Day-of coordinator recos?

Hi ladies.  I am trying to help a friend get some recommendations for a day-of coordinator for a wedding of 200-225 people in the suburbs next July.  Any ideas?  I did a quick search on here, but I wasn't seeing much in the vendor reviews.  TIA!!

    Hi Julie, I would recommend Brook with Tying the Knot out of Hinsdale.  She was my DOC just yesterday and she was great!  She is a little pricier than some other DOC's that I spoke to but she was worth every penny.  I would definitely work with her again.

    Katie from Simply Eventful / Simply Eventful Parties is my wedding planner. I would definitely recommend sending her an email to see if she's available, katie@simplyeventfulparties.com. Good luck to your friend! I chose to bring a coordinator on board right away and it was definitely a decision I'm happy about!!

    Highly recommend Anthony Navarro with Liven It Up Events.  He has been so great to work with and really does it with a personal touch.  Very reasonable prices too!  Please check him out!

    My day-of-coordinator was amazing. She dealt with a missing boutinniere, a crying temper tantrum from my aunt, buttons falling off tuxes, etc. Her name is Shai and you can email her shielady@gmail.com.

    We used Anthony Navarro at Liven it UP as well. He was phenomenal, really went above and beyond what a DOC should do.

    I used one -- I was soooo happy I did. She ran our rehearsal at the church, set up our reception at the hall, ran our ceremony processional, took stuff from the ceremony to the reception hall, ran the reception and even took my dress to the cleaners and DH's tux to the shop after the wedding. We paid $900 for her and it was really great to know everything was just taken care of! I used Event Bliss - our DOC was Kyra. She local to the area. her site is www.blisspapers.com
