My wife and I had the very good fortune to have Melinda Smith or Four Lasting Memories as our wedding coordinator. Melinda was very efficient, incredibly helpful and always kind and compassionate. She worked with us, saving us time and money well beyond her very reasonable fees. Melinda treated our event with the care and concern one would expect as if it were her own. In her, we found a true talented professional and a dear friend. To say that we highly recommend her is only the beginning of describing her incredible talent.

Melinda Smith is an exceptional planner and wedding coordinator. She is amazing at what she does. We were so pleased with her organization skills and attention to detail that we also hired her to be our personal wedding director for our special day. Melinda is caring, warm and pays special attention to her client's needs. She can also work with any budget and does a fabulous job of staying within that budget. Her follow up with every aspect of our wedding was so helpful for us especially since we were both extremely busy with work. Melinda was professional and personal and we feel like we have a life long friend in her. I would highly recommend Melinda for all your wedding needs.

Melinda,

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all of the hard work that you have put into helping us plan our dream wedding. I don’t know how I would have managed accomplishing everything we have done thus far without your help. Tim and I have had so much on our plate this year with our business, me going to college, and our families. I was worried that planning our wedding from another state was going to be overwhelming but you have helped me so much in taking care of everything that needed to be done. Your dedication in helping us plan our wedding exactly the way we envisioned it is evident in your answering all of the thousands of e-mails I have sent you and in the many different options and ideas you have suggested in creating our perfect day. We still have a couple of months until the big day but I have no worries at all because I know that you have everything under control. I don’t think that I could thank you enough for all the hard work you have done.

Thank you,
Anna and Tim

To Melinda and all the wonderful associates at Four Lasting Memories Weddings and Events

Dearest Melinda,

I just wanted to again thankyou for everything!!!! You are the absolute best and I thank the good Lord above every day that I found you and your company.
I knew from the moment I met you that you were so different then all the other wedding coordinators I had met with (and boy did I meet with a lot!) but something inside me told me that you were the one I had been searching for and so I went with it.
After all the phone calls, emails, and IMs that I put you through, I thought surely you would want to strangle me but no, you answered each and every one of my calls, no matter how late at night I sent you a email or IM , I ALWAYS had a response waiting back for me.... you are just the absolute BEST!!!

When the director of our venue "fell short" of their duties, though we had paid them very healthy for such, rather then have myself or my family worry with it and it ruin my day, YOU stepped in
and saved the day. You took over the direction of the ceremony and reception and everything from then on ran like silk!!!
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! Though this was was not "your" job, nor were you being paid a penny extra to do what we had paid this other person to do already, YOU are the one whom made my day the day of mine and my now husbands dreams come true and
for this I will thankyou forever!!

I have cried everytime I have thought of you since we left the reception for the honeymoon, and I cry now as I write this... you Melinda, and your wonderful company there at FLM have touched my heart! You are not just the best wedding coordinator a couple could have but have became the dearest friend one could only hope to find in their life and I have found a dear friend for always in you!!

Please keep in touch as you know I surely will!! hee hee

We love you dearly and THANKYOU again!!!

Mr. & Mrs. S. T. Williams ( Doesn't that name sound so wonderful?!!) xxxooo

From the moment I spoke with Melinda, I knew I wanted to work with her. I wanted to plan a destination wedding in the Smoky Mountains of TN and was overwhelmed by the prospect of actually planning the event. But, from day one Melinda put me at ease and took the burden from me to coordinate from hundreds of miles away. From the major pieces to the fine details, Melinda has had my best interest at heart. She's extremely budget conscious and has saved me money at every single opportunity. She negotiated deals with vendors that I would not have the knowledge, leverage or time to do. Melinda is professional, sincere, trustworthy and simply put: great at what she does. She's bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule -- traveling from Ashville, NC to Maryville, TN in the middle of the night for an crack-of-dawn, whirlwind day of bridal meetings, consults and site visits. She even ate Red Velvet with a smile at 9 am! It has been worth every single penny of my budget spent on Four Lasting Memories' services. I would absolutely be a mess without Melinda keeping things in perspective and keeping me sane. I'm so lucky that I found a fantastic wedding planner -- and through all of this -- a good friend! Melinda genuinely cares about every single one of her brides and strives to make their big day everything they've ever dreamed of. She's one of a kind and I love her! Miss Taylor Clark (soon to be Mrs. Huff!)
