    It will depend on where you live most definitely. They will help coordinate with the vendors, decorate the room, keep everything running on your timeline........

    When I looked into DOC I saw prices from $1000 to $4500. I hired a DOC for $1000.

    I’ve seen them $1,000 on up...but like most things where you live matters and I’m sure day of week and time of year to some extent too.

    Mine is around 2,500 but she has helped me every month prior to the wedding just checkin in on me, answering questions, when the wedding gets closer she'll deal with all vendor stuffs and all family drama, make sure and keep everyone where they need to be when and overall becomes the ultimate shield between you and stress. Personally idk what I'd do without my day of event planner. She has been an absolute Godsent.

    Mine is $1050. We started monthly check-ins last month, and she has told me to call/text/email her anytime I need her advice or suggestions. She'll put together my day of timeline and coordinate with all the vendors before the wedding. She will attend and coordinate the rehearsal, and she and her team will decorate and tear down after the wedding. Basically, I plan everything and then hand it over to her to execute. Problem with the caterer? She'll handle it. Cake hasn't arrived yet? She'll handle it. Make sure me and FH get to eat the food we paid for? She's all over it!
    I think she's worth every penny!

    My DOC is $995 and I decided to get her setup/clean up services for an additional $495 so $1490 total. I checked in with a few different DOCs and prices ranged from $800 to $2,500.

    Cheapest I saw was $800. It's super unpopular but we're choosing not to have one. Between my OCD and my DJ's attention to detail and offer to act as our DOC, I think we'll survive.

    It’s based on where you live. They run on average between $1000 to $2500. Depending on what services you need. Try Thumbtack or reach out to some vendors in your area on WW under event planning. In your case I’d look for one that best suits your needs. A person who will help you the most and who’s in sinc with your vision.

    I chose a Month of coordinator but she’s been helping me throughout the entire process. She’s providing everything i need and i do mean everything! I paid her over $7k for an all inclusive package.

    I got quotes between a few hundred dollars and a few thousand dollars. WW and The Knot both make it really easy to ask for quotes from a variety of people. Start finding pricing then narrow it down from there.

    Ours is 1,050. She takes over everything actually a couple weeks out, final communications with vendors, makes timeline, go to venue with us to run through set up, picks up decor items from us on Friday, comes to rehearsal dinner, sets up Saturday, handles everything, takes down, and drops things back with us the following day. She will be a lifesaver!!!

    Ours was $1500 but I waited and booked her at a bridal expo where she was having a special so she was $1,000. She is highly rated and reviewed, and was still $100 more than the cheapest quote I got but her portfolio was amazing and she was absolutely worth every penny.

    Ours is $650 for 10 hours day of. But we got a discount since the DOC is also our florist, not sure what it normally was.

    I know mine starts at 2.5k but we live in a high end market so I think it would be different in a different area.

    Like PP have said it depends on where you live. Ours was only $500 and she is essentially taking over everything a month out. Worth every penny!
