It's hard to express how little we had to use our brains on the day of our wedding. Melissa and Blue Moon took care of absolutely everything and all we had to do was have an unforgettable day. Things went so smoothly, I still can't believe it.

Melissa, from the get, was super easy to work with. She is nice, communicative, and of course professional. As a queer couple, we felt very well taken care of and celebrated by Melissa. She helped build and coordinate a wedding far superior to anything we had ever dreamed and we are so thankful for all her work

Melissa did such an amazing job as our wedding planner. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that our day went off flawlessly. She provided us with so much honest and helpful advice and was always so responsive via email and text. She was organized, thoughtful, attentive to detail and made sure that we were taken care of the entire day. She poured us wine at dinner, left us food in our hotel room for when we got back at the end of the night and even left out rose petals on our bed. You truly can't go wrong with Melissa - we would highly recommend Melissa as a wedding coordinator!

I don't even know if I have all the words to express how much I loved working with Melissa and Dee. Everyone knows the couple months leading up to your wedding are the most stressful and having Melissa there made it so much easier. She was hired as a day of coordinator, but she does WAY more than that sounds. (I feel like she should charge way more too) She was happy to read my crazy rambling emails when I just needed someone to reassure me that I was on the right track and had everything I needed. Her texts checking in on me definitely helped calm my nerves. On the day, Melissa and Dee went above and beyond! Everything went smoothly and my husband and I were completely oblivious to any mishaps that might have happened. She even went to our hotel room which was on site and tidied it up, placed leftover food in our mini fridge, lit a candle, and spread rose petals on the bed! The sweetest! I love her, she's the best, and you will definitely be in good hands with Melissa and her team.

We hired Melissa for wedding coordination, and she and her assistant Dee were amazing! Everything Melissa was involved with felt totally seamless. Leading up to the wedding, she provided us with tools to help us get organized, which helped us plan for details we hadn’t even thought about. The day of the wedding, I felt like I never had to have a thought about a single detail, which was the most incredible feeling. My parents, who created a lot of the elements of our wedding, including the flowers and favors, are also still raving about her! Melissa also worked with my family to surprise us on the wedding day and she even put a band-aid on my foot for me when I got a blister from dancing - she really went above and beyond! You will not regret hiring her!!

Melissa was exactly what we were looking for! We were very budget conscious and I was somewhat unsure about spending money on a coordinator. I plan corporate events as part of my job so I felt like I could handle the coordination myself, BUT I also know that every big event needs someone running the show on-site and I didn't want that to be my family or friends, and I definitely didn't want it to be me. We met with Melissa and she was very personable and extremely organized, and I felt confident that we could trust her with the reins on the day-of. She gave us a very fair rate for day-of-coordination. We did the wedding planning ourselves, but we always kept her in the loop (so there were no surprises) and she was always happy to weigh in if we wanted a second opinion. She ended up creating our detailed day-of timeline and reaching out to all of the vendors the week before the wedding to touch base, make sure everything was on track, and make sure they knew she would be the point of contact. She led our ceremony rehearsal the day before the wedding, and she and her assistant were rockstars on the day of. I was sequestered to the bridal suite most of the morning while things got set up, and every time I asked someone to make sure something was on track, she was already on it. I can be a worrier and I was concerned that I'd be stressing about the little stuff on our wedding day, but I really wasn't, and it was because Melissa gave me the confidence that everything was under control. There's really nothing more important than being able to be in the moment and ENJOY your big day, and that's what Blue Moon Event Planning allowed us to do.

So before I get into anything specific- Melissa (and Alex on the day-of) were absolutely fantastic. We had a meeting with another wedding coordinator a few weeks before we found Blue Moon and they showed up an hour late to our meeting saying they’d put us in on the wrong day. I’ve never been happier we looked for another coordinator. We didn’t have much budgeted for this in particular so we opted for just a day-of coordinator and Melissa worked with our price point very easily. The thing is… leading up to the wedding, Melissa went above and beyond just day-of duties. She kept us on track, made us a timeline, got ahold of our vendors… I mean, she really helped us plan the whole damn thing. Which was amazing since neither of us exactly knew what we were doing and seriously underestimated how complicated wedding planning is. On the day, my partner and I were the most stressed we’d ever been but Melissa and Alex did everything they could to take any unnecessary burdens off of us. I thought I was supposed to help set up! But they kept me in my bridal suite and even gave me some alcohol to calm my nerves. Honestly, I thought I was going to be stressed the entire day about how things were going, but as soon as I realized what an amazing job they all did, I didn’t have a care all night. She made sure my partner and I got canapes and champagne after the ceremony, she made sure we got the dinner we wanted, and that everything was spotless for load-out. I cannot say enough good things about Blue Moon. They take their jobs very seriously, but they’re also the nicest people. HIRE THEM.

A wedding coordinator was the one vendor that I thought I didn't need. However, my month-of coordinator, Melissa, turned out to be the most important vendor I hired. Melissa took all the hard word I'd done - researching and choosing all my vendors, designing all my wedding decor (table settings, making my own signs, designing floral arrangements, etc.) and even making my own wedding cake and dessert table - and tied everything together seamlessly. Being a Type A person, it was so hard for me to accept the fact that, on my wedding day, it was impossible for me to physically put everything together exactly as I had envisioned...but Melissa made that happen.
Pre-wedding: created a timeline and took over communicating with all my vendors until the actual wedding day; acted as the "bad guy" and said, "no," when my bartender wanted to bring in his own photographer to take photos for social media; orchestrated moving all my belongings and hair and makeup into a new room when mid getting ready, the air conditioner stopped working in my hotel room; she helped zip me into my tight ass wedding dress 😂; most importantly, she kept us on track and made sure we stuck to the timeline.
Wedding: Once I arrived at the venue, words can't even describe how happy I was with how everything looked. Melissa and her assistant, Dee, made sure everything was set up just as I had wanted. Every single detail was in order. They set up all the DIY decor exactly as I had planned; helped troubleshoot the caterer telling us last minute that they needed another table for appetizers; made sure my makeup and dress were on point during photos; when the ceremony started, as I started to come down the aisle, I was so nervous that I forgot my bouquet. I hadn't even noticed I forgot it until Dee ran over and handed it to me so fast, no one even noticed; at the end of the night, Melissa helped me decide what to tip each vendor; packed to go plates for my husband and I; wrapped up the top layer of my cake and sent it home with my mom; stayed until the very last minute to make sure all the things I wanted to take home were packaged up and sent with my family, and the entire venue was clean, ensuring I got my full deposit back. After all of that, somehow, Melissa was able to make it back to my hotel room to set up my wedding floral arrangements and sprinkle rose petals on the bed!
My wedding day was literally, the best day of my life and I can honestly say, a huge part of that is because of Melissa and her team. Melissa, thank you so much for everything...from the first meeting to the final hug at the end of the night. You are the absolute best and Andre and I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work!!! 😘

Melissa and Alex were a joy to work with. Easygoing, yet very responsive when needed, it always felt relaxed to communicate any concerns we had to Melissa whether it be about our venue/vendors or timeline. My wife and I opted for the day-of-coordination so when it came to transition/onboard the information, naturally there's always a bit of nervousness on how much of what we've planned together would execute as we imagined. Once we provided all of our vendor information, Melissa was able to take over by getting everyone on the same timeline arranging the best times and places for people to show up. Melissa, being patient and a great listener guided us through step-by-step on how everything would play out in detail and it eased our concerns we had. My wife and I were able to enjoy our most special day with no worries. We can highly recommend Bluemoon Event Planning being the center of your vendor team as they did not fail to deliver!

Melissa and her BLUE MOON staff were absolutely incredible. They were so on top of every detail that I didn't have to stress on my wedding day. They even packed up all the decor at the end of the night so perfectly as if it was
never all unwrapped. I'm so grateful for them! It was truly a magical day/night. They felt like family not like a hired event planning company. They are so friendly and so organized! We highly recommend using them for your next event!

Hands down the best investment made for our wedding! I literally could not imagine doing this without melissa and her amazing team! They were so organized and helpful and made sure my big day ran perfectly. Melissa met with me multiple times making sure all the littlest details were decided and organized in one perfect timeline and erika was my day of and made the rehearsal and actual wedding run so smoothly. Definitely will reccomend to everyone and use again! Thanks 💕
