I could tell from the first handshake Mel was going to be perfect. Professional, organized, and always knew what to say. She and her daughter came in the morning of and made all of our months of imagining come to fruition. I appreciate all that you did for me Mel. Thank you so much! -

Mel was so wonderful on our wedding day! Mel made me and my husband feel so at ease during the whole process and always made sure she was available when we needed to ask questions or had any concerns. On the day of our wedding, Mel was very professional and handled putting out small fires with ease. She truly was so wonderful and I highly recommend her services :) -

My daughter recently got married and Mel was our rock. She was on top of everything but never made us feel like she was taking over. She listened to what the bride and groom wanted and made it all happen. Having never hired a wedding coordinator before, we didn't realize she could do so much for us! Whenever we would mention, "Oh yes, we are going to take care of that." , Mel would reply, "I can do that for you if you would like!" While she listened to our ideas and requests, she would offer up tips and advice when asked, using her years of experience to help my daughter's special day run seamlessly! After going through this experience, I know how important it is to make sure all your bases are covered and to feel secure in knowing you have done just that. This is exactly why I wanted to share our experience with Mel. We had over 200 guests at the wedding, and Mel didn't blink! Thank you again, Mel! -

Mel is the most wonderful person I could’ve hired for my wedding. She went above and beyond and honestly deserved so much more than she asked for payment. She made sure we had the best day regardless of anything that could’ve happened or any hiccups that got in our way. She didn’t care how much we were in contact and she was 100% there for us as a friend also. I recommend Mel to anyone looking to plan a wedding or event who wants someone who CARES!!! She does what she loves and she does it with grace. Couldn’t be happier, not enough stars exist to rate our experience -

Alli Sent on 09/12/2022My wedding was amazing because of Mel!
Mel is simply incredible! I got married on Ocean Isle Beach, and it was expected to rain for the entire day. Mel made me feel so calm and collected about it all. We rehearsed under the gazebo the night before, and somehow it was a beautiful and sunny day the next day. She quickly adjusted and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams because of all her hard work. She knows the area vendors so well and will do all the behind scene work for you! My family didn't have to lift a finger with decorating or breaking down. Do yourself a favor and book Mel. She will bring your dreams to life and SO much more! -

I got married May 14, 2022! I am from Cleveland, OH, but my family has been vacationing in Sunset Beach for over 40 years; my husband and I quickly decided that was the perfect destination for our wedding. Needless to say I was nervous how I was going to plan a NC wedding from OH but Mel put my mind at ease right away.
Last May we met with Mel and I knew right away she was the wedding planner for me; her calm demeanor, knowledge of vendors in the area, sense of humor and responsiveness stood out right away. After we met we immediately got to planning! Mel and Shameka were amazing from start to finish. Mel saw my vision and made it come to life, she recommended all of the vendors we used and they were all nothing short of perfect!
Mel and Shameka were very responsive throughout the year of planning; whether it was emails back and forth, Zoom calls, or setting up meetings with vendors.
On the day of Mel and Shameka got right to work setting up everything (tables, chairs, decorations, etc.) it was hard to imagine how all of the different pieces would come together, but as soon as I saw everything it was as if the picture I had in my head came to life.
Our day was perfect and I have Special Days Weddings and Events to thank for it. My husband and I both say it was the best day of our lives. -

Mel is the best, very helpful, smart, creative and gets things done. I loved working with her and will do more events with her in the future. -

Maggie Sent on 12/11/2019Best wedding investment, hands down
There aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am that I chose Mel to be my day-of wedding coordinator. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, she was so easy to work with and was always there to answer every question we had. There were so many aspects of wedding planning that I would have never even thought of by myself. But thanks to Mel, every little detail was discussed and taken care of. She completely understood how I envisioned my wedding to look and pulled it off flawlessly. On the big day, everything went so smoothly and it was exactly what I had always hoped for. I know for a fact that none of that would have been possible without enlisting Mel's help. -

From beginning to end, Mel was there with questions and suggestions.
The things I didn't remember or even think about, she had it already covered. -

I am married now for three weeks ... I should say that my wedding day was absolutely perfect! Beautiful venue on the beach, flowers, food, my hair & makeup, ceremony , toasts and happy faces of our family and friends- all this were fruits of loving labor of our wedding planner, Mel O'Daniels ( Special Days Events).
Mel is an army! You hire one person and she brings whole team with her...Mel takes all your worries away, calms you down and holds your hand from the day you sign a contract with her till you say: I DO!
She has personal touch, wonderful taste, sharp proactive mind and connections- all that assures your wedding a success! Finding her was a gift from above !
Thank you , Mel, for absolutely beautiful wedding day - I will treasure this memories forever. I would not change a single thing in it! Thank you! -

AMAZING! I could not be happier
Mel and her assistant Shameka are AMAZING! I was very nervous that my big day would not go how I wanted it, I don't know why, but I was just very stressed because I had everything planned a certain way. I was actually going to just do the whole thing myself, but I AM SO GLAD I hired Mel for my day-of-coordinator. She made everything perfect! I would recommend 100%! THANK YOU! -
