Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Nicole Fuller was our Wedding Planner and she was an absolute gem sent from heaven and we were so lucky to be matched with her. She was so "on it" from the moment we hired her - giving recommendations, helping keep us on track with wedding planning, and making sure every part of our day went absolutely perfect. I loved that I was able to "level" with her and get her honest opinion or advice on certain situations - she seemed more like a trusted friend or family member than someone who we hired, but still so professional and polished. My mom and I loved her from the start, but the icing on the cake was when my dad told us (after the wedding) that Nicole came to check on him multiple times in the evening to say "Just a heads up, your FOB speech is coming up, are you ready?" or "The father/daughter dance is next, just an FYI!" and that just blew us away - that level of service!! Not to mention, when we were getting ready, the flowers showed up and didn't look exactly like my Pinterest board and I was bummed. She quietly altered all of my bridesmaids bouquets (without me even suggesting/or asking her) while we finished getting ready -- what an absolute angel!! She answered all of my texts, phone calls, emails, etc. and was always positive. THANK YOU NICOLE!! You are THE BEST!!! I would hire her again a million times over!!!

Dream Team Planner!

When my husband and I had to postpone our wedding due to covid, we ended up changing venues, so I reached out to Mele Amore. I had already pretty much planned my entire wedding and had to start over with the new venue. I was nervous about what packages were offered and if we would be able to find something that worked. Luckily for me, Michelle was extremely flexible and created a custom package for us and it was smooth sailing from there. Everything about working with Michelle was a dream. I am an extremely type A/perfectionist/overly organized person and was nervous to annoy my new planner, but Michelle made me feel so comfortable and was always on the same page as me. Any requests or ideas I had, she could see my vision. I’m sure a lot of couples are concerned about wedding budget, but Michelle was extremely conscious of our budget, prioritized our wants and needs and even made sure there was flexibility in our budget while still getting everything we wanted for our wedding day. A lot of people told me that planning the wedding would be one of the worst parts of the wedding, but I had the complete opposite experience. I enjoyed every minute of it, thanks to Michelle. She was more than a pleasure to work with and I really feel so close to her now. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner and there is no way I can thank her enough for everything she did for us. I couldn’t recommend Mele Amore more and know that you will be in the best hands.
With so much love, a very happy bride/newlywed :)

Incredible Service for Day of Coordination

Mele Amore was an excellent decision. We had Nicole Fuller as our planner, and she went above and beyond to make our wedding day operate seamlessly. We purchased the "Day of Coordination" package, but she responded to all my questions via email in a timely manner even prior to 3 months before our wedding. She's incredibly organized and concise, offers guidance on any preferences, and ensures your wedding day runs on time. As a bride who has planned many events professionally and wants to fully enjoy her wedding without any concerns, Nicole always made sure my husband and I were taken cared of on the day of. I truly appreciated that. She is the absolute best, and we loved working with her throughout our wedding!! Thank you so much, Nicole!!! I highly recommend hiring them. You won't regret it. :)

Great company, super professional!

Ready for anything and everything. Had amazing and endless recommendations to help find exactly what you want. I worked with Michelle Groom and she pulled off everything flawlessly. Was available for questions no matter how small. She really was a huge part of my wedding, all behind the scenes. Thank you so much girly. I’ll never forget it, or you. Thanks again! Xoxo

Michelle, was absolutely amazing!

Michelle and her team was absolutely AMAZING. I was referred to Michelle from a close friend/florist. I spoke to Michelle and told her my vision and she truly made it all come to life. I had so many questions throughout the process and she was so quick to respond. We had to delay our wedding due to covid which was extremely stressful, but Michelle kept us at ease and helped us every step of the way. As a total control freak, I was so nervous to put such a big day in someone elses hands. And there is nobody else I would have trusted with this other then Michelle. She exceeded ALL of our expectations. On my big day she was one step ahead of me every time. Whether it was forgetting my garter, needing a mint, finding flip flops for beach photos etc she always was there to save the day. My day was absolutely seamless and I owe this all to Mele Amore!! THANK YOU, again. For everything you did. Our wedding was a dream come true and you made this happen!!!

LanAnh, you are the best!

LanAnh and the Mele Amore team are true professionals and they were the best decision we could have possibly made in all our wedding planning! LanAnh is completely professional, but also so fun to be around and always made me feel like things were under control and managed throughout the whole planning process. She was a wonderful listener and really made our dreams come to life, especially since we definitely didn't know where to start. She always kept things simple, communicated clearly, and helped us stick to our budget. The wedding day ran so smoothly and perfectly and I am so so grateful to LanAnh and the team for making our special day amazing!

Worth every penny

I decided to hire a day-of / late-planning-stage coordinator to help make sure that the day could be relaxing and not too stressful for me, my fiance, and our friends and families. I ended up choosing Mele Amore after meeting with several candidate companies. We worked with Michelle and Quyen, meeting them several times in person with lots of communication over the phone and email. They were great, especially on the day-of. I can't imagine the stressful mess the event would have been without them. It was worth every penny to know that such a great team was looking after all the details, closing loose ends with the vendors, and making sure that the day was going as smoothly as possible. Case in point: one of our two cakes fell apart and wasn't able to be served, and I didn't know until a month afterwards! Doing the early planning and vendor selection while working full-time was hard enough; it would have been extremely difficult and stressful to have managed the final week and the day-of on my own. It was so wonderful being able to just be present and enjoy my wedding day instead of having to worry about the details. I'm so happy I decided to hire Mele Amore - just do it, I promise you won't regret it. :)

The Team at Mele Amore helped us plan our dream wedding last month. The level of service and care were above and beyond and we are so grateful for their help. LanAnh helped us select the best vendors and was instrumental in our beginning stages of our planning process. She helped us find our photographer, event space, make up artists, florists, uplighting, Dj/MC, officiant, you name it... she had suggestions and quality suggestions at that. Planning a wedding is a really difficult task and really overwhelming for a newly engaged couple with only 6 months before the wedding date. LanAnh's assistance was crucial and made everything so much smoother than we had anticipated for our 200+ guest wedding that was within our budget! Later in the process we were assisted by Michelle & Nam, who coordinated with our vendors and helped us with everything for the wedding day. They have such a calming influence. Their level of detail and service was remarkable and flawless. We had copies of our itinerary & to-do lists that were broken down and easy to manage. They literally were so organized and kept track of everything for us. We both work FULL-TIME so having to not jump onto the computer in the evenings to jot notes, update our to-do list, and do EVERYTHING ourselves was a big relief. I started my own spreadsheets and to-do lists in the beginning stages of planning and ended up not using them because Mele Amore had everything covered. Michelle & Nam were our day of team and the timing was perfect. Based on Michelle's itinerary, we had more than enough time to get ready, take photos, be on site, and we didn't miss/skip/overrun on anything. Nam was a complete sweetheart as well. He made sure we ate and had nourishment throughout the day! :) This team does not just meet your expectations, they anticipate your needs before you know you even need it. This is the service that is rare and exceptional!! Thank you guys.

Just had our wedding this past weekend and it was the greatest decision we ever made to hire LanAnh and the rest of the Mele Amore team! People say you can plan your wedding yourself but I completely disagree. LanAnh made EVERYTHING stress free for us from day 1 - from picking the venue to making sure our vendors/contracts were all booked. We had heard about Mele Amore since they helped plan our friend's wedding and I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning an upcoming wedding!

I am the type of person to stress about every little detail but with LanAnh, I was able to relax and have her guide us every step of the planning process. She made sure we were on track with the timeline and payment deadlines, provided AWESOME vendor recommendations, and lots of helpful suggestions throughout the year. She put in 100% effort in helping us get what we wanted and was on top of everything.

During the day of our wedding, I felt calm and relaxed knowing that LanAnh had my back if anything were to go wrong and she did such a great job moving us along our scheduled timeline, coordinating with the vendors, and even making sure we had food/water since we were running around all day in the sun! I lost my lip gloss and she had a brand new lip gloss in her handy dandy fanny pack (along with a bunch of other back up items like sewing kits etc). Her team set up everything SO beautifully at the venue and I can't imagine not having them with me that day! At the end of the night, they had put ALL our ceremony items (guestbook, cardbox, frames/decor) back into our room neatly and even kept my bouquet and the top tier of our wedding cake for us. We were STARVING since we didn't have time to eat at our wedding and LanAnh's team packed us food knowing we were running on empty stomachs.

I am super grateful to have had such a wonderful team by our side on our wedding day and can't emphasize enough how great Mele Amore is!!! Definitely need to hire them!

Mele Amore made my dream wedding come true! Can't say enough about LanAnh and her team. Their experience and expertise show throughout the whole planning process and especially the day of. I didn't have to worry about anything!!! I wish I could have another wedding just so I can work with them again!
