William S. Sent on 11/05/2023The Wedding Planner GOAT!
My Husband and I were married on October 22nd 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, MD. We found Melissa and her team online with outstanding reviews.
Y'all I cannot stress this enough at how PERFECT Melissa and her team made our Wedding day. All the emails, phone/zoom calls, and texts to help put our special day together. The times she had to talk this groom who struggles with mad anxiety through a few panic attacks. Melissa is an absolute QUEEN and we 150% stan.
All their hard work and detailed organization/coordination with the venue and other vendors went off without a single hitch. Especially the moment she showed us the reception space for the first time and it literally felt like that epic reveal moment from Extreme Home Makeover where everyone shouts "Bus Driver, Move That Bus!"... Absolutely spectacular!!
They did all that while putting together and working another wedding at the same venue the day before. My husband and I are simply in awe of how everything turned out.
Thank you all again so much for all of your hard work. You made our wedding day simply the best day ever. -

From our initial conversation, I knew that Melissa would be the one to make my dream wedding come true with under 4 months to plan. Since I was a little girl, I have always fantasized that my wedding would take place in the backyard of our historic family home in Rehoboth. Melissa listened to my vision and made my dreams a reality! During the planning stages, she made awesome local vendor recommendations that I wouldn't have been able to find myself and was my trusted advisor when making decisions regarding where to allocate our budget. With any question I had, she was prepared with a logical, thoughtful and proactive answer that was ALWAYS aligned with the vision I shared with her from the start. She really just "got it." By the end, I felt as though she knew the ins-and-outs of my wedding, our property, and what would really make the day special better than I could have ever imagined! That aside, I can honestly say that her presence and coordination on our wedding day was INVALUABLE. I literally cannot think of how we could've done it without her there. In the midst of what felt like completely chaos, she remained calm, patient, and professional. Her steadfast nature helped wrangle all of the vendors, florists, guests, family members ... and she even convinced the rain clouds to stay away for our incredible beachside ceremony! :) The memories that we made that day will truly last us a lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making it happen!

The best planner in DE/MD!
Our wedding could not have been what it was without Melissa! Since we live in New York and were getting married in Rehoboth, we knew we needed someone we could trust and who was knowledgeable of all the local vendors. Melissa instantly understood our personality, our style, and knew what was best for us every step of the way. Her attention to detail in planning and the day day of the wedding was recognized and praised by all of our guests. We absolutely loved working with her and recommend her to anyone planning their big day!!! -

My husband Seth and I were married on May 20th 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa and Marina. My mom and I knew we wanted to be very hands on with the planning so our goal for hiring a planner was to make sure we did not forget anything and to cover all of the day-of duties. This venue had a list of recommended vendors and Belle of the Ball was one of them along with some other planners but Belle of the Ball was one of the more affordable options and had good reviews so that is how we initially chose Melissa. We had already booked a few vendors before hiring Melissa but she recommended and booked a beautiful local florist and chair rentals. We sent her all the contracts and she was in contact with all the vendors and made sure that everything was prepared and accounted for leading up to the wedding. She met with us at the Hyatt for the tasting and was amazing with her knowledge of the venue. She was always able to answer any of my questions via email or text even if it might take her a day or two to get back to me (she also just had a baby during this time and was still able to be very present in helping plan). She supported us when our videographer was unresponsive and we had to hire a new one and when our cold sparklers cancelled on us, she wanted to help us find new ones. She made a detailed timeline by the hour that flowed perfectly. She also made a pretty vision board that included colors and inspiration photos. Melissa’s day-of assistants Gabby and Jeri were also just as amazing and helped me have a perfectly stress-free day by keeping all of us on track and making sure the ceremony and reception space were beautiful. They stayed until the very end of the night and made sure we had our private last dance. I will recommend Belle of the Ball time and time again!! Thank you so so much Melissa, Gabby and Jerri! It was the best day of my life and it would not have been so great without you! -

We Had a Ball
We had a great working relationship with Melissa at Belle of the Ball. She was very helpful in finding vendors and had great ideas for our daughter's wedding. Her help with keeping us on track in the planning phase was invaluable. To be able to call her at anytime about anything was something we really liked.
We had a few events over the wedding weekend and her presence was so comforting, allowing us to just enjoy the Welcome Party and the Wedding Day festivities. -

Tommy Sent on 09/08/2021You need Mel!
There are truly not enough words in the dictionary to reiterate how thankful we are to have had Mel as our wedding planner, question answerer, nerve calmer, and all-around superwoman. Mel will treat you like family and truly go above and beyond to make your day the most special day of your life. Mel was there for us through texts, emails, phone calls, FaceTimes, zoom meetings, site meetings, you name it. With every question and concern, we raised because “we have never done this before” she responded with calm patience + excitement that was truly contagious. We knew we were in great hands through the entire planning process, even with all of the uncertainties of the past 18 months. When our wedding weekend came, Mel truly moved mountains to make our vision come to life. She wrangled our rowdy bridal party, she answered every vendor question through a torrential downpour before the ceremony, she moved furniture, she calmed nerves. There is no question in our mind, our day would not have been what it was without her in the lead. We owe you the world, Mel! -

When I started my wedding planning process, I honestly didn’t think think I would need help. Boy was I wrong! We had Melissa for 30 days prior to the wedding and day of coordination and she was absolutely amazing! She basically took over everything so we could be stress free the last 30 days, and that was much needed after planning a wedding through a pandemic.
We were able to actually enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about a thing! She made sure everyone was in their place and had us running on time the whole night. It was the most perfect night and I can’t thank her enough for everything she did! She is a great addition to your wedding team and you won’t be disappointed! -

What a day! I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator from start to finish. Everything was executed smoothly and efficiently on the day of my wedding thanks to Melissa. -

Well Melissa is it!!! She truly was a pleasure to work with! We planned my wedding during a pandemic and not many brides can say they were stress free on their wedding day but I was !!! She jumped right in and made the timeline happen and coordinated with the vendors seamlessly. To my knowledge there were no hiccups and isn’t that what counts?! She was able to run around a huge venue, organizing the ball room, make sure we were on time, tell people what they needed to do in an efficient and professional manor and she truly knew what she was doing! -
