When I first started this planning process I knew right off the bat I wanted a DOC. So I started emailing around and meeting with people. I was surprised to find some charge upwards of $3000 for their services. Yikes! I certainly didn't have that kind of money. I really liked Janel w/ Occasions and she charges at least $1800. Then I came on the knot and found DOCs that came highly recommended like Manette Grace (other names that came up Christine Heidel, Laura Gram, Emily of Exquisite Events, for under 1k.
Now I'm even more surprised and confused. Why the big difference?
Has anyone worked with Janel from Occasions, of all the planners I met, I liked her the most. Granted I haven't met any of the more affordable DOCs yet.
