Hi guys, SO .. I desperately need your help! I have been searching for a day of coordinator for our Oct. 9th and would like to know who everyone else is using. We don't want to spend an arm and a leg and just want someone to be there to help us with the event. Any suggestions??? Thanks!!

    We used Amanda with Ladi Events.  She was great and much more reasonably priced that the other DOCs I interviewed.  Full review in bio.

    We booked Anthony Navarro from Liven it Up Events. His assistant is helping us with just our reception (that's what we needed the most help with) and it ended up being very reasonably priced.

    I'm using Misse Daniel of Honey Bee Weddings and am SUPER excited. I, like you, didn't want to spend a fortune on our DOC and was pleasantly surprised with her rates (especially after reading all of her rave reviews on Yelp and Project Wedding). Good Luck!! :)

    I used Shannon Gail too! Nothing but wonderful things to say about her. She went above and beyond what a Day Of Coordinator should do including having all of my programs and menus printed for me the week before the wedding. Definitely the best money I spent! Christina

    After a lot of thought, I decided to hire a DOC for my wedding next May (I know, a lot of time still)in Lake Forest, especially because I'm planning the wedding from New York. I contacted a bunch of people, but Shannon from ShannonGail was amazing. She's so friendly, honest, and understanding. Some of the other DOCs I contacted (even some with amazing reviews) were brusque and it felt like I was a nuisance to them. Shannon is the exact opposite. She wrote me novelesque emails explaining everything and answering every little question I had!If you book with her, please let her know you were referred by me! Christina! Good luck and happy planning!
