This may be a nice wedding present...
-- Contributed by: SharonCharmese - Fees vary widely based on the size and intricacy of the wedding, as well as how quickly it needs to be arranged. In general, the more difficult or elaborate the arrangements, the more expensive the services of a wedding coordinator will be. Fees also vary by state, however: it is more expensive to coordinate a wedding in big, popular cities such as New York and San Francisco when compared to smaller, less frenetic towns.
