Chantilly Chic Celebrations

THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL and EFFCIENCY. Catie is extremely organized and pays attention to details. There were a few times I had forgotten or messed up my seating chart, meals, numbers etc - everytime Catie caught it and flagged it. Catie also last minute helped us source another option for a stage or alternatives when we found out the week of our wedding that our band could not find on the provided stage by the venue. She did all of this while being incredibly nice, calm, and accommodating.

Hiring Chantilly Chic Celebrations was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. After the initial consult, we knew how much we needed them and it helped so much to have Lori take on the role of finalizing details with vendors and putting timelines and agendas and all of the tiny details that we would have never thought of. As stressful as planning a wedding is, Lori helped us so much with everything and we are so grateful. The team is amazing, kind, and they make a huge effort to be aware of the couple they are working with. We’re a same sex couple and I appreciate the advocating they did on our behalf to make sure vendors were using the right pronouns and that we got the wedding day we wanted. We have nothing but good things to say and you should go with them to help plan your wedding.

Hiring Chantilly Chic Celebrations was my best wedding planning decision. Before I booked, I had a thorough phone meeting with Melanie. I had spoken to several other planners by that point and she stood out immediately. She was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the value in the services CCC offered. We booked coordination services and Lori was our lead planner. Lori has an amazing eye for detail, and really helped us stay on track to achieve the vision we wanted for our wedding day. Lori is also an excellent communicator who is proactive, level-headed, and resourceful…exactly what you would want in a wedding planner! She is also really nice and easy to work with, which goes a long way when you feel frazzled from wedding planning. The rehearsal and wedding day went perfectly. I had several members of my wedding party comment how organized and great Lori was. Her assistants were equally nice and prepared. We received a detailed timeline and knew just what to expect on the day of the wedding. Lori also made sure each of our vendors knew the plan and timeline for the day and confirmed all details, big and small, so there were no surprises or hiccups. On our wedding day, we had total confidence in Lori and her team. Thanks to the plan she organized and executed, we were able to just be present and enjoy the beauty of the long-awaited day. I am so happy with my experience working with CCC and Lori, and will sing their praises in the years to come to any friends and family planning a wedding! Book them - you will not regret it!

CCC was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! We hired CCC for coordination for our 150 person wedding. Melanie was incredibly responsive during the entire planning process and Lori went above and beyond as our lead planner! Lori was super detail oriented, communicative, and always brought a great positive and calm energy. We received SO many compliments from our other vendors about how great Lori was - a true testament to her organization and communication! Our day flowed seamlessly and everyone (bridal party, vendors, etc) knew exactly where to be and what to do. The team was so helpful throughout the process and very knowledgeable about local vendors, last minute needs, contracts, our venue, etc. We had many small details planned for our wedding and the CCC team executed perfectly. I was able to be fully present and really enjoy our wedding day because I confidently knew Lori and her team were handling everything exactly how I'd want it to be handled! Lori was a true advocate for us and our vision - it's clear they care so much about their couples. Book them and you will not regret it!!

I wish I could go back to working with Melanie and her whole chantilly chic team! I used Melanie for her full plan services on planning my wedding. Our wedding consisted of a very large guest list, intricate and detail oriented plans and ideas. With having over 250 people and a 15 company vendor list. She made this wedding the most easy going experience I could’ve ever wished for. From her confidence in day one that this wedding would go off flawlessly without a hitch to wedding day, I could not recommend her more. She provided everything I needed and handled all of the nitty gritty information with making sure the flow of the day worked with all of the set up needed from the different vendors. This wedding was one for the books and it is all thanks to this company! If you’re looking for a girl who knows her stuff, Melanie is her! I could keep going on about my experience with Mel, and If I could give her 10 stars, I would! Love her and her whole team!

Lori and the CCC team were INCREDIBLE. They eliminated all the stress from our big day and helped us manage all our vendors and family members to create the vision that we had for our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend them to plan your weddings!

Crystal was absolutely incredible. We hired Crystal as our month of coordinator, and she did the most amazing job. From helping us finalize layout details, to organizing all of the vendor's set-up and clean-up details, she made our wedding day a breeze. Not to mention she is genuinely such a sweet person and a joy to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Crystal!!!

There aren’t enough words to express how grateful and happy we were to book Melanie with CCC to be our wedding planner! She is so detail oriented and able to understand a Pinterest board and bring it to life! Our wedding was absolutely stunning down to all the small details she put in/thought of. We highly recommend booking them for any event planning needs, they will not disappoint!

Where to even begin!!! Melanie and the entire team at Chantilly Chic truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical!! Working with Melanie was amazing from the very start. She knows her stuff, and was so instrumental in guiding us through the unknowns of the wedding planning process. Her vendor connections and relationships were so helpful and she made the everything so much easier for us. We felt so comfortable with her steering our ship, and knew we would be taken care of!! She was amazing at making sure every single little detail was accounted for, and ensured that everything went so smoothly on wedding day. We truly felt so wonderful and lucky to have her with us throughout this journey!!

Book CCC ASAP! I can’t believe I ever even questioned whether or not I needed a wedding planner. I realized very quickly that we could not have done it without CCC! Lori and her assistant Meg get every bit of credit for us being able to enjoy our wedding day and the 2 months leading up to it. This time period can become so hectic and stressful. Watching all of their hard work behind the scenes makes you realize a professional must be involved in the process! These two were so kind, caring, timely, trustworthy, reliable, etc. We loved every second of working with them!

EXCEPTIONAL!!! When my husband and I got engaged, the first thing I did was set out to find a wedding planner. Trust me, I did all the due diligence – I talked to many planners in the area, talked to my friends, wondered if it’s necessary – and I have to tell you, getting a wedding planner is a MUST and Chantilly Chic Celebrations are hands down THE BEST! I am forever grateful I found Melanie! She is an incredible person and a true expert in her field, she is so organized, professional and well-connected and made the wedding planning process incredibly easy. She knew the best vendors and had the best recommendations, and the wedding day was a BREEZE thanks to her and her team. We truly had the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t have done it without her. THANK YOU MELANIE AND TEAM!!!

Highly recommended! Chantilly Chic Celebrations was top notch! Lori was excellent, we could not have done it without her! She really got to know us and made sure every detail that was important to us was executed. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!

I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with both Catie & Melanie. They both went above and beyond when it came to making sure that everything was as we envisioned our wedding to be. I was initially hesitant on hiring a wedding planner, since our venue provided a wedding coordinator, but I can't imagine not having Catie and Melanie's help. They were so precise and made sure everything was perfect! My sister was our "point of contact" the day of, and she continues to compliment how much they were on top of everything. I honestly don't know what I would do without their help- they are a must! :)

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator whether it be day of or full planning please stop looking and hire Chantilly Chic now!! They are hands down one of the best in the business and I cannot say enough nice things about them. We hired Melanie for our Day of Coordination and she was beyond WONDERFUL!! She took the reigns from us about 8 weeks out and we did not have to worry about a single thing. She was able to corral all of our vendors and help our vision come to life! She is thorough, her attention to detail is beyond words, and above everything else you can tell she genuinely cares about you and the outcome of your big day. Without her I don't think our day would have gone as smoothly as it did!! We left not only feeling on top of the world but like we gained a new friend in the process :) From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank Melanie and her team enough for all that they did for us to make our dream day as special as it was!

First off let me just start by saying you can stop looking for a wedding planner/day of coordinator because Chantilly Chic Celebrations is hands down the most fabulous, professional, creative, fun, on top of it ladies you can get your hands on for the most special day of you life. Melanie and Catie were both the leads with my wedding and seriously they took care of everything…. Like everything! We ended up doing the day of coordinator package which comes with 8WEEKS of their attention and expertise and they’re just perfect in every way. Communication was there and they were able to help wrangle all my ideas and vendors I had for everything to come together so smoothly. They have charisma and charm and will make you feel on top of the world the entire way through! I can only wish that everyone in this world can have the experience I did with them!!

We could not have asked for better with Lori. Meg, and Crystal. From start to finish the experience was top notch. Every detail of our day was planned for and executed without flaw. Lori did SO much in the two months she worked with us. We could not imagine our day without her and her team. My wedding week was stress-free and that is 100% thanks to these ladies!!

The best thing we did for our wedding was hiring Melanie with Chantilly Chic Celebrations! She made my dream design ideas come to life! She helped me organize, coordinate, and design. I couldn't imagine going through wedding planning without her. My mom and I looked forward to the monthly meetings with her. Chantilly Chic Celebrations helped me coordinate my dream wedding! My wedding was almost a year ago and when I look back I have the biggest smile on my face. Melanie is very professional and will help you stay organized but also super fun! She will stay focused on what is important to you as a bride and groom for your special day. If you are in doubt please book Chantilly Chic celebrations for your next wedding!!!

I worked with Crystal for about 2 months leading up to my wedding and on my wedding day… she was incredible!! I cannot over recommend their services. She is so kind and thoughtful. Everything flowed so smoothly thanks to CCCs help. They truly think of everything… Having their help allowed me to sit back and enjoy my wedding week, knowing everything was being cared for. We got to truly be present on our wedding day - I didn’t lift a finger and it all turned out exactly as I had envisioned. CCC is amazing- if you pursue their services, you will not be disappointed!!

Hiring Chantilly chic was the best decision I made! Lori was able to take a lot off my hands and guided me to the right direction. I had all my vendors booked and she contacted everyone to coordinate everything for me. Lori kept me calm when I was feeling overwhelmed with everything that a wedding consisted of. She was extremely detailed and asked questions you would never think of. She was on top of everything single detail big and small. She checked my orders to make sure everything was correct from the amount of table lines to the amount of flowers that needed to be there. She was extremely organized and gave me to do lists at some of our meetings. Having a coordinator was the best decision I made. I could not have asked for a better wedding day. Every single person was so helpful. Melanie at the church ready to keep me from crying To Lori absolutely crushing it and making my dreams come true. You guys are the BEST!!

I cannot recommend CCC enough! We chose the package that had their services beginning two months before our wedding to day-of. From start to finish, Lori (our lead planner) was on top of everything. We really didn’t have to do anything once she took over because she had it handled. Her communication is fantastic. We never had to chase her for information and she always got back to us within a day or two (usually just a day was our experience). She created *very* detailed timelines for each vendor, the groom’s party, and the bridal party that allowed everything to flow so smoothly the day of our wedding. To be frank, if you’re looking for coordinators, stop your search right here because you will not be disappointed with CCC (especially Lori!).

The best of the best! They made my wedding day so perfect, could not recommend them and our planner Kaleigh more!

I am speechless. Chantilly Chic was one of the first venders we hired after I met with Mel. We hit it off right off the bat and I knew I could trust her from the start. Lori, was assigned to me as my day of coordinator. When I say I am an organized person...haha I was proven completely wrong. Lori CRUSHED it, just wow. Everything was beyond organized, all the venders knew exactly what to do and where to be along with everyone in the bridal party. Every single person in my party commented how this was the most smooth wedding they have ever been a part of. We had no problems, if we did, I didn't even know about it. Because of this my family, spouse and guests had the most PERFECT day. I cannot recommend Chantilly Chic enough!

My husband and I started working with Melanie back in late 2019 for a wedding that was initially scheduled for late 2020. COVID unfortunately forced us to pivot, which did a number on our overall morale. Nevertheless, Melanie's optimism kept us motivated and excited about our wedding. Not only was she responsive, she was also very empathetic towards our circumstances and had our best interests in mind with every move she made. Her preferred vendors are also very reflective of her character because they were all a joy to work with. Most importantly, she is super down to earth and on top of EVERYTHING (even our guests commented on this)! Thanks to her and the CCC team, we were able to have the wedding we have dreamed of and more in late 2021. Overall, we have nothing but positive things to say about Melanie and her team, and would highly recommend CCC's services!

We are a same-sex male couple that experienced several Covid related delays. We hired CC in 2020 in order to help us with the last 8 weeks leading up to the wedding. We had to delay the wedding twice and they coordinated with all our vendors to get everything rescheduled. When it was actually time to get married, Chantilly Chic went above and beyond. Chantilly Chic, and especially Lori, were fantastic! Being a same-sex couple, they understood our needs were a little different than a heterosexual couple and made us feel very welcomed and included. Lori spent the time to listen to our ideas, take meticulous notes, and come up with detailed agendas. She was very communicative to us, and was flexible when we needed it. She listened to our vision, and executed on it flawlessly so the day of the wedding was not stressful at all! We can’t imagine having our wedding without Lori.

I cannot say enough how incredible Lori and the CCC team is! Lori was my day-of coordinator for my wedding on 10/9/21. I started working with her about 8 weeks out. She was incredible from start to finish! She was so on top of everything and ensured that no details were missed! I contemplated for a long time if it was worth it to hire a day-of coordinator. If that is you and you are back and forth on whether or not to spend the money, DO IT! Lori and the CCC team was worth every penny and more! I was able to enjoy my wedding without stressing the details because I knew I could trust Lori to ensure everything came together according to plan! Lori and the CCC team, thank you SO much for making my wedding a dream come true!

The Chantilly team did an amazing job helping me put my wedding together. I was paired with Crystal and she was always very responsive, detailed and organized. She was very familiar with my wedding venue and had lots of great suggestions I incorporated on my wedding day. I highly recommend the ladies at Chantilly Chic Celebrations.

Melanie and her team at CCC are life changers! Seriously. The best day of our lives was constructed, planned, and organized by this team. Melanie assists with great care. When I was searching for a planner in the Tampa Bay Area I met with Melanie and immediately knew she was eager to execute our vision. And that she did! My wedding felt like a fairytale. I was able to enjoy our wedding because I deeply trusted Melanie to execute: she provided each member of the bridal party and vendor a personalized day of timeline! I knew nothing would be missed or forgotten. But most importantly, we found a friend in Melanie! I’m sad our constant emails will be no longer but I can’t wait to sit back and watch how many more lives she and her team touches ❤️ If you are in the market for a planner, I urge you to reach out and consult with this team. I promise you’ll be so glad you did!

Absolutely fantastic experience and service. Chantilly was recommended to me by my reception venue along with the few others. I had zoom meetings with 3 different companies, Melanie’s (the Owner) experience and excitement won me over. We went with the full planning package and I thank God I did! I received questionnaires so we could prioritize our budget, as well as book certain vendors first. She set me up with an amazing team of vendors, kept us organized, on time, and on budget. Honestly, even if I didn’t do anything, she would’ve made my wedding perfect all by herself! Everyone tells you on your wedding day to expect a couple things to go wrong. That was not true for me, everything went perfect! Melanie, her team, her itinerary, communication, and hard work made everything run smoothly. Plus my husband said there was never a time where a drink wasn’t in his hand! We received so many many compliments and all I can do is direct them to Chantilly Chic and Melanie. She took my vision and made it 10x better than I ever could have. I would recommend her to any and everyone! Thank you Chantilly Chic, you made my favorite day even more perfect than I dreamed.

I chose the event management package, and Kaleigh was my lead planner. She was AMAZING! So organized, on top of it, and quickly felt like a good friend! She was soo helpful in coordinating all of my vendors for all things day-of, and when it came time to "let go" and stop worrying about my own wedding, I was SO happy I had her to take care of the last minute details and coordination! Melanie and her team are trustworthy and total experts at all things wedding planning!!! :)

Melanie from Chantilly Chic and her assistant (I'm sorry I cant remember her name right now) were absolutely AMAZING. The attention to details, attention to timelines, her organization skills were way above what I expected. They made sure that EVERYTHING ran smoothly and it DID. This was our second wedding in 9 months (2 daughters) and even though she did not due our previous wedding (which I HIGHLY regret not hiring her for that) she made sure that everything with this wedding went up and beyond our expectations. Her eye to details, layout and style is outstanding. You can't go wrong with hiring Melanie from Chantilly Chic. You will be amazed at her professionalism and the best part of it all is she is a hoot to have around. Funny and not stuffy... You will love her...

Chantilly Chic Celebrations is a MUST!!! I get it, you think spending the money on a wedding planner just isn’t in your budget, but what’s not in your budget is spending all this money on a wedding day that you don’t get to enjoy cause you are busy trying to be your own wedding planner. To sum it up, Melanie and Crystal are as caring and kind as your mom, as supportive and reassuring as your sister and as helpful and considerate as your best friend. These ladies have YOUR best interests in mind when helping you plan for your wedding day. They are extremely quick to answer all of my phone calls, texts and emails. As soon as a crisis hit, they were there to help me out and keep me calm. Lets face it, wedding planning sucks, but these ladies make it so easy and fun. They have incredible opinions and are exceptionally qualified. They know what works and what doesn’t work. They are there to offer their opinions and help you but always allow you to make all of the decisions since its YOUR day! Crystal was seriously exactly what I needed as a wedding planner. I know my wedding would have never been as amazing as it was if she wasn't the wedding planner. She always allowed me to chose each option and always gave me different options! As for the day of, Crystal kept the show running so nicely behind the scenes! She made sure everything ran so smoothly from the second it started till the second it ended. We were on time for everything and not a thing went wrong!!! Soooo stress free!!!! I got so many props on how incredibly organized and efficient the wedding was. She was there early and stayed late to help clean up. It was everything I could have ever asked for and more! She took my dream and made it a reality. She made my wedding day SO STRESS FREE! And at the end of the day, that is the most important thing…for you to enjoy your day and that is something you can’t put a price tag on. So just spend the money and hire CCC….you won’t be disappointed!!!

I hired Melanie to help me navigate the insane world of wedding planning. She was absolutely fabulous! She went above and beyond to ensure everything leading up to my big day was hassle-free and my actual wedding day was perfect. I've truly never 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!

After a rough start to the wedding planning process, I was so relieved when we booked Chantilly Chic Celebrations. Crystal was the yang to my yin. She was always on top of everything, super detailed oriented and had this amazing calming effect 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.

Melanie was by far the best wedding planner my husband and I could have ever asked for!! She was very organized and kept us on task the entire wedding planning process. She knew vendors who fit our aesthetic and vibe for our wedding who perfectly 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.

Chantilly Chic made all of our wedding dreams and ideas come true! Honestly have no idea how we would have ever been able to do this alone. They took all of our worries and concerns and handled them with care and even offered wonderful suggestions 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!

Crystal and Melanie really blew us out of the water! I thought I could plan my wedding entirely on my own and by time I realized I needed help to bring everything to fruition, we were ONE MONTH out from the wedding. They kicked it into high gear for us to really make our day perfect and special. I can't recommend them enough. Pro tip: hire them from the beginning!

Above and Beyond. Melanie, Sydney and the entire staff at CCC made our wedding day dreams come true. They were there for us (and my sanity) every step of the way and it made all the difference in the world. As an event planner myself I was a bit 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.

I could not say enough good things about these women! I worked closely with both Melanie and Sydney for my event management package for my late February wedding. Sydney was absolutely flawless. She executed everything perfectly and took care of 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!

Our experience with Chantilly Chic was phenomenal. We went into the process wary about hiring a planner, but Melanie convinced us in our first conversation. We chose the 8-week package, but she made recommendations for vendors and checked in with 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.

We loved working with Chantilly Chic through our wedding. Sydney was so helpful during the stressful times. I can't begin to tell you how many questions she asked for items we had not even thought about. They also had a bunch of recommendations 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!

Chantilly Chic by far exceeded our expectations with starting 3 months before our wedding date, communicated with us regularly regarding all details, vendors, questions and our vision. Sydney and Melanie were very detail-oriented and went above 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!

My wife and I got married on January 11, 2020 and it was exactly as magical as people tell you it is. Melanie Barker at CCC had our backs from the beginning. Even though our contract started in November, when we signed in July she was there to 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.

Melanie blew us away from the moment we had our first phone conversation! She was so personable, enthusiastic, and helpful. She took the time to really get to know us. She wanted to do whatever she could to help us get all the details right and 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

TROPICAL STORM NESTOR. Did that get your attention? It barely phased us as the bride and groom because we had Sydney and Melanie by our side for our destination wedding in Treasure Island in October 2019. My husband and I live in Indiana, but 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.

Melanie and her team were amazing! They handled my daughter’s wedding like a dream. Kaitlin was our main coordinator and she did a fantastic job. She was super attentive and extremely detail oriented. She handled all the details of her wedding and I got to relax and enjoy the day! Thank you ladies so much for making my daughters day so enjoyable and memorable!

Stop searching. You've found the perfect day-of-coordinator: Sydney from Chantilly Chic. I'm the bride who second guessed everything, I knew what I wanted, but couldn't seem to pull the trigger on anything...in fear I'd make the wrong decision. 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.

My day was magical and it was all thanks to Melanie from Chantilly Chic Celebrations. We went with her full planning service and she helped us from day one. She arranged my venue tours, provided multiple different options in my budget for every 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.

I can't even begin to describe how fabulous our experience with the partial plan was. When I found Melanie in October 2018, I had already booked my venue, photographer, and DJ and that was about it. My wedding date was in July 2019. My venue 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.

We are SO grateful for Melanie and her team!!! They served as day-of coordinators for my son and daughter in laws wedding July, 2019. They are great to work with. Never pushy. Always listen to you and your ideas and provide suggestions based on 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!!!!!!

I don't think I could ever express how happy my husband and I were to have Melanie help with our special day. Melanie was great at communicating with everyone involved so that every vendor and member of the wedding party was on the same page. 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.

I did a destination wedding, which brings a certain level of uncertainty! Melanie understood my vision from afar and executed beyond my expectations. She made all the right recommendations on vendors, music, etc. I couldn't imagine not having her throughout our entire planning process. I HIGHLY recommend working with her and her team.

Melanie is absolutely wonderful! She not only really listens to what you envision for your wedding, but she makes it happen! She provides you with recommendations for vendors, all of which were outstanding, and she gives you advice as well as ideas 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

Melanie was amazing from start to finished, she kept me calm and relaxed the whole day. The reception was set up more perfect than I could have imagined! She handled everything behind the scenes and helped my day run so smoothly.

Okay so planning for our wedding on our own was much harder than we thought. If you have a vision you definitely need to hire someone who has experience and will help make your dream wedding come true. With that being said if you’re reading this 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!

Melanie was our wedding planner and she was awesome! I live in Louisiana and was planning my Tampa wedding from afar. Melanie had everything super organized and always made sure I was not stressed out. I can honestly say that wedding day went off 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

Melanie was such a pleasure to work with! She was so organized and always so willing to go the extra mile. She and Crystal​ made the day run seamlessly and I would recommend them to anyone!

The best decision we made during our wedding plan process was hiring Melanie from CCC. We did the full plan package which made finding the best vendors in our budget so easy! All we had to do was send over to Melanie what we wanted and she sent 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!
