Melissa was so great! We asked her to help with our wedding during the last couple of months and to be a day of coordinator and she was nothing but amazing. From the initial call with her, she was so willing to help and offer her services. Leading up to the wedding we held multiple calls (check-ins) where she would basically walk us through everything that we needed to think about for the next week/couple of weeks. She helped ease our minds as the wedding day approached and we can honestly say that without a doubt Melissa was the best decision we could have made. She treated us so kindly and helped us in so many ways, from dealing with the vendor communication to setting up a weekly schedule for us, to being an incredible day of coordinator who kept us on schedule and dealt with all the inevitable twists and turns of a wedding day. She honestly went above and beyond with each of the services she provided, from staying a bit later to make sure the night closed out well to ensuring our dog was able to make an appearance at the wedding. We will say it again, Melissa was the best decision we made for our wedding and would recommend her services to everyone!
Working with Melissa as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel seamless and completely stress-free. She really took the time to understand our vision, priorities, and budget, and somehow brought everything together even better than we imagined.
Melissa was incredibly organized and communicative throughout the entire journey.
She kept us informed every step of the way and coordinated effortlessly with all of our vendors, which gave us so much peace of mind.
What truly set her apart, though, was how much she genuinely cared about our day. It never felt like “just another wedding” — she was fully invested in making it perfect for us.
Her creativity and attention to detail were unmatched. She thought through every aspect of the day, from the big-picture elements down to the smallest touches, ensuring everything flowed beautifully. Because of her, we were actually able to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day.
We are beyond grateful for Melissa and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple looking for a thoughtful, talented, and truly dedicated wedding planner.
