  As fellow vendors (providing the photography) at a recent wedding, Melanie was a dream to work with. The quality of her work is tremendous. She was extremely responsive with any and all questions and very timely and thorough with all information regarding the wedding. She kept in great contact with us before the wedding, and constantly checked in with us day of. Having worked with many different coordinators, we would without a doubt say that Melanie is one of the best we've seen. She exudes a sense of calm and soft confidence that rub off on everyone in contact with her! She is a wonderful personality and so easy to communicate with. The day went so smoothly and we never had to check the clock or spend a moment wondering what was next. She was always easy to locate and on top of everything. We very highly recommend Melanie and her team, and would jump at a chance to work with her again.

  Melanie Leung Shea is a top-notch wedding coordinator and event planner! As the officiating pastor of the wedding ceremony, I pay close attention the wedding coordinator's work. As the officiant, I am working closely with the bride and groom and monitoring the level of peace and joy they experience in the ceremony planning and on the big day. Melanie has an exceptional eye for detail and is sensitive to the needs of the bridal party in the moment. In my experience as a pastor, people are good at one or the other, but it is rare to find such a great combination of practicality and sensitivity in one person. I highly recommend Melanie's event planning and wedding coordination services.

  Melanie is an amazing coordinator and professional businesswoman! She was able to locate the perfect venue for my wedding and negotiated a price well below the normal rates with her kind and winsome manner. During the planning process and wedding day, Melanie was always calm, confident, and professional. Not even the most difficult situations seemed to phase her. She was able to handle every situation gracefully and tactfully. She was organized and helped me to be able to enjoy a peaceful week before the wedding while she put together all the final details, writing literally hundreds of emails. My husband and I were so grateful for her help and expertise in planning and putting on our wedding that my husband suggested we send an email to thank her on our honeymoon. We would recommend highly Melanie to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

  Melanie planned a fundraising event for us and NOT a wedding. From the very conception of the idea to the actual day the event took place Melanie was there leading us through to make the event successful. She helped us book the venue, work out food and drink details, helped us create a decorating theme, created a floor layout for tables, and seating. We were collecting items for a silent auction and she had detailed spreadsheets of items as they came in, who donated them, and their estimated value. Our event was certainly a success due to Melanie's professionalism and thoughtful planning care!

  Melanie coordinated our wedding and was such a lifesaver! Right from the start she jumped in and directed us as to priorities and tasks and helped with researching vendors. She listened well to our ideas and dreams for the wedding and was very considerate of our thoughts. Both my (at the time) fiance and I worked full time and were unable to find the time to research locations or other vendors in very much detail; but Melanie stepped in and took our vendor list and made the necessary calls and e-mails to get the answers to our questions (and those questions which she added that we didn't know to ask!). She collected results from her vendor research in an organized manner which made our decisions so much easier! Melanie's organization skills are incredible and she keeps very good records. Her help with the wedding preparations was indispensable! As if that wasn't enough, her coordination of the rehearsal and the day-of was seamless! There was no stress for us or either of our families – we were free to enjoy this special day! Melanie very professionally handled some issues that came up with the venue and the venue owner to such an extend that we never knew that there were any issues until some weeks after the wedding. We are both so grateful that Melanie was involved in our wedding planning and the big day!

  Mel absolutely put my mind at ease on the day of my wedding. All of the vendors she suggested were fantastic!! She gave great suggestions on timelines, proper etiquette, and even did my wedding day make up! Mel is the person you want working with you to make sure you can simply enjoy the most memorable day of your life! Could not imagine having planned my wedding without her!

  Melanie coordinated our wedding in 2004. We had a large wedding party (6 bridesmaids, 6 groomsmen), ushers, and of course, musicians, readers, a pastor, and a plethora of guests (150). I have known Melanie for 9 years and would wholeheartedly recommend her for her amazing skills in administrating, delegating, organizing, creativity, professionalism, attention-to-detail, and her graciousness. I can speak to her character as well, and feel completely confident that she would give the same care to new customers as she does to long-time friends. Mel is very driven and a hard-worker, and while she would not hesitate to give you her suggestions for the best way to make something go smoothly, I know she would always put her brides' desires before her own. On the day of our wedding, she was so spot-on with placing everybody in the right spots that you hardly knew she was there, working it all behind the scenes. I am sure you will benefit greatly from having her by your side at your wedding and in all the details leading up to it!

  As a caterer, I have worked with Melanie on several weddings. She is detail oriented, professional and works hard to ensure that all businesses involved are on the same page.
