How the DayOf Standard Informs Vendor Pricing

On DayOf, vendor pricing is built around the DayOf Standard. This means every vendor in the same category starts from the same set of required inclusions and then adds value from there.

What the Standard requires by category

◆ Coordinators (min. $1,000/day): Timeline build, venue walkthrough, rehearsal facilitation, full day-of management from setup through departure

◆ Photographers (min. $1,000/day): Family shot list collection, photography timeline, detail photos, full event coverage, online gallery delivery

◆ Videographers (min. $750/day): Videography timeline, off-camera mics, full event coverage, ceremony video and highlight film delivery

◆ Entertainment (min. $750/day): Timeline review, song collection, ceremony sound, cocktail speaker, full reception entertainment booth with lighting, MC duties all evening

◆ Officiants (min. $250/day): Ceremony script collaboration, rehearsal attendance, marriage license signing, ceremony conduction

◆ Content Creators (min. $250/day): Timeline review, iPhone content capture through the event, online gallery, 3 edited reels

How pricing works above the baseline

Once the required inclusions are covered, vendors differentiate through added value options like second shooters, drone footage, uplighting, engagement sessions, and more. These extras are listed on each vendor's profile so you can see exactly what you are getting.

This structure makes comparison straightforward. You are not comparing apples to oranges. Every vendor in the same category covers the same base. The difference is in their experience, style, and what they bring beyond the minimum.
