Amazing Wedding Planner
My wedding planning experience was better than I could’ve imagined because my husband and I decided to hire Melissa as our wedding planner. She made a great first impression on our initial inquiry phone call especially considering we had no previous mutual connections. She has extensive experience, is super professional, very responsive, and has great working relationships with wedding vendors in the industry. She is great to work with and I felt, always had our best interest in mind. My husband and I were truly able to be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend without any of the added stress that generally comes with the organization of the day. As a type A personality bride Melissa truly exceeded my expectations. I felt my thoughts, ideas, and concerns were always heard and addressed. Melissa and her team take much pride in their work which shows in how they conduct themselves and their performance. For the best wedding planning with an unimaginable wedding day experience book B Astonished Events, you won’t regret the decision. -

I am extremely happy with the help, support, and guidance that B.Astonished Events provided for my baby shower. From the beginning stages of the planning process, Melissa help me to personalize the theme of the Dr. Seuss book, ‘Oh, the Places You’ll Go’ and design a baby shower that was both unique and classy. She understood my desire to have a casual chic event and reached out to vendors on my behalf that could bring my vision to life. All of the vendors were professional, timely, and clearly understood the overall theme of the event, thanks in large part to the mood board, event schedule, and great communication provided by B.Astonished. This is the second event they have planned on my behalf (my epic wedding was also planned by them) and I would gladly use their services again for future events. -

Our planner was Alyssa, of the BAstonished crew, she was BEYOND amazing! From the beginning she jumped right in to ensure our special day was everything we wanted and more. I can not express in words how wonderful our overall experience was with BAstonished & how blown away my husband and I, as well as our wedding guests were when we saw the finished design of our venue. On our day, everything ran smoothly & ON TIME! I would recommend BAstonished to anyone who is looking for a true one-of-a-kind moment filled with amazing attention to detail, luxury and lots of love. -

Working with Melissa and her team was an absolute fairytale. When my Husband and I booked her, we knew we wanted a destination wedding, off resort for the unique private feel of our day, but covid kept limiting our choices because many countries were still on lockdown. Since some of my husbands family is from Trinidad and Tobago, we originally wanted the wedding in Tobago, but they were not open to any non-citizen travelers, then we wanted Turks and Caicos and we were told we could only have 20-30 people total. I randomly saw a gorgeous venue in Jamaica called Pattoo Castle, consulted with her and boom we had our venue! Through all of the changes with the CDC, variants, changes in the amount of people we could have and curfews that Jamaica implemented. Melissa was patient, understanding, and kept us both re-assured everything would be okay.
She flew with us and our photographer to design the most gorgeous and unique engagement session at the Secret Garden in Miami. In one of the looks, we were in a canoe with flowers in front of a waterfall! It was so gorgeous. Blair did our engagement video for the engagement shoot and it truly set the tone for how gorgeous our day was. During our site visit to Jamaica, Melissa made sure our on site coordinator was on the same page and advocated for our wants.
On the day of our wedding, the Bastonished team was by my side and my husbands every step of the way. Alyssa and Blair were everything! I am pretty particular and I am the planner of my family and friends travels and events so it is saying a lot that I was able to put my trust in Melissa’s vision completely. Her vision board for us really came to life. We had a whole wedding weekend and my guests said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.
If you are planning a Lux wedding and are very particular about details, quality, and want a whole team of support, please do yourself a favor and book the Bastonished team. Melissa, Blair, Alyssa, D’Angela and everyone else who made our planning during covid effortless, thank you so so much! We wish we could do it again. -

Melissa and her team did an outstanding job through and through. I found Melissa’s “Just The Two of Us” package on Instagram when they first launched. The”Just The Two of Us” package was so much more than I could have ask for. From the planning phase to the day of execution, Melissa provided constant support and communication throughout the wedding planning process. We had such a great experience. Melissa was very responsive whenever I had questions. The vendor team that was recommended by Melissa was outstanding and executed flawlessly on our wedding vision!!!!!
Thank you Melissa for planning and coordinating our wedding. We really appreciate your ability to take our wedding vision and turn it into a stunning reality!!!!!! You provided everything we could wish for in a wedding planner and so much more!!!!!!!!! -

From the moment my husband proposed, I knew I wanted B Astonished Events to be a part of my wedding planning experience! Melissa is so knowledgeable about all things wedding planning. She helped us figure out every detail and ensured that our wedding was the wedding of our dreams. She’s so responsive and personable! Also, the B Astonished team is amazing.

It took us a while to get this review posted because we wanted it to be PERFECT! Because that’s how we feel about Melissa and the B Astonished team. They are perfection! From the day planning started to the end of wedding day Melissa and her team were patient, professional, prompt. and understanding. During the planning process, often times when it came to décor, we could not pull the trigger on making a decision (I’m indecisive!) but Melissa knew exactly how to 1. Create a vision for us and 2. Help us execute and bring the vision to life - all while accommodating our budget.
When covid hit, we panicked. We could not decide whether to move forward with the wedding or to postpone. Melissa provided us with all the pros and cons of both scenarios so that we could make the best decision for us. Ultimately, we decided to postpone. Although our wedding was postponed, Melissa did not miss a beat when it came to managing all the vendor changes regarding the new date and details. With her handling all our details we felt so confident that our wedding day would run flawlessly. Every single one of her recommended vendors provided the same level of top-notch dedication and professionalism towards preparing for our big day. Fast forward to wedding day, things seemed to flow perfectly! Not that there weren’t hiccups (because what wedding doesn’t have them!?) but when there were, we never knew or heard about it until after the fact because Melissa and her team had already taken care of it. Also thank you to Jenny on the B Astonished Events Team. She was by my side the entire day and made sure I had anything I needed or asked for. From carrying my shoes to brining me champagne to calm my nerves - I couldn’t have made it through the day without you!
To Melissa, Blair, Jenny, and the entire B Astonished Events team - THANK YOU! Our wedding felt like a dream! We have already decided if we ever have another big event, we will be calling you!
To anyone reading and searching for an event planner – if you want your event to be stunning, you have to choose B Astonished Events! -

Alyssa made our wedding planning experience one for the books. We had to make several changes throughout the process due to covid, but she stayed optimistic throughout the entire process. She was responsive, personable, insightful and just a overall joy to work with. I highly recommend Alyssa for any of your wedding planning needs! -

Working with BAstonished Events was an incredible experience! I could not have asked for a better team! They helped me in every aspect of my event from top to bottom. They also made great suggestions for other vendors to make sure my wedding went off without a hitch! The day was perfect, and I can wholeheartedly attest that to working with BAstonished Events and our lead planner Melissa. I would highly recommend them for any event that you need to plan especially weddings. Melissa was extremely organized, professional, and responsive. If I ever had a question she was usually two steps ahead and it was already answered. Her design esthetic was also right up my alley. Her style is so classy and fabulous. I really allowed her to plan it as she saw fit because I knew the color scheme I wanted, but I couldn’t see the vision beyond that. Melissa hand crafted a mood (vision) board that was like a work of art that really brought the vision to life! I think allowing her to really work her magic made the experience even better. Melissa was also able to suggest things that I wouldn’t have even thought of because she has been in this industry for so long. My wedding day was beyond perfect and the planning beforehand made it even more perfect because everything was so organized and effortless. I inquired about working with BAstonished Events in November and they pulled an amazing micro-wedding together by May, and all while maneuvering a global pandemic. I had no doubt in my mind that it was going to be a great event because of how well the preparation and planning went throughout those 6 months. It was also wonderful to have Blair and Bishop as our videographer and groom concierge team because they were so professional and helpful throughout the wedding day. They helped give good guidance during the wedding to help the groom and groomsmen. They offered great ideas for video scenes and getting ready moments. They helped foster great fellowship before the wedding and it was very creative. We will 100% be repeat clients because Melissa and her Team made this process so easy and stress free. She is worth every dollar and then some! What dollar amount can you really place on your peace and happiness, and to know that your event will be run so well? BAstonished Events was great so make sure you book them, you won’t be disappointed. -

I found Melissa's 'Just the Two of Us' package on Instagram and was so excited but nervous that it was be too good to be true. I'm so glad I was wrong! Melissa seamlessly pulled together a venue and top notch vendors during COVID when everything was shut down. She never complained or told us no when we had new ideas or questions. Our wedding went off without a hitch and I'm forever grateful to Melissa and team for making my wedding dreams come true! -

Nothing but the best!!!
My husband and I had been planning for a wedding of 150+ guests before COVID-19 hit and we were unsure about our plans when we saw just how bad the pandemic actually was. I was going back and forth about pushing the wedding out or having a courthouse wedding as some had suggested. One day I saw a post by B Astonished Events sharing their new "Just The Two Of Us" service which was perfect for the restrictions that had been put in place. The team brought all of my ideas together and made my vision come to life!! Our wedding consisted of 12 guests but looking back I wouldn't have it any other way. Our "Exclusive Affair" on 10/10/20 was amazing! I can't thank Melissa and her team enough for putting together such a beautiful wedding day. Despite everything that has been going on with the pandemic they made the entire experience fun and most of all stress-free! I will continue to recommend B Astonished Events to anyone I know because of the quality we received. The team works well together and the entire process down to the wedding day went smoothly! I can't wait to work with them again! -

Not only was B Astonished professional, but they also recommended the most outstanding vendors in the industry.

Working with Melissa during this pandemic has been truly amazing. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to have my wedding due to the virus and I happened to stumble across B Astonished Events and the micro wedding package. I was truly amazed and was so happy to have the dreams of our wedding day come to life. Melissa worked with us, listened to our thoughts, she gave ideas and literally everything turned out to be a true fairytale. Hands down one of the BEST planners ever. -

Best Day Ever
The "Just The Two of Us" package was so much more than I could have asked for. Melissa and her team did an outstanding job through and through. While this package is a "Micro-Wedding" there was nothing micro about it. From the planning phase to day of execution, Melissa provided constant support and and communication throughout the process and made our experience truly a dream come true. I'm the first of my friends to get married and will definitely be recommending Melissa and her team of Vendors to them all. I will never forget our special day, thank you Melissa and B Astonished Events! -

Valerie Sent on 10/21/2019Incredible Experience!
I can’t even put in to words how incredible Melissa and her team were for the planning and execution of our wedding day! As a busy teacher I knew planning a wedding would be stressful and overwhelming for me. Let me tell you...all of the stress, pressure, and overwhelming feelings were completely eliminated during the planning process for me, thanks to the B Astonished team! When I had my initial planning meeting with Melissa she was very professional, joyful and open to all of my ideas. From day one she always made herself available to me. Whether I had a question about vendors or color schemes, she got back to me immediately with valuable feedback. As our process continued, this amazing team handled communication between vendors, arranged meetings for us and kept us super organized. In the final days leading up to our wedding day she provided each of our vendors with an extremely detailed timeline for the day. If any issues were presented from our vendors Melissa protected us like family and made sure that we were getting everything that we wanted. That meant SO much to us! It didn’t matter if it was 5am or 5pm, Melissa would answer my phone calls and made sure everything was okay. The day of our wedding was absolutely seamless! People always say that things go wrong at weddings...if something did go wrong, we still don’t know about it! Melissa and her team were by my side from the time I started getting my hair and makeup done. She helped the photographers/videographers with anything they needed, she communicated with our transportation company and my girls and I were ready ahead of schedule! Melissa even transported my dress in her own vehicle so that it wouldn’t get ruined in the limo. She made sure I had everything I needed leading up to the ceremony, made sure our vendors were squared away and took care of our entire bridal party. We were able to take in every moment, actually sit down and enjoy our dinner and have the time of our lives. When one of the buttons on my bustle came off on the dance floor Melissa was right there immediately to help pin it up, so that I didn’t miss a beat. I can’t say enough about her punctuality, attention to detail, eye for design and decor, and lovely personality! B Astonished goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for their clients and we highly recommend them! We are just so thankful for them! They created and delivered the wedding of our dreams!
