Best Day of My Life
5 stars is not enough. I would literally trust this woman with my life. Her attentiveness and work ethic is the likes of which I have never encountered before. The design, details, vision… Everything about our wedding felt like a dream. Yvonne (and her staff) were on point both during the wedding day and during all days prior. They had an answer for everything. Don’t know how to tie a bow tie? She handled it. Ran out of bourbon within the FIRST HOUR of your reception? She already had people making a run. Procession organization? With Yvonne, it's all simple, clear and easy. My wife and I didn’t worry about a single thing on our wedding day besides each other. Beyond this, Yvonne is fun to work with! We spent a lot of our time laughing together, she makes planning a wedding an enjoyable process. Before we hired her, all I felt was stress. After? Only excitement. I could not recommend working with someone more, if you want a wedding planner/coordinator, she is the only option as far as I am concerned. Make life easier for yourself and hire Unique Melody Events. Worth every penny and then some.

Soooo happy I found Unique Melody!
The best -- could not have imagined our wedding without Unique Melody! Yvonne, the owner, was response and professional and within budget. Our assigned planner, Steph, was my "weekend of" coordinator for our wedding in West Dover, VT in August 2025. She is the best! She kept us running on time, managed every little detail, remembered things we didn't, and even danced a line dance with us! Our day was beautiful and relatively stress free. (I'd been married once before years ago with no planner and several things went awry back then - so I know the difference a good planner makes.) Our day was truly amazing! Our venue even told us she's the best planner they'd seen. Steph is the best, and has a lovely personality and sense of humor to boot. Steph's assistant Katrina was awesome, and even helped dress our dog, who was part of the wedding. You can't go wrong with Unique Melody! We are so grateful for them!

A Dream Team for Our Wedding Day
Yvonne and her assistant, Catherine, were an essential part of our wedding planning/day. When vendors weren’t responding to us, Yvonne was on the case and resolved issues quickly and efficiently. When there were hiccups with a vendor on the day of, Yvonne acted urgently without adding any additional stress to the day. We highly recommend the services of Unique Melody!

If you need anything month-of planner, choose Unique Melody
Everyone has asked after our wedding if getting a planner so close to the wedding was worth it. The answer is absolutely yes.
Tami took over all duties and was able to do many tasks that needed doing, including fielding many questions and concerns, that she simplified many things before the wedding. (Which considering how work ramped up for the bride and groom before the wedding - that was great!). She also learned the particulars of a Jewish style wedding and handle the vendors with ease.
The day of, she and her assistant were on it. They flexibly dealt with the weather, hiccups, and the bride and groom running on autopilot.
If you need someone to take the stress out of the last month or two before the wedding and the day of, we highly.recommend Unique Melody.

The best decision you can make for your weddding!
Working with Unique Melody Events was the best decision that my husband and I made for our wedding. It’s difficult to know where to start in expressing my awe of and gratitude for their work; maybe the highest praise I can give is that I don’t actually know how they could have possibly created the most beautiful wedding in the world. Yvonne was meticulous yet relaxed; detail-oriented while always remembering the larger vision and budget. Yvonne and her team were focused on not only planning a seamlessly wonderful wedding, but planning a wedding that told the unique story of our personalities, families, and love. Not only did Yvonne and her team execute an incredible event, they ensured that every minute of it was a stress-free and truly memorable experience for both my husband and I, our families, and our guests. Many of our guests have told us that our wedding was a unique and perfect reflection of my husband and to us, that is the best compliment we could receive—and we owe all of it to Unique Melody Events.

Yvonne is the best!!!!
Yvonne and her team are the best out there! We had Yvonne as our month of planner for our October 2023 wedding and it made our wedding day seamless. She attended planning meetings with us and knew all the right questions to ask. She also helped me figure out our centerpieces which took a huge amount of stress off of me as the bride. When we entered the venue our vision had come to life. With very little direction, she knows exactly how to make your day, YOUR day. Highly recommend 10/10.

Highly recommend!
We cannot recommend Unique Melody enough!! I really wanted to enjoy our day and was also a little nervous about passing off all my months of planning, but the second I met Steph I knew we were in good hands (Yvonne ran our rehearsal and Steph ran our event). Not only was having a coordinator on the day absolutely invaluable, but it was tremendously nice in the weeks before our wedding to know we had minimal work left to do because UME was on everything. We think spending money on a day-of coordinator was the best money we spent on our wedding because it allowed us to focus fully on all the other things we spent money on: we ate all the food, danced to all the music, and really got to live in the moment. Months away from our wedding, we are still basking in the glow, in large part because of all the hard work UME did on our behalf.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
