Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.
I contemplated hiring a DOC and even contacted a few people, but then I decided not to. Even if I hired someone I feel like I would wind up doing everything anyway, since that is just the way I am. Plus, given our lower-budget wedding, spending about $750 for a DOC seemed silly... we have better places to put the money. I have a very DIY family and I think it will be fine.
I have help with in my family to get stuff together

I hired a DOC for the day. The best decision I have made. I already feel a sense of relief.
I have some anxiety issues LOL... so I know that if anything goes wrong (as it will) I don't want to have to be the one to hear about it... so that's why we are going with one - absolutely!

I am searching. So far I am being priced low to high. All i need is someone to set up and thats it. No all day coodinator...i can handle those things myself... just put the centerpieces on the table and thats about it...
Some of the DOC dont want to hear me though. They just say 'Well for 12 hours we can give you...' and I go 'I only need you for three'![]()

Anyone interested in a DOC should check out Ryan from ABOVE AND BEYOND. She was my sisters DOC and she ROCKED!!! We honestly don't know what we would've done without her!! As a past bride, I kept telling my sister that we wouldn't need one....blah blah blah! Well she wanted one and went with Ryan and I can't believe how she was right and EVERY bride should have one- I can't believe I missed out! She made shitt happen that woud've never happened if it wasn't for her- perfect example: The florist had set up everything for the ceremony to be outside and last minute it started to rain. The staff and the Watermill said it wasn't possible for her flowers to be moved inside, which was so upsetting being she spent so much money on the ceremony flowers!! Well Ryan went out there in the rain herself and cut them down off the headboard (Yes-she had all the tools in her handy dandy tool box) and then moved them ALL into the inside ceremony location!! Thats just one example of her AMAZING abilities!!!!! She sewed me a bustle, had body tape so my newly engorged pregnant boobies would stay in the dress, she secretly swapped out the champagne from my toasting flute and filled it with gingerale so I could drink after I gave my MOH taoast without being suspected of being pg- no one knew at the time!!! SHES THE BEST!!!!
DEF consider Ryan![]()

No planner or DOC for us... as it turns out, the head of the events at the Jewish Center is going to 'take charge' of running the ceremony and making sure we all know what to do (pretty much my big fear). He is also bringing his assistant to help deal with the reception, instructing vendors, etc. because after the ceremony he will have to disappear to the kitchen to make sure that behind the scenes stuff is working. I think it is just a perk for us because FH's parents have belonged to this Jewish Center for about 25 years!
We are not hiring a Wedding Planner. My mom is a former events planner and I'm a crazy person haha. Our RH is small and the BM and Maitre'D are able to handle all the Day-Of stuff. For us it wasn't worth the money.
not me, i wont be able to convince FH to spend the $$ on one
i work for one so YES!!! FM me if anyone is looking for one and needs some details!
