Chantilly Chic Celebrations

er had a better day in my life and I know a huge part of it was because Melanie kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. She has a wonderful, friendly, cheerful personality and she's very organized which is UBER important. I would definitely recommend hiring her for your wedding. You won't regret it!

so I was never a stressed out bride. I can’t thank CCC for letting my Pinterest board come to life. If you haven’t booked a day of coordinator, I highly recommend going with them.

ly matched our vision and personalities. Everyone she recommended was perfect. But most importantly she was perfect!! Her and her staff made sure our wedding day was flawless even during COVID-19. She was able to take our vision and provide a design that we envisioned in our minds. She even had ideas we didn’t think of or knew were possible. Melanie was always there to answer questions and provide her thoughts so we were able to get our dream destination wedding. Being a destination couple it was crucial to have a wedding planner who is trustworthy and reliable. She was all that and more. Every vendor loves her and we do too. She quickly went from wedding planner to friend and I couldn’t have planned the wedding with out her! She is classy, sassy, and a boss. Hire her if you want your wedding to be everything you want and more.

tions that made everything ever the more beautiful! Also, if you are looking for a planner that will partner with other vendors (venue, florist, photo, etc..) and ALSO stand up for your wishes with them you won't do any better. They help from the very beginning and set the perfect agenda/wedding day itinerary and make sure everything runs smoothly. They genuinely cared about every aspect of our special day and it showed in everything that they did. They were so much fun to work with and made everything SO EASY! Those are the 2 things I really want to stress in this review. Along with the obvious nerves of getting married the wedding presented its own to us and Chantilly Chic handled them all with perfection. You won't find a better team that will go the distance for you in anything that you ask! Thank you so very much for our special day!

r for us to really make our day perfect and special. I can't recommend them enough. Pro tip: hire them from the beginning!

t nervous about selecting a day of coordinator and I simply could NOT have made a better choice. The day was flawless and I could not asked for a better set of people to have my back. They’re truly in your corner throughout the process and it was so comforting - especially in 2020 where everything is a hot mess LOL. I need to mention their extra attention to details regarding Covid, and their patience as we had to first postpone our wedding for seven months and then later we cut from 200 people to a micro wedding of just 50 people and they helped us make changes to seating charts, order custom hand sanitizers, rearrange tables, etc. all to help provide guests with an extra comfort level and enhanced health + safety measures. We could not be more grateful. Do yourself a favor, stop scrolling through reviews and just hire them - you’ll be so grateful you did.

our wedding with such personal attention to detail and preferences. She is so efficient, kind, and professional. I had the most wonderful day— stressfree, memorable, and perfect. I could not recommend working with CCC more!!! They are miracle workers and I am thrilled that we chose CCC for our wedding!! Shoutout Sydney— you are a ROCKSTAR!! Melanie— thank you for your guidance and constant support, you’re incredible!! Do yourself a favor and hire CCC as soon as possible- you won’t regret it!

th us throughout the process, to make sure we were on track. Crystal, our day-of coordinator, was a delight. Eight weeks out, she took over as point of contact, and made sure vendors were staying on track. The day of the event, she made sure everything ran smoothly, and she handled all the last-minute changes that came up with no fuss. We were very happy working with Chantilly Chic, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a wedding planner.

for other vendors to work with while we were planning from afar. On the actual wedding day, Sydney made the process run seamlessly. I assume she fixed things that didn't go as planned, but she was so stealthy and on top of it, I never heard about any issues. Chantilly Chic is the dream team you need for your wedding!

and beyond to make everything smooth, simple and timely. We were very pleased with the level of service, expertise and professionalism they provided to ensure our wedding was exactly what my wife expected. We highly recommend Chantilly Chic for your wedding day!

help with any questions that we had for details and overall design. She also had PLENTY of vendor recommendations in her back pocket when we were in a rut. When it came to vendor relations, she was super easy to work with and was always very prepared, organized, and asked all the right questions. We were highly impressed with how much time she spent making sure she knew exactly what we wanted and how we envisioned our day, from the first minute of the day to clean up at the end of the night. Having a wedding planner/coordinator was very important to us when we talked about our wedding. We both work full time and have very demanding jobs, 3 pets, and were planning a wedding an hour away from where we live. When we found Melanie, she made it very easy for us to update her and have our check in meetings while being remote and within our work schedules. It also helps that she is an awesome person and so bubbly. Even if we were on the phone late at night to get things done, it was enjoyable and we felt like she made the meetings as efficient as possible by asking the right questions and guiding the conversation. The Day Of execution was wonderful and stress-free. Melanie was as prepared as we expected her to be, took control and had no problem being stern when necessary to ensure the day stayed to the timeline. She did a great job of coordinating everyone to make sure we didn’t see each other prior to the ceremony, per our request. IF we had to complain about something from the Day Of, it would be that we weren’t informed of a glass sign breaking (at the end of the night) and the cake being dropped (again at the end of the night). Neither of these things affected the day in any way, so I understand why she would have chosen not to tell us. I’m sure lots of brides would not want to know - I just happen to be one that would have. It was a real surprise to open our smooshed cake in the box at the end of the night hahaha. This is a very minute detail that shouldn’t take away from the job she did and the work she put in for us. Chantilly Chic Celebrations/Melanie exceeded our expectations by extending information and assistance when it wasn’t required or in the contract. She really cares about your day and making sure that you get exactly what you want while also staying on budget. If we ever get our vows renewed in Florida, Melanie will be our first call! ;) Thank you so much for the effort you put in for us! We’d want to go back and do the night all over again - it was so perfect.

match us with a planner that would best suit our needs. She's not just a coordinator, but a fabulous "match maker" because we could not have been happier to work with Sydney! Sydney and Melanie are a dynamic duo, and their positivity and enthusiasm are contagious. We were also extremely impressed that Melanie took the time to be at many of our in-person meetings with Sydney. The two of them tackled every detail from the start, with loads of helpful recommendations and vendor referrals. They were also extremely organized and kept us on track throughout the planning. Sydney took care of every (and I mean every) detail of our wedding: finding linens; running the rehearsal; setting up our photo booth, place settings, seating chart, table displays, and more; keeping us on track time-wise; and of course coordinating continuously with all of our vendors! Always just a phone call away, Sydney counteracted our constant indecisiveness, offering suggestions and support throughout the planning process. She also deftly handled all of the last minute hiccups with ease and insulated us from them. Sydney is also planning her own wedding, so she completely understands a bride's point of view which proved to be an extremely helpful quality. On our wedding night Sydney and her assistant were wonderful! They constantly checked in on us, helped with whatever we asked of them, and even personally brought us drinks. Our wedding ran incredibly smoothly! All of our vendors arrived, set up, and performed exactly as we hoped. Not a single thing went wrong, and we have CCC to thank for that! They brought our vision to life and made our wedding night the best night of our lives! We can't thank you enough! Alex & Alexa Bourne

we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding in our favorite place. We didn't have a budget, a color scheme, or a ton of time to meet with a lot of vendors to shop around. What we did have was some mood inspo photos, an idea of a "feeling" we wanted to achieve, and less than 6 months to achieve it. We found Chantilly Chic through a recommendation of another vendor on our venue vendor list. We were so very grateful for this rec because from the very first few minutes of our first phone call with Melanie, we felt confident she was the backbone we needed to keep everything going. I feel stress so deeply that it manifests physically, and I knew I wanted to be a happy, healthy bride that felt great on my wedding day. Melanie gave me the confidence that I would be able to be exactly that for our wedding weekend with her support and her decision to assign Sydney as our lead planner. Having Melanie, who has a strong presence and direct, assertive way of approaching vendors and decisions to be made teamed with Sydney, who knew how to read our moods and in between the lines to make decisions on our behalf (mostly for me) when we were stressed or couldn't be there in person was exactly what we needed. Their expertise and understanding of us as a couple were so crucial for us on our wedding day when a tropical storm unexpectedly hit right as we were scheduled to have our ceremony on the beach. They sprang into action with very little notice to move everything inside. We had accepted that we would be inside as a rain plan and had just rolled with whatever was going to happen with the changes because we trusted them and how they would handle all our vendors implicitly. When we arrived at our venue, they had made a new entrance for our guests into the venue to protect them from the rain. They coordinated with our caterer to keep all of the food stations to be kept behind a false hedge wall (which was also a last minute change they arranged due to pipe and drape not fitting the lower ceiling) and had created an intimate aisle/altar so that our guests wouldn't have to sit at their tables watching us in the middle of our food stations saying our vows. Everything was so special and warm, even more than I think it would have been on the beach, because we didn't even need a mic, and everyone was so in the moment. The event management package was perfect for us because it allowed us to make the big decisions and then two months out, Sydney and Melanie, took over to facilitate everything going smoothly and to ensure all small decisions were made too. And there are SO MANY small decisions that we wouldn't have even dreamed of but really made all the difference. Sydney asked what we wanted our cups to be filled with all night, I just didn't know how massively important that was going to be until we were in the middle of photos and she saw a look in my eyes that said I needed food and drink to re-energize. Sydney and Melanie allowed us to be US on our wedding day and enjoy all the family that had come a great distance for our wedding weekend. We had a vacation and a celebration, instead of a job, and we'll forever be so grateful for that.

ding and I got to relax and enjoy the day! Thank you ladies so much for making my daughters day so enjoyable and memorable!

. I admittedly had high expectations, because let's face it- you want your big day to go perfectly. Well, my indecisiveness and big day fears led me to interview several day-of-coordinators & wedding planners. Nothing felt quite right. No one really got the vibe I was going for and many seemed to make me feel more unequipped than ever to plan a wedding....until Melanie and Sydney from Chantilly Chic Celebrations. Cue the angels singing from above! Finally. I knew after our initial phone call (that def. went over the normal consult time) that they were the ones I needed in my life. They supported that we wanted to plan our own wedding day, but utilize them for event management (day-of, but really much more, coordinating). They never pressured me into hiring them for more, although in hindsight I totally could have-- I trust them THAT MUCH. Sydney executed every detail of our wedding reception to perfection. Not a single thing went wrong (how is that even possible?!). From setting up our tablescapes to helping me change into a different dress in the bathroom. She did it all. No detail or bra snap was missed. haha She is really sweet and happens to be planning her own wedding reception too, so she can relate to everything a bride is going through. She was always easy to get a hold of and very responsive to her e-mails. She also has great relationships with vendors, which was awesome and helped us score a few discounts. All of my vendors spoke highly of Sydney and their experience working with her the day-of. She and Melanie really brought the fun part back into planning a wedding, answered every question no matter how silly it seemed, and helped alleviate any worries I had. Outside of marrying my husband, hiring them was the easiest and smartest decision. Don't waste your time interviewing people and questioning if you can get a better price. I've done it for you. They were a little more and worth.every.penny. Now go enjoy a mimosa and continue scrolling Pinterest for fun details and let Sydney handle the rest.

vendor I needed, and worked with my special design requests for my theme wedding to make sure I had the wedding of my dreams. She checked in every month leading up to the wedding and was always available by text or email within 24 hours.

was in St. Pete, FL and we were still in Texas so I was a bit worried I had waited too long to find a wedding planner. All my worries were put to rest after my initial phone call with Melanie. We reviewed the different options and I decided the partial plan was best for me. I HIGHLY recommend this plan for anyone doing a destination wedding. Your overall budget is broken down and simplified, a timeline is set for choosing/reviewing vendors, a design board is created, and you have regular calls throughout the entire time to discuss progress/changes, etc. Communication was EXCELLENT. Even if I had something come up or had a question in between our monthly calls, Melanie was available and always responded quickly. I provided my design inspirations for ceremony, reception, linens, center pieces, and flowers and Melanie completely nailed every single aspect. It was actually better than I could have imagined. Melanie's preferred vendors were absolutely wonderful and she made it so easy to compare proposals. The weeks leading up to and the day of were executed flawlessly. Melanie made sure all the vendors and venue were on the same page and we did not miss a beat at all on the day of. I had absolutely zero worries that day. Melanie touched base with me throughout the day and kept me updated. The timeline flowed so well and was structured to allow some wiggle room. I cannot say enough how wonderful Melanie and her team are. They have a true love and talent for what they do and I am so grateful we crossed paths. If you are planning a wedding in the Tampa area, then Chantilly Chic Celebrations is the only call you need to make. They will literally make your dream come true.

their experience. They were a Godsend on wedding day. While one of the team was at the church to make sure things started on time, the other team member was at the reception venue fielding vendor and room set up. I’m a stickler for details myself and I felt completely confident with Chantilly Chic Celebrations knowing that I would not be able to attend to all the details and also enjoy the day. Everything turned out perfect! They worked so hard from the beginning of the day to the very end of the reception. They are invaluable!!!!!!!!!!! I would encourage anyone to hire Chantilly Chic Celebrations!!!!!!

She made me feel at ease on my wedding day making sure everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. If you want someone to help make your dream wedding a reality, make sure to check out CCC.

er throughout our entire planning process. I HIGHLY recommend working with her and her team.

deas on anything you ask her! She also always has your best interest at hand to ensure your wedding day goes smoothly. We highly recommend Melanie to help plan your big day! Thanks for everything Melanie! <3 -Jessi & Lee Z

is review it’s because you have some interest in securing Chantilly Chic to plan and help create your vision for your wedding. We had the same thought and immediately contacted Melanie and after our first initial meeting we didn’t think twice and hired her right away. Melanie has such an awesome personality that you will feed off of, has a great attitude, forthright, and transparent with any ideas/thoughts we brought to the table. If it can be done she’ll make it happen. It’s seriously one of the biggest days of your life so again experience is key and Melanie definitely showed it throughout the planning. When you have any questions or concerns and with whatever curveball you throw at her she’ll put you at ease as she did with us. Throughout the process she was a fantastic communicator to us and our vendors, extremely organized, and very detailed. So now to our wedding day; Melanie turned our vision into reality! We had a blank canvas venue that we used for our ceremony and reception and we wanted it to be industrial rustic and she made it happen. Melanie and her team created the most beautiful romantic atmosphere. Everything flowed smoothly and if there was a hiccup we didn’t know. She truly cared and wanted us to have such a memorable night and we did so thank you so from the bottom of our hearts Melanie for an amazing wedding. All the best to you and your team!

ff without a hitch! I'm sure she wanted to strangle my mom and I at some point lol but we would have never known! She is very knowledgeable about everything wedding and always had suggestions and truly made the process very easy. She honestly is there to make sure your day is perfect and did not disappoint. She is a rockstar and I'm very thankful that we hired her! Love you Mel! <3

back a list of vendors which saved me so much time during the planning process! She kept the wedding planning process on track by sending over monthly check-ins with an updated budget and our "to-do" list for that month. She saved the day more than once and made our day go so smoothly with her detailed timeline and full communications with all of our vendors. We couldn't have asked for a better planner. I highly recommend Melanie at Chantilly Chic Celebrations for your special day!

happy to help us! Melanie literally gave us the wedding of our dreams. She knew every question to ask and every detail to fix. I have no idea what I would have done without her. Not only is Melanie very professional, she is so friendly and supportive. By the end of all our planning I felt like she was a second maid of honor! Thank you Melanie and Chantilly Chic Celebrations for helping Zach and I plan such an incredible wedding, we are so grateful for all your help!

smooth. I absolutely loved working with Melanie- her energy and attitude were always so positive and you could tell she genuinely cared about making everything exactly the way I wanted it. She took away all the stress of coordination and worrying how things were going to turn out. The day of the wedding was so perfect with absolutely no unwanted surprises. I would recommend Chantilly Chic Celebrations to anyone, you will not regret it!

and anxiety about the planning process melt away. I feel like the most common question you get while engaged is, ‘How is wedding planning going? Are you totally stressed?” and every time I was lucky enough to say “nope not at all! It is going great” and that is 100% because of Melanie and her amazing team. I did not make it easy on this girl and she delivered far beyond even my wildest dreams!! I had vague thoughts on look and feel for the day but nothing I could really put my finger. Melanie took my two or three comments and totally ran with them, creating the most amazing atmosphere for our wedding. She totally got what I meant when I said, “organized chaos” and “nothing too matchy matchy” to create an elegant and fun New Years Eve wedding. Now let me tell you, Melanie is one busy lady. Even though she had multiple weddings she was juggling, some even the same weekend as mine, I always felt like her #1 priority. She was so amazing to answer my questions and calm my fears all hours of the day. Melanie, Corey and I cannot even begin to thank you for being you, keeping us laughing, putting up with my moments of crazy, and creating the most memorable day for us! We love you and can’t wait to see you on our annual trips to Florida! 😊 -Erin

om) be in control and make decisions we want but also give us input from her experiences. She’s always available and gets back right away to any questions through email or text or phone calls. She is SO organized and knows how to keep to a schedule along with everyone apart of the wedding! Thank you again for everything you all did for us and helping make our big day the best happily ever after we could have imagined!

e helped us plan our wedding from out of state and went above and beyond to make sure our needs and expectations were met. I appreciated Crystal and Chantilly Chic for their attention to detail and organization. The wedding day was wonderful and stress free not only for the bride & groom but also the immediate families. She was at the wedding from the start to finish, which we really appreciated! Crystal is so easy to work with and has a calming presence that makes you feel that everything will be in good hands with her! We would highly recommend Crystal & Chantilly Chic Celebrations!

ooked with them earlier! Crystal made sure our vision came to light with no bumps along the way. The communication and making sure everything that needed to be done got done, she made sure of that! We loved how firm (but so polite) she was with making sure all the vendors/everyone involved in the wedding knew what they were doing & exactly when to do it. We highly recommend Crystal & the CCC team for any bride & groom looking to have their dream day be totally stress free! We are forever grateful for you!!

call with Melanie; who asked all sorts of questions to better understand my dream wedding. Her positivity and energy was contagious. I felt like I was talking to a friend from long ago who wanted "the scoop". From there, we setup our first in-person meeting. Melanie and Lori arrived looking very chic and professional and I thought to myself, "These ladies know what they are doing." We met for close to two hours, where we planned on how to make my vision come to life. Their wealth of knowledge and experience was apparent from beginning to end. They kept me on track and whenever I needed a little push to get something done, they always found a way to do it (nicely). Melanie and Lori work phenomenally as a team. Together, they never miss a beat. As far as the wedding, it could not have gone more perfect or smooth. If we had any hiccups, I didn't know (and still don't know) of any. When we got a sneak peak of the ballroom before our guests came down, I cried true happy tears. They took boxes of decorations that they have never seen before and transformed the ballroom into something out of a movie for me. Their eye for excellence and strong will to impress was appreciated by all. Once again, I can't thank them enough for working so tirelessly and always being so warm and positive. We are forever grateful. <3

otten to handle. She created these amazing floorplans and timelines and coordinated all vendor efforts and communication. I would have been completely lost without her foresight. Then 'day of' she made it her mission to keep me blissfully unaware of any delays or hiccups and ensured that everything went off without a hitch! She is fun, energetic and thoughtful…her whole team is just amazing to work with! Before hiring CCC wedding planning was completely stressing me out and I was struggling to balance work and wedding demands...there is just no way I could have done it without their help! Look no where else for top notch planners!

e for a typically stressful experience into one unforgettable and flawless night. Thank you so very much!

flowed. Which is a huge compliment coming from guests! From her super organized and color coordinated timelines to her fun text messages and emails, Melanie made the whole wedding planning process enjoyable and FUN and we most definitely couldn’t have done it without her!!

perfect. In February, a couple of months before wedding we got a call about my venue and I was devastated. Melanie swooped in and helped me remain calm and we found a better venue than the first one. The day of the wedding was a dream! Everything was magical and came together so perfectly. Melanie and her crew gave me Amy Disney dream wedding that I had been dreaming about as a little girl. Thank you so much!

lt and their first time working there. She was quick to respond to phone calls and texts, helped setup our decor, managed experience vendors and new vendors with ease, and managed our venue. The weather even turned chaotic just before our ceremony and she was calm and was able to quickly move cocktail hour inside to ensure our guests had the best time. No one even noticed how crazy it truly was. At the end of the night we had all our boxes ready, they quickly packed our stuff and car for us to leave the venue quickly and enjoy more time with our family/friends. We can't thank them enough and wished we had them on sooner. From the Groom: I am so happy my wife and I enlisted Chantilly Chic for day of preparations for our wedding. Crystal was great to work with: she asked all of the right questions, was incredibly responsive, was easy to get along with, and was constantly looking out for our best interests. She was super professional in setting up meetings and reviewing contracts before the wedding. We booked her 6 weeks out and my only regret is that we didn't book her services earlier than that. On the wedding day, Crystal did a great job of keeping things together at our venue (Grand Plaza St Pete Beach), which was very chaotic. Additionally, her and Melanie documented all of the things that our venue did wrong and brought it to their attention immediately. You see, our venue was awful to deal with and were very unprofessional in how they dealt with us. As a groom who is usually looking to save, I would say that this was some of the best money that we spent, even to the point of wishing that we booked Chantilly to plan the entire wedding. I definitely recommend that you enlist their services for your wedding.

lm and confident in our planning and decisions. Everything was more beautiful and perfect than I ever imagined. The whole day went so smoothly and I was just blown away by how easy and happy our day was. Their day of timeline, venue layout, etc they made was all so organized and detailed, I felt so good going into the big day. Our venue was the Moreans Arts Center for Clay so we had to bring everything into the venue ourselves (catering, bartending, rentals, florists etc.. all of it!), which seemed kind of hectic but they were so good and organized about contacting and keeping our many vendors organized and prepared. I work north Tampa but they were flexible with my schedule and made our meetings work, even staying late when needed to make sure I felt good with all questions answered before leaving. We were referred to them by a couple past Brides, and we're so glad we listened! I will definitely be continuing on the referrals to anyone getting married in the future. My mom and I could not have had a better experience, and booking Chantilly Chic is BY FAR the best decision we made for our wedding.

step and made our wedding better than we could have imagined. I would recommend them for any and every event. Planning with them is like planning a fun party with your best friends, the staff are so welcoming, considerate, organized, brilliant, and fun. They took ALL of the stress out of our big day and the weeks leading up to it. If I could spend every day with this crew, I would! If you don't hire them, you are missing out!!

s the perfect wedding is like a super human power. She kept us on track as far as timelines and when we needed to make decisions. She let me blabber on about all my concerns and even my work stress and calmed my nerves about throwing this big of a party. Melanie really made this day exactly what we wanted. The absolute best part for us, was that Melanie took all the stress out of it. We were truly able to enjoy our perfect day because we knew everything else was in good hands. Thanks Melanie and the whole Chantilly Chic Celebrations crew for marking our “start of forever” the best.

all of her help! Between the rain, (Tropical Depression!), dealing with a massive wedding party and coordinating with all our vendors and family, she was there every step of the way! Her recommendations on vendors was priceless! And knowing she trusted them put my mind at ease. It was such a beautiful magical day! Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts to the CCC family! You guys are rockstars!! ~ Erica & Keith

as and Chantilly Chic transformed the park into a magical setting. In my mind, I knew exactly what I wanted, but of course, didn’t have the time the day of my wedding to set everything up. I also didn’t want my family and friends to have to work and stress the day of the wedding. I met with Melanie twice the month of my wedding, sent her a few inspiration pictures and what seemed like a million emails (she answered them all graciously) and Melanie and her team executed my vision flawlessly. In addition to working with my husband and I, they also coordinated and worked directly with our venue and all our vendors to ensure that the day ran smoothly. The day of my wedding I was completely confident in Chantilly Chic and did not have a worry in the world thanks to Melanie and her team (which is how all brides should feel on their wedding day). With Melanie’s help, our day-of-timeline ran like clockwork. Everything was seriously perfect! If I’m being honest, I have a “type A” personality and have always preferred to do things myself; however, working with Chantilly Chic during the month leading up to my wedding was the best wedding planning decision I made. I could enjoy every minute of my wedding day and was able to stress less leading up to the big day. I have so much respect and gratitude for Melanie and her team and highly recommend them!

a part of the wedding. Melanie worked with us to incorporate the dogs and answer any questions that came up. (They had a rustic venue where we had lots of decisions to make.) She patiently answered my many emails, helped us find some excellent vendors, saved us money and kept us under budget, and even picked up our flowers and brought them to the venue on wedding day. We used Chantilly Chic Celebrations for the design of the wedding as well and they were able to create a classy venue encorporating the bride and grooms’ rustic chic theme. When the wedding day arrived I was confident that all the planning was complete and we were able to relax and really enjoy the day. Melanie and her team worked tirelessly during wedding day and did much more behind the scenes to create a perfect wedding experience.

ally speaking with Melanie from Chantilly Chic. Melanie was friendly, passionate, funny, and she took the time to get to know ME as a person (not just as the bride) during our first phone call. I have never laughed so much with someone I just met. About a week later, Melanie reached out to me and she was genuinely excited about my wedding. As Melanie came to find out, I am pretty indecisive and it can take me forever to make a decision and stick with it, but the extra effort from Melanie made me feel like she genuinely cared for me and that I could put the most important day of my life into her hands! Choosing Melanie from Chantilly Chic to be our wedding planner was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. Melanie is very organized and she was able to motivate me and keep me on track during the wedding planning process. During our first in person meet up she presented me with the sweetest gift basket and wooed me even more. We discussed my vision, my priorities, things I absolutely needed at my wedding, colors, flowers, you name it. I did not realize how much really goes into planning a wedding and sometimes I became overwhelmed quickly. After getting to know Melanie and once I knew she truly understood my vision, I gave up some control in order to stay calm during the planning process. Melanie had a list of her trusted local vendors that she had me look through in the goal of me choosing the vendors. After weeks of indecision and stress, I finally had to tell Melanie that I trusted her and I wanted her to choose the vendors for me. I was thrilled with every vendor Melanie chose because my wedding was absolutely perfect. Melanie was always very patient with me and I swear she has to have some training in psychology because I always felt amazing, relaxed, and ready to take over the world after I spoke to her. If there's anything you want done, Melanie will make it happen for you. She treated my wedding as if it was her own and I could always feel that she had my best interest at heart. My fiancé once said that Melanie was his "security blanket" when we had to meet with a vendor without Melanie there! When it came to the final stretch, one night my fiancé and I decided we wanted a violinist one week before the wedding. Melanie had a contract emailed to us THE NEXT MORNING! Three days before the wedding, it was clear that weather conditions were not going to be ideal and we would need a tent. Within hours, Melanie had a contract sent to me and a whole new ceremony layout ready. Everyone at the wedding was so impressed with Melanie and how she made sure that everything went perfectly. I wish that I could relive that day over and over because it was the happiest day of my life. I remember the day after our wedding, I felt sad that I would no longer be talking to Melanie every week! Melanie is an amazing wedding planner, but first and foremost, she is an amazing person with a huge heart and the best personality. She has been sweet enough to stay in touch with me, even with all the stress I probably put her through. I had a wedding that was more beautiful than anything I could have ever dreamed of- all because of Melanie. We are so blessed to have her in our life! We love you Melanie :)

tely above and beyond with everything! I was absolutely blown away when I walked onto the property of our venue. It was STUNNING! It was more than I could have ever dreamed of. She relieved so much pressure and stress off of my shoulders. She is so down to earth and easy to get along with. You will not be disappointed hiring Chantilly Chic. I highly recommend them if you're looking for any kind of wedding planner!

catered so uniquely to us. Thank you so very much Chantilly Chic!

had just quit on us due to a family situation, so needless to say, I was freaking out! As soon as Melanie and I started chatting, she made me feel calm and confident that everything would still turn out perfect. She has the sweetest personality and knows how to communicate to all types of people, a true professional. Now, I have three jobs, so I told Melanie that I didn’t want to make any phone calls or deal with any emails from vendors because I didn’t have time nor wanted to deal with the stress of it all. So we hired Chantilly Chic Celebrations for the full planning of our wedding and Melanie could not have done anything better. She was everything I needed and more! She was beyond organized, down to color coding (which made my OCD so happy) and constantly updating the calendar and budget to keep me updated and informed. I also have a hard time imagining the bigger picture, i.e. How the table arrangements and flowers would look. So Melanie sent me many pictures and emails to help me make determinations. And if I still wasn’t getting it from the pictures, she set up meetings with the vendors so I could view everything in person. Literally every little detail was taken so well care of. The week of the wedding, I was a giant stress ball. Melanie kept me calm and reminded me she had total control over everything. On the wedding day, I was an emotional wreck. All of the vendors showed up on time and completely prepared thanks to Melanie’s coordinating. Before the ceremony, I was pretty much hyperventilating with all the emotions and Melanie played a little game with me to help me breathe and calm down. After the ceremony and the pictures, it was time to walk into our reception venue. I was BLOWN AWAY! The venue was PERFECT! Somehow, Melanie crawled inside my mind and made my exact vision come to life! The lights, tables, cake, flowers, chairs, everything was perfect! Melanie came up with the most creative escort cards too! The night ran so smoothly because Melanie and her team (assistants were included in her affordable pricing) had every minute down to a science. You know how you have those friends that are invited to every wedding and they’re pretty much wedding attendee professionals; I had those people tell me, after the fact, that they kept waiting for that one thing to go wrong as it does at most weddings, but that moment never happened at our wedding! NOTHING went wrong thanks to Chantilly Chic Celebrations! I am so happy that Melanie was a wedding planner angel sent to me to make my wedding dreams come true! I recommend CCC to ANYONE who is getting married! Hire them to plan EVERYTHING and make your life a million times easier! With CCC behind you, you can enjoy every little moment because you know perfection is about to happen!

ngs very organized and coordinated with the vendors, I didn’t have a thing to worry about. I highly recommend Crystal for her services and of all the wedding expenses you will be very happy with the comfort of not worry about anything on your wedding day!

run smoothly day of and took so much of the stress off of our plate. The morning of our completely outdoor wedding it was nasty and raining but Crystal kept her game face on the whole time and pulled everything together once the rain stopped. Trust me when I say that you need to book them for your wedding! Crystal and her team made the day absolutely perfect! I would recommend them to anyone!

tie; needless to say I was very overwhelmed. From the moment I had my first phone call with Melanie and Kelly, I was immediately put at ease. Our first call was well over an hour and I felt like they had walked through every single detail of the upcoming day. Following our first call, they immediately assisted in booking all of my final vendors and walked through every single design detail with me. They reached out to all of my existing vendors and got everyone on the same page. The communication with the team was constant, immediate and flawless. I thought it was so nice to be CC’ed on all communication, as I never felt like I was out of the loop, Melanie and Kelly were always keeping me informed. They also produced the most detailed timeline for the day-of weeks in advance; we continued to finesse it based on our needs leading up to the big day. As the day approached, we were forecasted to have very cold and rainy weather and we had a fully outdoor wedding planned. Melanie kept me calm and collective and in the days leading up to the wedding, she helped me construct a backup plan. We contracted heaters; we did walk-throughs of backup spaces. The day came and luckily it stopped raining just in time for the ceremony, but we had to move our planned park ceremony (lawn was destroyed) to my family’s backyard patio. Melanie and Kelly directed all of the vendors while I was getting ready and she kept my bridesmaids informed of changing details. Many brides would have been freaking out and upset about the weather developments and all of the last minute change, but Melanie and Kelly improvised fabulously, communicated flawlessly and put together the most fairy-tale like backyard ceremony you could imagine. The guests were blown away by how beautiful the ceremony was and so were my husband and I. The rest of the night went along so smoothly and every little detail was in place. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun and beautiful wedding from beginning to end. I am just blown away by the attention to detail and attentiveness of the CCC team, they truly helped put me at ease so that I could enjoy my wedding. My husband and I are forever grateful for the services that the CCC team provided us, they went above and beyond for us. Melanie and Kelly, thank you for helping us plan our dream wedding, you guys were so amazing to work with. Joe + Tori

were never brought to my attention and resolved without me or my husband ever knowing. Hire her. You need her. My only regret was not hiring her sooner. and to handle more! THANK YOU CHANTILLY CHIC!

et them the day of). The other was they were one of more affordable wedding coordinators. Melanie was extremely thorough and i was able to talk on the phone (many times!) as well as meet with her in person prior to our wedding day. We had a very stressful planning process( we had to switch venues less then 30 days before our wedding day). Melanie was very supportive and helpful. She is very organized, easy to talk to, thorough, and hard working! She had really great recommendations and did an awesome job communicating with all our vendors and putting together a day of timeline. We are so thankful she was apart of our special day especially with so many last minute changes! I highly recommend CCC to help coordinate your wedding day!!!

had near Lakeland. Melanie kept in constant contact with me throughout the months, handled all of the coordinating with the vendors and the venue, and took every opportunity to save me money where she could along the way. She kept track of all of the details, and always made sure that it was according to whatever vision I had in mind. The day of the wedding I was a bundle of nerves, but Melanie took care of everything! She worked with the venue to help setup and clean up afterwards, she took great care of my guests and wedding party, and did all of the decorating and it was absolutely gorgeous! Above all of that she was always very professional, dedicated, and most of all, offered the best in moral support and guidance during one of the biggest events of our lives. I couldn't of imagined having a wedding as beautiful as ours, and Melanie is completely to thank for that. In summary, if you are considering hiring CCC for your planning needs, you will not be disappointed in doing so!

took a ton of the load off us and really helped with the vendor communication. If you are on the fence about getting a planner I can tell you I would not have done it any other way. Look no further! CCC is a must for your wedding.

y saving grace. My wedding was beyond beautiful and was everything I ever wanted and more. They are both so caring and sweet. I loved all the creative touches they added to the wedding. I originally wanted a cake table for our wedding, but Melanie suggested doing individual cakes as our centerpieces on our tables! GENIUS! It was cost effective and everyone loved it! I hired them both as day of coordinators, but they were more than willing to let me contact them with questions and suggestions in the months leading up to the wedding. It great, because Melanie is based out of Tampa and Crystal out of Lakeland. I never once felt like my questions or ideas were silly. I can't thank you ladies enough! Colby and I are still getting compliments on our wedding day almost 4 months later!

was running. The bride highly recommended that I hire them as wedding planners and we never looked back from that moment, I knew I had to have them help us with ours. I couldn't even begin to thank Melanie and Crystal enough for how they organized our wedding. They are both extremely friendly and easy to work with. They did an exceptional job listening to what we wanted and making it happen. Our day went flawlessly. Even if there was an issue they made sure that we had no idea and that our fun didn't stop the whole night. Anyone that asks me for wedding advice will be immediately pointed in their direction. I know that our wedding wouldn't have gone as smoothly as we had wanted without their relentless efforts. Thank you both so much for everything!!!!

ht was lifted off of my shoulders. Melanie was so quick to answer emails, texts, and phone calls about any question I had. She put together a whole schedule for our wedding day, and it was super helpful and made the day run so smoothly. Melanie got in contact with all of our vendors, and let them know when to arrive and where to go. She went above and beyond to make sure our day ran smoothly and put in so much effort. My venue had suggested hiring a day-of coordinator and I was on the fence for a long time, and felt like it just wasn't planned in my budget and wasn't worth the money, I couldn't have been more wrong. If I could go back, I would've hired Melanie long before I did! Of all of my vendors, and people I worked with and spoke to throughout the wedding planning process, Melanie was by far the best, she couldn't have done a better job. Hiring Melanie from CCC was by far the best decision I made during the planning process!! I could not recommend her enough!

re everything was going according to my vision. I found Chantilly Chic Celebration online and after speaking to Melanie, I got a good vibe and knew I had to hire her. Melanie is so experienced, well organized, friendly, professional and an added bonus we became fast friends. She has the best ideas and due to her hard work my wedding day was so beautiful, memorable, and a 5 star event. She was my voice to make sure our wedding day was exactly as we wished it to be. I had no added stress because I knew she was overseeing everything. My family and friends were also so impressed by her work ethic, attention to detail, and how nice she was. Now when I speak to a bride to be, the first piece of advise I give is to get a wedding planner. If you are considering hiring Chantilly Chic Celebration, don't overthink it. Do it. It will help alleviate the stress of planning a wedding and allow you to focus more on the wedding day and your union.

ere is so much you don't think of as a bride and I am forever grateful to Melanie and Crystal for covering every base. Our meetings were light and fun yet organized and thorough, there was an immediate friendship formed between us. As a bride planning a wedding can be very stressful, however, whenever I began to feel overwhelmed CCC took over and allowed me to take a step back and enjoy the process. The day of my wedding everything was perfect I did not lift a finger. (Which is hard for me) but knowing they understood my vision allowed me to leave it all in their hands. It was the most beautiful set up I have ever seen , my guests are still raving about the details. Despite Mother Nature trying to put a damper on the day - Melanie and crystal changed my outdoor wedding plans to inside the tent within seconds. I don't know how they do it but they were life savers. I would HIGHLY recommend CCC to anyone! I would have been lost without them. Now that the wedding is over I miss our daily texts & calls! Who can say that about a vendor? Thank you Melanie & Crystal for going above and beyond for my husband and I. I am forever grateful for the work you did for us, and the friendship formed over the past year .

timeline, setting up all of my crazy decor or just being there for me emotionally, the day wouldn't have been the same with out you. Words can not describe how amazing Mel and Crystal are, and I will continually recommend them to any bride or party host if they want an amazing, stress-free wedding/ party day. The professionalism and care are exuded through the final product as well as time and attention they give to each individual to customize their experience. Many, many thanks; I will never forget how fabulous the both of you are! ~ E & M

y due to how organized she and her team were. It was a great feeling to be worry free on our big day and truly enjoy it! I would not hesitate to recommend Chantilly Chic to anyone - they were worth every penny!

houghtful our coordinator was. 8 weeks before the wedding Melanie took all of our contracts and made adjustments with vendors (and trust me there were a lot of adjustment and a lot of vendors), she created the most thought out detailed timeline for the day of, she did a final walk threw of the venue with me to make sure everything was perfect, she even gave us a few little gifts through out the planning process. The amount of experience and quality of her advice is unmatched; in fact out only regret is not taking all of her advice!

were very easy to get in touch with. They were easy going and worked well with changes through out the wedding night. I would recommend them to everyone getting married. Their skills are a true talent!
