Hellp?

I found women on Recycled Brides (our local wedding Facebook group) that would do day of coordination for $200+. They weren't professionals so you had that risk, but some women did hire them.

Have you called them? Do they have a storefront where you could stop by? What method have you been using to contact them and how many times have you tried? Where are you located, we could help you search for back up options, just in case this one falls through

If it's not in the budget, don't have one. We didn't - it wasn't a necessary expense in our eyes. We had family and friends who were willing and able (And eager!) to do everything a DOC would do - and for free. My advice would be to check with your loved ones - friends, family, bridesmaids, anyone who you think is a reliable & responsible person - and see if any of them would like to help you on the day of the event. You'd be surprised how often loved ones will say yes.

That being said, you can't expect anyone to do it for you - so if you really do want a DOC, I would suggest trimming the budget in other areas so you can afford one.

Best of luck!

I have tried to call mutable times its been 3 weeks. Not sure if she has a storefront. i have been messing and calling thru "the knot" our wedding is going to be in Easton, KS

Oh weird.

Have you tried to message her through WeddingWire? Does her business have a Facebook or other social media account where you could post to her?

I have tried to message her on Instagram (shes really active on there) but still nothing! wedding wire don't cover the area that i'm getting married in. i guess because its a small town

Do you still want to go ahead with hiring her, are you planning to give her more time to reply? Or is this giving you second thoughts about working with her?

I'm thinking maybe she has to much on her schedule......i'm definitely having second thoughts

Do you know anyone that studied event management? I went to school for hospitality management in Orlando, FL and many girls that I met in college were doing an event management track and got certified as wedding planners. I had one of my former classmate/friend coordinate my wedding. I do think it's really important to get one.

Students/beginners will charge a lot less.

Sadly i don't know anyone who is in event management
