We reached out to Melissa for her wedding consulting services, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She worked diligently with me to find the perfect vendors that fit both our style and our budget. Melissa guided us through every step of the planning process and handled all the organization, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Her creativity and thoughtful ideas helped make our wedding day truly unique and special. She saved us so much time and stress—we couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

From our first consultation with The Bridal Compass, my fiancee and I were impressed by Melissa’s clear, effective, and skilled communication style. Melissa was always quick to respond to our emails and phone calls, and she provided us with detailed timelines and checklists to keep us on track throughout the planning process. Melissa’s fluent knowledge of the local vendor community also proved invaluable, as she seamlessly coordinated with our other wedding professionals to ensure everything ran smoothly on the big day. Thanks to The Bridal Compass, our wedding is going to be an absolute dream come true, and we are forever grateful for her exceptional service. Everyone should use The Bridal Compass for their big day.
