I'm not from Southern CA but I would highly recommend hiring a wedding coordinator to help you plan in such short time. She can save you money and with the connections she/he would have, they can get bookings for you faster than you can. How far in S. CA are you?

I would love to hire a wedding coordinator to take the stress of me, because some of these quotes Ive been getting from vendors are ridiculous. Don't wedding coordinators charge a lot? at the end do you really save money or end up spending more?


p.s. I live in the San Fernando Valley

You end up saving money because she is part of the budget. Let's say you are having a $30,000 wedding. Most coordinators charge 10 to 15%. But, that is part of the budget. She can get your deals on flowers by going to a wholesale florist as opposed to a regular florist. A wholesale florist doesn't have a pretty store, just flowers. So therefore what you see is what you get you could possibly spend 500 on flowers from the wholesale place as opposed to spending $1500. So therefore you save $1,000. Well that's $1000 that's part of her fee. Then let's say a DJ is $1,100 she could have a good relationship with one and he knocks of $200. Do you get the picture. Believe me a good wedding coordinator is well worth the money. Sorry I couldn't be there to help you out and I wouldn't know who to refer you to in So. Ca. But if you have any questions, just keep posting.
