Melanie Scott is the owner and lead planner for Details and Lace. Melanie has worked in the Charlottesville area for over 25 years. After many years of working for local employers, Melanie transitioned in 2007 to work in federal service, working for two organizations providing expertise in executive support, project management, and corporate event planning. Ready to work as an independent event planner and enjoy more of life’s happy moments, Details and Lace was created in 2017.
Sydnie Kostelac joined the Details and Lace family in 2019 and serves as an assistant planner. After completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from THE James Madison University, Sydnie relocated to Washington, DC where she got her start in the event planning industry working for a large international law firm.

Hiring Melanie is the best decision you can make for your wedding! From planning our wedding to rescheduling and planning a destination wedding due to covid, Melanie went above and beyond for us at each and every step!
I consider myself to be very organized and never thought about hiring a coordinator until my venue required it. I was admittedly skeptical at first, but after working with Melanie I am so thankful she was a part of our wedding. My family and friends continue to talk about how amazing she was, and how she made every single thing so incredibly easy for us.
One of the best parts of working with Melanie, beyond her kind and upbeat personality, is that she is incredibly organized and thorough. She assures that you won't have to worry about a single thing on your wedding day and even ran last minute errands for us to pick up our menus, batteries and candles. She coordinated with our other vendors, kept everything on schedule and setup everything perfectly using her expertise to add decor touches that I loved. My family and I were able to enjoy every moment and I didn't need to assign tasks or have anyone running around doing a single thing. I'm not sure how she does it, but the second we would need anything (or not even realize we needed something), she was right there with it. Additionally, Melanie is in constant communication with you during the entire wedding planning process. She is timely in responses and does not limit the number of calls or meetings like a lot of coordinators that I spoke to before hiring Melanie. She is always willing to offer guidance and assistance when needed, but will also step-back and allow you to take the lead if desired.
Lastly, we appreciated Melanie's fair and reasonable pricing. After working with her, my husband and I have said multiple times that we are shocked that Melanie doesn't charge more as her services are invaluable. If we did everything again, we would be willing to pay double as she did SO much to make our day a total dream.
Thank you so much, Melanie. We miss you!

Amazing coordinator
Details and Lace took over my wedding when my original coordinator moved out of the area. They never hesitated and were there to answer all of my questions. They made sure our special day went on without a single hitch! Melanie is awesome!

Wedding Dream Team
Details and Lace was hands down one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. Melanie was so responsive from the very start and always eager to step in and recommend other vendors and help with any and everything wedding-related. When COVID-19 started altering our wedding plans Melanie and Details and Lace reassured us every step of the way that they would pull off our dream wedding, and they did! Melanie reassured and calmed any nerves, helped problem solve any problems that arose, worked with our venue and vendors to put together our dream wedding. Her team handled the wedding day like champs; calming nerves as needed, repairing dresses, organizing scattered groomsmen, ensuring we had food and water as needed. They helped bring our decorative vision to life, even letting us borrow an aisle runner, table numbers, and battery operated candles! We are so grateful to the Details and Lace team, they helped keep us focused on what truly mattered, getting married, by taking on the rest of the wedding day craziness. If I could given them more than 5 stars I would.
