I'd really appreciate some feedback about DOCs. I'm getting down to the wire (11 weeks and counting). I have planned every detail of our wedding (I'm a type A, control freak) and did not plan on getting a DOC. My reasons are primarily budget. My stepmother has voluntold her niece and nephew for venue setup. (And i trust that they'll do a great job). My stepmother will coordinate (she actually wants to... And I DOCed her and my dad's wedding a few years back). I have a timeline and have tasked my type-A bridesmaid with keeping us on track. I have felt pretty good with this decision to save $1k+ on our wedding. However, I have been recently warned by others that I need a planner and something will go wrong and I need someone... etc etc.
Just wondering what y'all think of the DOC process? Especially when ALL details have already been planned and prepped. Is it worth the $1,000? Thanks!!
