Day of Coordinator....??

With my wedding approaching (~4 weeks away), I am considering a DoC. I am a super organized person and think that having someone onsite to confirm set up/ensure details will put the cherry on top this awesome wedding sundae.  I don't want my sister or best friend to end up doing this to help me - I want everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.  So my questions -

Can you recommend a DoC?
What are average prices and services included for that price?

Thanks!

    And this is exactly why we hired our DOC --- we used Trends & Traditions Events --- GREAT communication, they handled every detail, big or small and we had lots of them including specialized set-up --- pricing was very affordable --- at least for us in peace of mind on our wedding day. GL!

    here's their website: <a href="http://www.trendsandtraditionsevents.com/">http://www.trendsandtraditionsevents.com/</a>

    We met with Danielle at Frills and Thrills Wedding and Event Planning and she was great. Now it's just a matter of convincing FI that we NEED a DOC haha!

    We used Christy Kahana from C.A.K.E Weddings and she was *amazing*.  She was so organized, kept us on time and all our vendors really liked working with her.  Prices are very reasonable!  Here's her website:

    And here's my review I just wrote on weddingwire:

    Mine is from 8/21/10.  I would post it here, but it is REALLY long.  She was really good!  :)

    We used Something Borrowed Something New events, and Terri was very organized and kept everything on track. She even saved the day when an issue came up with our Church (the priest from the Church we worked with had left and not left any of our paperwork, and he didn't tell us, nor did the new priest call us. if she hadn't called to check on things we might not have been able to get married!- we were using a family friend as the ceremony priest, so it was just for the paperwork with the Church).

    I also had friends use Elegance and Grace with good results.

    I think the DOC was some of the best money we spent- so that you can have peace of mind and actually enjoy your wedding day, instead of 'working' to manage the event!!!

    I am using the lovely ladies at Gracie Lou Events. They are my DOC but have gone above and beyond their role. They have been incredibly helpful in planning my wedding by giving me advice and even vendor referrals. They were also willing to work within my budget. Read the reviews and check out their site/blog. They also have a deal going on right now for 10% off for any remaining wedding dates in 2010. G.L

    Jeni Liu is very nice.  I think you would be very happy with her.  A lot of the brides on this board have used her.
