If you're looking for a wedding planner who will make your dream day a reality, look no further than Melissa and the incredible team at I Do...Weddings & Events! From the initial planning stages to the perfect execution, they were with us every step of the way for my daughter's recent wedding.

We were so fortunate to have Melissa as our planner, coordinator, and florist for our recent wedding at Scripps Seaside Forum. She is incredibly seasoned, professional, and responsive, and played an instrumental role in the success of our wedding.

My now-husband and I knew we wanted to give our guests an iconic San Diegan wedding, and no better place than at Scripps! The challenge with this venue is that all the vendors need to be brought in, which is much more work than an all-inclusive venue. Melissa was a wonderful source of support throughout this process, providing useful recommendations based on our budget, reviewing all the contracts as they came in, and responding quickly to any questions I sent her way. Every time we met with her in person, we left feeling reassured and confident that she could make our vision a reality.

In the months leading up to our wedding, she took control of communicating with all our vendors, finalizing details and ensuring everyone was on the same page. She sent us tasks to focus on each week so that we could stay on track and was always mindful not to place too big of a burden on us. Thanks to this, we had few remaining to-dos the week of our wedding, and could focus on spending time with our family and wedding party.

When a storm was forecasted to hit on our wedding weekend, Melissa reassured us she had contingency plans in place, and sent us and the vendors regular updates. Fortunately, the sky cleared up just in time for our ceremony, and we were able to have it outdoors. In times like these, when uncertainty and stress arise, it makes it all the more important to have an experienced planner like Melissa.

On our wedding day, Melissa touched base with both of us in the morning, quietly delivered the most gorgeous bouquets to our Airbnb, and returned to the venue to set up a fantastic ceremony and reception. The day went by in a blur, but at no point did I feel stressed about the details because she was there running the show effortlessly and keeping things on track. The clean-up process was also made super smooth and easy for us. Thanks to Melissa, my husband and I were truly able to enjoy celebrating our wedding with our loved ones, and everyone had an amazing time!

We worked with Caitlyn Flannery for our wedding this past weekend. From our first call with Caitlyn to our wedding, she was so easy to work with! I felt nerves but no stress on our wedding day as I knew Caitlyn would handle it all smoothly. Everything went amazing and I could not imagine a more perfect day for us! We had some rain in the morning - I wanted the ceremony to be outside but felt comfortable knowing Caitlyn had backup plans for rain and it would go well either way. She is very kind, organized, and attentive. Would definitely recommend working with her!
