MMJ Events

e planning process from something overwhelming into something organized, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable. From the months of planning to the wedding day itself, they were the biggest blessing. I never had to worry about a single detail—I was able to be fully present with my family and friends, and they were able to do the same, which meant the world to me. We truly got to embrace the day. Not only did Taylor and Esther execute every detail flawlessly, they went out of their way to check in on me throughout the day—making sure I had what I needed, asking if I wanted a drink, and just being there with a reassuring smile. They also made the clean-up and tear-down completely hands-free for us, which was such a gift. After the wedding, we got to keep celebrating instead of packing up décor and loading cars. Taylor and Esther were outstanding to work with, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to any bride who wants to feel fully present and immersed in her wedding day. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is absolutely the right team for you.

day of. I would highly recommend!

th times. Rebecca and Jesse were a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them over and over again.

guests. Our event turned into more of an experience, one no one will forget.

t! I worked with Rebecca and Jessie and they were both absolutely incredible. They handled communication with all vendors and made sure the entire day went smoothly from timeline to decor and details. They really took the time to make everything perfect for us. I received so many compliments about MMJ from the wedding party and guests, I really could not have done it without them and cannot recommend them enough! They are amazing at what they do and so much fun to work with!

ecial event incredible!

a call the entire process. Thank you for taking the design to a whole other level for our big day! The reveal of our space on our wedding day was something so special that I will forever remember, brought tears to my eyes with how beautiful our entire day was because of this team! I am so grateful for all the hard work these ladies put into our big day. You will NOT regret hiring this time for your special day.

absolutely EVERYTHING leading up to the big day. I felt so at ease through the whole process and couldn’t have imagined our wedding without her and her team. Day of wedding I have absolutely no stress because i knew it was taken care of. 100000/10 recommend MMJ events!

y of. We brought in lots of different vendors and she wrapped everything up perfectly so we could actually enjoy the few weeks leading up to our wedding. I highly recommend using MMJ!

uld have done without them! By far the best of the best and highly recommend!

th. Everything went perfectly to plan. We did not have to worry about a thing and got to focus on the special day. Rebecca walked us through each step and it felt like a friend was helping us vs a contractor. Would definitely recommend them.

had me make and share a Pinterest board to add inspiration photos to, and our wedding looked just like the board. While we live in California, Rebecca was in Ohio, and planning our wedding in Texas. Even with all that distance, and Zoom meetings, she made everything happen! She was the one communicating with vendors, but would cc me on all emails to keep me in the loop. I’m a teacher so this was the best part--letting her deal with the stressful stuff. We are from San Antonio, where we celebrate “Fiesta” which is basically a 2 week long Mexican street fair, and that was the theme. She curated a Mexican candy bar, got us some chamoy straws for our signature cocktails, and used Mexican tiles as our escort cards. Now when we visit friends’ houses, we see those tiles on display or used as coasters, and it warms our heart. She even helped us incorporate our dogs who couldn’t make it by naming our drinks after them, and showcasing photos of them next to the drinks. I had so many people compliment all of the decor because even though it was inspired by a street party, it still looked upscale.

Events are it! My wife and I sifted through and interviewed a variety of wedding planners, but immediately locked in on MMJ. You could tell from day one, they were special. They were proactive in really getting to know us and understanding what would make the difference for us. They took extensive notes and planned every detail extraordinarily. From the catering to the flowers to the live musicians, hors d’oeuvres, and valet parking, everything was amazing. Not to mention the DJ, the photographer, the videographer, the reception room reveal, etc., etc. I could go on and on. The fact is we cannot say enough praise for MMJ Events! I would highly recommend them! You will be astounded! Thank you MMJ for making our special day so amazing and unforgettable. We still have guest telling us that it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. We couldn’t be happier.

the Columbus vendors with ease, and that is exactly what they delivered in the planning phase. I didn’t want to have to sift through thousands of vendors per category. They really helped narrow down each vendor category for me which I cannot thank them enough for that. They had the top picks from flowers to catering…they knew the best options for my what my husband and I wanted! Rebecca and I instantly connected and she said as such a great support, really by my side the whole time! On the day of, if the team hadn’t been worked enough for our wedding event, they were truly put to the test with weather throwing the day off. They quickly thought on their feet to make the day as true to how it was planned as possible. I cannot thank Maleka, Rebecca, and everyone else for taking over so I could get back to enjoying the day!

The vendors they have access to also did an amazing job. We especially benefited from their creativity and ability to take our vision for the wedding and make it even more than we expected. They took time with us the year leading up to the wedding and the week before worked so hard to make everything perfect. With Meleka and Rebecca managing every detail,I, as the mother of the bride ,could enjoy every moment of the special day and the days leading up to the wedding. I would use them again for any special event!

. Rebecca helped create a wedding day timeline, contacted all of my vendors, was present for our rehearsal & made sure everyone knew where they needed to be, and ensured that the day ran smoothly. Not only is she incredible at her job, but she is the warmest, kindest soul! She gave me peace of mind & the ability to be present on the day & soak it all in. Can't recommend her enough!!

aids were at ease knowing that they had everything under control. We were able to go into cruise control and enjoy the day without the worry of ensuring everything was on time and going as planned. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

l cherish the memories forever!

ety to let things go, but they were very reassuring and I was able to pass it to them so smoothly. They made everything absolutely perfect. Even when the problems popped up, they did their magic. I never had to worry about a thing.

eautiful tent weddings she had planned at our venue. From the start, Meleka kept us on track and really took away from the stress of wedding planning, especially since our venue coordinator was frustrating to work with. We decided to move forward with the wedding once COVID-19 hit, albeit smaller than previously planned. She also worked with my mother-in-law's requests and helped us planned an intimate tea ceremony the morning of the wedding day. The day turned out perfectly, the tent and details were beautiful, and we received so many compliments from guests. MMJ really made our day memorable and we are forever grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MMJ to anyone who needs help planning!

ral Ohio on a budget (AND over a holiday weekend). And oh boy, did they knock it out of the park! She was truly full-service in that she had every detail covered and recommended so many amazing vendors who all worked hard to make our day so memorable and a true dream. The design was so unique to us and so many little details were incorporated to make it all fit together. We would recommend her to friends and family a million times over!!

ram for awhile and was fan girling over their work so decided to meet with Meleka and see what this wedding planning thing was all about. My parents and I were completely SOLD on MMJ and it was one of the investments of the wedding planning process, let me tell you! Aside from being the best of the best in Columbus, Meleka has close relationships with SO many vendors that created a seamless process of booking, questions & follow ups. We encountered several bumps in the road in planning our wedding (ie: original venue booked fell thru due to unfortunate circumstances 6 months before our wedding date...) and Meleka and Heather were so accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect at our new venue. I definitely had a vision for our wedding day which MMJ helped make possible and come to life with their own personal touches. The small details created a cohesive look and feel for our reception and could not have all come together without their blood, sweat & tears. It truly was a perfect day and it wouldn't have been possible without Meleka and Heather!! Thank you guys for everything <3

ything was beautiful despite my inability to make 68% of the executive decisions I was supposed to. She's a boss!

that she never could have done it without Meleka, and I am so grateful she was able to take away the stress and let us enjoy the process. She is the best in the business and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

in taking our thoughts and ideas and transforming them into a clear vision for the tone and look of the wedding. She is extremely organized and has a tremendous attention to detail. The tracking software she provides kept us updated and no task was lost in the planning. Meleka has a very good relationship and reputation with her vendors and matched us well with those that could deliver the look we wanted. MMJ Events handled the task of executing an out-of-town wedding (2 hours away from Columbus, Ohio) with seamless efficiency. The transformation of the ballroom for the reception at the hotel was breathtaking! Guests were taking pictures and videos on their cell phones when they entered the reception room!! Meleka and her staff handled every detail of the wedding day and made it exactly what we hoped for and a absolutely wonderful event!

ted all the stress that goes into planning a wedding. Her ability to transform a venue with her attention to detail and creativity goes unmatched. Meleka's relationship with vendors helped so much when decision and deadlines had to be made. Very detail from personnel to timeline was covered by her and her team which allowed for our guest and the bridal party to fully enjoy the day. I would highly recommend Meleka and MMJ for soon to be brides that want all their hopes and dreams to be met...or exceeded!

thing I heard throughout my day, is that my personality showed through every detail, and that is thanks to MMJ Events. Not only did I have a wonderful experience planning my wedding with Meleka, I walked away with the most beautiful memories in my head and a new friend. Meleka takes wedding planning to a personal level. She gets to know the ins and outs of you and your partner's personality , so the couple can shine through during their day. Meleka took every single aspect that was important to my husband and I and put it into our wedding. Meleka kept me calm, made me enjoy the entire process and in the end truly created my husband and I's personal fairy tale. I am forever blessed by MMJ events and will speak of her brilliance till the end of time!

-to-girl from beginning to end and beyond. She was so kind and understanding of our needs and a super Boss Babe when she needed to get everyone in line. As expected, not everything went as planned, but trusting that Heather was there to make quick changes and decisions was such a relief. Our day was perfect in large part because of her. Thank you, again! “Heather was worth her weight in GOLD” – my mom

he day, was perfect! Meleka was so helpful in being able to make the vision I had in my head become a reality. She was so helpful in finding the perfect vendors and communicating with them. She was always on top of everything and uses an amazing wedding planning website called aisle planner that keeps everything organized for the bride. She also has so many of the perfect pieces from her own rental company that we were able to rent for the day of that I absolutely loved. The day of the wedding, she made sure that everything went smoothly, so that I didn't have to worry about anything!! She truly made it a dream day and I could not be more thankful!! Everyone should hire MMJ events because they will make your wedding day everything you imagined and more!!!

h our vendors to create a timeline, which was a lifesaver. And she came to the rehearsal which was a big help! All of her recommendations were spot-on and I the big day she was always there when I needed her. She was a big help in getting my dress on. And later in the day she was there with my comfortable shoes when I needed them. She also helped place items on the tables and ensured everything was packed up at the end of the night. I can’t imagine what all she quietly did that we didn’t know about. Hiring her allowed my Mom, sister and me to enjoy the big day!

d the wedding was. I am so thankful to have Heather and the team help with the set up, tear down, vendor communications, and timeline. I highly recommend!!

l!Outstanding team!

stressed leading up to the wedding but once Meleka took over with my vendors I finally was able to enjoy myself. And I don't give these reviews lightly as I plan events for a living. I truly enjoyed my wedding day 10x more than I would have if not for Meleka. Also - using her sister company Aiden and Grace made the rental process a breeze. Overall I can't say enough positive things!

many different ideas that I really loved! Meleka is wonderful to work with and always in happy spirits! I just love MMJ Events!

amazing. It was the best investment I made for my wedding. Highly recommended!!!

out things that needed to get done, I knew I couldn’t be there to help but could trust that Meleka always would be. She took such a stress off of us when planning our wedding and has become a friend through the process! I would definitely recommend MMJ events!

e working with anyone else!!!!!!

ssues that required us to travel frequently. Meleka was our saving grace. She walked us through each step, was always there when we needed her or had questions, captured every single detail and style for our big day, and made sure the day of went seamlessly. Thanks to Meleka and MMJ, We had the wedding of our dreams.

and answered every question I had - obviously knowing the vendors in town and how to best work with each of them. I knew we'd be in good hands with a seasoned pro. She came on board a month before the wedding and lifted my stress away. From contacting all of the vendors to make sure everything was good to go, to sharing our timeline to make sure we were all on the same page, to being a part of every detail on the day - she made the event run so smoothly and beautifully. Even when a few snags popped up during the day (which is bound to happen), I didn't even know or hear about it, she just fixed things on the spot and I was able to enjoy a truly stress-free day. For a borderline OCD bride like myself, it seemed scary to make so many plans and then put them in someone else's hands. Meleka took all of that fear away by being so professional, capable, and lovey to be around. I was truly able to let go on my wedding day and simply enjoy my groom, our family and friends, and all of the beautiful work that so many people put into it. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She also has an amazing software program to offer to help throughout the entire planning process (Aisle Planner) which is TOTALLY worth the price and kept everything so organized. And, make sure to check out her event design/rental business Aiden & Grace - so many beautiful things that can be rented for wedding decor (and super easy to do), and so easy to work with her in that realm since she was already our planner. Thank you for everything, Meleka. Brides: she's amazing!!

t have been happier with the way everything turned out. I and ( most importantly) my parents had peace of mind on the wedding day, knowing we wouldn't have to worry about the timeline of events during the day and small details during the reception. Meleka was a huge help in coordinating with vendors in the morning and week before the wedding. The Aisle Planner software she offers was a huge time saver in the planning process too - I definitely recommend it.

ly believe that our event would not have been as great as it was without her. Her 5-star reviews are really an understatement for how awesome she is and I would recommend her services without hesitation.

e we were up against since I live on the opposite side of the country! I've known Meleka since high school and have been so impressed and inspired by MMJ Events. After we decided to get married in Ohio I immediately called to lock her in. While I'm familiar with the logistics of planning a wedding I was very unfamiliar with the vendors in Ohio. Every vendor Meleka referred contributed perfectly into my design and overall feel I was trying to create. Meleka, herself, was a dream to work with and her growing inventory of specialty rentals elevated my big day! When her team showed up day of, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders and I was able to relax and enjoy. Thank you MMJ Events for everything!
