So Thankful for Marissa, Julia, and the Events by Melody Team

We truly cannot say enough good things about Events by Melody! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly responsive. Our day-of coordinators, Marissa and Julia, were absolute rockstars. They were not only on top of every little detail but also the kindest, most genuine people. The kind of calming, positive presence you want with you on your wedding day.

Thanks to them, everything ran so smoothly behind the scenes that we were able to fully enjoy every moment. We received countless compliments from both guests and other vendors about how amazing Marissa and Julia were, which just confirmed what we already knew. They truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

Hiring Events by Melody was one of the best decisions we made. 10/10 highly recommend to any couple looking for peace of mind and an exceptional coordination team. Thank you for everything!

Everything I could have asked for!

Melody was truly the greatest asset and support I could have possibly asked for during wedding planning. We hired Melody for event coordination & design for our wedding in Minneapolis in September 2024 meanwhile we are based in San Francisco, which meant we leaned on her heavily for all of her local vendor connections and recommendations - of which she has many and is loved by all. Over the course of the year+ we worked with her, Melody was so thoughtful in her approach to best align her recommendations to our unique wedding vision, was incredibly prompt and responsive to my many emails and questions for her, and was proactive and supportive in keeping us on track - exceeding our expectations every step of the way. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she managed all of our vendor communications and timeline coordination flawlessly and allowed us to feel confidently prepared for the wedding day without worry of a missed detail. On wedding day, everything went smoothly to plan and my now-husband and I were able to enjoy every moment because we knew Melody and her team had us covered, which was such a gift. Taylor, our lead day-of coordinator, was exceptional - nailed the execution on all of our details, kept us on time, was so warm and kind, anticipated our needs, and cheered us on. I’d highly recommend Events by Melody!

Worth Every Penny!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melody from Events by Melody for almost two years, booking her full services from the moment we got engaged. From start to finish, she was an integral part of making our wedding day unforgettable. Melody has an incredible eye for detail and gave us expert advice every step of the way. She recommended the best vendors, ensured no detail was overlooked, and made us feel confident as we approached our big day. All of her preparation and planning ultimately led to the perfect wedding day. Melody and her assistant Marissa made sure that the months of planning did not go to waste as everything went exactly to plan and our vision for the day was executed flawlessly. Melody and her team are worth EVERY PENNY! Their hard work and dedication made our wedding day so special, and we can’t thank her and her team enough. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will exceed all expectations and make your day truly magical, we highly recommend Melody and her team!

The best in the business

Events by Melody is the best in the business and a 5 star review is not sufficient to express the level of professionalism and service Melody and her team bring to wedding day planning & management. As Event Management clients, Melody and her team made sure our wedding day was perfect and it truly could not have happened with such ease without Melody and her team. We want to emphasize how Melody and her team cares for their clients and are committed to forming true relationships with the couples. We felt a sense of connection to Melody and her team and were touched by the level of care and personalism Melody and her team had for our wedding day. We were continuously impressed with Melody and her team’s communication, attention to detail, creative problem solving, thoroughness, attentiveness, and expertise. It was an absolute pleasure working with Melody’s team members, Julia and Angeli, on our wedding day. We felt calm, assured, and relaxed knowing Melody and her team had all the details covered. When reminiscing on our wedding day, Melody and her team are top of mind and easily the best choice we could have made for managing our special day. We could not recommend Events by Melody more!

Melody is a must have.

When my husband and I started discussing wedding planning, he said I should look up an old co-worker who started her own wedding planning business.... little did I know it was the best decision I made. Melody is truly a one of kind; she is professional, thorough, impeccable communication skills while being organized. I would have been lost in the entire wedding planning process without her. She spent countless hours communicating with potential vendors while keeping me up to date along the way. She always reached out when decisions had to be made and would provide guidance when asked. Melody responded to so many emails from me with enthusiasm and never made me feel like I was "too much". The vendors she recommended were top notch and made our day amazing; especially Judge Tom Armstong, Doggy Social, DayOne DJ, Phos lighting and Studio C floral. On the wedding day if something went wrong, I do not know about... to this day. The entire day was beautiful, perfect, more than I could have imagined; I truly believe Melody was a big reason for that.

Book them!

We are so glad we landed on Events by Melody to help with our wedding planning! Melody & Taylor were both friendly & organized in our preparation meetings - and then Taylor & Anna were rockstars on the actual day. Anytime I approached Taylor to check on something or ask a question, she had either already handled it or dropped everything to help! Their communications with our vendors and commitment to a smooth schedule eliminated so much stress for us. We would highly recommend Events by Melody to any couple looking for a day-of or long term wedding planner!

Unmatched!

No amount of words can properly express our gratitude for Melody, Julia and Angeli, who were critical to ensuring our day was everything we hoped it would be and more. We worked with Melody for event design and day of coordination and felt completely supported from day one. We were drawn to Melody’s professionalism and aesthetic after our initial meeting and what followed was months of support, guidance, expertise and true partnership. She is the best in the business. Thank you, Melody and team, for everything!

Responsive, Organized, and Kind!

Hiring Melody & her team for a day of coordinator was probably the best decision we made in the planning process- Julia and Kirsten's presence and management the day of our wedding let my husband and I be completely present rather than spending time worrying about logistics and details. Everything went off without a hitch- even if something did go wrong, we had no idea because it all came together so smoothly! Would absolutely recommend Events by Melody!

Melody helped assist me and plan a styled shoot at JX Event Venue. She was so helpful in creating a vision for our Spring styled shoot. Her professionalism and organization was so refreshing to work with! Hannah, one of their Assistant Event Coordinators, was actually the modal for the shoot. Her energy was so amazing, having her work any event would bring so much life to the table! Events by Melody is a preferred vendor of both JX & The Loft.

Quite simply, Melody is amazing. I was lucky to work with her as a vendor on a recent shoot and she made the whole process flow with ease. No issues getting what we wanted accomplished in a short time frame and she was super responsive, up the the task and always willing to help with sourcing vendors that we wanted to contribute. I have been imagining this shoot in my head for the last 4 years and she made it happen and I am so grateful. I would highly recommend her to any bride who wants a planner that is ON TOP OF IT ALL!

Melody is great and she has a good group of ladies that work with her to make sure your day runs smoothly. If I am not available for a date, I know that I can refer people to Melody and she will provide them with great service. She goes above and beyond for her clients and really does love what she does. She is also a great stylist as well.
