So, I found and met with a wedding coordinator who seems fantastic.  She sent me the contract today, and it states that I would need to pay her the full amount with the contract of $500 (keep in mind this is a day of coordinator).  My fiance doesn't like that she requires all of the money now for an event that is 9 months away.  What is normal for this sort of thing?  What do you guys think?

Do NOT pay it all up front. What incentive does she have to keep providing you good service. Or to even show up that day?

I would offer to pay half now and half the day of the wedding. 

Make sure you talk to some of her past clients before you sign. I picked a photographer blindly and it has come back to bite me in the butt.

I haven't hired a wedding coordinator, but that seems ridiculous and unnecessary. PP has it right.
