Stress-Free Wedding!!
Melinda was incredibly easy to work with, responsive and professional. She made our wedding day flow seamlessly (despite the weather), and took care of coordinating all vendors… We did not have to worry about a thing! If there’s one thing I would highly recommend, it would be to use Melinda as your day of coordinator! We could not have done it without her!!Melinda was incredibly easy to work with, responsive and professional.

My Wedding Fairy Godmother!!
Besides my husband, Melinda is the reason my wedding day was the best day of my entire life. This woman is an absolute saint, and she knows the wedding industry like the back of her hand. I opted for her day-of coordination package, but it was so much more than her just showing up on the wedding day. She gave me incredible vendor recommendations, talked me off the ledge during wedding planning meltdowns, kept everything on track both prior to the wedding and the day of, and basically waited on me hand and foot during my reception. She even had her handy dandy sewing kit to help sew the hook closure back on my dress when it broke LITERALLY 5 minutes before walking down the aisle. She was like my wedding fairy godmother. Five stars are not nearly enough to convey how amazing she is, and I cannot recommend her enough!!Besides my husband, Melinda is the reason my wedding day was the best day of my entire life.

Amazing, stress-free wedding
Hands down, hiring Melinda was the best decision we made for our wedding. We (and our families) were totally relaxed on our wedding day thanks to Melinda's hard work. We couldn't have done it without her. She had every detail covered and everything ran so smoothly day-of that we were actually ahead of schedule for our photographer! We really appreciated her flexibility with some last minute changes we had to make and she made it seems like it was easy (which I'm sure it's really not). I really can't recommend her highly enough!Hands down, hiring Melinda was the best decision we made for our wedding.

Stress Free Destination Wedding Day
Melinda and Keri were absolutely wonderful to work with.
They made sure everything ran smoothly from beginning to end. They took our vision and brought it to life. We can’t thank them enough for being there to answer every question and make sure everyone was happy. Our wedding day was like a dream - a fairytale.
Thank you both for everything - you made our day so special.

No stress on my bid day!
I know it sounds cliche, but I had ZERO stress on my wedding day! Planning a wedding during COVID plus from another state, it was stressful! But, I was able to meet up with Melinda a few months prior to the big day and she was so thorough with getting the vision for my big day! No detail was overlooked when it came to the big day. I seriously had no moments of worrying about any details! Heck.. I even texted her to see if things were going fine (such a type A), but everything was handled perfectly. I was truly able to enjoy the full day with no worries! I can't thank her enough :)I know it sounds cliche, but I had ZERO stress on my wedding day!

The BEST planner/coordinator
I absolutely loved working with Melinda and her team. My wedding day went by so smoothly thanks to them. She has amazing recommendations on vendors that she has worked with and makes sure you stick to your budget. She goes out of her way to make sure her brides are happy and does the most for them. If you are looking for a wedding planner/coordinator look no further!!I absolutely loved working with Melinda and her team. My wedding day went by so smoothly thanks to them.

Planner & Coordinator
Melinda is absolutely amazing at what she does! We had to pivot from a big, tropical wedding on the beach to a small, intimate garden wedding within two months, (plus the hurricanes to deal with!) and there was no way we could have done it without her. Everything turned out wonderful. We received so many compliments on how everything looked and turned out. Melinda already knew our vendors which made it so easy, and she had vendors ready to recommend (who were also amazing) when we had to change our plans. We couldn't recommend her enough for all your wedding needs. Thank you so much, again, Melinda!Melinda is absolutely amazing at what she does!

Melinda was a god send for planning every last detail for our wedding. I wasn’t stressed at all because she had it handled. Hiring her was the best money I’ve ever spent! There are so many things that I never even thought about and she was on top of everything. So thankful she was apart of our journey for our day!Melinda was a god send for planning every last detail for our wedding. I wasn’t stressed at all because she had it handled.

Way over and beyond!!!
We aren’t sure where to start with Melinda! In short, she helped create our beautiful dream wedding in ways I could never imagine! Days later, guests still keep talking about how incredibly sweet, organized, and calm she was! Among lots of other things Melinda did, she surprised us by adding a gorgeous floral arrangement to our arbor!!! Long story short, I was too overwhelmed with details/and cost of wedding planning and just decided to add just simple fabric. In reality, I wanted more. In a very short time the day of, Melinda and a few bridesmaids decided to create a floral arrangements with extra flower to add the special touch! Even more, she never mentioned it - I found out about this sweet surprise through other guests!!! Melinda, your presence meant the world to us! Thank you ten times over!

If you want a stress-free, beautiful ceremony- HIRE HER!
Melinda was great! My husband and I decided that we wanted to get married right away after we got engaged, so we set the date within 3 months of hiring Melinda. We wanted something sweet and simple, but with us having such a large family that made the planning a little more difficult. Melinda assured me that everything I wanted could happen and she sure enough made my dreams come true, plus some. I did not have to lift a finger, and after watching my sister plan her very large traditional wedding without a planner, I knew I did not want to do the same. Melinda made sure I was not stressed out about any detail, she literally took care of everything possible. She has a great selection of vendors with very affordable prices. I would recommend her for anyone thinking about whether or not it is worth it to hire a planner. DO IT :)Melinda was great!

Best wedding decision i made
There are no words to describe Melinda, she is a absolute blessing. I used Melinda as a coordinator, but she went way beyond the day of, and was there to help me whenever i needed her throughout the whole process. If there’s anyone who knows this business, it’s Melinda! She knows all the ins and outs, and gets everyone (vendors, wedding party, etc) in place and makes sure everything goes as planned! We all know, problems do arise, and Melinda even created a bridesmaid bouquet that got forgotten about last min and it was beautiful! She took all the stress away from me, and handled everything beautifully and it was my dream wedding. Her attention to detail is perfection, and she’s incredibly organized. We had things packed and in the right peoples cars that even i didn’t know where they were suppose to go, she was always a step ahead of me. Even all the vendors she recommended, were absolute perfection. Melinda is so easy to work with, super personable and never makes you feel like you are talking nonsense (which i couldn’t even keep up with anything i was saying, wedding planning is hard lol) and she helps you every step of the way. I cannot express how positive my experience with Melinda was, 100% recommend her to anyone!! She doesn’t settle for less, and goes all out with everything she does and always takes the extra mile to make your day perfect.

Partial planning
I've known Melinda for years so believe me when I say she deserves to be praised for the amazing work she does behind the scenes. We used her for partial planning and she did not disappoint. She is so organized, collected and knowledgeable. She has quite a bit of experience in wedding planning and it really shows when she knew exactly what I wanted even when I was unsure and overwhelmed. I would 100% recommend her for any and all planning services!I've known Melinda for years so believe me when I say she deserves to be praised for the amazing work she does behind the scenes.

Melinda was such a pleasure to work with. She was so organized and helped keep everything on track from 3 months out through the entire wedding and reception.

I would still recommend !
Overall I was pleased. The day of my wedding Melinda seemed a bit aggravated/ irritated. It was extremely awkward! I don’t believe this was her personality. We had spoke on the phone many times before the wedding day and she was very perky and peppy!
I’m not sure if the circumstances of my wedding day just overwhelmed her? I’m not sure. Overall I was a little embarrassed! I didnt want to say anything that made her more upset.
She did do a lot for me, and for the price I shouldn’t complain! I was just surprised- for sure! I would still recommend her.Overall I was pleased.
