My wedding was one month ago and I'm still so happy thinking about the success of the bar provided by Melinda. She asked a lot of good questions during the planning phase and spent a long time with me designing the drink menu and alcohol shopping lists. She would check in often in the months leading up to the big day. She's friendly, nice and takes a lot of interest in getting to know her couples. She will give you all the tools you will ever need for anything bar related!
