I would definitely give Lauren at Celebrate Flowers a call. She's incredibly sweet, easy to be around, and will help you with anything you need on your wedding day. She'll help you come up with a schedule for the day of and will be there to  make sure everything goes as planned. I'm working with her and she's brought up things I never would have thought of. Her studio is on west 29th between 5th and 6th ave. Her number is 212-736-2102.

We got married a week ago and used Alina Tabari of www.nyweddingcoordinator.com

Based on our experience with a day of wedding coordinator - in NYC - you should not have a wedding without one. Alina saved the day for us - more than once!

I had my wedding this weekend and Nina saved the day in ways that the bride never even knew about. As one of the bridesmaids I realized that my best friend was way over her head. Nina is a church member who everyone knows is very organized. Her own wedding is next year and she has everything ready (including seating chart and every minute detail you can think of). I immediately thought to ask her to help out one week before the ready. She whipped my best friend into shape very quickly and took the reins and dove right in. Saturday morning she was on sight at 7am and made sure that everything was perfect. We arrived 45 minutes late because of last minute emergencies although Nina had hair and makeup started promptly at 8am. Nina had the photographer take pictures of the wedding gown and table settings, etc to catch up for lost time. The guests didn't even know that we were running late. No one had to worry about anything and we didn't even know that the florist almost left without decorating the cake because it arrived late. Nina saved the day with that one. I dont know how I just know that everything was perfect! She only costs $400 and was well worth every penny and more. you can email her at weddings.by.janina@gmail.com

P.S. Added bonus is that she is very artistic and even made the ring bearer pillow and matching photo album. It was a tiered pillow with jewels frings. PERFECT. Every detail was perfect.

Christine from Exquisite Affairs is amazing!!!!! She & her assistant Annie just did our wedding a couple weeks ago - & I can't tell you how HAPPY we were that we went with them. EVERYTHING was perfect.

here are pics from our wedding. Do yourself a favor & USE EAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Planning!!

Thank you for recommending Weddings by Janina Inoocentz!!!!!!!!!! Janina (Nina) was the absolute best and super affordable. Other DOCs were trying to charge me 1K but inooocentz was right Nina was worth every penny (I only paid $600 which is great compared to 1K others were quoting me). I decided to write this post because Nina was truly interested in making sure that my wedding day was everything that I envisioned it being. During the hurricane, she stayed at Starbucks to have internet so that she could finalize my schedule. She was always responsive to my texts and made sure that every detail was perfect. I don't know what I would have done without her. My bridesmaids were raving about her and my family simply adored her. When she left the bridal party to take pictures so that she could set up the reception hall, everyone was like 'where is Nina what are we going to do without her!" She left specific instructions with my photographer and was always a phone call away. My dressed ripped when we were taking pictures in central park and I was tripping all over myself. As soon as I got out the Limo, Nina was there with a needle and white thread to sew me up and fixed it instantaneously. I can't recommend her enough. Her website is www.weddingsbyjanina.com and phone number is 347-733-8197.

I was blessed with the review posted by inoocentz and I hope that you try Janina if you are looking for a DOC because she truly cares. I'm posting this review everywhere so that brides can get a day of coordinator that truly goes the extra  mile. Did I mention that she styled one of my bridesmaids hair (I tell you awesome!)

I have to say that I am a little disappointed with Christine from Exquisite Affairs. She didn't seem flexible at all. When I mentioned that I will not be available during normal business hours and asked to meet afterwards, she refused. It seems a bit unconventional for a wedding planner to insist the bride work on her schedule and not the other way around. Needless to say, I didn't go with her. I have contacted a number of other wedding planners before reaching out to her and she is the only one that wouldn't work with my schedule. I am little surprised to see her name come up so often on this board as she seems so inflexible right from the beginning for me.
