day of coordinator (DOC) required

You’ve been spending so much time planning already. When your wedding day gets here, we want you to be able to enjoy every second of it. Having a professional Day of Coordinator will ensure that you, your wedding party, family, and guests can be present for the day and not stressing about the behind the scenes details. Though we don’t require you to have someone involved in planning your wedding, we do require that you have a professional DOC to execute your day. This includes overseeing your timeline, corresponding with vendors throughout the day, gathering guests for pictures, facilitating your processional, and just managing the overall flow of the day. We do require that this person be someone who is not a guest at your wedding, but a professional that is experienced in wedding coordinating.

You may also choose to have them responsible for setting up and cleaning up decor, but this is not required by the venue. If you do not have your DOC contracted for this portion, your group would be responsible for it.

The DOC is not provided by the venue. You would need to contract them separately. We are happy to provide a list of great suggestions though!
