting married at the reception site as well, so maybe there's not too much coordination that needs to get done.

I don't think it's worth it unless you are having a wedding with like 500 people at a HUGE place with Platinum Weddings style craziness!! JMO

Re: DOC -- worth it?
I'm looking into hiring one right now. I do think it will be worth it - for me I have a lot of small 'touches' that I want incorporated, and I don't trust my banquet manager to handle it all. I'm doing a lot of projects on my own and I'm very particular, so I need someone to make my 'vision' happen :) HTH

Re: DOC -- worth it?
I'm having one because I don't want to feel stressed that day. She will call all my vendors to confirm and intercept any calls from them on the day of. That way if there is a problem, I won't have to know about it or deal with it. I found a great DOC for a great price and it is my gift to myself. All the planning will still be done by me and FH.
