It is no exaggeration when I say hiring Melanie was the best decision I made during my whole wedding process.

Like many brides I was on the fence if I even needed a planner (WOW was I wrong) but it wasn’t until I started seriously planning and meeting with vendors did I easily become overwhelmed. Melanie quickly became someone I trusted and could turn to to navigate the world of wedding vendors. Her contacts and network are a true reflection of the level of care she provides to both sides of the industry. Vendors love working with her and as a result vendors perform their absolute best. Her knowledge in this industry is unmatched and she is constantly applying lessons learned with each wedding she manages.

Do yourself a favor and hire her. By trusting Melanie and her team, this will free up time and energy for you and your partner to truly plan for the future. A wedding should be one of the happiest days of your life but the reality is that it can easily be the most stressful without the proper support. Melanie will make you feel supported every step of the way and on your wedding day, the only thing you will have to worry about is having a good time.

Choosing Details and Lace as the wedding planner for my daughter’s wedding was the best decision I could have made.
Melanie will forever be a part of our hearts. She is nothing short of outstanding.
She was first and foremost a calming source to my “nervous nelly personality” and the wheels behind planning the perfect wedding. She helped to create a fairytale that will always be the best day of my daughter’s life.
From the moment we started planning she took the time to listen to our vision and since paid attention to every detail.
She was patient, always sharing ideas while also accepting ours, attentive and all around a work horse.
She went above and beyond to ensure the wedding was all we hoped and worked tirelessly to ensure our guests had an amazing experience.
While we had a few hiccups along the way in the planning process (nothing on Melanie’s end), she was quick to find a solution, without showing the least bit of stress which again, calmed this mother of the bride down 😊
Being outside the Charlottesville area Melanie had to meet with me on many occasions to guide me. She always welcomed my visit and cleared her calendar to give me her undivided attention.
Together we went the distance to find the perfect vendor team to create the most magical day.
She has an abundance of connections in the industry and offered many options from décor vendors, transportation vendors, to venue choices for hosting our Welcome Drinks event and more.
She without a doubt was instrumental in creating the perfect wedding weekend.
I could go on and on, but I end with a final thought.
Melanie is a top-notch wedding planner and will now be, forever a friend.

Melanie and her team did an incredible job! I initially booked Details and Lace after my phone interview with Melanie because she made me feel so relaxed about the planning process and even helped me brainstorm ideas based off of my wedding vision. I felt confident that she would be able to handle all of the details and she and her team certainly delivered! We ended up having amazing weather for our March wedding, so she offered to move our wedding ceremony outside and was able to manage that flawlessly just two days before our wedding, despite all of our vendors being prepared for an indoor ceremony. She worked with all our vendors behind the scenes to perfect our timeline and ensure that everything was running smoothly. Melanie, Rebecca, and Cynthea were there on our wedding day and all of them were truly incredible. I’m sure there were some issues prior to and on our wedding day, but we had no idea if there was and thought the day was absolutely perfect! Melanie and her team made me feel so calm throughout the planning process and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you Details and Lace!

I cannot recommend Melanie and the entire Details and Lace staff enough! Hiring Melanie was the best decision we could have ever made. Melanie was a constant calming presence throughout the crazy wedding planning process. She made sure to listen to what my husband and I wanted, and was vital in ensuring that we had the best day ever. We could not have done this process without Melanie, and knew that our wedding was in good hands with Details & Lace!

Melanie and her team are amazing!! She and her team made sure that our ceremony and reception ran smoothly, she worked well with the other vendors and kept everyone organized. I would highly recommend her services if you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator. She and her team were easy to contact and answered any questions we had about the wedding day.

I highly recommend Melanie and the entire Details and Lace team. They were so helpful in every step of the planning and invaluable on the day of the wedding!

Melanie and her two assistants are AMAZING. All three ladies are so responsive and do whatever they can to help with the planning process. Wedding day the team was a lifesaver, keeping things on time, helping with guests and helping us to take breaths and enjoy our day. I highly recommend them... they will make your day so much more special and seamless.

Our daughter's ceremony and reception was flawless and fulfilled every wish the couple (and their families) had for the day. We could not have done it without Melanie's calmness, help and wisdom. The vendors she suggested knocked it out of the park and the Details and Lace team was a delight to work with. Our guests continue to rave about how spectacular the wedding was. Thank you, Details and Lace for an awesome job.

Melanie and her team are absolutely wonderful! I can not recommend her enough as a wedding planner. She is kind, thoughtful, and incredibly perceptive. She is so knowledgeable and truly puts her client first. She spent the time and energy to understand what everyone wanted for the big day and made sure it happened. I really just can't say enough good things about working with her. She goes above and beyond.

Melanie and Michaela were absolutely incredible. They were able to help us stay grounded and be more efficient in planning (even when things got really stressful) and made us feel at ease during the big day. I don't know how we could have gotten through everything without them. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone! They are kind, trustworthy people, and the best at what they do!
