10/10 recommend Melissa and her wonderful team!

Melissa was so incredible! Our only regret was not getting a higher package so she could have helped us with more. The day of the wedding was completely flawless. She took all of our materials in the morning and set them up beautifully. We were amazed when we saw the reception and cocktail area.

Her assistant Kylie was so amazing too. I was a bit nervous for the day and having her around helped calm my nerves. She had a solution for any little thing we needed including adding a new whole to my shoes because they were too big.

10/10 recommend Melissa and her wonderful team!

Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings gave me the wedding of my dreams!

Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings gave me the fairytale wedding of my dreams! I hired Sweet Blossom Weddings for partial planning services and it was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. After an extensive and at times bizarre search for a wedding planner, I spoke to Melissa on the phone and immediately knew that I wanted to hire Sweet Blossom Weddings. She came across as calm yet confident, friendly but take charge, and those all proved to be true in the twelve-plus months that I worked with her.

Planning a wedding is such a daunting experience and I don’t know what I would’ve done without Melissa, who has tons of experience and connections, guiding me through the process. She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, helped us set a budget, created a gorgeous design board, connected us with amazing vendors, combed through our event orders, and generally just made sure we made the right decisions at the right times. One highlight was when she caught that I accidentally ordered beige linens and napkins when I meant to order light blue napkins. (I know that sounds minor but I didn’t spend over a year planning a wedding to have beige on beige in my table scape!) Sweet Blossom Weddings also provides you with access to aisle planner and have an extremely detailed checklist to help guide you through the planning process as well as helpful guides for tipping, vendor interviews, etc. Melissa was also always available throughout the planning process to answer random questions, join vendor calls, and would even suggest video check-ins or phone calls at various points in the planning process to catch up.

Melissa and her team were also all stars on our wedding day. Melissa ensured that everything was set up perfectly and that the day went without a hitch. My maid of honor said it best when she said, “I love Melissa. She’s a HBIC who wasn’t going to let anything bad happen on your wedding day.” The Sweet Blossom Weddings bridal and set-up assistants—Mae and Jess—were also godsends on the day of the event. I spent the most time with Mae as my bridal assistant, and she helped guide me through the day, gathering everything for my detail shots, connecting with transportation and the photographer, holding my train, and, together with Melissa and Jess, taking care of all set-up, logistics, and coordination to ensure that I got to be present with my friends and family and actually enjoy my wedding.

When people ask me about my wedding, I get to say without hesitations that “It was perfect.” And that’s all thanks to Melissa and Sweet Blossom Weddings!

Emma and her team >>>> other wedding planners

Emma and her team did an AMAZING job!!! With a sick moh, missing groom clothes, and a spill on my dress (which Emma was able to get out before our first dance!!) these girls make our day amazing and stress free! She was super responsive (coming from a very type A bride) and very kind! Her college Jasmine was great as well! Even taught my husband how to slow dance because we didn't practice lol but I can't recommend Sweet Blossom more! Also Emma's hat was amazing (:
