  Stress Free Wedding

  My husband and I chose the week of coordinator option for our wedding. Elyse was amazing; from meeting at the venue a week before the wedding, event timeline help, to assisting with the rehearsal walk through. She made everything run smoothly the day of the wedding from the ceremony to the reception. She is so easy to work with and made our day stress free and fun! Thank you for everything.

  We found Ceylon Blu through the preferred vendor list at our venue, FivePine Lodge in Sisters, Oregon. I worked with Melissa, and we totally clicked on the phone. She seemed down to earth, professional and a good value, and that was totally true. We bought the "week of" coordination package, but Melissa was responsive throughout the year, offering advice on vendors & answering questions. We met with her at her studio in downtown Bend once in the winter, and she met us out at FivePine for a walk-through in March. Then our wedding was in May. We also rented ceremony chairs, a few bar tables & linens, tabletop decor (vases, mirrors & tea candles), various decor & seating chart holders from Melissa's rental company, Set In Your Way. It was super convenient to use Melissa for both, and everything looked great, simple & elegant, just as I had imagined. The day of the wedding was so smooth. Melissa was at the venue in the morning, setting up and coordinating deliveries. I could trust Melissa to handle everything and carry out my vision and it was AMAZING to not have to think of any of that on the day of the wedding. She was wonderful in a pinch, when I completely forgot to bring something to hold the flower petals for the flower girls and she somehow found a basket for them. She kept us on track & the event flowing, and I think all the guests had a terrific time. The one thing I would have done differently is to schedule more than an hour for the wedding rehearsal, which we held on Friday evening, just before the festivities began. We didn't have a wedding party going down the aisle, just the flower children and myself, but I felt like one more run through would have made the beginning of the ceremony go smoother. But besides that, everything was absolutely terrific and we are thrilled with how the day turned out. Melissa was a calming presence all throughout the planning and execution, and I would highly recommend her & Ceylon Blu.

  Melissa and Rachel at Ceylon Blu did an amazing job making sure the time schedule of the day and the organization of the vendors went smoothly. I trusted Melissa's expert opinion and used her other business, Set in Your Ways, to handle a majority of the rentals. Her inventory of rentals is unique and allows the bride & groom to be more creative with the decor of their wedding. Melissa at Ceylon Blu and her services allowed me to be relaxed on our wedding day and to focus on the most important part; marrying my husband. Thank you ladies for all your help!

  Ashley Mitchell assisted my daughter-in-law, my son, and our entire family with the wedding hosted in Sisters, Oregon on September 19th. Ashley was competent, thoughtful, extremely helpful- she did not wait to be asked, but continuously shifted taking care of matters with professionalism as matter arose. She made the day so much more organized and joyful for our family. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help for a wedding. We used Ashley as day-of-coordinator, and she was the best. I imagine for those who need more planning services she would make an excellent partner.

  I couldn't have asked for more from Melissa at Ceylon Blu. I am so grateful for all of her help and support for my wedding reception. She was flexible in discussing preparations and interpreted my vision perfectly. She helped make centerpieces from large ceremony bouquets and they were beautiful! When my husband and I walked into the reception area we were speechless, it was gorgeous! She knew all our vendors and communicated perfectly with everyone. She was such a valuable vendor and I would recommend her to anyone planning an event!

  In view of the fact that we decided to have our wedding in Central Oregon and I didn't know any of the vendors etc., that could help us make the day special I knew I needed some help. I am also someone who is somewhat of a control freak, but I fell well short of a 'bridezilla' - at least I think I did. Melissa and Anne worked with me to adjust the pricing to allow for a little more interaction than just the day of scenario, but recognized that I'd be doing some of the leg work as well. It was a perfect combination and made it very affordable. Anne was great to work with as well and helped very much with day of jitters! Everything worked out just as we wanted thanks to her attention to detail.

  I decided to choose a day of/month of coordinator since I was planning and oregon wedding from Tennessee. From the start Melissa was very helpful, even helping us choose a DJ before our contract even began. It ended up Melissa was unable to help of the day of due to a conflict but had Ashley in her place in no time. I literally had no worried the month of and especially the week of the wedding. Vendors were all coordinated by Ashley as well as set-up and take down. This was by far one of the greatest investments we made to our wedding.

  Ceylon Blu has been great in starting our wedding planning process. I love the studio with all of the options and designs that make it easy to choose from. They do offer several packages to suit the needs of every bride and groom. Melissa and Anne have been fantastic in responding to e-mails and being available to meet. They have offered a lot of advice for vendors and really know what the area has to offer for all things weddings!

  Melissa was great to work with. She had lots of ideas for us and brought up services we had forgotten we would need. We had a terrible experience with our florist and she provided us with some lovely centerpieces free of charge. Very organized and easy to work with.
