I think I need a DOC

in Florida-South Florida

At our tasting we were told that the DOC at my venue (who assured us when we booked that allllll would be handled by her) is leaving after the ceremony.

I'm too much of a control freak and I am worried that I might need someone there to make sure things run smoothly.

Since I CLEARLY did not budget for this, I need affordable reccs please. I already emailed Jessica (former knottie) and would really appreciate any and all DOC recommendations you might have.

TIA

    I'm using Karla from Stylish Events.  I saw someone else posted her info.  I think she has like a 5 hour package or something small like that if you need her just for the reception :)

    I'm using Karla from Stylish Events. She's on vacation right now like OP said but I would definitely contact her and see if she's available on your date.

    Since you have someone doing things up till the ceremony time, I would think she would work with you.

    I don't have a rec for this just wanted you to know I''m sorry this happened.  We are not having one either, and dont have the budget for it, luckily my caterer will act as DOC.
    I hope you find someone great and affordable!

    AL,

    I def. recommend having one there just because the coordinator's main role (IMO) is protecting the money you've already invested. Meaning, making sure you receive exactly what you paid for, and trouble-shooting if you don't. The DOC holds the vendors accountable. What if it's the hotel that's not coming through? The Hotel Coordinator can't hold herself accountable...lol. I know it's hard to budget for this, but I figure if your spending thousands of dollars, a $400-$500 DOC fee to protect it is worth it. I think Letty is amazing, she seems very patient and thorough, plus you can always rent that tent thing she has...which is awesome..lol!
    I know first hand that Justine is very creative and can help you not just with the Day of, but the actual look and design of the wedding. Some brides are not into it, so they need somebody who they can give some colors to, and they just run with it....I think that's her strong point. Karla is a total sweetheart, and she done some really beautiful weddings, including several Platinum sized events.
    Most of them have competitive prices and might be willing to negociate... so I would def. recommend hiring any of these ladies. HTH!

    xo,
    u

    I second Karla! I'm planning from 1500 miles away and she has been so helpful! I won't even meet her until next month but I am 100% confident that she's going to make my wedding run smoothly! Karla is back from vacation on the 7th I think! 

    GL!!

    I am also using Karla/Stylish Events and she is great and very affordable.  I got an email from her last week saying she will be out of town from tomorrow until 12/7 and without full internet access.  Otherwise, she is very good at getting back to me right away.  HTH and GL!
