Lori was absolutely instrumental in making our wedding day a beautiful and stress-free celebration! Her attention to detail allowed us to enjoy the day without worrying about all the moving parts. She worked tirelessly to communicate with all our vendors ensuring that the day ran smoothly and according to plan. We truly are so grateful for all her work and would recommend CCC to anyone getting married! -

Chantilly Chic is a dream team!
From our first phone conversation with Melanie, we knew that Chantilly Chic was the wedding coordinator for us. She went over our options and we decided to go with the Event Management services given we had already started reaching out to several vendors on our own. Chantilly's Event Management appealed to us given we both would be busy with work in the months leading up to the wedding. We got matched up with Lori at Chantilly Chic, and she was wonderful! Every one of our vendors told us she was one of the most thorough and detailed coordinators they had worked with. Lori did a great job of putting together the finer details, and handling a lot of the minutia that we never would have thought of if we tried to forgo a coordinator. On the day of our wedding, Lori and her assistant worked seamlessly with the venue staff and our vendors to ensure that we could enjoy our day and not have to deal with any mishaps or headaches. Everything was handled smoothly. We would highly recommend Chantilly Chic to any couples that need wedding planning services. -

Christina Sent on 02/04/2024Best decision ever!
Hiring Chantilly Chic Celebrations was my best wedding planning decision. Before I booked, I had a thorough phone meeting with Melanie. I had spoken to several other planners by that point and she stood out immediately. She was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the value in the services CCC offered. We booked coordination services and Lori was our lead planner. Lori has an amazing eye for detail, and really helped us stay on track to achieve the vision we wanted for our wedding day. Lori is also an excellent communicator who is proactive, level-headed, and resourceful…exactly what you would want in a wedding planner! She is also really nice and easy to work with, which goes a long way when you feel frazzled from wedding planning. The rehearsal and wedding day went perfectly. I had several members of my wedding party comment how organized and great Lori was. Her assistants were equally nice and prepared. We received a detailed timeline and knew just what to expect on the day of the wedding. Lori also made sure each of our vendors knew the plan and timeline for the day and confirmed all details, big and small, so there were no surprises or hiccups. On our wedding day, we had total confidence in Lori and her team. Thanks to the plan she organized and executed, we were able to just be present and enjoy the beauty of the long-awaited day. I am so happy with my experience working with CCC and Lori, and will sing their praises in the years to come to any friends and family planning a wedding! Book them - you will not regret it! -

Where to even begin!!! Melanie and the entire team at Chantilly Chic truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical!! Working with Melanie was amazing from the very start. She knows her stuff, and was so instrumental in guiding us through the unknowns of the wedding planning process. Her vendor connections and relationships were so helpful and she made the everything so much easier for us. We felt so comfortable with her steering our ship, and knew we would be taken care of!! She was amazing at making sure every single little detail was accounted for, and ensured that everything went so smoothly on wedding day. We truly felt so wonderful and lucky to have her with us throughout this journey!! -

EXCEPTIONAL!!! When my husband and I got engaged, the first thing I did was set out to find a wedding planner. Trust me, I did all the due diligence – I talked to many planners in the area, talked to my friends, wondered if it’s necessary – and I have to tell you, getting a wedding planner is a MUST and Chantilly Chic Celebrations are hands down THE BEST! I am forever grateful I found Melanie! She is an incredible person and a true expert in her field, she is so organized, professional and well-connected and made the wedding planning process incredibly easy. She knew the best vendors and had the best recommendations, and the wedding day was a BREEZE thanks to her and her team. We truly had the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t have done it without her. THANK YOU MELANIE AND TEAM!!! -

I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with both Catie & Melanie. They both went above and beyond when it came to making sure that everything was as we envisioned our wedding to be. I was initially hesitant on hiring a wedding planner, since our venue provided a wedding coordinator, but I can't imagine not having Catie and Melanie's help. They were so precise and made sure everything was perfect! My sister was our "point of contact" the day of, and she continues to compliment how much they were on top of everything. I honestly don't know what I would do without their help- they are a must! :) -

Brigid Sent on 12/09/2022Hire them NOW for your big day!!
If you are looking for a wedding coordinator whether it be day of or full planning please stop looking and hire Chantilly Chic now!! They are hands down one of the best in the business and I cannot say enough nice things about them. We hired Melanie for our Day of Coordination and she was beyond WONDERFUL!! She took the reigns from us about 8 weeks out and we did not have to worry about a single thing. She was able to corral all of our vendors and help our vision come to life! She is thorough, her attention to detail is beyond words, and above everything else you can tell she genuinely cares about you and the outcome of your big day. Without her I don't think our day would have gone as smoothly as it did!! We left not only feeling on top of the world but like we gained a new friend in the process :) From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank Melanie and her team enough for all that they did for us to make our dream day as special as it was! -

We could not have asked for better with Lori. Meg, and Crystal. From start to finish the experience was top notch. Every detail of our day was planned for and executed without flaw. Lori did SO much in the two months she worked with us. We could not imagine our day without her and her team. My wedding week was stress-free and that is 100% thanks to these ladies!! -

After we booked our venue the next thing we did was book a wedding planner and Chantilly Chic Celebrations was perfect! Working the night shift in the ER and having a time-involved job, Melanie with Chantilly Chic Celebrations helped me so much! They helped with time management, planning my design, scheduling, and vendors! She helped my dream design and many photos from Pinterest come to life! She helped a lot with flowers and scheduling throughout the day. Basically, it wouldn't have been the perfect day without her. My mom and I looked forward to our monthly meetings to review wedding information. Melanie is professional, organized, attends to detail, and has a lot of fun. Everyone at Chantilly Chic Celebrations LOVES their job and makes planning a wedding fun! She focuses on what's important for the bride & groom and gets to know them in order to help plan their perfect day. My wedding was almost a year ago and it was perfect! If you are thinking about booking Chantilly Chic Celebrations do it now!!!!! -

Shannon Sent on 08/02/2022Thank you melanie!
We got married at Opal Sands and were referred to Melanie from the venue. We hired Melanie for a day of planner and design / decor help aka partial planning - and it was our best decision. My husband and I have very time consuming careers and really needed some assistance making our dream wedding come to light. I am overly detail orientated and clicked with Melanie. Melanie met with my mom and I monthly and went over items and helped bring my vision to design ! The day of was chaotic and Melanie definitely navigated it with determination and grace while they had to completely change ceremony and cocktail hour location in 20 mins due to bad weather. We cannot thank Melanie enough for all her vendor recommendations and help creating our dream wedding! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!! -

I chose the event management package, and Kaleigh was my lead planner. She was AMAZING! So organized, on top of it, and quickly felt like a good friend! She was soo helpful in coordinating all of my vendors for all things day-of, and when it came time to "let go" and stop worrying about my own wedding, I was SO happy I had her to take care of the last minute details and coordination! Melanie and her team are trustworthy and total experts at all things wedding planning!!! :) -

Melanie from Chantilly Chic and her assistants by Kaleigh, Elaina and Ally were absolutely AMAZING. I know many may think you can do it yourself or have a friend help but let me advise you don't do it. Budget a planner in anyway you can because the peace of mind that Melanie and her staff will give you will be worth every penny of hiring her. The attention to details, attention to timelines, her organization skills were way above what I expected. They made sure that EVERYTHING ran smoothly and it DID. This was our second wedding in 9 months (2 daughters) and even though she did not due our previous wedding (which I HIGHLY regret not hiring her for that) she made sure that everything with this wedding went up and beyond our expectations. Her eye to details, layout and style is outstanding. You can't go wrong with hiring Melanie from Chantilly Chic. You will be amazed at her professionalism and the best part of it all is she is a hoot to have around. Funny and not stuffy... You will love her... -

Maiken Sent on 11/05/2020BEST EVER - Book with confidence!
As an event planner myself it was really important to me to have a day of coordinator that really got with my vision was in Melanie and her team at chantilly chic celebrations did exactly that. They were incredible to work with and very accommodating when we had to postpone and then reduce the size of our wedding due to Covid they gave us all the confidence in the world going into our big day and I highly recommend them. -

Austin Sent on 03/19/2020Seamless Experience!
We loved working with Chantilly Chic through our wedding. Sydney was so helpful during the stressful times. I can't begin to tell you how many questions she asked for items we had not even thought about. They also had a bunch of recommendations for other vendors to work with while we were planning from afar.
On the actual wedding day, Sydney made the process run seamlessly. I assume she fixed things that didn't go as planned, but she was so stealthy and on top of it, I never heard about any issues.
Chantilly Chic is the dream team you need for your wedding! -

Caitlyn Sent on 02/17/2020Professional, Experienced, Sweet, and Authentic
If you’re planning a wedding with multiple vendors, you should hire CCC. If you’re planning a wedding with a lot of DIY, you should hire CCC. Chantilly Chic is so special in how they operate that I honestly believe they provide HUGE value for a wedding. I had them for event management and Sydney was my main planner. From the initial consult with Melanie, I knew I could trust them whole heartedly to handle multiple vendors and differing family personalities. Melanie was professional and easy to talk to and understood my vision. I could feel her enthusiasm for my special day through the phone.
When I started with Sydney at the two-month mark, it could not have come at a better time. I’m very type A and had all the lists and color coding, but by the time I got down to the final months I was tired. Sydney shares that type A personality and it was easy and comfortable to hand off those final emails and be able to relax knowing she had everything under control. Also, being in the industry, Sydney knows of items that even my type A personality didn’t have. She provided a timeline for everyone at the rehearsal and I cannot reiterate enough how monumental her, and the rest of the team’s support was on the day of the wedding. My venue had a “venue coordinator” but let me just tell you, they ARE NOT the same thing. The venue coordinator is there for the venue, Sydney was there for me. She kept me calm amidst the long day and we were able to build in those necessary moments to enjoy and slow down with my now husband.
Thank you, Sydney, Melanie, and Lori, for all you did for Antonio and I -

Delaney Sent on 02/15/2020January 11, 2020 - Melanie Barker
My wife and I got married on January 11, 2020 and it was exactly as magical as people tell you it is. Melanie Barker at CCC had our backs from the beginning. Even though our contract started in November, when we signed in July she was there to help with any questions that we had for details and overall design. She also had PLENTY of vendor recommendations in her back pocket when we were in a rut. When it came to vendor relations, she was super easy to work with and was always very prepared, organized, and asked all the right questions. We were highly impressed with how much time she spent making sure she knew exactly what we wanted and how we envisioned our day, from the first minute of the day to clean up at the end of the night.
Having a wedding planner/coordinator was very important to us when we talked about our wedding. We both work full time and have very demanding jobs, 3 pets, and were planning a wedding an hour away from where we live. When we found Melanie, she made it very easy for us to update her and have our check in meetings while being remote and within our work schedules. It also helps that she is an awesome person and so bubbly. Even if we were on the phone late at night to get things done, it was enjoyable and we felt like she made the meetings as efficient as possible by asking the right questions and guiding the conversation.
The Day Of execution was wonderful and stress-free. Melanie was as prepared as we expected her to be, took control and had no problem being stern when necessary to ensure the day stayed to the timeline. She did a great job of coordinating everyone to make sure we didn’t see each other prior to the ceremony, per our request. IF we had to complain about something from the Day Of, it would be that we weren’t informed of a glass sign breaking (at the end of the night) and the cake being dropped (again at the end of the night). Neither of these things affected the day in any way, so I understand why she would have chosen not to tell us. I’m sure lots of brides would not want to know - I just happen to be one that would have. It was a real surprise to open our smooshed cake in the box at the end of the night hahaha. This is a very minute detail that shouldn’t take away from the job she did and the work she put in for us.
Chantilly Chic Celebrations/Melanie exceeded our expectations by extending information and assistance when it wasn’t required or in the contract. She really cares about your day and making sure that you get exactly what you want while also staying on budget.
If we ever get our vows renewed in Florida, Melanie will be our first call! ;)
Thank you so much for the effort you put in for us! We’d want to go back and do the night all over again - it was so perfect. -

Alex Sent on 02/03/2020Sydney and Melanie - a Dynamic Duo!
Melanie blew us away from the moment we had our first phone conversation! She was so personable, enthusiastic, and helpful. She took the time to really get to know us. She wanted to do whatever she could to help us get all the details right and match us with a planner that would best suit our needs. She's not just a coordinator, but a fabulous "match maker" because we could not have been happier to work with Sydney!
Sydney and Melanie are a dynamic duo, and their positivity and enthusiasm are contagious. We were also extremely impressed that Melanie took the time to be at many of our in-person meetings with Sydney. The two of them tackled every detail from the start, with loads of helpful recommendations and vendor referrals. They were also extremely organized and kept us on track throughout the planning. Sydney took care of every (and I mean every) detail of our wedding: finding linens; running the rehearsal; setting up our photo booth, place settings, seating chart, table displays, and more; keeping us on track time-wise; and of course coordinating continuously with all of our vendors!
Always just a phone call away, Sydney counteracted our constant indecisiveness, offering suggestions and support throughout the planning process. She also deftly handled all of the last minute hiccups with ease and insulated us from them. Sydney is also planning her own wedding, so she completely understands a bride's point of view which proved to be an extremely helpful quality.
On our wedding night Sydney and her assistant were wonderful! They constantly checked in on us, helped with whatever we asked of them, and even personally brought us drinks. Our wedding ran incredibly smoothly! All of our vendors arrived, set up, and performed exactly as we hoped. Not a single thing went wrong, and we have CCC to thank for that! They brought our vision to life and made our wedding night the best night of our lives!
We can't thank you enough!

Rikki Sent on 01/21/2020Sydney and Melanie made us forget there was a tropical storm outside!!
TROPICAL STORM NESTOR. Did that get your attention? It barely phased us as the bride and groom because we had Sydney and Melanie by our side for our destination wedding in Treasure Island in October 2019.
My husband and I live in Indiana, but we knew we wanted to have a destination wedding in our favorite place. We didn't have a budget, a color scheme, or a ton of time to meet with a lot of vendors to shop around. What we did have was some mood inspo photos, an idea of a "feeling" we wanted to achieve, and less than 6 months to achieve it.
We found Chantilly Chic through a recommendation of another vendor on our venue vendor list. We were so very grateful for this rec because from the very first few minutes of our first phone call with Melanie, we felt confident she was the backbone we needed to keep everything going. I feel stress so deeply that it manifests physically, and I knew I wanted to be a happy, healthy bride that felt great on my wedding day. Melanie gave me the confidence that I would be able to be exactly that for our wedding weekend with her support and her decision to assign Sydney as our lead planner. Having Melanie, who has a strong presence and direct, assertive way of approaching vendors and decisions to be made teamed with Sydney, who knew how to read our moods and in between the lines to make decisions on our behalf (mostly for me) when we were stressed or couldn't be there in person was exactly what we needed.
Their expertise and understanding of us as a couple were so crucial for us on our wedding day when a tropical storm unexpectedly hit right as we were scheduled to have our ceremony on the beach. They sprang into action with very little notice to move everything inside. We had accepted that we would be inside as a rain plan and had just rolled with whatever was going to happen with the changes because we trusted them and how they would handle all our vendors implicitly.
When we arrived at our venue, they had made a new entrance for our guests into the venue to protect them from the rain. They coordinated with our caterer to keep all of the food stations to be kept behind a false hedge wall (which was also a last minute change they arranged due to pipe and drape not fitting the lower ceiling) and had created an intimate aisle/altar so that our guests wouldn't have to sit at their tables watching us in the middle of our food stations saying our vows. Everything was so special and warm, even more than I think it would have been on the beach, because we didn't even need a mic, and everyone was so in the moment.
The event management package was perfect for us because it allowed us to make the big decisions and then two months out, Sydney and Melanie, took over to facilitate everything going smoothly and to ensure all small decisions were made too. And there are SO MANY small decisions that we wouldn't have even dreamed of but really made all the difference. Sydney asked what we wanted our cups to be filled with all night, I just didn't know how massively important that was going to be until we were in the middle of photos and she saw a look in my eyes that said I needed food and drink to re-energize.
Sydney and Melanie allowed us to be US on our wedding day and enjoy all the family that had come a great distance for our wedding weekend. We had a vacation and a celebration, instead of a job, and we'll forever be so grateful for that. -

Danielle Sent on 02/19/2019Melanie is the best!
The best decision we made during our wedding plan process was hiring Melanie from CCC. We did the full plan package which made finding the best vendors in our budget so easy! All we had to do was send over to Melanie what we wanted and she sent back a list of vendors which saved me so much time during the planning process! She kept the wedding planning process on track by sending over monthly check-ins with an updated budget and our "to-do" list for that month. She saved the day more than once and made our day go so smoothly with her detailed timeline and full communications with all of our vendors. We couldn't have asked for a better planner. I highly recommend Melanie at Chantilly Chic Celebrations for your special day! -

We used Chantilly Chic Celebrations for our day of coordination and it was the absolute best decision we made throughout the process. Crystal started working with us 8 weeks out and was an absolute pleasure to work with from day one. She helped make the planning process so seamless and easy. We had a few last minute changes and updates the week of the wedding and she was so extremely flexible and made everything so stress free for us. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and even exceeded all of our expectations thanks to Crystal and her team. She stayed from start to finish and we couldn’t thank her enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We HIGHLY recommend using Chantilly Chic Celebrations for your wedding! -

Erin Sent on 02/06/2019Melanie is amazing
From the start I knew Melanie and I were meant to be together. If I have a soulmate, other than my handsome hubby 😉 , it is Melanie!!! Her infectious personality, amazing sense of humor, and excitement for all things wedding made all my nerves and anxiety about the planning process melt away. I feel like the most common question you get while engaged is, ‘How is wedding planning going? Are you totally stressed?” and every time I was lucky enough to say “nope not at all! It is going great” and that is 100% because of Melanie and her amazing team.
I did not make it easy on this girl and she delivered far beyond even my wildest dreams!! I had vague thoughts on look and feel for the day but nothing I could really put my finger. Melanie took my two or three comments and totally ran with them, creating the most amazing atmosphere for our wedding. She totally got what I meant when I said, “organized chaos” and “nothing too matchy matchy” to create an elegant and fun New Years Eve wedding.
Now let me tell you, Melanie is one busy lady. Even though she had multiple weddings she was juggling, some even the same weekend as mine, I always felt like her #1 priority. She was so amazing to answer my questions and calm my fears all hours of the day.
Melanie, Corey and I cannot even begin to thank you for being you, keeping us laughing, putting up with my moments of crazy, and creating the most memorable day for us! We love you and can’t wait to see you on our annual trips to Florida! 😊

Sara Sent on 06/25/2018I will truly never be able to thank Melanie and her team, Lori, Amber, Kelly for everything they did for our special day! During the craziest, most exciting and yet quite possibly the most stressful season, they were so good about keeping me calm and confident in our planning and decisions. Everything was more beautiful and perfect than I ever imagined. The whole day went so smoothly and I was just blown away by how easy and happy our day was. Their day of timeline, venue layout, etc they made was all so organized and detailed, I felt so good going into the big day. Our venue was the Moreans Arts Center for Clay so we had to bring everything into the venue ourselves (catering, bartending, rentals, florists etc.. all of it!), which seemed kind of hectic but they were so good and organized about contacting and keeping our many vendors organized and prepared. I work north Tampa but they were flexible with my schedule and made our meetings work, even staying late when needed to make sure I felt good with all questions answered before leaving. We were referred to them by a couple past Brides, and we're so glad we listened! I will definitely be continuing on the referrals to anyone getting married in the future. My mom and I could not have had a better experience, and booking Chantilly Chic is BY FAR the best decision we made for our wedding.

She took the stress out of all the planning and execution so we could truly enjoy our day. Melanie is super knowledgeable and very easy to talk too. She was so patient with all my questions, concerns and even when I needed to vent about work. The whole day went off without a hitch and it was the Best. Day. Ever.

Jade Sent on 05/01/2018I have always wanted a gorgeous wedding, but never had any interest in wedding planning, so it did not take my fiancé and I long to come to the conclusion that we needed a full planning package. I spoke to a few planners on the phone before finally speaking with Melanie from Chantilly Chic. Melanie was friendly, passionate, funny, and she took the time to get to know ME as a person (not just as the bride) during our first phone call. I have never laughed so much with someone I just met. About a week later, Melanie reached out to me and she was genuinely excited about my wedding. As Melanie came to find out, I am pretty indecisive and it can take me forever to make a decision and stick with it, but the extra effort from Melanie made me feel like she genuinely cared for me and that I could put the most important day of my life into her hands! Choosing Melanie from Chantilly Chic to be our wedding planner was hands down the best investment we made in our wedding. Melanie is very organized and she was able to motivate me and keep me on track during the wedding planning process. During our first in person meet up she presented me with the sweetest gift basket and wooed me even more. We discussed my vision, my priorities, things I absolutely needed at my wedding, colors, flowers, you name it. I did not realize how much really goes into planning a wedding and sometimes I became overwhelmed quickly. After getting to know Melanie and once I knew she truly understood my vision, I gave up some control in order to stay calm during the planning process. Melanie had a list of her trusted local vendors that she had me look through in the goal of me choosing the vendors. After weeks of indecision and stress, I finally had to tell Melanie that I trusted her and I wanted her to choose the vendors for me. I was thrilled with every vendor Melanie chose because my wedding was absolutely perfect. Melanie was always very patient with me and I swear she has to have some training in psychol

Leah Sent on 01/06/2017My husband and I hired Chantilly Chic Celebrations as day of coordinators for our wedding. Everything turned out perfect and we absolutely could not have done it without them! They are professional in every sense of the word. They will handle everything, including small details you would never think of on your own. They are both charming and it was a pleasure to work with them which means a lot. Also, even though they are amazingly sweet, they are still 100% capable of taking charge from other vendors when necessary and of directing a large wedding with ease! My husband and I were not even considering hiring a day of planner in the beginning. However, as the big day approached, we started to realize what an overwhelmingly large amount of work it would have been for us and our families to coordinate everything the day of! Hiring a day of planner was hands down the best decision we made regarding our wedding. The girls are worth every penny and more. If you're looking for coordinators, look no further, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you so much Melanie and Crystal! <3 -

Randy Sent on 10/03/2016These two wedding planners were great to work with! They did day of coordinating for our June wedding and we were blow away by the job they did. They captured our idea beautifully and we just loved everything about them. They were super nice and very professionally, every question we had was answered immediately. We highly recommend Chantilly Chic Celebrations to anyone looking for wedding planners because they are truly the best and worth every penny.
