Are you using a Planner?

I'm going back and forth about getting a wedding planner for the day. I have most things planned out already, but an organizer on the day would be nice to have.

Any suggestions on people to look at, or should I just go with the flow??

    I didn't use one because our venue had someone there to oversee set up and to place our favors of the table for us.

    A lot of girls here use Tina Molina.

    I also used Tina Molina & she was awesome.
    It was nice to have someone in charge of making sure your vendors are there on time, set up my DIY projects like for example myescort cards, favors, candy buffet, to make sureour day went smoothly & not having to make one of our family members be incharge of all those details.

    Use the "Day of the Wedding" Pocketbook Planner...

    It is cheap and is an easy to use alternative to an actual wedding planner. You just fill it out and then assign it to someone in your wedding party that you trust.

    then... problem solved.

    I am using a day of coordinator, only because there are a lot of things in my contract at the venue that they won't do.  Like setting out favors, setting up a guest book, setting up the seating cards, which is lame because they require them, but I digress.  Anyway I also am having a lot of outside vendors so it seemed like the natural choice to get a DOC just so that I'm not worried during my ceremony if the chair guy showed up.  GL!!  Oh and my coordinator is out of the OC her name is Kristin Taylor with A Taylor Made Wedding.  Just in case you decide you want to use one Laughing.

    Yes, but just a DOC. I don't have family locally, and I want my mom to enjoy my wedding anyway... so I decided to get a DOC to do basic reception set up (CPs, etc) and make sure the vendors are doing their jobs. If all goes well, even if there are any problems, they'll be handled before I know about it. :-)

    Yup, another Tina Molina girl here. LOVE her. If you don't get a professional DOC, definitely ask your most organized friend/family member to keep things on point! Even if nothing happens, you'll have a bunch of people trying to ask you questions about some logistic on your wedding day, and you don't need all that!

    I had a DOC in Santa Barbara who was also my florist.  She was awesome- so happy I hired her, it was a huge relief!!

    I am using a DOC by the name of Genevive Segovia and she has been AWESOME!  Even though she is only servicing me for my rehearsal and day-of events she has been there for any questions or concerns I have had and has made me feel very comfortable about letting her take the responsibility of exccuting my day.

    She is very reliable and her rates are extremely reasonable compared to most DOC's.  Let me know if you would like her contact info.

    Good Luck!
