Melisa is truly the best wedding planner I could have asked for.

Where do I begin? Hiring Melisa as our wedding planner was the best decision we could have made. Melisa worked with us to plan our wedding for almost 1.5 years and she really brought our vision to life - she is the reason why so many of our guests are still talking about how our wedding was “the best and most beautiful they’ve been to”!

Melisa is extremely organized/detail-oriented, hard working and fantastic at problem solving. She thinks of and prepares for everything, has a very strong network of vendor partners, and deeply vets all vendors and services to ensure that every aspect of her events are executed to the highest quality possible. She never stopped working until she knew we were 100% happy with the full picture - her tenacity is so impressive!

Melisa is also a great listener, flexible, and honest. She is the perfect balance when it comes to wedding planning - leaning more heavily into areas where we needed guidance and creative inspiration, and focusing more on (exceptional) execution in areas where we had solid vision/ideas. And, she never let us make a bad decision! We really appreciated her transparency in telling us if an idea we had was not going to work, not worth the cost, etc.

In terms of day-of coordination, Melisa ran our wedding day flawlessly - she is an expert with logistics, and has a confident and calming aura that puts everyone at ease. Throwing a black tie wedding for 200+ people feels easy when Melisa is working her magic. Her events speak for themselves.

We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding turned out, and Melisa was just such a pleasure to work with overall. Anybody would be lucky to have Melisa as their wedding planner (or as a planner for any other event). She is the BEST! We’re genuinely going to miss working with her.

The best!!!

Melisa was indispensable during the planning of our wedding. She helped us navigate everything from save the dates to who/what to tip after everything was over. Any time I had a question, Melisa was quick to respond with a helpful answer that calmed my nerves. We're so grateful for her knowledge and skills!

Perfection

Melisa planned an exceptional day for our daughter’s Bat Mitzvah at the Loading Dock. We began working together about 12 months before the event and she helped us choose a venue, DJ, decor, favors, swag—she even helped zip up my gown! When Melisa broke her ankle a week before our event, I was worried. But she fully delivered—on wheels! In a scooter, she still managed to make sure every detail of our event went smoothly and on time. I expected there to be mistakes, but honestly, every element of the party was perfect. She coordinated the day-of timing beautifully and made sure I remembered to pack all the little items. Our family was truly able to be present at our party and enjoy our guests. Most importantly, our daughter felt loved and special because of a perfectly planned Mitzvah.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
