Best Day with Gratitude! Worth Every Penny!

From day one, we felt as though Melanie had been our friend forever. Her easy and approachable manner made us comfortable in discussing all the details of planning our daughter's, and now son in law's, wedding. She listened intently and carefully, offering guidance about things we hadn't even considered which made all the difference in executing what our daughter had envisioned. Her ability to work, with great rapport, with the venue and all of the vendors made the whole process run smoothly from the start of planning to the big day. The day of the wedding everything came to fruition, largely because of Melanie, and the couple had the dream wedding they had envisioned without a snag (and if there was one, we wouldn't have known, because Melanie would have already troubleshooted and taken care of it). Melanie's organizational skills, eye to detail, and ability to relate to people lended itself to the execution of a perfect day that will be remembered and cherished forever. I cannot recommend Melanie enough. She is true gold!

Melanie is the best!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Melanie! From the very first meeting, she made us feel completely at ease and truly understood our vision for the day. Every detail was handled with such care — from coordinating vendors to managing the timeline and creating a seamless flow that let us fully enjoy the celebration.

Melanie has an incredible gift for anticipating needs before you even realize them. She consistently goes above and beyond at every stage of the wedding planning process. The week before our wedding, she even drove to the town where our guests were staying (at the time buses would be loading) to observe traffic patterns — just to make sure the buses would arrive and depart smoothly on the big day.

When my (now) husband broke his ankle weeks before the ceremony, Melanie didn’t miss a beat. Without being asked, she connected with all our vendors to explain the situation and brainstorm creative solutions to ensure he could still fully enjoy the celebration. Her thoughtfulness, professionalism, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience feel completely effortless.

We received so many compliments from guests on how smooth and beautiful everything was — and we owe it all to Melanie. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your dream wedding to life with professionalism, kindness, and heart, we couldn’t recommend Blissful Beginning’s name more highly!

Wonderful!

It was such a pleasure getting to work with Melanie! I was so impressed by her incredible knowledge of the industry. She was invested in learning about us as a couple and understanding our our vision for our wedding day. She was our advocate and guide throughout the planning process. Most importantly, she is kind, enthusiastic and genuine!
I cannot adequately express my gratitude for all that she did to make the planning process stress-free and enjoyable and bring all our wedding dreams to life.

The best of the best!!

500/5 stars. Where to begin?! Melanie was the perfect wedding planner in every way. From our first intro meeting, to the many planning meetings over the phone and in person, to our best weekend ever, she was the absolute best of the best and a true professional. She went above and beyond in so many ways I couldn't even keep track. From helping us pick our venue, to connecting us with the best vendors, to helping us make every little decision (yes, I was texting her pictures of my invites for wording help), she truly works her magic at every turn. Our weekend and our day were somehow not stressful at all thanks to her. I cannot imagine have gone through this process without her by my side. As you can see in my photo, nobody has your back better than her. Hire Melanie!!!!!!

Melanie is the best!!

Melanie was the best wedding planner we could have asked for. From our very first meeting, we could tell that Melanie truly cared and wanted to make our wedding perfect for us. We were all over the place when we started the process and Melanie was able to listen to our scatterbrained vision and immediately start pinning down details. Melanie has an awesome reputation in the industry, and you could tell the vendors (band, caterer, photographer, etc.) love working with Melanie. Melanie removed all of the stress of planning a wedding as she was extremely responsive and worked quickly with us to find alternatives when we hit a snag with budget or availability (or difficult family!). We had our wedding in a boathouse with no onsite staff, so Melanie organized the entire event from the ground up. Our wedding weekend could not possibly have gone more smoothly, and while it felt effortless it was clearly because Melanie was running around in the background keeping everyone and everything organized. If you want a fun, stress free planning process and a planner that handles everything to allow you to truly live in the moment and enjoy your wedding weekend then you need Melanie!

Melanie literally made my day

Melanie made my wedding a complete success. Not just the day, but the planning. All of it was pleasurable (never thought I'd say that!), well planned, organized, and everything I had envisioned. She told me the proper timing of all the logistics, referred me to the best pros, and was involved every step of the way. She was my planner, and also my JP. I called her every single time I had a question about anything, down to the invitations. She knew all the proper etiquette, but most of all, she was really good at handling ME! I enjoyed the entire lead up, and the day went so smooth, it was so much fun and every friend and family member has told us our wedding was the most elegant and fun. I will call Melanie every time a friend or family member announces an engagement. She is the BEST.

Melanie is a wedding EXPERT

After working myself in the wedding industry in New England for over ten years, I knew who to call to be my wedding planner when it was my special time. Melanie is a wedding expert at the tip top of the wedding game and everyone knows it. She knows everyone who is the best in the industry and has personal connections with them (therefore you can get something done faster and go to the top of that vendor's callback list). Melanie is funny, is trustworthy, is honest, is a lightening speed responder, and gets sh** done in a drama-free, expert, efficient way. 9months of planning is one thing. But my goodness....Especially for the rehearsal and day of the wedding logistics and LEADING a group of like 50 VIP people who were in some way involved w the ceremony, I could have NEVER done this without her. I didnt even have to raise my voice on the day of the wedding and I had 10 bridesmaids and a tight schedule. Melanie led EVERYONE involved with grace and on TIME. My wedding was literally perfect. I know I have Melanie to thank for that. And my husband:) I would gladly recommend Melanie with 10 stars. Did i mention she is also an ordained minister so she can sign your wedding papers??

The best decision we ever made.

Thank God for Melanie!!! My husband and I must have said that to each other about 1,000 times over the past two years. When I was looking for a planner, I distinctly remember the initial call with Melanie: she listened, she wanted to get to know us and our story, and she wanted to make our wedding happen just as we had always envisioned. She was straightforward and confident. It was clear she knew her stuff, and was one of the most organized humans I had ever met. I immediately trusted her and her judgment. Melanie helped us navigate postponing our wedding twice due to Covid, all with grace and patience as we dealt with the emotions and stress that came with the process. She was always available to talk things through, and she really vouched for us as we dealt with rescheduling vendors. When we decided to have a small civil ceremony last summer as we waited for the larger celebration, we asked Melanie to officiate. She was professional and personalized our ceremony beautifully. All of our guests, and especially our families, were beyond impressed with Melanie during the wedding weekend. She remembered everything, anticipated our every need, and made sure everything was handled so we could all relax and enjoy, which is really what it is all about! I could go on, but you get it: She's the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
