I agree I had a client that came to me with very little done I only had 48hrs to put the event together. You know how many phone calls to vendors I had to make. 500 is crazy and 250 is more nuts

<p>Thanks for your opinions ladies. This is our industry and we need to dictate what the standards are. I find that new comers to the industry are a big part of the pricing issue. They should know that when they set their standards low they are doing a disservice to the industry and themselves. </p>

<p>I know I'm kinda late to this discussion, but I'm jumping in anyway! I agree wholeheartedly! I actually don't even offer a DOC package anymore. Month-Of is the minimum. There's a lot behind the scenes that goes on- vendor intros and confirmations, drawing up the timeline, double checking the couple's plans, and confirming that we're keeping track of all the odds and ends the day includes...and not to mention the rehearsal, and the full day itself.

It's a lot- 20 hrs at min. <br/>I think the planners who charge less than $500 for that like working for peanuts. I recently found one in my market who's charging $250. Nuts, if you ask me!</p>

I agree 100% that you are talking at least 20hrs because you need at least 10hrs to catch up on all the plans that they have made, you have rehearsal, wedding / reception, vendor confirmations, review contracts, at least two in person meetings and you know they are going to call and email all the time. I say this should be called may be month of coordination.It seems like to just show up the day of without meeting with the client to go over everything would be impossible but maybe not for…

Most planners I know charge 500 for the DOC, however that's just the price for the day of the ceremony/reception. Any meetings prior to the event are charged as a consulation. Personally for me I don't always get 6-8 weeks prep time, I have had brides contact me as late as 2-3 weeks.
