Wedding without a day-of coordinator

I would never recommend not hiring a DOC with a wedding that size. It is going to relieve so much of your stress...totally worth the money

I'm a DIY bride and we don't have a DOC. I'm probably going to have a family friend do it.

You have a big wedding with a lot of moving parts. Hire a DOC. It'll be the best money you spend.

We are at around 165.Every dj we interviewed basically said that they step up and make sure everything runs smoothly, i figure between the DJ and my mom they can make sure everything is going well, but then again i am very laid back and dont have a clear vision for the day, as long as people are drinking and having fun i wont be upset by much. . We have our venue for 48 hours, 24 before and 24 after. So we will set up friday and tear down Sunday.

Actually we have two Djs- one to run the equipment and one to run/emcee the event. The extra person is actually why we hired him over what was our number one pick. I may look into it, but I am 90% leaning on no DOC.

We didn't really need one because our wedding will be so small, but planning from out of state was almost impossible. So, we hired a coordinator who was able to assist uring certain parts of the process. If that is out of the picture for you, then I would make sure the vendors you go with are very experienced and professional. Or maybe your venue will have someone they appoint to look over weddings on the day of. It wouldn't be a bad idea to split up the to-do list for that day and assign certain tasks to certain people and have your MOH okay it before you see it!
