There is not enough space in this box to tell all you brides out there how wonderful and amazing Malissa Murphy truly is. Before you do anything else planning your big day, CALL MALISSA!!! Our decision to hire her at the beginning of our planning was by far the best one we made. We debated between just the day-of versus the full service, and we took the plunge for full service and I am OH SO glad we did!!!!!! Totally totally worth it. She arranged all of our appointments for us, was the main point of contact for all of our vendors (who all know and love her immensely), and organized everything. She set up all of our stuff for the reception (guest book, favors, etc.) and handled all of the little details that can really throw brides over the edge! She was my brain when I (and my mom) didn't have a brain! Because of her, I was able to fully, and I mean fully, enjoy every single bit of my wedding day without having a second's worry about anything going wrong. And that goes for my mom, too. The closer we got to the wedding date, the more we said to each other "THANK GOD FOR MALISSA!!!" Everyone kept asking me the week before the wedding, "are you getting nervous?" and i could genuinely say "nope!" i was so calm and relieved because I knew Malissa was in charge. If stuff went wrong, I certainly didn't know about it because she and her assistant took care of everything with a smile on their faces. That peace of mind is worth every single penny. I was constantly amazed at how organized she was. Always on top of everything with contracts and invoices, and I really felt like she was our agent and expert in the whole process - we always felt like she had our backs on any issue that might come up. She totally stayed with in our budget when suggesting vendors, and I also loved how she didn't totally hijack creating or designing our wedding - she let me have the creative freedom to plan the event, which i really wanted, but she was always there if i needed an opinion or advice. On top of all this, Malissa is just a really sweet, fun, and caring person, and is so great to be around. I know we'll be keeping in touch with her after the wedding and I really miss emailing with her almost on a daily basis now that the wedding is over!! :-) So, bottom line, call CMT Event Planning NOW. You won't be disappointed.
