Do you think I need to hire a day of wedding coordinator if I already have the DJ, reception hall, maitre-d, bridal attendants and photographer?

It all depends on how busy you are. I know some people work long hours. Therefore, they need an extra hand. If you have the time, I would say, no, you don't need one. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of time off and I get home fairly early, so I didnt (dont) need a coordinator. ;)

I went with a day of coordinator, but I was planning my whole wedding in a 6-month timeline and you have about a year. If you think you can do all of this yourself (and from my experience, it's a lot of fun!) then you shouldn't need a wedding coordinator. A DOC could help you if you're the type of stresses the small stuff on the day-of (like I do).

i think if you have already booked those vendors you dont need a coordinator. Maybe just hire a day of coordinator.

I did it all myself and had no problems. I dont think a DOC is worth the money.....by that time all the planning is done.

personal preference i think - but if most of your stuff is already booked, you probably don't need one. if your rh has a bridal attendent for you, you might not need a DOC either.

I hired one and it was the best decision I made. I had nothing to worry about the day off because it was taken care by my DOC

It's all up to you. I hired a DOC just to ease the stress of the big day. I didn't want to ask family or friends to keep an eye on things because we should all enjoy the wedding and not worry about little things.
for the reception, you should be fine with a banquet manager and a maitre' d.
A DOC is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Springsandra - What kind of small stuff did you find came up unexpected on the day of your wedding? Egem 523 -What kind of things did your day of coordinator do? I'm glad to hear they were a lot of help, but I guess I just don't know exactly what they do? You can send me FM if you want. Thank you so much!!
