We worked with Kristi. She was phenomenal. We brought her in about 6 months from the wedding date (after we had all the vendors, but were exhausted from planning the little things, since we had rescheduled twice already). We were in CA and our wedding was in Cleveland. We handed over the info and she made things happen. There were of course tasks for us (seating chart, etc) but she made it SO much more manageable and communicated seamlessly with our vendors.

One of the best things she did for us was make a timeline, which had plenty of leeway built in. OFTEN during my wedding day I was able to simply relax and enjoy the moment because we were on time, nothing was rushed, and everything was handled. There were no snafus (that I knew about). Kristi knew when to step up and corral relatives and when to blend into the background. After an emotional father-daughter dance, she came to check to make sure I was ok. She's great.

Honestly, our wedding would not have been possible without Oak + Honey. My now-wife and I were planning our wedding from across the country and the thought of trying to wrangle vendors and finding a venue was daunting. Melanie and Melissa helped us every step of the way, making a plan with us and keeping us on track. Their knowledge of the local vendors is incredible and we were happy with every recommendation. They also gave us incredible design tips and worked with our vendors with the result being a wedding that was exactly what we wanted, even with a last minute change of plans because of weather. If you decide to trust your wedding to Oak + Honey you can relax, you're in great hands!

After having a panic attack over wedding details and logistics we decided we needed to have a month of/day of coordinator. We found Oak + Honey and soooo happy we had Melissa and Melanie to help with the rest of our planning and day of execution. They were so incredible to work with, and we were at ease the day of. They saw our vision and helped it come to life! If there were any "fires" on the big day we never would've known. You not only get amazing service with Oak + Honey, but we feel like we gained new friends in the process. Thank you again Melissa and Melanie!

They are absolutely amazing!! Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!

Hiring Oak & Honey was the best decision I made!! Wedding planning was fun and stress free with Melanie! My decorated venue was breathtaking! She truly has a gift for pulling everything together to make it completely seamlessly beautiful!

Melanie Tindell and her Oak & Honey team helped to create two beautiful weddings for our daughters! She was flexible and dependable, creative and very well respected among all the vendors and venue management. Melanie organized our oldest daughter’s destination wedding in Michigan while we lived in Cleveland and the bride lived in Colorado. She worked her magic again helping to coordinate our younger daughter’s wedding near Cleveland while the bride lived in Houston. All of her vendors in the Cleveland area proved to be professional and artistic and so attentive the day of the wedding. Our experience with Melanie and Oak & Honey was so positive and personal, I highly recommend her and her team for any wedding, anywhere!

I could not be more thrilled with the experience I had planning my wedding with Melanie and her staff at Oak & Honey! Melanie was so easy to work with, and was there for me every step of the way. The day of my wedding went like clockwork! If anything was amiss, I had absolutely no clue as Melanie was able to take care of everything. She and her staff were so attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. If I could give Oak & Honey more stars, I definitely would! It was worth every penny to have a mice, enjoyable day with my husband and our family and friends!!

I have the unique perspective as the mother of both a bride and a groom that utilized the day-of coordination services of Oak & Honey Events. The weddings were approximately 1 year apart (July 2017 and July 2018). The first wedding involved a bridal party of 16, and 200+ guests. The second had no bridal party, and fewer than 100 guests.

Both weddings were flawlessly executed, thanks to the coordination efforts of Melanie Tindell and Oak & Honey Events. We so appreciated the responsiveness of the team during the planning stages, and the coordination of the final confirmations and scheduling of all vendors. The timelines provided for both weddings were very manageable and kept everyone on track the day of the wedding.

Melanie and her team have a great sense of design, style and attention to detail and placed all of the décor in a pleasing and sensible manner.

When you consider your wedding budget, and all the resources you will expend to plan the best day possible, the most critical investment, in my opinion, is insuring that your vision will be perfectly executed. Because of our trust in Melanie and Oak & Honey, the families were able to enjoy the wedding day in a relaxed manner, knowing that all of the details would be attended to, and that any problems that popped up would be solved by Melanie and her team.

At the very beginning of wedding planning, I was considering not even working with a planner to save money. I'm a librarian and a planner myself, so I thought I could probably handle it. I met with A Charming Fete and while I love a lot of their work, their vibe just didn't seem to fit with what I was looking for. Then I met Melanie and she was the best mix of laid back, honest, and extremely professional. Working with Melanie was the best decision that we made during the year of our planning. She's a true expert and you end up benefiting so much from the many relationships she has with vendors all over the region and from her extensive experience. I discovered during the wedding planning process that I am WAY more type A than I thought and Melanie stuck with me through all of the tiny details and changes. She helped me communicate my vision throughout and smoothed relationships with vendors. She went way above and beyond throughout the entire process and even provided some much-needed emotional support at times. I can't recommend Oak and Honey highly enough. My wedding was so much more beautiful than it would have been without Melanie and her team and, importantly, I was so much more present on my wedding day than I would have been had I not chosen to work with them. So much love to Melanie and this company.

We hired Oak and Honey events toward the end of our wedding planning process because we quickly realized that we would not be able to manage all of the details we originally planned on taking care of. We worked with Melanie and she was an absolute God-send! My father was originally a bit hesitant about paying someone to take care of day of details (I don't think he realized how many things there would be to manage), but less than halfway through the day he said it was hands down the best money we spent for that day. I honestly can't imagine how the night would have gone if Melanie and her team weren't there to help out. From guests arriving waaaaaay too early, to managing all of the curve balls thrown that day, to something as simple as constantly offering myself, my husband, and my parents whether we needed a drink, Oak and Honey made our day what it was. I encourage all brides to consider utilizing their services either as a full-on wedding planner, or to help manage those crazy last few months like we did. I promise you won't regret it!
