About

Melanie is the owner of Stronger Events Planning and Design. Her love for weddings and events started when she was a little girl. Now, as an adult with her own daughter, she works full-time planning amazing weddings for her clients. Melanie is bubbly, logical, and detail-oriented. In her free time, she enjoys hiking with her family in the Red River Gorge and playing with her adorable Border Collie mix, LeRoy Jenkins. When she's not doing those things, she can be found buried in a Colleen Hoover book at Starbucks.

Melanie believes in not recreating the wheel when it comes to weddings, instead, she believes that couples can have a fun and exciting time planning their wedding with the help of online documents, files, and videos. She is an advocate of the quote "Work smarter, not harder." When booking with Melanie, you will feel her joy and passion for weddings and events. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, book a call and hear Melanie out! I promise that by the end of the conversation, you will likely reconsider.

Melanie offers online planning services for destination weddings and is looking to expand her horizons by traveling out of state to make her clients' days as unforgettable as they deserve on their wedding day!

Melanie Strong
Lead Planner and Designer

I started this business because I have a love for planning and decorating and who doesn't want a job celebrating a couple's love story?! Any time there is a special occasion coming up I am always the one in the family hosting parties and planning big events including my wedding a year ago! Being an Event planner and Decorator has always been my dream and it is something I want to show my daughter as a woman of color we can do anything we put our minds to and show her how to spread love every chance we get! Keeping love and positivity in the universe is my main goal in life!
