Best Wedding Planner Ever!

Hire Melissa. Best decision you'll ever make for your wedding. She's a rock star! She’ll go out of her way to make this the best day of your life. She got our style right away. We were going for a sweet, rustic charm. She came out and met us (even before we hired her!) to show us around her favorite venue because she thought it would be perfect for us. She was right! She connected us with vendors who matched out style and personalities while keeping to our budget. She came up with décor ideas and helped us stay on track, which was super helpful because we had so much going on at the time. We really didn’t have the time to hunt down vendors. She came up with our center pieces and let us borrow a lot of things from her, like lanterns and log slices. She had great advice about everything and was always available if you had a question or thought. She really helped us brainstorm and come up with the best wedding for us, incorporating all our geeky details into her rustic décor (we got married on Pi Day, after all). She made the day magical. And you don’t only get planning help, she helps day of, too! Hire her. Seriously, why are you still here? She’s worth every penny.

So glad we found her

Melissa, Under the Moon Events, is a gem. At our first meeting she made us feel so comfortable. She knows her stuff. She started asking questions I didn’t know to ask. I know that we won’t have to worry about this wedding with Melissa helping us

Amazing Wedding

Melissa and her team did a wonderful job decorating the venue for our wedding and made sure things were going as planned. Everything looked great and our wedding was amazing because of them.
