Wedding Planner

My future daughter in-law was in tears when her wedding planner quit the company 2 weeks before the wedding! Along came Michelle from Distinctively Made Event Planning to the rescue!! She truly is everything you would hope a wedding planner would be. Her attention to details and management made it a truly magical wedding! Thank you!!

Michele is my rock!

Michele is amazing. From our very first conversation she made us feel at ease that everything was going to be ok. It was such a weight off of our shoulders to know that no matter what the situation, it would be handled in both a classy and cost efficient manner. DME was constantly available to us no matter what the day or hour and there were constant check ins to make sure that nothing fell through the cracks.

On the weekend of the event, Michele was a constant rock, managing a host of personalties and effortlessly adapting to keep our families happy throughout. THANK YOU for making our wedding such a special day. You’re in very capable hands with DME and can’t go wrong.

Super helpful!

We hired Michelle to be our day of coordinator for our wedding at the Madonna Inn. Her and her husband were so important in making sure the day went smoothly, while allowing us to fully enjoy the day because we knew they had it taken care of. Michelle hired additional people to help set up our reception space in the short 1.5 hour time slot allotted for setup. She found a way to make sure our room was stocked with in-n-out burgers for the after party. She convinced the venue to let us dance for an extra half hour, and much more. We are so glad we had her there to make sure everything went well behind the scenes.
