Melissa Young & Paramount Events became my savior after I (foolishly) tried to plan a wedding myself from the opposite side of the country. I live in Los Angeles, and was planning a summer wedding in Mystic, Connecticut (with less than 4 months to plan from start-to-finish, AND while working a demanding full-time job).

Melissa was spectacular! She was patient, completely understanding of my situation, and easily understood my vision. Although my budget was challenging, with Melissa's connections & help she was able to secure deals that allowed me to have the "wedding of my dreams" at the budget I'd set for myself.

Overall, she was incredibly organized & detailed, easy to communicate with, and able to understand and enhance my creative vision even from afar. Despite the fact that I was on the opposite side of the country & a 3 hours time difference throughout most of the planning process, it never seemed to matter: Melissa was always readily available, responsive, and able to be my "eyes & ears" when I was still in California. She picked out & designed all my flowers & tablescapes remotely (based on my references & our phone conversations), and they were PERFECT! She goes above & beyond to ensure that every need is met, and every detail taken care of. My husband & I both work in a Creative industry, and are very particular about "look" and design....and Melissa absolutely understands creative visions, no matter how complicated or unusual, and is able to execute them flawlessly.

I was absolutely thrilled with the day, and I owe 100% of that to Melissa. She is a pro who clearly loves what she does, and has an eye for perfection!

Melissa and her team did an amazing job. I would highly recommend Paramount Wedding Designs!

I thought planning a wedding would have been easy but as I started the process that is where I learned it wasn't the case for me. When Mel came into the picture she lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. She took care of travel arrangements for family and friends out of state. She provided me with a wonderful photographer that captured the beauty and elegance of the day. The floral arrangements were out of this world. I honestly never thought I would have such a gorgeous wedding and get it all with such ease. Mel was always there when I needed her to answer any questions or there to provide the vision for things I couldn't see.

Thank you Mel for everything. It was such a pleasure working with you. Any future Bride will be so lucky to have you.
