A pleasure to work with.

After we had made the decision to work with Mella from Prim & Proper Events, the most amazing things followed, and we had her with us every step of the way to help us decide how to make our wedding the most beautiful day in a way that represented us as a couple. She truly loves what she does and this was immediately apparent from the first moment I spoke with her.  As a bride to be, having a true professional run point on every aspect of the planning, presenting gorgeous ideas for you to consider (when you didn't even know these ideas were possible!) and having someone available at any time to make you feel that everything is being taken care of without issue is what you want and need.

My planning was all over the place and I was ready to give up. My FH told me I should get some help, lol. Wedding help that is. I remembered how beautiful my best friends wedding was and we decided to hire Mel she did a fantastic job with all my tasks and I can’t thank her enough.
