day of coordinator recommendations?!

Hello- our wedding is in 17 days and im starting to feel like we may need a day of coordinator because i dont want to have to worry about the little details day of. I dont have much money left in the budget, does anyone have any day of coordinators you could recommend that are affordable?

    If we weren't getting married on the same day I would sugest my coordinator Courtney from after the engagement. I totally think it is worth it to have one. GL!

    I'd also suggest Courtney from After the Engagement.  Good luck!

    Here are a few names: Brenda swann Jessica ford beltran with Moira Events Bliss Events But since this is wedding season, you might not find one available. I asked a very organized friend to be my DOC. I paid her And got to have another friend at my wedding.

    I used Kasey Shephard from I Do...Weddings!  She was great and as you know, we got married at Quail, so she'd have experience with the venue.http://www.sdweddingplanner.com/

    I paid my friend $250 to help the day of my wedding. See if there is a friend or coworker you could ask.

    May I also suggest putting something in the "wanted" section on Craigslist.  Maybe you'll find someone who is just starting out.  You'd be taking a risk, but it may very well pay off.

    Leah from Simply Lovely Weddings is fairly new to the business and she might be available. You can search for her on Facebook. Here is her email: simplylovelybyleah@gmail.com. You can also go on bridalinsider.com and post on there about maybe doing a help swap. I know there's a topic on there now where some ladies will be helping each other at their weddings.

    I'm not sure how much Courtney (After the Engagement) charges now for services, but I believe her DOC package is under $500. She is offering a 20% discount this week. She is very reasonable for what she offers, so I would contact her and see if she we would work with your budget.
