Best wedding planner ever

There are so many things to say about Novelty Events. I'll say that Melissa is hands down one of the most personable and fantastic wedding planners that there is. She ensured that we felt like we were her only client. She has a great network and for anything we wanted, she made happen. Just to give you an idea.... WE HAD LLAMAS AT OUR WEDDING!!

I would recommend Melissa 10/10 times to anyone looking for a quality planner

We had the incredible pleasure of working with Melissa and her team at Novelty Events to bring our wedding dreams to life, and we can confidently say it was more than we could have ever dreamed of. From the very beginning, Melissa and her team demonstrated unmatched professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for creating memorable experiences. Every detail of our special day was meticulously planned and executed with precision, leaving us stress-free and able to fully enjoy every moment. Melissa took the time to understand our vision, and with her expertise, she turned it into a reality that exceeded our expectations. The dedication and personal touch Melissa brought to the table were truly remarkable. She went above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the wedding reflected our personalities and love story. The result was a celebration that felt uniquely "us" and left a lasting impression on us and all our guests. Communication with Melissa was seamless. We always felt heard and valued throughout the planning process, and her responsiveness made us feel at ease. We are eternally grateful for the role Novelty Events played in creating such a magical and unforgettable day.

Amazing!

Where do I begin!?! Melissa and her team are ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. We got married this October, but we started working with Melissa in September of 2021. From the moment we met with her, I knew she would go above and beyond to make our wedding day amazing (spoiler: she TOTALLY did!). Let's be honest, planning a wedding is daunting, especially when you aren't booking through a venue. From the get-go, Melissa put our minds at ease and truly walked us through EVERY STEP of the process. From our monthly meetings to the wedding planning portal, every single detail of our wedding was covered and discussed.

Melissa is a true professional and it is obvious she is an expert in her field. She gave great recommendations, suggestions, advice - she was really there to support us in any way we needed. She is extremely organized, thorough, great at problem solving and overall just a genuine and sweet person. It is obvious that Melissa genuinely cares about her clients and that compassion shows in the work that she does. On our rehearsal day, Melissa spent the entire day with us at the site getting everything setup, coordinating rental deliveries, helping me decorate, and more. She is everything you would want and need in a wedding planner!!

The day of our wedding was absolutely SEAMLESS thanks to Melissa and her team. They handled every detail with professionalism and ensured that no one bothered the bride and groom with any questions/needs which was amazing!!! My husband and I got to enjoy the whole day without a single worry about anything. They were awesome!

It is truly bittersweet that this process is coming to an end. In a weird way, I feel like Melissa has become a friend or part of our family and I will miss her! I would recommend Melissa and her team to anyone looking to plan a wedding. I will be forever grateful for everything she did for us over the last year. THANK YOU MELISSA!!!!!
