The best in the game!

Melanie rocked it!! She is so attentive and comes with a very impressive knowledge of the industry. She led us through the entire process and had an answer for every question, sometimes before we even asked! I can't recommend her and her team highly enough. Our day was perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more 🤍

Howse Wedding - Melanie Richardson

My husband and I can't express enough how amazing STC was. Melanie Richardson was truly exceptional, and it was such a pleasure working with her to plan our wedding. She made the entire planning process enjoyable and put us at ease every step of the way. Melanie executed everything flawlessly, most importantly, brought our dream wedding to life. We wish we could relive our special day over and over! Can’t recommend her enough!

Wow wow wow! Melanie absolutely made our day beautiful

Wow wow wow! Melanie absolutely made our day beautiful. My only regret is we did not hire her sooner in our planning process. She is very detail oriented, and has a knack for making the whole wedding planning process smoother and honestly less anxiety ridden. She is a gem, through and through

Our wedding would not have been what it was without the incredible help of Melanie and her team!

Our wedding would not have been what it was without the incredible help of Melanie and her team! We met Melanie a year before the wedding as she helped plan our engagement/ engagement party. I knew after the success and endless compliments at the engagement that I wouldn't want anyone else to help plan our day. I live outside of Texas and was very apprehensive about planning a wedding out of state. Melanie went above and beyond recommending vendors for me, visiting places I was unable to attend, and made me feel completely at ease with the process. I lost my mom when I was younger and was also nervous about planning this day without her advice and support, but Melanie was so quick to answer my endless questions and help me gain a better grasp on planning a wedding, as I was completely lost at the start. She is very well connected in the wedding industry offering amazing vendor recommendations- we were not disappointed with a single one! Melanie helped bring my vision to life and I cannot thank her enough for all of her hard work. If I could give her 10/5 stars, I would!! If you are looking for a planner, look no further! You found the one:)

Wonderful experience! SO happy I had Melanie as my Wedding Coordinator!

I was so happy to have Melanie from Something to Celebrate help me through the whole wedding planning process! I got married back in December and she was super helpful even before she was officially on the clock as our months before and day of wedding planner! She is a great communicator and is very organized and very knowledgeable about vendors. I appreciated that she gave me a timeline/checklist of what she's taking care of and what I needed to do all leading up to the big day.
On the day of the wedding I was stress-free because I knew the day was in good hands with Melanie!

Best Wedding Coordinator/Planner Every

I anticipated planning a wedding in 9 months, out of state to be a bit more stressful and challenging than it was. However, thanks to Melanie & her team we had the best day of our lives. Family and friends are still talking about how wonderful and beautiful the wedding was. Melanie helped with everything from reception design, transportation and full day planning for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding day. She was kind and calm and incredibly knowledgable/professional and I felt very grateful. Could not recommend more!!

Melanie is amazing. Groom recommends 10/10

As a groom, I have some perspectives on the wedding industry. In all of it though Melanie is worth every dime and more. She is incredible and made the process for myself and my wife easy, less stressful, and ultimately more fun. I can not recommend Melanie enough to any future couple, she is the best. Multiple vendors directly told us she is the best wedding coordinator/planner they have ever worked with.
Grooms out there - she will make your lives so much better. Brides out there - her attention to detail is truly something to marvel at.

All in all if i was to go back and get married again, I would first call Melanie and make sure she is available that week before booking the venue.

Thank you for everything Melanie.

Extremely helpful leading up to and on the wedding day

We had Michelle who was an utter delight! She was actually the one who showed me around Ma Maison and kind of convinced us to choose the venue so it was so special to have her as our month-of coordinator. She was helpful and always willing to reply to a quick one-off text I had. On the big day I didn't have to worry about a thing with Michelle handling all the details. If there was an issue I didn't hear about it which was exactly the stress-free day I wanted. A big thank you Michelle!!

Wonderful Experience

Melanie is the best!!! She did an incredible job on my daughter's wedding. She gave us names of great vendors and answered any questions we had. Everything was perfect!! She was so organized and had every detail covered. She was even in contact with the entire wedding party, keeping them apprised of the schedule throughout the weekend. I can't recommend Melanie and Something to Celebrate enough!! Thank you for making my daughter's wedding everything she wanted and more!!

Maria absolutely CRUSHED it

Hiring Maria was a complete game changer! She made the entire process from start to finish such a breeze for us. I love how she would give me a few vendors to pick from based on my own personal style/price range rather than being overwhelmed with the countless options near the Austin area. She was in constant communication with us and even went out of her way to travel to our event space to make last minute decisions. I love how dedicated she was to making our vision come to life! I was never stressed once during the planning process because I knew she had everything under control. Even on my wedding day I knew she was on top of every single detail! I really could not recommend a better wedding planner and company. My wedding weekend was the absolute best weekend of my entire life and I know I have Maria to thank for so much of that.

Not only is Maria professional and organized but she is very kind. I loved how intent she was on getting to know us as a couple so she could make our wedding day as personal as possible Ugh! I’m going to miss being in constant communication with her now that it’s over!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
