RE: Wedding Day Coordinator - Do you guys reccomend having one?

Hello ladies.

Do you guys recommend having a wedding day coordinator?

Any one have any suggestions of any good ones based on experience and price/cost?

Please let me know, because I am thinking about it, but not sure.

Thanks!

I would recommend Meaghan Sinisi from Fruition Events - she does DOC and all other kinds of stuff too!! www.fruition-events.com

Someone asked this question a month ago or so and I wrote up this huge review about it so I'm copying that here for your info since it's all still 100% true!

A DOC was one of the very few 'extravagant' luxuries I let myself have on our wedding day, and it was the best decision I ever made to have a DOC. It kept me relaxed and made our wedding day, for me, the best day of my life.

I used Ryan from Above & Beyond Events (she's a vendor on here) -- a friend's sister recommended her, and her rate was competitive with all the quotes I got from others. I did a search and all I saw were raves, and she was WONDERFUL on the phone, so I contacted her, met with her, and booked her, 1, 2, 3.

Ryan made my wedding day possible! Literally! We forgot the marriage license in the hotel and she went back and got it, lickity-split! It was little and big things like that where she was there to step in and make things completely smooth and perfect!

I had this grand idea about a bubble introduction entrance, and she orchestrated it PERFECTLY, and I was so pleased!

Since we were getting married at the RH, we didn't have a 'rehearsal' in church or anything, so she also came to the rehearsal we did at the RD and helped make everyone (especially my mom and MIL) at ease! She was GREAT with my SIL's children (3 1/2 & 1 1/2) who were in the BP as well! She made sure I kept hydrated all day, helped keep things organized, helped me get dressed -- when the DJ asked my DH for the balance in the middle of the reception, Ryan had already taken care of it even before DH told me about it!

I was a really easy-going bride who wanted to make sure my guests had such a good time at our wedding, to the point that I was stressing about their fun. Ryan made it so I had the time of my life at our wedding without having to worry! She was worth every penny, which in the grant scheme of things really wasn't that much. I'd be happy to tell you how much if you want to FM me. But if you're considering a DOC, I'd talk to Ryan first and see if you hit it off and if she's available -- she was wonderful and really knows what she's doing!
