9 priced vendors
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.
Washington DC against the rest of the country
The median published starting price for a coordinator in Washington DC is $2,750, about 17% 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. An assistant is typically $300-$600 and is what allows one person to be at the ceremony while another sets the reception.
What moves the price
- When they actually start
- Four to six weeks out versus the morning of is the entire difference in this category. Ask directly.
- Guest count and venue complexity
- Two hundred guests, two locations, or a bare site all need more hands.
- Team size
- An assistant is typically $300-$600 and is what allows one person to be at the ceremony while another sets the reception.
- Hours on the day
- Most packages cover 10-12 hours. Setup starting at 8am and strike ending at midnight exceeds that.
