The $26,360.00 Wedding Coordinator...WTH?!!

Wow that definitely sounds steep! 26K might be your final total cost but it really should include everything- NO additional hidden costs. I would definitely look around for someone else- or like someone else suggested- depending on where you chose to have the wedding a WC might be provided.

Uh, I'd just like to point out that the original post in this thread was from almost two years ago, and the member has since been banned.

Hey Jess!!! I've been around. I keep up with the Playa Fiesta thread in order to help out the new brides there. I can't believe your wedding is almost here! Just one more month to go. I'll definitely be here to see your pics and hear all about it.

Like the others, I have to add my two cents -- and much praise -- for Dazzling Details. Understandably different couples have different expectations for the cost of destination weddings, and while I think the original post estimate is extreme (and I do not think that was DD anyway), I think DD is worth every penny, even if that means more pennies than most. Their professionalism alone is invaluable. I've read of WC horror stories on this forum, where brides don't hear from their WCs for 2-3 weeks... and even with the insane schedule that DD keeps, I have never waited more than 24 hours for a response (which includes the 7 month email and in-person correspondence that we had without a contract in place). So for the bride who does not have the time (or energy!) to plan every detail that goes into a wedding, but who still wants a cohesive and elegant look, DD takes care of everything so that you can relax and enjoy the day. To me, you can't really put a price on that!!
