On the day of the ceremony, she was with us for ten hours along with an assistant and intern. I was anti-DOC for a long time, but I'm very glad we hired her! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251109 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:43:13 +0000 poli2b 251109@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hey, I just realized you're in Tustin. I moved from there 3 years ago. Nice to see a local on the boards :) </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251107 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:41:28 +0000 poli2b 251107@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Mine is actually my officiant's assistant. She is charging $300 and will only be cordinating the ceremony portion. It seems pricey, but I really didn't want to risk it. Oh, and I'm in the Southern California area. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251105 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:38:36 +0000 mrsleopard 251105@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm in LA and an experienced DOC will run you about $800.&nbsp; </p> <p>I had Month of Coordination which means mine took over the last few weeks before the wedding.&nbsp; I didn't talk to vendors about timelines, etc.&nbsp; That cost $1875.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251089 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:25:06 +0000 LanaJade 251089@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>That is definitely a great price--I'm in nyc and the lowest I've seen is $600. Make sure the price includes the number of hours you need; some DOCs charge less but then you realize that they're just giving you fewer hours to meet your budget. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251041 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:25:46 +0000 msritaliu 251041@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Reading Mrs. Penguin's post is what prompted me to reconsider having a DOC.&nbsp; I'm going to be doing a LOT of DIY projects, and well, i think I have to admit that I can't do it all! </p> <p>@ Mrs. Bee- Thanks for the wedding planning budgets link! I was trying to find it but couldn't! thanks!</p> <p>&nbsp;@FAQ219 - Tustin is a smaller suburb in orange county, CA. I should probably change my profile to reflect that. :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251025 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:04:51 +0000 mrsbee 251025@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Here are the links to the posts!</p> <p>Mrs. Penguin:</p> <p><a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/07/06/doc-less-and-regretful/">DOC-less and Regretful</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/07/06/doc-less-and-regretful/"></a>The Bees' Wedding Planner Budgets:</p> <p><a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/07/01/the-bees-wedding-planner-budgets/">The Bees&rsquo; Wedding Planner Budgets</a></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-251020 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 10:03:06 +0000 EAQ219 251020@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My DOC is costing $1350, and I know it will be well worth it. Check out Mrs. Penguin's recent post about not have a DOC and regretting it, along with the &quot;Real Bee Budget&quot; post about DOCs that Miss Gloss mentioned. I'm not sure where you live (never heard of Tustin), but I think $400 is extremely reasonable. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-250996 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:44:38 +0000 caitlanc 250996@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>DOC stands for Day of Coordinator.&nbsp; That person basically makes sure everything runs smoothly and takes care of all the behind-the-scenes things on the wedding day. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/how-much-is-your-doc-costing-you#post-250991 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 09:41:58 +0000 thisismeAXiD 250991@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm new to this wedding thing, but what is a DOC?? </p>
