We would highly recommend Melissa as the officiant for your wedding.  She is proffesional, organized and punctual while all maintaining a fun attitude allowing you to relax knowing you're in good hands.  Melissa is very well spoken and clear with her words making her the perfect choice as officiant.  We received many compliments (on Melissa's behalf) from our guests during our cocktail hour, reception and in the days to follow on how well she did and how nice of a ceremony it was.  Melissa has an extensive network of wedding related services and vendors in the Cincinnati area which was comforting because she already knew many of our other vendors through past experiences or through her position on the Reading Bridal District Committee.  Thank You to Melissa and hope this review can help you in your decision that knowing she is the best choice.

If you want to have a completely stress free wedding day, Melissa and her team are your planners. We chose Melissa for the "day of" planning services and could not have been more pleased. Her vendor recommendations were the best and sometimes they were people we would not have been able to find on our own! It was obvious to us that she is well respected and liked in the wedding world and her professionalism makes her easy for everyone to work with. She is by nature, a kind and easygoing person, but if a situation arises, she can be tough as nails while working on the bride and groom's behalf. We are so grateful for Melissa and her team, as we really did have the perfect wedding day!

Just amazing, nothing more needs to be said, it was all just perfect and any changes were dealt with a yes, and it was all done.

Hiring Melissa was the best decision of our wedding planning process. She is extremely knowledgeable of the industry and provided great vendor suggestions for us. She also has great relationships with a lot of the reputable vendors in southern Ohio, therefore really got the most out of everything. She took the stress out of the day of coordinating for my family and I. I am a bit of a control freak, and as soon as I met her I knew I could give my trust in her completely. Picture J.Lo from the movie the “wedding planner”and times that by 1,000. A few weeks before the wedding, she took over communication with the vendors which really helped me focus on other things. Every single request, big or small she made it happen with no questions asked. She also helped guide the day of ceremony and reception to find what flow was best for my husband and I. When problems would arise the day of, she had a solution in about 10-60 seconds. I am not kidding. There were probably a few other hiccups that happened, that I didn’t even know about because Melissa was on top of it. She has the talent of thinking 5 steps ahead and I really could not thank her and her team more. Melissa felt like another bridesmaid as I felt she always had my back during the wedding weekend. Everyone involved in the wedding, from the groomsmen to family members loved working with her and said how wonderful she is as well. I would recommend Melissa to anyone that is looking for coordinator or planning services. You definitely want her on your team!

Our wedding day was the most serene and smooth-sailing day I’ve had in a long time, and much of that is due to hiring Melissa as our day-of coordinator. She had everything organized to a T, everyone in their places and comfortable, and she could field everyone’s questions like the true professional she is. Everyone at our wedding loved her! Not only that, we didn’t have to lift a finger to breakdown at the end of the evening— she had everything organized, packed, and in the rightful hands of its owners within minutes. She even knew exactly what to do with our extra items and our floral arrangements. She asked what we wanted to do with our tabletop arrangements, and I had no idea— but she suggested donating them to Hospice! Like an angel, she even delivered them for us the following day.

Perfect job! Recommend for officiant and planner!!

Melissa is AMAZING!! She was wonderful about answering my questions and fitting all the little things I wanted into my timeline for my big day. She powered through everything I threw or at her with finesse. My bridesmaids loved her, my mom loved her, and she made it possible for me to relax and enjoy the party. Thank you!!

She was awesome! We would have never been able to do everything without her help. She made everything flow so easily and there was no stress at all. If you are looking for a wedding planner stop looking now and pick her!

She did a great job and really helped to make my brother’s wedding day extra special!

Jo was very helpful with my brother’s wedding. She kept everything organized and was such a great help. She worked really hard and made the day even better!
