Working with Melissa was an absolute dream! From the first consultation, she clearly listened to our vision and helped us bring it to life with creativity and expertise. She is inc...
redible organizational skills kept everything moving smoothly, and they managed all the vendors flawlessly. On our wedding day, we felt completely at ease knowing Melissa was handling every detail, allowing us to fully enjoy the moment without a single worry. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding planner!
I honestly can't recommend Melissa enough. Not only is she an amazing wedding planner, but she's also a great friend who knows me and Dakota so well. She made the whole planning pr...
ocess feel personal and stress-free, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—especially considering we pulled this whole thing off in less than 6 months!
From the very beginning, Melissa really took the time to understand what we wanted, and it was so much more than just a typical wedding. She brought ideas to the table that we never would’ve thought of, but once she did, we couldn’t imagine not having them.
What really made our wedding stand out, though, was how she made everything feel so *us*. She mixed in creative, non-traditional elements with personal touches that made the day feel unique and special. There were so many moments that just felt like they were pulled straight from our love story.
On top of all that, she was such a calming, supportive presence throughout the whole process. She knew exactly when to step in with a solution and when to let us enjoy the ride. If you want a planner who will give you a wedding that’s as unique and meaningful as your relationship, Melissa is your person.
Thanks to her, our wedding was absolutely perfect—fun, full of love, and something we’ll never forget.
Melissa is AMAZING!
She was responsive, communicatory, great with problem solving, and understood our vision completely. We had a tight budget alongside a large list of needs and...
she managed to help us get everything sorted and executed perfectly. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without it her. She poured so much of herself into our wedding and her positive energy and creative thinking really showed throughout the festivities.
We had a 10/10 experience and would highly recommend her.
I was not only the father of the bride but the officiant of the wedding of my daughter. Melissa and crew made the whole affair transparent and I will absolutely hire her for my oth...
er two daughters’ weddings. Such a joy to work with and completely handled all emergencies so none of us had to worry about any of them. It really felt like a collaborative effort all around. It only took minutes on the day of the wedding to know that "she has this". 100% recommended.
Melissa & Mike Blackheart were amazing! They made our wedding the most fun, smoothest, headache-free day. I will suggest feather and lace for any friends and family.
We cannot speak more highly of Melissa as our coordinator (emergency turned planner!). She quite literally saved our wedding, and possibly our relationship, after our first venue f...
ell apart. She made sure everything was just right and went far above and beyond anything we could have hoped for! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else be able to measure up and match our vision for our day the way Feather and Laces had.
Melissa and Mike did a phenomenal job as “Day-of” coordinators for our wedding! In the month before our wedding, Melissa took over all communications with vendors and worked tirele...
ssly to ensure that everyone was on the same page for a smooth wedding day. This really helped to relieve a lot of stress for us! Her communication with us was excellent, and she also went above-and-beyond to understand and match the vibe/theme that we were trying to achieve at our wedding! On the day of our wedding, Melissa and Mike perfectly coordinated everyone, despite us having multiple groups of people at multiple different locations throughout the day. The whole wedding day went off without a hitch, and we were able to fully enjoy the events of the day while Melissa and Mike made sure everything ran silky-smooth! We give Feather and Lace Weddings our highest recommendation possible for any wedding!
In my career as a DJ I've never met a coordinator as professional, caring and have such an attention for detail as Melissa demonstrated on a wedding we were both apart of. She was ...
so easy to work with, and communicated in such a good way, we were able to work together and make this day such a success. If you are looking for a wedding coordinator, go straight to Melissa from Feather and Lace. If you are a vendor working with Melissa, was such a positive experience. I hope to work more with her in the future!
Melissa was extremely organized and was always available when I had a question or concern. She made sure that my day ran smoothly and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy our ...

approached. Any time I had a worry she had ideas and solutions and she was on top of every detail I gave her. I truly felt like I could relax and let go of the reigns the day of, and our wedding was absolutely perfect. She’s friendly and easy to work with, extremely organized and I highly recommend her for anyone who’s looking for help with coordinating their wedding!
Melissa was excellent! She was the perfect blend between business and personal. We had her for our "day of" wedding planner and I can't imagine not having her. She was there for...
everything and more. From those non-communicative vendors to every last little detail, she was absolutely the best! I highly recommend her for all of your wedding planning needs.
We hired Feather and Lace as a day-of-coordinator for our Friday the 13th wedding and we’re so glad we did! Melissa is a hero!
She set everything up beautifully and brought our vis...
ion to life, worked expertly with both our traditional and non-traditional elements, helped us navigate a stormy day, managed our vendors and guests so we could just have fun, and saved the day when one of our vendors had a major mistake.
Melissa was so helpful, thoughtful, and a joy to work with. Her expertise and enthusiasm shows in everything she does! We couldn’t have pulled it off without her!
Melissa Blackheart and her partner Brian are TOP NOTCH! I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my special day! I hired them as my day-of coordinators and everything was absolute...
ly perfect! Melissa herded us to our obligations with an amazing attitude and a smile on her face! It was such a long day for them setting up everything, chasing us around (and we were ALL OVER THE PLACE - sorry Melissa), cleaning up at the end of the night and they were amazing the entire time. I can't say enough good things about them, really.
