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!

Can't say enough great things about Melissa and her team! Not very often do people look back on a wedding and talk about the wedding planner, but that's exactly what happened with us. Everyone only had high praises for Mellie Bee Events. We had surprise rain, which meant last minute changes, and with 21 vendors, but even through all of that, Melissa and her team made sure that everything still ran as smoothly as possible. You want to think of your wedding day/night as the most beautiful and most memorable of your life and with the help of Melissa and everyone at Mellie Bee Events, that's exactly what my husband and I got. We recommend for everyone to hire Mellie Bee Events for your wedding!

If you're in a place to budget for a coordinator- DO IT. And when you do it, book Mellie Bee Events! These girls went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. From creating the timeline down to the minute, communicating with our vendors leading up to the big day, to making sure we had a plate of hors d'oeuvres, water, and a drink at all times!

Your wedding day flies by within a blink of an eye and something is bound to stray from original plans. Melissa, Thaolinh, and Emaly helped us set up, stay on time, and even helped me use the bathroom in my dress haha! Can't rate Melissa and her team enough. Thank you girls for everything!

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!

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!

Melissa was the best! She is super organized and detailed, a trait that allowed her to help make our vision for our wedding a reality. There were some hiccups during the planning process with another vendor and on the wedding day, and Melissa helped us through it and took care of it. Her ability to troubleshoot and problem is admirable. She also has a great eye for design. We walked into our reception amazed by the details that Melissa added to the decor. Melissa and her team took such great care of us. 100% would recommend for any couple looking for a wedding planner.

Mellisa and her team were phenomenal! Melissa is very detail oriented and takes the time to get to know you and your partner. With her calm and sweet personality, she helps make the process less stressful with her input and honesty. A year later, and my husband and I are still talking about her and her services being a big reason the day ran so smoothly. She’s awesome and helped answer all our questions and provided great suggestions. Thank you so much, Melissa! We are so appreciative! 10/10 recommend 🤗

Hiring Melissa as our wedding planner was easily one of the best decisions my wife and I made during planning. We were looking for a wedding coordinator who also offered design services, and Melissa offered a package that fit all our needs. Melissa was key to helping us stay on budget with our vendors while still helping us build a high quality and professional team. Since we live in NorCal and were planning a wedding in SoCal, Melissa was able to bring her knowledge of local vendors and assist with reducing wedding clutter by offering a variety of décor rentals as part of our package. She would always listen to our problems and provide constructive feedback and assist with troubleshooting. Melissa also went above and beyond to source her own connections to find unique and cost-efficient decorations that matched our vision.

As a day-of coordinator, Melissa and her team took great care to work with our venue and vendors to correct last minute issues. Even little gestures, such as offering boba/coffee or giving us a plate of appetizers once we finished cocktail photos, went a long way in making sure our wedding day went smoothly.

Melissa, thank you for your help in creating a day we will never forget.

Melissa was such an incredible blessing during the wedding planning process. Initially I was only planning to get the basic package (day of coordinating) as I did not think I needed too much help, but in the end I chose her mini planning package and I have no regrets. She's so detail-oriented and I appreciated her help in creating a vision board for me to achieve my design goals (I have never been a design person so to have Melissa take care of florals was a huge weight off my shoulders!).

I was also super impressed with how well she and her team organized everything and kept the day moving along according to timeline. If anything went wrong at all that day, no one had any idea that it did! She is so sweet and caring, but down to business when things needed to get done, and her patience in answering the million of questions that I had was unmatched.

If you are in the midst of wedding planning and need a coordinator, look no further than Mellie Bee Events. You are undoubtedly in good hands with Melissa and her team!

Melissa and her team are AMAZING! Best decision I ever made during wedding planning. Our wedding got postponed due to COVID, so we had to make a ton of adjustments to keep everyone safe. I was so stressed during it all, but Melissa reassured me every step of the way. I would always feel SO relieved after our meetings or phone conversations because she was always on top of everything.

Melissa is very professional, detail-oriented, and organized. She helped with my timeline (down to the little details you would never even think of!), vendor recommendations and meetings, decorations, menu, venue layout, and most importantly, staying within my budget. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and according to plan. She kept us on schedule, met with and directed vendors when they arrived, set up decorations, took it all down…everything. I was truly able to relax and enjoy every minute of the day, and I owe it all to her!

If you’re thinking about hiring a planner/coordinator…I guarantee you won’t regret it.
