I'm too lazy to do vendor reviews, but let me say that every single one of the vendors I used was excellent, and I would recommend any of them in a heartbeat. Just ask if you have any particular questions, I'd be happy to answer.
I know I had heard it said many times before my own wedding, that hiring a DOC was the best decision the bride had made.
And I knew that I definitely wanted one since I didn't want to make any of my guests do any work after they had spent so much time and money to come be a pert of my day. I also knew that I'd spent so much energy on my DIY projects that I wanted them to be displayed and executed just as I had imagined in my head.
I was totally BLOWN away by how much I loved my DOC. She was better than anything I could have hoped for; never intrusive, totally behind the scenes, and SO on top of it all. Our whole wedding day was so perfect and I know its (almost) all because of her.
So I've added myself to the list of brides who say that a day-of-coordinator was the best money I ever spent!

posted by clarita 31 posts 4 months agoIt looks like the wedding was amazing. i really like your ceremony site and I love your hair, i plan on something similar.
Did you like having a day-of coordinator. I think it might releive some of my stress, but i'm not sure about it.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
