Happy Friday! I'm reviewing multiple contracts for my DOC and I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Could you please share some important tasks that's a must for a DOC? Also. how important is it for him/her to attend the wedding...

What's the difference between a non-pro vs. pro BAM? The new site doesn't have the list of acronyms anymore so I was curious.

I need some advice. I need to hire a DOC and I haven’t had much luck. Either I haven’t received many responses or they are wayyyyyyy out of my price range. However, another bride on WW referred me to this DOC who I’m not 100% sure about. These are my...

I need insight on the pros/cons of premarital counseling, as well as the expected pricing for it. We're based in PA and we're not having a religious ceremony so it's not required. My mom originally suggested it and now it's been lingering in the back...

I'm researching DOCs at the moment and I've received a wide range of quotes from $300-$1800. What's the average cost in PA today? I was looking back at old forums (like 2009) and many brides thought $800 was pretty hefty for a...

Any recommendations for day of coordinator services in the Philadelphia area? Specifically no more than 1K.

How soon should you book your DOC? I don't have anyone in mind and I originally planned to wait until maybe next September, however according to the WW checklist I should already have that done. When did you hire yours?

Hi! Is anyone familiar with self-uniting marriage licenses, also known as a Quaker wedding license? I'm a PA bride so this license is common in my area because of our our large Quaker population. Apparently you don't have to be Quaker to do this. The...

How should I prepare for my upcoming bridal appointments? I'm anxious and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Ladies, please give me your best tips on undergarments, makeup versus no makeup, wearing perfume, designer research, etc.? Should...

Isn't it the BEST feeling when FH shows the slightest interest in the wedding planning? It's hard to get mine to budge on anything but today he suggested a song for our first dance. WHAT!!! He must love me after all. I actually choked up a bit and...

I'm starting to book my bridal appointments and I was wondering if scheduling 3 in one day is insane. I was thinking that it would be fun to knock them all out in a day. Maybe even get lunch with Mom and girls. Thoughts?

Does anyone have any experience with this site? As far as I can see, their reviews are pretty solid but I would like more feedback in regard to the quality of the dresses. Also, what's the return policy like? I would like my girls to choose a dress...

Hi Brides! I'm kind of taking a break from wedding planning until the new year. Apparently I'm annoying FH too soon. So for now, I'm just editing our website which will launch as soon as we send out the invitations. I also took advantage of...
