No regrets for day-of coordination!

My husband and I got married in Pasadena this past June, and with over 300 guests we knew we at least needed a day-of coordinator to stay sane. Since I'm Vietnamese American, it was important to me to also hire a Vietnamese American coordinator who could understand any underlying cultural dynamics and be able to communicate with my side of the family, so Mellie Bee had been in the back of my mind for years even before I got engaged. Melissa put me at ease during our initial consultation and I appreciated her honesty about what services we would practically and realistically need, which is why I moved forward with booking.

Leading up to the day, I knew we were in good hands. Melissa and her team worked with us to put together a meticulous wedding day timeline and master checklist, combing through every single detail and trying to account for any potential friction points and setbacks.

During the rehearsal and on the day, Melissa was always checking in on us, letting us know we were being taken care of, and making sure to stay on top of everything. We had a few hiccups throughout the day that sometimes verged on panic-inducing, but Melissa and her team kept us calm and smoothed things over every step of the way. We loved the energy and enthusiasm they all brought, and they really helped our wedding be a fun and memorable experience that wasn't overcast by stress and mishaps.

Having a professional by your side is a must for any big event, and we highly recommend Mellie Bee Events! Thank you so much for all your hard work, Melissa!

The best anyone could ever ask for to plan and coordinate

My wife and I hired Melissa to support out vision of creating what we called the "wedding of the century" a little under 2 months ago. We had talked to her in great detail about what we wanted and of course, like with any wedding, most of if not everything we initially planned out changed, for the better, and Melissa and her team were holding our hands through the entire process. They made sure all the details were prepared in advance and ended up where they needed to be - she even drove to my apartment early the day of the wedding to pick up a, overstuffed SUV's worth of decorations and favors to get the off my hands and into her team's. Needless to say, she kept us calm, on track and within our timeline, got us food and kept us hydrated for a 8AM-11:30PM wedding. We were successful and our families are still talking about the wedding of the century.

Communication with Melissa were quick and she was always adjusting to and being flexible with my wife and I's chaotic work schedules to make sure we had time to plan and talk logistics. She picked up all the pieces we dropped or forgot and even had her team ghost around our elders to make sure they were okay too. We always had great vibes between each other and even after the wedding we text back and forth to check in.

Thank you so much Melissa and your team for making everything possible! She is a gem and anyone in her care would be lucky to have her watching your back as everyone else watches you be wed!

Best Day Ever!

Melissa was an absolute gem as our wedding planner and coordinator. We were so lucky to have had such an organized, creative, and focused planner by our side throughout the entire wedding planning process. What initially drew us to Melissa's services was her experience with tea ceremonies and Chinese/Vietnamese wedding traditions. Her deep understanding of these cultural aspects truly helped us bring our vision to life.
On the wedding day itself, Melissa and her team did an outstanding job of keeping everything on schedule. Their attention to detail ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly. They went above and beyond to take care of us throughout the entire day and night, making us feel at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy our special day.
I cannot speak enough praises for Melissa and her team. They were not only professional but also dedicated to making our wedding day perfect. If you are in search of an amazing wedding planner and coordinator, I 100% recommend Mellie Bee Events. She and her team were awesome, and we are forever grateful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
