Simple Celebrations

uld have been a stressful process into something truly joyful. From the very beginning, Melissa took the time to listen, really listen, to our hopes, ideas, and vision. She then used her deep well of experience, creativity, and calm confidence to guide us every step of the way. Melissa is more than just a planner, she's a partner, a problem-solver, and a visionary. Her impeccable taste and design eye brought our wedding to life in a way that felt personal, elegant, and unforgettable. But what impressed us most was her ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized we had them. That level of foresight and attention is rare and absolutely priceless. Throughout the planning process and especially on the big day, Melissa was attentive, professional, and full of fresh ideas. She handled every detail with grace, allowing us to be fully present and soak in the magic of our wedding without worry. Everything flowed seamlessly because Melissa was running the show—and we knew we were in the best possible hands. We are endlessly grateful for her talent, poise, and passion. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day exceptional, look no further than Melissa and Simple Celebrations. BRAVA, MELISSA! You made our day truly spectacular.

ed to read reviews from other brides to help make my decision and was astonished to read what some brides expected of their wedding planner in their review. Some went above and beyond from what I was reading, and it seemed were NOT appreciated then bashed online. I mean, I thought to myself… doesn’t she just help find vendors, and organize stuff? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Then I found reviews about Melissa, Owner and Operator of Simple Celebrations. I like to refer to her as QUEEN. I found so many amazing reviews and decided I was going to reach out to her because I was lost in my planning, unsure of what I was doing, what my next step was, and what I was leaving out without realizing. One evening, I talked to Melissa on the phone for the first time and within minutes I was already in tears because I could hear the love, honesty, and eager to help without me even saying much!! My fiancé (now husband) asked Melissa to meet us. That evening when I first met her, she embraced me with the biggest hug as if we had been friends for 20 years and yet it was the first time we ever met. We explained to her that we had no theme, not very many ideas, and basically had our Venue, cake and DJ. We talked that evening for what seemed to be hours. She asked us tons of questions and was able to get more out of us than we even knew we had to offer. We left that evening knowing 100% that she was going to be our Savior….. forget calling her a wedding planner! From that evening on she continued to call me, text me, and Melissa lent me her shoulders to lean on, listened to my rants, venting, & comforted my fears and even tears at the same time she took all my stress away. While doing ALL this, she was helping me plan the wedding of my dreams. She made me the most beautiful bouquet, which included a picture of my dad who passed away several years ago. She was part of a surprise gift from my husband which was also in honor of my dad. She created my husband‘s boutonniere which was a mini version of my bouquet. Her and her amazing husband Al created an arch for our alter at Artisan Works. I literally talked about this arch once and they built one and it was simply gorgeous. I can say with 100% honesty she read my mind and knew exactly what we wanted. She came up with every single idea from a welcome table, a memory table in honor of my dad, decorated our sweetheart table and dessert table gorgeously. She took very great care of myself, my husband, my entire bridal party & was a joy to be around. Scratch that, she was so fun to be around! She made our wedding invitations, created a beautiful seating chart, as well as kept in contact with all of our vendors as if she were me. I feel bad if I am leaving stuff out because I know I am. Melissa worked so hard for us, and I didn’t even ask her to go as far as she did. She did it all on her own. Honestly on the night of our wedding I wanted her to just drink and dance with us because she worked so hard for that evening! I HIGHLY recommend my friend Melissa and Simple Celebrations. All I ask of you is to treat her like a friend… a best friend. She will do anything for you and make your wedding dream come true.
