We got married in Sonoma in August 2025 and had the wedding of our dreams. Melaina truly made our day so special with her kindness, attention to detail, and calm demeanor. Planning with her over many months was fun and easy. Her eye for design is extraordinary! She was open and supportive of all our ideas, which made us feel so confident throughout the wedding planning process. The day was super windy, but she was able to pivot on the fly and make everything work without us even knowing of the hiccups. My husband and I were relaxed and present all thanks to her. She was extremely accessible to not just us, but also our wedding party, guests, and vendors.

At the end of the night, we felt so much gratitude for not only our guests who made it to our destination wine country wedding, but also to Melaina and the rest of the team who made it all happen. We could not recommend Melaina enough, our families adore her!

Yesenia was wonderful and so attentive from start to finish. I chose the Timeless package, which includes a detailed planning meeting three months before the wedding to go over dreams, concerns, timelines, and all the little details, and that is exactly what she delivered.

I DIYed most of our decor, and my mom had her own creative vision on top of mine. Yesenia and her team executed everything perfectly, combining both ideas seamlessly and bringing our day to life exactly as we imagined. Her calm, professional approach kept everything running smoothly, and I truly felt like I could just relax and enjoy the day.

Pricing was very reasonable, and every penny was absolutely worth it for the peace of mind and flawless execution. I highly recommend Showrunner Events and Yesenia’s team to any couple looking for a planner who is organized, kind, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

Melaina was so patient, kind, and communicative throughout the wedding planning process. I really felt like I could breathe easily knowing she was refining details with our vendors. My partner and I were quite a bit stressy throughout the planning process, and she remained balanced and action-oriented. I never felt like my asks were too much, which is an awesome feeling as a bride. My bridal party praised how easy and smooth her rehearsal ceremony was. Book Showrunner events!! You won’t regret it

Picking Melaina Bergin and her fantastic team at Showrunner Events for our wedding on June 27, 2025, at Viansa Winery Sonoma was hands down one of the best decisions we made. We signed on with her 11 months out, right after choosing her, and from that very first day, she became our absolute lifesaver.

Yesenia was simply a joy to work with. She brought so much peace and tranquility to what can be a very stressful process. Her professionalism and experience were evident in everything she did and all of our communications. Working with her allowed me to be present and enjoy the moments because I knew I could trust her to make my vision come to life. At the rehearsal she was so professional despite crazy wind and little kids running around not paying attention - I could be the fun bride because she was in charge!

Day of, she did so much for me, I knew I would arrive and everything as all set up - she handled things seamlessly - moving around decor, gathering people to walk in the processional, ensuring each detail went off as I described it. She even surprised me by thinking on her feet when there was lots of wind, making sure guests got to see the family stories pamphlet I worked so hard on by moving it to the bar, and moving our aisle marker in front of the cake cutting table for a beautiful photo op I hadn't thought of. All these things I had no knowledge or concern for because she had handled it and handled it to a standard that was impeccable. I got to enjoy myself and party!

She is simply amazing and I can't picture having worked with anyone else. Well, well worth the cost - I am a type A girlie who loves to plan but I knew this was too much work for me to pull off and enjoy myself and I am so glad I spent the money and got a professional to help month of coordinate. It allowed me to have fun and still have a beautiful perfect wedding that met all of my expectations! Thank you Yesenia! I am forever indebted to you and your incredible team for the most wonderful wedding of my dreams!

We honestly don't know where to begin. In short, we'd hire Melaina for every event we ever have and would just be grateful to be able to do so. So absolutely book her now, you won't regret it. She was our LITERAL savior in the months leading up to and during our wedding weekend (she was even attentive and detailed in communication and vendor management *after* the event).

We had a 3-day event with 60 guests, most of whom stayed onsite in a main house or in glamping tents. It could have been an epic disaster with the number of logistics that Melaina had to handle - from organizing mobile bathrooms and coordinating events / rental items across a 700 acre property to troubleshooting faulty power supply, inadequate heating solutions and a lack of information provided by the venue. She nonetheless somehow just *figured it out* - running around putting out fires and polishing the finest details for every part of our weekend. Despite the challenges, she made every part of our weekend feel intentional, planned for, and taken care of. We had 6+ full group meals, 10+ vendors, 10+ activities, and 0 cell service - and Melaina made it all come together anyway.

We had her onsite for a portion of each day, and we would literally breath a sigh of relief whenever we knew she'd arrived for the day. I cannot emphasize enough the level of trust we have in Melaina, how thankful we are that she felt like a friend to us and others from the start, and how in awe of her [seemingly effortless] ability to pull a million tiny to-do's together.

Her team was lovely, Melaina is incredible, and we are just so so thankful for her. Our wedding wouldn't have happened without her, and now we low key want to grab some wine, chat and be her friend

We can't thank Melaina enough for making our wedding day so incredibly special. During the week of our wedding, all our friends kept commenting on how relaxed and stress-free we seemed, and we truly believe it was all thanks to Melaina and her team!

Based on our initial conversations, we had complete trust in Melaina to help bring our dream wedding to life. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were phenomenal, and she always had fantastic suggestions that enhanced our vision. We’re sure there were countless behind the scenes tasks that Melaina had to handle - the fact that everything went so smoothly is a testament to her hard work and experience. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment on our wedding day.

By the end of the night, we found ourselves wishing we could relive the entire day, just to work with everyone again. Melaina and her team were fantastic, and the evening far exceeded our expectations.

Yesenia was fantastic to work with! She has a clear handle on so many vendors and venues in the Sonoma area. She helped us lay a clear plan early on, and supported us along the way with attaining vendor quotes, coordinating orders and event schematics, and making super helpful recommendations based on her extensive experience. Her week- and day-of assistance was absolutely incredible, and we had several vendors AND guests make specific comments about how well-executed the wedding was based on her amazing planning and facilitation. Thank you Yesenia and ShowRunner!!
