Best Wedding Planner EVER!

Nicole Bernath of Pretty Swell Parties is the consummate wedding planner! From Day One, she was organized, creative, thoughtful, a good listener, responsive, energetic, and willing to do anything to make the process smooth. Any time there were challenges, Nicole handled it. Our daughter's wedding could not have been as wonderful as it was without Nicole. We cannot recommend her enough!!!!!

An unforgettable wedding that set a new standard for celebration, joy, and love thanks to Nicole’s endless talent, patience and experience.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of attending some truly spectacular and sophisticated Jewish weddings—in Paris, the South of France, Florence, New York, and Palm Beach. I’ve seen the elegance of a Parisian vineyard in Provence and celebrated love in a 16th-century palazzo in Florence. But never—anywhere—have I experienced a celebration as flawlessly orchestrated and thoughtfully planned as the wedding of our children, Jen and Max Rothschild, thanks to Nicole Bernath of Pretty Swell Party.

Guests traveled from across the U.S. and Europe, and what impressed them most—beyond the beauty—was the genuine warmth, the attention to every detail, and the seamless sophistication woven into each moment. From the warm and festive Friday night Shabbat dinner at Summerour to the breathtakingly elegant ceremony and reception at the Atlanta History Center, Nicole and her exceptional team created magic every step of the way. She guided our families through the process of selecting vendors, provided steps by steps timelines for every day events with endless patience for every question for months.
Our friends haven’t stopped calling, texting, and raving about the weekend. This wasn’t just a wedding—it was an unforgettable experience that set a new standard for celebration, joy, and love thanks to Nicole’s endless talent, patience and experience. We could not have done it without Nicole and her team. A huge thank you.

Best wedding planner in the world!!!

There are no words to describe Nicole and the experience we had with her. She is patient, pays attention to detail, is so responsive, and is incredibly kind. She made the wedding planning experience seamless and I knew we were in the best hands working with her. The wedding day was perfect, all thanks to her!!! I cannot recommend Nicole enough.

Best Wedding Ever

Nicole had 3 months to help us plan our wedding and she did a phenomenal job. From finding and interviewing vendors, finding a venue and arranging a competitive contract - she did it all. And on our wedding day, she handled everything professionally. It was so amazing and we didn't need to worry about a single detail the day of our wedding. 10 out of 10!

Nicole was excellent and we would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the Atlanta area! She was on top of everything and we couldn't have done it without her. She was very responsive, went above and beyond for us, helped with a lot of little details, and handled everything on our wedding day so well.

Nicole was invaluable! She is so smart and a pleasure to be with!!! She covered every detail, did every spreadsheet, knew every vendor, was always available to talk at any time, helped with things not even on her list --- and did it all with a smile and a great attitude! She kept us all sane and focused throughout the process. Both my daughter and I loved working with her! I would recommend Nicole without reservation! She is THE BEST!!!!

Organized with an eye to detail

Nicole has an outstanding eye for details. From engagement to post wedding she was on top of everything. Nicole guided us through all the steps beforehand so that there were no surprises along the way. The night of the wedding, things went so smoothly. We never noticed a hiccup and I'm sure there was at least one. She kept us (parents of the bride) isolated from any issues the night of the wedding...she just handled them.

I cannot express strongly enough how much I appreciated Nicole as the planner for my daughters wedding this past weekend!
Nicole was our Day Of Planner, but I honestly feel like she was there for us as soon as we hired Pretty Swell Parties a year before the wedding!
She couldn't have been more calming, reassuring and organized in the most gentle and warm way. From the beginning stages when decisions were being made to the meetings and phone calls about the time line and final minutes of the party and even after, Nicole was the person I was always happy to see and hear from!
Nicole worked so well with all our vendors, who were also very impressed with her easy to get long with, soft spoken, calm and very amiable demeanor.
Our outdoor fall wedding was on the one day it decided to pour cats and dogs and be the coldest, wettest most dreary day, but Nicole handled all the stress of making alternate plans working with vendors, the families and guests to the last little detail with no hitches and we had the most amazing wedding in spite of the weather!
I told Nicole and truly believe she was worth every penny! I highly recommend Pretty Swell Parties and give major Kudos to Nicole for all her help!

When the reality of the amount of time and effort it would take to fully plan my wedding set in, I knew that I would need some help. A friend recommended Melissa, and after our first coffee meeting I knew that I would be able to trust her with this big event. Looking back, it was the best decision I could have made. She was there from that moment on through as many of decisions as we needed through the final send-off the night of the wedding. Everything went off without a hitch, and each phase of the wedding preparation and day transitioned right into the next seamlessly. I couldn't speak more highly of her, she's amazing!

Melissa was amazing! She helped us every step of the way. There are so many decisions when planning a wedding. Melissa provided us with a schedule, planned all appointments and guided us when making decisions. She was responsive and took care of things as they arose. She was professional and organized. We couldn't have chosen a better wedding planner to make our daughter's wedding a perfect day!

Nicole and Melissa are outstanding at what they do. We worked with Nicole on setting up our daughter's wedding, and Melissa helped out on the wedding day. Nicole was always available for advice and help. She made up time lines and made sure that we were on schedule.
There is no way the wedding day would not have gone as well as it did with Nicole and Melissa.

We used Melissa Bloomfield as our wedding coordinator in May and she was outstanding. She was always on top of everything (deadlines for contracts, orders with long lead times, etc.) and ensured the wedding day went smoothly. Her advice with vendors, decorations, and scheduling was spot on. She also ensured my wife and I had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding, which allowed us to enjoy every minute of it and be stress free. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

I knew from the moment I got engaged that I would need a wedding planner. I am not a Type A personality so I asked one of my friends that owns her own floral business if there was anyone she'd recommend. Melissa at Pretty Swell Parties was the person she thought would be perfect and she was right!

From my first meeting with Melissa, I felt put at ease which is what every bride wants, and I was so happy to have her help putting everything together. Even though Melissa was my day of planner, she was absolutely fantastic during the months leading up to the wedding, not just the day of. She did SO much more than day of coordination. She made wonderful recommendations, she gave me advice, we walked through the venue about a month beforehand to make sure we had everything planned out, and answered any question I had throughout my wedding journey. By the time we got to the big day, I wasn't stressed. I got to actually enjoy the day because Melissa and her assistant had it all handled and had coordinated with every vendor. Even with unexpected snow flurries, Melissa remained calm and our wedding day was truly perfect.

When I say it was the best day of my life, I mean it and we never would have gotten there without Melissa. Everything went smoothly, we ran on schedule, and my groom and I had the best time! I don't know what we would have done without Melissa and her team. I highly recommend Pretty Swell Parties for any event. It was the best decision I made in regards to my wedding!

I cannot thank Melissa enough for her help during my wedding planning and wedding. I called her my wedding "xanax" because she not only calmed every fear, but followed through with every need, want, wish and hope. I was an anxious bride, but because of her, I was able to enjoy the planning process of my wedding. She comes armed with a notebook and a smile, and she makes everything so seamless that you would never know if there was a hiccup. Melissa was a pro at dealing with multiple high-strung personalities and making sure every voice reamained true to what I wanted. She was able to anticipate needs I hadn't even considered and squash each unecessary worry.

Her assistant Nicole was equally as sweet and eager to help. They impressed me not only with their quick follow up but follow through. One example of them going above and beyond was during the wedding when my back went out. They kept the whole wedding moving along, moving things like father daughter dances as needed, and going to CVS and applying Icy Hot patches under my dress. I will always remember them being so dedicated to my enjoyment of the day (even under crazy circumstances) and making sure it was the best day of my life!

Please consider Pretty Swell Parties for all of your wedding planning needs. You will have more than a "pretty swell" time! I did!

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Melissa is and how she helped us create the most perfect wedding day.

We had a long engagement and for almost a year and a half Melissa guided, advised, and helped us navigate the wedding planning process. She was always prepared, calm, and full of knowledge. She provided us with amazing vendor recommendations and helped us narrow down and make decisions. She always made herself available for any questions we might have and in the weeks leading up to the wedding she was amazing at calming an anxious bride and groom.

Whenever we encountered any bumps in the road, Melissa assured us that no matter what our wedding day would be perfect and go off without a hitch. And boy did she deliver. On the day of the wedding Melissa and her equally amazing assistant Nicole took care of absolutely everything. From arriving with hot biscuits from the bridal parties (a very big hit!) in the morning to making sure that everything was on schedule to ensuring that everything was packed and returned to us in impeccable condition. We had no worries on our wedding day because we knew Melissa was in charge.
If there were any issues behind the scenes, we never knew it because Melissa always had a smile on her face and she guided everyone through the day flawlessly.

My husband and I had so much fun on our wedding day. We laughed, we celebrated with our families, and we danced the night away with no worries. And our ability to do so was in large part thanks to Melissa.

From the time we met the ladies at Pretty Swell Parties to the minute they finished after our wedding, we were so incredibly happy to have them on our team. They were responsible, organized, knew exactly what to do and when. They took care of Everything. As mother of the bride, I was 100% confident in their ability to do their job. The efficiency, promptness, and coordination was outstanding. When looking for a wedding coordinator, look no further. Pretty Swell Parties is the BEST!!

Both Melissa and Nicole were fantastic to work with while planning our wedding. Down to earth, warm and friendly, professional- couldn't imagine pulling everything together without their help and guidance! Our wedding day (April 26, 2015) was perfect, they covered all details (even ones my mother hadn't thought of) and most importantly, if there were any hitches we never heard about them.

Every meeting we had with Melissa and Nicole was focused and helpful- they offered firm yet kind guidance when some of my DIY ideas were unreasonable. Looking back now that the festivities are over, it is clear that hiring Pretty Swell Parties to help with our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made. We wouldn't have changed a thing!

Just the name Pretty Swell Parties makes my smile so it was a pleasure when I met with Melissa Bloomfield to discuss handling the “Day Of” coordination for our daughter’s wedding. Most of the major decisions had been made but I knew that I wanted, and needed, someone to ensure that I could enjoy one of the happiest days of daughter’s life. It was a wonderful decision. After so many months handling all the logistics of this wedding, with the bride in San Francisco, and me and the wedding venue in Atlanta, we all floated through the big event and gave over to Melissa all the last minute details and issues. Our wedding on March 28, 2015 was just perfection to us on so many levels, and Melissa is one of the reasons.

Melissa is kind, joyful, thorough, professional-all attributes that come into play when there is a large production to handle. So many little details where managed seamlessly so that we could focus our attention on the bride, all our family and friends and the wedding itself.

There is so much value in knowing that every plan and detail have been handled and there is someone ensuring that your wedding is a loving, happy memory. Bottom line-hiring Melissa and Pretty Swell Parties is money well spent to ensure that all your planning and efforts pay off with a event that you can enjoy and remember forever!

Thank you so very much, Melissa.

Thank goodness for Melissa! We hired her to be our day-of coordinator, and I'm so, so glad we did. She's just such a great person to have on your team! All through the planning process, she was a total professional. She helped us to figure out where it was most important to focus our efforts in planning. She also recommended wonderful people to us for other services. And on the day of the wedding, she was completely unflappable! It made the day of the wedding so easy, because Melissa kept everything running so smoothly. I've heard stories about wedding planners who encouraged couples to spend more money on everything, but Melissa seemed to do the opposite. She's been to enough weddings to know what is important and what isn't, and she really discouraged us from spending more than we needed to on anything. Thank you, Melissa!

If you don't want to read a long review, Melissa and her staff are absolutely phenomenal.
...
I am a rabbi, and have worked with many wedding coordinators through the years as the officiant of celebrations. I first Melissa in this context, as she was the coordinator of a good friend of mine whom I had the honor of marrying. She was friendly, helpful, and anticipated possible needs before I even expressed them.

Based on that experience, my fiancé and I then hired her to be our wedding coordinator.

As is the case with most weddings, we had a lot going on. Limo driver, photographer, band, DJ, photo booth, pies (instead of wedding cake), bars, a pre-event for the women, a pre-event for the men, a pretty wild wedding party, and all of it coordinated so that I did not see my bride in the 24 hours before the wedding (up until her walking down the aisle) ... Melissa organized it all (and there's more than I listed!) with aplomb and professionalism. She told us we wouldn't need to worry about anything and just as was my experience when I served as an officiant, she anticipated things before they happened. We were able to COMPLETELY enjoy our wedding day. Both my fiancé and I are type-A personalities, and it was an absolute joy to be able to "let go" for the night!

Just one small example: We realized a few days before the wedding that we did not have a challah (the bread eaten at a Jewish wedding). I emailed Melissa to see if she could check if the caterer would bring one. She wrote back that she would get in touch with the caterer, but if they did not provide one, she would go to Whole Foods and buy one. This is but one example (of many) of her helpfulness.

We just got married yesterday (11/2), but it was important to us to write this review today before we left on our Honeymoon. Our wedding party and our parents found her and Nicole (her assistant at our wedding) to be a complete delight, and many commented on how fantastic both of them were.

Hire her!

I used Pretty Swell Parties for my wedding in June at the Cator Woolford Gardens, and Gina was my day-of coordinator. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with both Gina and Melissa. I had originally not planned on a day-of coordinator, as I was on a tight budget; however, my venue required that I use one, and it was definitely worth it. They were both incredibly helpful from the first meeting, and more than happy to offer suggestions and tips on vendors and other wedding-related planning ideas ahead of time (some day-of coordinators I spoke with had in their contract that you couldn't contact them more than one month ahead of time if you were hiring them only for their day-of services). Also, their help came as a relief as I had no idea what I was doing! I was planning from another state, so Gina skyped me into meetings and was very responsive to e-mails, making this process as smooth as possible given the challenges! Finally, Gina and her assistants were wonderful on they day of the wedding. Gina was a very calming presence helping me to navigate some last-minute stresses (e.g., rain on the day of our outdoor wedding), and she and her two assistants were so nice and friendly to our entire bridal party. They also very kindly gathered all of the bridesmaid's and my belongings from the bridal suite and had it waiting for us when we were about to leave. I can't recommend Pretty Swell Parties enough.

We couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner/day of event coordinator as Melissa Bloomfield. She was there to help every step of the way. She helped us make decisions and made valuable recommendations to help the planning go smoothly. She calmed us when 3 inches of rain fell during our rehearsal for our garden wedding. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up just as we imagined and our wedding was both beautiful and flawless, thanks to Melissa and her assistant. It was such a memorable wedding for both of us. At the end of the night, Melissa ensured that everything was packed and my parents were able to leave the venue without a care in the world. Thank you Melissa for all you did to help us have an amazing wedding! You are the best!

Melissa is ahhhhhmazing! We live in Dallas, TX and planned our entire wedding through Melissa. She has flawless vendor connections, impeccable taste, and infinite amounts of patience. I cannot tell you how many times our guests told us our wedding looked liked something you'd see in a magazine. Melissa truly was above and beyond anything we could have hoped or dreamed for. Any mishap was quickly fixed and taken care of. For example, my partner wanted to surprise with a sweet message sewn onto the hem of my wedding dress. Some mix up happened and my dress was shipped out before the message was sewn in. Melissa personally hand stitched the message onto the hem. For reals y'all. It was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

My wife, Blake and I had the pleasure of using Pretty Swell Parties as our Wedding Planners and are SO glad we did. Originally, we were unsure if a Wedding Planner was a priority within our budget, but Melissa and Gina were worth every penny, and then some, then some more. They were organized, professional, knowledgeable, helpful and every other positive adjective that I can't think of.

There is a lot of stress in planning and executing an event like a wedding, and they completely shouldered the burden. My wife and I felt completely at ease the day of our wedding, because of how well everything was planned out. Being neurotic like I am, I kept waiting for "that thing" to go wrong. It never did. They wouldn't allow it. I still can't believe the event was as smooth and precise as it was.

There were also several unique family dynamics involved in our wedding. This lead to many concerns, but Melissa and Gina were able address them ALL. We were very clear about what we did and did not want to happen. They made a plan an executed it perfectly.

I could go on and on, but won't. Please feel free to email me if you are thinking about using PSP, but need a referral. I'd be happy to go into detail about how great they were. I feel bad for anyone who doesn't use them.

Melissa and Gina are a dynamic duo. I received their names from our florist (Boukates) and couldn't imagine our wedding with out them being a part of it. We hired them for day of coordination and couldn't have been more pleased. Their process starts 6 weeks out and followed through after the wedding as we couldn't remember who actually took all the cards home. As worry wart, they put my mind at ease. Their eye for detail and constant communication are unmatched. With them in charge, I knew my wedding vision and dreams would come to life. My mom tells everyone that if she had to do it over (which won't be happening), they would be the first people to call and the best money her and my dad spent on the wedding. They would have happily paid double had they known how invaluable they were to pulling off the perfect stress free day.

We hired Pretty Swell Parties to provide day of coordination services for our wedding in April, 2014. It was the best decision I made!! I was so easy to get in touch with Gina when I had a question about anything along the way! The organization of her planning was so impressive. She was always so respectful of me and my family and worked so hard to make everything perfect.
We got married at a garden in Atlanta and it rained the night before our wedding. The morning of our big day, Gina called to discuss our options for ceremony locations with the current weather. We decided that it would be best to get married under an available tent. Of course I was upset because I wanted to get married in the garden and Gina picked up on my disappointment. She called me back about an hour later and told me she had a coral umbrella to use for some of my pictures! She also suggested that I wear some Hunter rain boots under my dress! I loved the idea and she had already put them on hold at Nordstrom. It was rainy and we were going to make this best of it!
Things happen on wedding days that aren't expected. Gina and her team helped to make everything run smooth and added special touches to our day that will never be forgotten. It was great to have them be a part of our wedding day!!

It would take much more than a page to list all of Melissa's wonderful qualities and how happy we were that we hired her to help plan our Atlanta wedding from D.C. She is thorough, professional, classy, tactful, but most importantly, friendly and relatable. Melissa started with our venue search and stuck with us when we were trying to make the impossible wedding happen in North Georgia. We finally settled on an Atlanta venue, and she worked tirelessly to take care of the little details that went into the big day. My now-husband and I are both in school and working, and Melissa worked around our schedules for phone calls and gave us nudges when a big decision was coming up. I frequently relied on her for advice that was probably more in the Mom department than wedding planner extraordinaire, but Melissa never missed a beat and even acted like she ENJOYED the process. In fact, I think she may live for spreadsheets and organization. :) I *always* felt like Melissa had time to talk with me and she did a great job managing our vendors, particularly when we weren't quite communicating well with them. Melissa has a great relationship with the Atlanta wedding community and always took the reigns when I wanted/needed her to. The weeks leading up to the wedding, she called to make sure I wasn't stressing out and talked through what she could take off my plate. Melissa never seemed stressed, always had a great solution, and made me calm about the process. Through her knowledge of the Atlanta wedding community and event planning, she SAVED us money! I can't tell you how many times Melissa said, 'Hey I've been assembling so-and-so for you all day!' Read: spray painting, gluing, cutting, etc. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, we always said that we would say this- she's worth way more than she charges. :) If I had to do it all over again, I would re-hire her in a heartbeat.

Melissa was unbelievable. She was prompt, flexible, dependable. We started working with her 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. She was easy to work with, friendly, had great ideas. She took care of all the last minute things like contacting the vendors, doing a timeline, and keeping us on a track. She took the last minute stress off of the wedding party. The day of the wedding I, the mother of the bride, felt like a guest at my daughters wedding. If I asked her a question she was on it immediately taking care of it. She did a great job officiating the wedding also. Everybody know what they were supposed to do. At the end of the night she told me to go home and she would take care of wrapping up the night. That was the best part and she was worth every cent.

Gina provided day of coordination for my wedding and she was fabulous! She was always more than willing to answer any questions I had, and provide referrals for other vendors. She is one of the sweetest women I have ever met, and was so amazing! She helped with every detail I needed, big or small, and always had an answer for me. Her calm nature helped me feel at ease during the planning process, and on my wedding day I never felt nervous or stressed because Gina had everything under control. I would DEFINITELY recommend her!!

Melissa was amazing to work with. She was very timely, organized and on top of everything. She had helpful suggestions and was more than willing to help with anything associated with the wedding. Not only did she do a great job and help everything go smoothly, she is so sweet and enjoyable to work with. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone looking for a wedding planner.

Melissa was such a fantastic help for our wedding! So friendly and down to earth... extremely helpful and a great resource for anything wedding or party related! While she offers full wedding planning services, we hired her for day-of coordination and I'm so happy we did. She was always very helpful with any random planning question I had when we were still 6-8 months out from our big day... whether it was about finding vendors, stuff to look out for, making suggestions on people to contact, etc... she was so happy to help us and I felt very confident handing over the reigns to her in the last couple of weeks. And she also kept reassuring me that it was OK to send her multiple emails a day as our wedding day got closer and closer - which was good to hear!! Very flexible on setting up our meetings which was great since we're not super close geographically. I don't think I ever went more than 24 hours waiting for a reply from her whether it was email or text. Usually it was within an hour or two! Always available to talk on the phone if needed, too. I can't imagine not having her on our side for our wedding day. She made the day feel seamless and I really had no worries that anything would go wrong. Would recommend to all my friends! She was also the most affordable out of about 3 or 4 other coordinators I checked with too :)

Melissa Bloomfield was amazingly helpful for our daughter's wedding planning. We chose "Day Of" service but she helped us in so many ways with lots of details, suggestions, and coordinating schedules. She was SUPER helpful during the reception, was always thoughtful, patient and kind. She came up to my daughter, the bride and I at different times to check on us, bring something to us that we might want (like my flat shoes to change into), and jumped in at any moment to make things run smoothly. She even had to do a quick stitch up with my dress where a hook and eye had come off at the last minute. Melissa is fabulous and I highly recommend her to everyone!!!

I fell in love with Melissa Bloomfield from the first time I met her. We interviewed several wedding planners before hiring Pretty Swell Parties for day of coordination of our March 8th wedding. For Melissa, "Day of" coordination consisted of "I'm there for you whenever you need me." Even at 8 months out from the wedding day she would respond to my e-mails within 24 hours, always offering thoughtful and helpful advice. The month leading up to the wedding was a breeze, knowing she had my back and was taking care of things behind the scenes kept me calm. The week leading up to the wedding was actually FUN. As a self proclaimed type-A control freak, Melissa kept me calm and smiling on my wedding day. Over the 11 month planning process she had already proved her value and competence and I felt completely at ease knowing she was wrangling all our vendors and executing our perfect even! Melissa is an amazing asset to have for your wedding and at the end of it all felt like a close friend. I couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Melissa from Pretty Swell Parties was invaluable to us on our wedding day as our day-of coordinator. There are so many things that would have fallen through the cracks if I had been responsible for them. For example, I drove up to the venue, handed her my keys, and she took care of taking everything out of my car and setting it up. Somehow my cake topper, which I hadn't even discussed with her previously, ended up on top of my cake. It was raining that day and we had to move our outdoor ceremony under a huge tent. I didn't even think about any of the logistics, Melissa took care of everything, but also checked in with me to make sure it was done how we wanted. She has the perfect mix of professionalism and friendly familiarity. And she was good at wrangling our giant families and keeping things on schedule. I highly recommend Pretty Swell Parties! This was one of the best uses of money on our wedding day to keep us sane and happy.

Melissa with Pretty Swell Parties was amazing to work with. She provides full-service day of coordination, ensuring no details fall through the cracks. I never for a moment felt stressed on my wedding day, and had 100% confidence that everything was being taken care of. She shielded me from needless questions, ensured I had something to eat and drink, and kept me calm when I tried to be involved in too many things. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her to any bride. You will not be disappointed!

Melissa was the perfect partner for my wedding day. She was incredibly responsive and resourceful. She always had a great recommendation regardless of what I needed (musician, alterations, car service, etc.) Her approachable and sweet attitude made every meeting enjoyable. She instilled confidence in me immediately that she could handle anything for us with grace. Our entire wedding day was truly flawless and such fun because we knew Melissa was on the job. I can't say enough great things about her!

Melissa with Pretty Swell Parties is a dream wedding planner. She planned and coordinated my wedding with me over the course of my one year engagement. WOW I am so unbelievably grateful that someone referred me to her!! I met with three other planners/agencies before I met her and when I met her I knew she was the right coordinator for me. Thoughtful, professional, so sweet, and passionate about her job and her brides. Through the planning process I could count on her for everything- setting up vendor appointments, giving me advice, helping me with tough decisions, working with me on my budget, and the list goes on and on. She was lightning quick to respond to emails and always willing to do whatever she needed to help make my planning process stress free and fun. I never had to worry about all of the little details because she had them covered before I could even think about them. When the wedding weekend rolled around, WOW! She was so unbelievably helpful in making sure everything ran smoothly and was perfect in every way- from the decor to the food to the pictures and more. I received many compliments after the wedding from attendees saying the wedding was one of the best they've been to, and I know a main reason behind that is because Melissa was behind the scenes making it all happen! I will forever be grateful to Pretty Swell Parties for making my wedding and wedding planning experience an absolute blast and wonderful time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Melissa!!! You are the best at what you do and any bride would be lucky to have you plan their wedding!!! I sure was!!

Our experience working with Melissa for the coordination of our wedding was outstanding! Her organizational skills, connections in the industry, attention to detail and professionalism made her indispensable. Her knowledge and calm demeanor proved very important through the planning process. We were able to truly enjoy our wedding day and not worry about any of the details, as we were confident Melissa would handle everything. We highly recommend Pretty Swell Parties for anyone planning an event in their life, they make it seamless and fun!

Melissa served as our day-of coordinator for our wedding in April, but she really went above and beyond that and was incredibly helpful to me throughout the planning process. She was always super responsive to emails and phone calls and actually referred me to a few of our other vendors as well. Melissa was great in answering any questions that I had (even those that fell outside her area of responsibility) and helped me make some of the important decisions associated with our wedding day.
Once we got close to the wedding day, I interacted with Melissa on a regular basis and she really took over as coordinator from there on out. In the last few weeks she really helped me a lot by taking several things off my plate, which was incredibly helpful! Once the wedding weekend arrived, she continued to be fabulolus and it really put me at ease to know I could rely on her. I trusted her completely and knew that she would make the day go off without a hitch, which she did! All of my friends and family were raving about how great she was, and I really don't know what I would have done without her! She not only was great at her job and super organized, attentive, and repsonsive, she was also super sweet and absolutely fabulous to work with! Everything you would be looking for in a wedding coordinator!!

Melissa is a dream! When I started planning my wedding a year and half ago, I had no idea where to begin. We had so many questions and ideas bouncing around in our heads and we needed advice pronto. After a bad experience meeting with a very expensive and extremely conceited wedding planner, a friend of mine that works in the wedding event industry recommended Melissa to me and I set up a meeting right away. She was always so prompt in getting back with me and we scheduled a first meeting just to get all of our frustrating questions answered about how to begin the planning process. This was even before we decided to use her as our wedding planner! I knew right away after meeting with Melissa that she was the perfect planner for me to work with as she was trustworthy, helpful, organized, incredibly nice, cool, calm, and collected. Melissa was always there for me to talk to about many different things whether it be through a phone call, a text, meeting, or email- ANYTHING I had a question or concern about she was more than happy to answer and help out with her opinions and advice. She was ALWAYS willing to help with whatever I needed and she really made my life so much easier during what can be a very stressful and daunting process. I honestly don't know if I would have made it through the whole wedding planning process without all of her help! From the amazing vendors she recommended, to sticking to the budget we had, to just being there for me as a friend and calming me down in my most frantic of moments, Melissa is nothing short of spectacular. She is so organized and truly knows what she is doing. I really felt like a guest at my own wedding- as did my husband and my parents. It was the best day of my life- and I owe it all to Melissa. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect and beautiful wedding- it was everything I could have ever imagined it would be and more. You will be so happy that you hired Melissa as your wedding planner- trust me, she is beyond amazing!

We could not have asked for a better day of coordinator than Melissa Bloomfield. We were so lucky to find her and could not recommend anyone more highly than we recommend her. Melissa's warmth and friendliness make her a superb choice to handle coordination of all your vendors. While we chose to only hire her for week of coordination, the level of service was outstanding, and we did not feel like she treated us any differently than she would have treated us if we had employed her for the full panoply of services she provides. She promptly responded to questions we had during the planning process and was a blessing during the wedding day itself. She happily retrieved medication for my groom from the hotel during the reception, and she handled herself beautifully despite a somewhat difficult liaison at the church. She also helped us navigate a tricky situation with a family member. Finally, as an added bonus, she directed us to a great restaurant in Paris that we were able to visit during our honeymoon.

My husband Cole and I worked with Gina as our Day-Of Coordinator for our wedding this past August. We were pretty clueless about planning a wedding and are very "go with the flow" people, and Gina stepped in and helped out a lot. She was quick to offer recommendations for other local vendors and give advice about factors to consider when making different decisions for the wedding. As someone who was pretty clueless, it was almost overwhelming, but good to know.

We began working together about 8 weeks before the wedding, when Gina sat down with me and gave us a specific checklist of things to do. It was much more specific than any generic list you might find online - It was tailored to us and our wedding and helped a ton. She also took care of the rehearsal and the ceremony/reception seamlessly - Cole and I were never worried about a thing. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I can honestly say I don't know about it. I even found out after the fact that she had taken care of issues with the cake that had come up before the wedding - I never knew! We loved working with Gina and Pretty Swell Parties and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a wedding coordinator!

We used Melissa of Pretty Swell Parties to be our day of coordinator for our wedding. Immediately after meeting Melissa we knew we wanted to hire her to help us on our big day. She has a great personality and is really easy to work with, plus she is truly a professional. We felt like she really listened to every detail that we wanted for our wedding day. She has such an eye for detail and is extremely organized and reliable. She shows up on time and assisted with my other vendors during my wedding; which made our day of experience so MUCH easier. She truly went about and beyond to help us leading up to the wedding date and on the actual day.We could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Definitely, referring her to EVERYONE we know.
