    Absolutely amazing!

    Melissa and her team were absolutely amazing. The entire process from start to finish was seamless. They made the planning so easy for my daughter’s wedding. The execution of the day of the wedding was perfect and we were able to enjoy every minute!

    The best planner for a Magical Wedding

    We worked with Melissa Betancourt from Events on a Budget and Luxurious Events for over a year. We had no doubt after our first meeting with her that she was the wedding planner we wanted to work with. She definitely captured our vision and gave us brilliant ideas which brought the wedding to a different level. This Planner has an excellent team that was always willing to help, including Daniella who was also exceptional. The team has excellent relationships with so many vendors, and Melissa was able to negotiate the best prices and services and pass on their excellent pricing and discounts to us. Melissa kept us so well organized with monthly emails and check in calls so that it never felt stressful. She also accommodated our busy work schedules and met us after hours. More importantly, Melissa always made us feel as a priority and as if though we were her only client (which we know we weren't). As the wedding date approached and we were worried about the weather, she had everything lined up for a plan B, which fortunately was never needed, and we had beautiful weather, but the fact that she had everything ready as a backup made us feel more relaxed. The wedding turnout out to be absolutely magical. We received so many compliments from guests, vendors, and the venue. One thing is for sure, if it was not for the amazing talent, service and skills of this planner it would not have been possible.

    Fabulous vendor, and so easy to work with!

    We are so grateful for EOB and Melissa B for all her help leading up to our big day. She was phenomenal to work with, and as an out of town bride they made everything so easy.

    The coordinated all our rentals, florals, catering, vendor management, and the day of coordination!! It all went so smooth, it was truly a fairy tale day! We so appreciate the EOB team!

    Outstanding service by Melissa B

    Melissa B was our wedding planner and we started to plan 8 months before the big day! This was a destination wedding for us. We are from Sydney Australia, and planning a wedding in Miami could’ve been challenging with the distance and time differences for our meetings. Melissa was so flexible with times, she worked outside of her work hours and for us it was 5am zo meetings. From multiple video tours of venues until describing in detail the cake flavours and the catering. Sending us more then enough information about each vendor and setting up meetings with all of them individually. It all worked out so well! From the beginning until the end Melissa was consistent, organised and so super helpful until the smallest detail. There is a lot of stress and emotions involved before the wedding and Melissa knew exactly how to calm the nerves and found for every issue and challenge a great solution. The wedding itself was seamless and looked like a true fairytale story. All our guests were telling us that this was the most beautiful wedding they’ve ever been to. Melissa B exceeded our expectation and we would recommend EVERYONE to have Melissa & the team being a part of their wedding. We can not thank Melissa and team Events on A Budget enough of how great and amazing of a job they’ve done.

    Thank you so much for the review. It was such a pleasure working with you and Nate. I wish you the most beautiful marriage full of love and happiness. Love always, Mel xoxo

    No Worry Services!

    From the beginning we felt like we were in good hands. Daniella was absolutely amazing and helped me with all the little details I hadn’t even thought of. We also bundled our florals with the day of coordination. The flowers exceeded everything I could have even imagined. Day of, Daniella and her assistant did amazing with the reception and made sure we were taken care of. She even helped me change out of my dress, which was no easy feat. We agreed the best expense of our wedding was hiring Events on a Budget. We couldn’t have had such a perfect day without them!

    Working with Events on a Budget was by far the best wedding planning decision that my husband and I made!

    Daniella, our wedding planner, was thoughtful and supportive throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was very detail oriented and knowledgeable, and had a great relationship with our vendors and venue.

    I highly recommend Daniella and the EOAB team! They’re exceptional at what they do and made sure that our wedding day was special!

    Amazing experience!!

    Events on a Budget helped us create the most perfect wedding day that my husband and I, as well as our family, still obsess over daily!! Our planner, Daniella understood what was important to us and made it happen, even when we decided to make some last minute changes! They created the most beautiful day and relieved my wedding planning stress along the way!! With being an out of state bride, I started planning very nervous but Daniella put my ease! She was attentive, professional, adaptable, and efficient!
    Our wedding day went so smoothly, I was able to relax and just enjoy the moment! Daniella ensured that every thing went perfectly so we could just breathe! Highly recommend!!

    Thanks so much for your kinds words Genevieve! Glad your experience was memorable and beautiful. Best wishes to you and Chuck, xoxo

    Great wedding planning services!

    I hired Events On A Budget as my wedding planner for my wedding at Redland Koi Gardens. I got a package with them, which included the rentals, DJ, photo/video, and flowers. I hired an outside caterer for the food/drinks, but EOAB coordinated with the caterer and the venue, and they pretty much took care of everything. I also brought some additional decor and my wedding planner set it up for me. She also set up the desserts table. EOAB responded to all questions promptly and assisted me in making all the important decisions. Hiring them definitely relieved a lot of the stress involved in planning your wedding. My planner was Daniella, I highly recommend her and the company.

    Events On A Budget's reply:

    Maria-Gracia, Thank you so much for your feedback, we greatly appreciate it! We are happy to know your wedding was amazing & with the help of Daniella & our team you were able to enjoy the planning process!

    Best planner

    The best planners out there! Olga was our planner who saved the day after we had to switch our wedding day due to family reasons. She went above and beyond and made sure the wedding day went perfectly! Cannot recommend her enough! You won't regret it

    Passionate, Professional, Perfect!

    The Events on a Budget team went above and beyond our expectations.

    As a couple who live in Los Angeles trying to plan a wedding in Miami, we knew we needed someone who could guide us along our journey. The team at EoaB were incredible. They put quote after quote together for us as we added and removed things from their traditional wedding in a box package, and they did so without batting an eye.

    The vendors recommended to us (and we went with) were absolutely TOP NOTCH. Every single person was professional, courteous, friendly, and wonderful. I can't say enough wonderful things about the people that helped make our day so special.

    Know that the most communication will happen at the beginning of your planning process and the month before the big day. Of course they are communicative throughout, but don't fret if you don't hear from them for a while as everything is being taken care of behind the scenes (and there is only so much that can be done 7 months in advance after the big vendors have already been booked).

    Melissa and her day of staff were ON IT. Those women work so hard to ensure things are smooth, taken care of, and that YOU don't have to worry about a thing. We had guests come up to us to say how amazing our wedding planners and coordinators were. That's unheard of!

    Overall, we can't recommend them enough and are grateful and thankful we chose them to help us plan our wedding. Use them if you have the opportunity.

    Hire Events on a Budget! Best Decision Ever!

    Hiring the Events on a Budget team for our wedding was the best decision! We loved the Wedding in a Box option- it gave us the flexibility to plan our vision and the support we needed during the process. The vendors that we selected as part of our package were AMAZING! Melissa Betancourt from EOAB was so wonderful to work with! She made us feel heard and excited throughout the planning process. She is patient, detailed, reassuring, and a bustle queen! When it rained during our cocktail hour, Melissa and her team worked quickly to make sure that the party could continue. Everything ran smoothly and we didn't worry about a thing! We are grateful to Events on a Budget for all they did to make our wedding perfect. We highly recommend hiring them for your special day!

    Incredible Service for a Magical Day

    Melissa and the Events on a Budget team were absolutely incredible to work with. Their friendliness, professionalism, responsiveness, and organization went beyond our expectations. We got in touch a full two years before our wedding for their services and they were with us every step of the way. Melissa knew what questions to ask and when to offer her opinion, down to the last detail. Our wedding was a dream!

    The best planners!

    My husband and I had an amazing experience with events on a budget! Our venue didn’t come with anything but when we found EOB we were so happy to have them plan our dream wedding! Our wedding planner Daniella was THE BEST! She was on top of every detail from the second she was assigned to us until the last minute of our wedding day. She was so polite, helpful, organized and informative on everything throughout the entire planning process. She had the best patience a wedding planner could ever have even at times where we tried to change things last minute. We definitely recommend EOB 10/10 to help plan your special day!

    Yeniz,

    Melissa and Daniella were incredible! Daniella made my entire experience so easy and seamless and approached everything with kindness and professionalism.

    Best wedding day

    Events on a budget (EOAB) was an amazing group to work with. Not only did I feel no stress during the planning, I also felt completely confident in the capability of this group. When I had questions- they answered. When I didn’t like something- they fixed it. My actual wedding day was a dream. Everything came out better than I could ever imagine. I highly recommend EOAB to plan your wedding! You won’t be disappointed!

    Best Wedding Coordinating Team!

    If you are questioning, whether or not to have a wedding coordinator, do it! You will definitely not regret the decision! Events on a Budget is the best company to use for this. They were fast, efficient, professional, and they do things with excellence. I highly recommend them. I was not worried about a thing on my day, thank to EOAB. It was the best day ever because they handled every detail and mishap. They were awesome!

    Modern black & white aesthetic dreams come true!

    10/10 using EOAB for all your wedding needs! Everything I ever wanted was made possible with their team, my planner was Melissa B and I am so thankful to have had her be a part of my planning process, she made everything so easy and basically stress-free. The cake, DJ, transportation, lighting, decor, day-of assistant, catering, and flowers provided through this company was fantastic, my guests and bridal party still rave about my special day. I can’t say enough good things and I will always recommend this company to anyone I know that’s getting married!

    Worth every penny!!!

    My only regret was not reaching out to Events on a Budget sooner. Daniella was our day of coordinator and she was absolutely amazing!!! She was so organized and sweet to not only myself and my husband, but everyone in our wedding party. There were several things I was stressed about on the day of the wedding but Daniella ensured that everything was taken care of and truly made our wedding day run seamlessly. I cannot say enough nice things about her and I will absolutely be referring EOAB to anyone I know planning a wedding!

    Melissa is the most AWESOME wedding planner ever! She is super responsive to emails and is very patient. My daughter's wedding looked amazing! It was hard to believe that we did this wedding on a budget! The florist she uses is incredible. The flowers were beyond our expectations. I can't begin to explain how wonderful Events on a Budget is! The decor was beautiful and Melissa took care of everyone. If we needed anything- it appeared. Everything ran smoothly- all vendors were on time and were very professional. I highly recommend this company!

    Best Decision Ever

    Our venue coordinator recommended EOAB when we toured the space. Hiring EOAB was the best decision we made during our wedding planning. Melissa was so friendly, respectful, and professional. She's very knowledgeable and is always so honest about what would work and what would not. It's funny how sometimes I disagree with her but I ended up going with what she suggested. We had some last minute emergency with Miami weather and shipping (we are out of town) but Melissa took care of it. We also learned that Melissa was going through some body pain on the day of our wedding and she chose to stay until the wedidng was over. We were so touched by that and had so much respect for her. I highly recommend Melissa and her team. Thank you Melissa and Dani for making our wedding a fairytale! We love you!

    Picture Perfect Planner

    When my husband and I got engaged we were overwhelmed with the wedding planning process UNTIL he found Events on a Budget. Melissa, our wedding planner, brought our vision to life and absolutely nailed every aspect of our wedding day. She sent us monthly task lists, came with us to every vendor appointment, kept us sane, and was always accessible and transparent. Throughout the planning process the dynamic with Melissa expanded beyond a business relationship to a more of a friendship. She made an effort to understand who we are as a couple and our style, ensuring that our wedding truly captured the essence of us. My review can not be complete with out a huge shout out to Eudely. The floral arrangements at our wedding were truly a dream! I could instantly tell the passion and pride Eudely has in her work. Her floral work was above and beyond anything I had ever imagined for our wedding day. My bouquet was a work of art and all of the flowers were so fresh and absolutely stunning. If you are newly engaged and don't know where to start or if your half way through and overwhelmed, book Events on a Budget!
