Melinda is Great! She has a list of terrific vendors that she would recommend to you in the begining and all of them are wonderful professionals and within budget. I ended up using most of whom she introduced and assembled a team that has worked together many times before. Under Melinda's leadership, the team provided top-rated service on my Wedding Day and truely created a special memory for everyone invited. Melinda is very experienced in what she does, that's both planning for the Wedding and coordinating on the Wedding Day. She will lead you through every piece of detail and at times bargain on your behalf with the vendors. I lost track of how much I saved because of her. Unlike some other planners, she represents you, the client. On the day of, Melinda oversaw all the activities herself and made sure my bride and I could be worry-free and enjoy the day. It's a lot of fun working with Melinda; I would hire her again but that just can't happen (wedding-wise)... LOL

Melinda was an AMAZING wedding planner! From the beginning of the process until the end of the wedding night, she was there for me! She was always available to talk and we met at various times leading up to the wedding! She pointed me in the right direction with vendors and handled everything for me! I didn't realize the stress that would come with planning a wedding, but Melinda took care of all that for me and I completely trusted her and the wedding could not have been better! I will recommend her to anyone getting married!!! I can't say enough about how amazing she was and her staff!!!!

Like many couples, when we started planning our wedding, one of our first tasks was to find a venue. Hiring a wedding coordinator was not on the top of our list. Boy were we wrong. If we were to do it all over again, we would've started with a wedding coordinator... before all else.

Before we met Melinda, we thought we were doing a good job, doing our own research, interviewing vendors, etc. Meeting with Melinda for the first time was an eye opening experience. She reviewed our contracts and vendor selections, and offered honest evaluations, along with many cost cutting suggestions that we had not considered (i.e. negotiating the cost of kid's meals). Additionally, she offered so many great ideas, and was an invaluable resource. If only we had met with her earlier, it would've saved us hours of research, and given us so much more negotiating power.

Leading up to the wedding day, as stress levels began to rise, Melinda was always available, responsive, and constantly re-assuring us.

The wedding day was PERFECT, and went off without a hitch. We enjoyed every minute of the day, having full confidence in Melinda to take care of all the details. She was professional, extremely organized, and kept us on schedule. In hindsight, we know that more than any other vendor, Melinda was the reason the event was such a success.

To a fabulous wedding coordinator, and friend... THANK YOU!!
