Not just an event planner but a friend by the end!

I can't recommend Melissa and her team enough. We knew when we chose Melissa that she would bring her unique and wonderful sense of style to everything we did, and we were right. Melissa introduced us to our florist, Doan Ly, who we couldn't have been more obsessed with. She helped us connect with our DJ, Chances with Wolves, who we had always wanted to work with. She was calm, cool, and collected at all times, including on the day of the wedding. My mom and I got drinks with her a few months later because we genuinely enjoy her company and felt like we were friends by the end of the whole process! Melissa is the whole package: fun, friendly, organized, and has an incredible eye. She helped us turn the Weylin into something fun and funky which was exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you, thank you, Melissa!

Best wedding team ever!

Melissa, Ariel, and the team are the absolute best! My husband and I are so grateful that we chose them to coordinate our wedding, and if we could do it all over again, we would have asked them to plan the whole thing from the very beginning. We could not have had a better experience - Melissa, Ariel, and the team are consummate professionals and hospitality experts with impeccable design taste and attention to detail. When they took over, I never had to worry that something was going to fall through the cracks - I was able to relax and trust that everything would go according to plan. They helped so much with overseeing the day-of design, communicating with all vendors, and communicating with me. Melissa and Ariel knew exactly how to handle every issue that arose and guided us throughout the entire evening. Most of all, they are the loveliest people and great fun to work with. They helped us have the most wonderful wedding day and we cannot thank and recommend them enough! We hope that we have the opportunity to work with them again in the future!

The BEST planner!

Melissa and her team planned my sister's and brother in law’s wedding in April 2016 and did such an amazing job that my husband and I decided to use her for our own. In addition to bringing all of the obvious qualities you would want in a planner to the table - attention to detail, organization, creativity, and patience - she is also such a kind and wonderful person who brings laughter and fun to the entire process. Having her help allowed us to not only enjoy the months leading up to the day by eliminating the stressors that come with planning, but also truly made us feel like guests at our own wedding. We can’t recommend her and her team enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have now had the delight of working with Melissa with a number of different clients, and have been incredibly impressed with her at every turn. It is not often that great creativity and style is matched by amazing organizational skills and know-how, but with Melissa this is more than true. She has a great knack for making a couple's vision materialize - and for doing so with huge creativity, as well as precision. But not only will she ensure that your wedding or event is unique and represents you and only you, she will also guide you through all the logistics - anticipating any and all of your needs for and leading up to the big day. In short, you can be confident that your event, in addition to being beautiful, will be perfectly orchestrated. In addition to all this, Melissa's winning personality and sense of humor alone make her a joy to work with.
