Since I had decided I would be doing a lot of DIY for the wedding, I knew I would need some help the day of the wedding. There was even a point in time when I was going to do all the centerpieces myself. That idea was thrown out the window but that is for another post. Our venue included a day-of-coordinator, or DOC as the wedding world calls them, but I felt slightly uncomfortable relying on someone I would meet only a few days before the event to set-up for the big day. (SIDENOTE: Our venue has since changed their DOC responsibilities to include coverage a month before the wedding and the day of…they also allow you to choose between a few people…before they used one company. This changed after I had already found my DOC.) I tried to tell myself it would be OK and I could always ask some family members to check on things for me throughout the day. That was until I met Richelle…just one cubicle over from mine at work. I never thought I would fine a DOC there since we work for a newspaper. But she was a wedding planner before she got here and a fantastic one at that. After talking about weddings she offered to do DOC for us. We found out we are both borderline OCD and born only 3 days apart. So while I am hanging out in the bridal suite sipping champagne the next best thing to setting up everything myself…Richelle…will be handling EVERYTHING! It was such a huge relief to find someone I could totally trust to handle everything. And a bonus…since we work together I can always ask her questions if I have any. It’s the best! I actually found a wedding she did on Weddingbee PRO in a post by Amelia Lyon Photography. Here’s a link to the post!
