Cost of a Day-of Coordinator?

So far we've been doing all the wedding planning ourselves, but I'm stressed about logistics on The Day. Surely we can't supervise things ourselves on our wedding day (much as I'd like to!) and we can't ask a guest  (even one with good organizational skills!) to do it. So we're thinking of hiring a day-of coordinator. 

Did you use one? If so, how much was the fee? We don't need someone to order things or find vendors -- just someone to supervise/orchestrate on the day itself.

Thanks!

    We are paying 450 for our DOC.  She will be there the day of and for the rehearsal.  She also contacts vendors beforehand and discusses the timeline with them, and does a whole list of other things that I think are pretty generic for DOCs.  Our wedding is in Sturbridge, MA and she is based out of CT... so Boston may be more expensive.  I've heard of DOCs on the CT board ranging from 450-1,000.

    Our wedding is in Quincy and we are paying 800.00 for our Day of Coordinator.  She is also contacting vendors before hand, coordinating drop offs, etc.

    I only needed an extra hand to set some things up and make sure the ceremony went well since we weren't doing it at a church and there was no coordinator. I found Robin Perry through someone else on theknot and she was wonderful. She charged by the hour, I think it was $50 and hour and she had no minimum for time requrement. I was so happy we had her.

    Hi - I know this is late but I used Karen at Celebrations by Karen F Murphy. Her package was $600 for the rehearsal the night before and the day of the wedding. She was awesome - handled all the details and all of my vendors the day of - made sure everything was exactly the way I wanted and made me feel like I could actually relax and have fun. She was great - www.celebrationsbykfm.com

    I also used Karen at Celebrations by KFM this past weekend at my wedding.  She was wonderful, organized and very reasonably priced.
