From the "starting at" price each vendor publishes on their own website or their Lazo profile, read 2026-11-02. A starting price is the smallest package they sell, not what a wedding ends up costing: nationally most couples pay $800-$2,000 once hours, add-ons and the date are in.
Raleigh-Durham against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a coordinator in Raleigh-Durham is $3,350, about 43% above the national median of $2,350. That is the local market, not a markup, and it is the number to compare a quote against rather than the national one.

What moves the price
