The ONLY Planner to Trust for your Important Day.
I plan events as part of by job, and I knew I needed a planner for our wedding to ensure that we were not the ones running around during wedding weekend. I cannot thank Melissa enough for how calm she kept us (and our families). Melissa allowed us to have as much free reign in the planning as we liked, and guided us through the final stages so we didn't have to wonder if any detail was missed. Beyond incredible organization, Melissa is just a joy to work with. We could immediately crack jokes and laugh about the funny little pieces that pop up during preparing for your wedding.
If you are considering hiring a planner, first of all just do it. Your wedding day self will thank you. Second of all, hire Knot Too Shabby. Melissa's organization and talent for planning coupled with amazing personality will leave you feeling supported and stress free.
