Amanda W. Sent on 09/29/2021The greatest wedding coordinator!
We hired Melissa for wedding coordination, and she and her assistant Dee were amazing! Everything Melissa was involved with felt totally seamless. Leading up to the wedding, she provided us with tools to help us get organized, which helped us plan for details we hadn’t even thought about. The day of the wedding, I felt like I never had to have a thought about a single detail, which was the most incredible feeling. My parents, who created a lot of the elements of our wedding, including the flowers and favors, are also still raving about her! Melissa also worked with my family to surprise us on the wedding day and she even put a band-aid on my foot for me when I got a blister from dancing - she really went above and beyond! You will not regret hiring her!!Blue Moon Event Planning's reply:
Ahhhh thank you Amanda & Keith! You were a dream to work with and your family, friends, and vendors were so fun too! ✨✨✨ -

Melissa B. Sent on 11/07/2021Absolutely amazing wedding coordinator!
Melissa did such an amazing job as our wedding planner. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that our day went off flawlessly. She provided us with so much honest and helpful advice and was always so responsive via email and text. She was organized, thoughtful, attentive to detail and made sure that we were taken care of the entire day. She poured us wine at dinner, left us food in our hotel room for when we got back at the end of the night and even left out rose petals on our bed. You truly can't go wrong with Melissa - we would highly recommend Melissa as a wedding coordinator! -

Melissa was exactly what we were looking for! We were very budget conscious and I was somewhat unsure about spending money on a coordinator. I plan corporate events as part of my job so I felt like I could handle the coordination myself, BUT I also know that every big event needs someone running the show on-site and I didn't want that to be my family or friends, and I definitely didn't want it to be me. We met with Melissa and she was very personable and extremely organized, and I felt confident that we could trust her with the reins on the day-of. She gave us a very fair rate for day-of-coordination. We did the wedding planning ourselves, but we always kept her in the loop (so there were no surprises) and she was always happy to weigh in if we wanted a second opinion. She ended up creating our detailed day-of timeline and reaching out to all of the vendors the week before the wedding to touch base, make sure everything was on track, and make sure they knew she would be the point of contact. She led our ceremony rehearsal the day before the wedding, and she and her assistant were rockstars on the day of. I was sequestered to the bridal suite most of the morning while things got set up, and every time I asked someone to make sure something was on track, she was already on it. I can be a worrier and I was concerned that I'd be stressing about the little stuff on our wedding day, but I really wasn't, and it was because Melissa gave me the confidence that everything was under control. There's really nothing more important than being able to be in the moment and ENJOY your big day, and that's what Blue Moon Event Planning allowed us to do. -

So before I get into anything specific- Melissa (and Alex on the day-of) were absolutely fantastic. We had a meeting with another wedding coordinator a few weeks before we found Blue Moon and they showed up an hour late to our meeting saying they’d put us in on the wrong day. I’ve never been happier we looked for another coordinator. We didn’t have much budgeted for this in particular so we opted for just a day-of coordinator and Melissa worked with our price point very easily. The thing is… leading up to the wedding, Melissa went above and beyond just day-of duties. She kept us on track, made us a timeline, got ahold of our vendors… I mean, she really helped us plan the whole damn thing. Which was amazing since neither of us exactly knew what we were doing and seriously underestimated how complicated wedding planning is. On the day, my partner and I were the most stressed we’d ever been but Melissa and Alex did everything they could to take any unnecessary burdens off of us. I thought I was supposed to help set up! But they kept me in my bridal suite and even gave me some alcohol to calm my nerves. Honestly, I thought I was going to be stressed the entire day about how things were going, but as soon as I realized what an amazing job they all did, I didn’t have a care all night. She made sure my partner and I got canapes and champagne after the ceremony, she made sure we got the dinner we wanted, and that everything was spotless for load-out. I cannot say enough good things about Blue Moon. They take their jobs very seriously, but they’re also the nicest people. HIRE THEM. -

Jason Sent on 10/26/2019Responsive, detailed, and easygoing.
Melissa and Alex were a joy to work with. Easygoing, yet very responsive when needed, it always felt relaxed to communicate any concerns we had to Melissa whether it be about our venue/vendors or timeline. My wife and I opted for the day-of-coordination so when it came to transition/onboard the information, naturally there's always a bit of nervousness on how much of what we've planned together would execute as we imagined. Once we provided all of our vendor information, Melissa was able to take over by getting everyone on the same timeline arranging the best times and places for people to show up. Melissa, being patient and a great listener guided us through step-by-step on how everything would play out in detail and it eased our concerns we had. My wife and I were able to enjoy our most special day with no worries. We can highly recommend Bluemoon Event Planning being the center of your vendor team as they did not fail to deliver! -

Hannah Sent on 11/04/2019Wedding day of my dreams, thanks to Blue Moon!
A wedding coordinator was the one vendor that I thought I didn't need. However, my month-of coordinator, Melissa, turned out to be the most important vendor I hired. Melissa took all the hard word I'd done - researching and choosing all my vendors, designing all my wedding decor (table settings, making my own signs, designing floral arrangements, etc.) and even making my own wedding cake and dessert table - and tied everything together seamlessly. Being a Type A person, it was so hard for me to accept the fact that, on my wedding day, it was impossible for me to physically put everything together exactly as I had envisioned...but Melissa made that happen.
Pre-wedding: created a timeline and took over communicating with all my vendors until the actual wedding day; acted as the "bad guy" and said, "no," when my bartender wanted to bring in his own photographer to take photos for social media; orchestrated moving all my belongings and hair and makeup into a new room when mid getting ready, the air conditioner stopped working in my hotel room; she helped zip me into my tight ass wedding dress 😂; most importantly, she kept us on track and made sure we stuck to the timeline.
Wedding: Once I arrived at the venue, words can't even describe how happy I was with how everything looked. Melissa and her assistant, Dee, made sure everything was set up just as I had wanted. Every single detail was in order. They set up all the DIY decor exactly as I had planned; helped troubleshoot the caterer telling us last minute that they needed another table for appetizers; made sure my makeup and dress were on point during photos; when the ceremony started, as I started to come down the aisle, I was so nervous that I forgot my bouquet. I hadn't even noticed I forgot it until Dee ran over and handed it to me so fast, no one even noticed; at the end of the night, Melissa helped me decide what to tip each vendor; packed to go plates for my husband and I; wrapped up the top layer of my cake and sent it home with my mom; stayed until the very last minute to make sure all the things I wanted to take home were packaged up and sent with my family, and the entire venue was clean, ensuring I got my full deposit back. After all of that, somehow, Melissa was able to make it back to my hotel room to set up my wedding floral arrangements and sprinkle rose petals on the bed!
My wedding day was literally, the best day of my life and I can honestly say, a huge part of that is because of Melissa and her team. Melissa, thank you so much for everything...from the first meeting to the final hug at the end of the night. You are the absolute best and Andre and I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work!!! 😘 -

Melissa and her BLUE MOON staff were absolutely incredible. They were so on top of every detail that I didn't have to stress on my wedding day. They even packed up all the decor at the end of the night so perfectly as if it was
never all unwrapped. I'm so grateful for them! It was truly a magical day/night. They felt like family not like a hired event planning company. They are so friendly and so organized! We highly recommend using them for your next event! -

Blue Moon Event Planning was exactly what we needed for our wedding in March 2019. As an event planner myself, I have very hire standards, especially for the person I'd be handing over the reins to for a such an important day. Melissa and her team were extremely organized and professional from the get-go, asked the right questions and executed beautifully on the day of. If any major issues arrived on the day of, I didn't know it, because they troubleshooted and took care of it. Thank you Blue Moon! - Crystal & JoshBlue Moon Event Planning's reply:
Thank you Crystal!! We had a great time making your day amazing. Your trust in us was fantastic, we made it all happen with your excellent prep work. So much love to you both! XOXO -

I am so glad I hired this company! I was sure I wouldn’t need a coordinator in addition to the onsite help provided but when I spoke to Melissa about three weeks before the wedding I had a feeling I’d regret. Trusting my instinct was the best decision I made about the wedding. Melissa is knowledgable, flexible, responsive, and helpful. Wedding day began and finished without a hitch that I was aware of, it was perfect. This company provides a perfect blend of professionalism, positivity, class, and fun. -
Christopher Sent on 09/16/2018Planning your own wedding is no joke… From music and cakes, to boutonnieres and napkin folds, attention to detail is of the utmost importance- especially when it’s your own wedding! My husband and I spent almost two years planning our big day down to the tiniest element—scouting venues, researching, vetting and hiring vendors, choosing color-schemes, even building centerpieces!
What we didn’t plan was who was going to pull all of this together when we were…ya know…getting married? We knew early on that, while we had a specific vision, we would need help to tie it all together. Luckily, one of our best friends is not only the top wedding and event planner that we know, but she was also one of our groomsmaids! Melissa (more formally known as Blue Moon Event Planning) worked with us from “Will you?” to “I do.”—helping to coordinate the perfect proposal, providing insights on venues and vendors, even helping us hand-tie ceremony programs. And of course, overseeing the logistics of the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, “day of” vendor-coordination and ceremony! Melissa was brilliant! She kept everything and everyone on time and in line…and with our wedding party, that was no easy feat!
We couldn’t have done it without Melissa. Her attention to every detail, positive attitude and genuine care for how we were doing, made our special day possible. She took every specific detail that we had dreamed up and turned them into a reality- one that we will never forget! If you are looking for an event planner with knowledge and experience, then Blue Moon Event Planning is a great option. If you’re looking for an event planner that has knowledge and experience coupled with care and compassion, than Blue Moon is the only option!

Alicia Sent on 09/18/2016My wife and I hired Melissa, the owner of Blue Moon, a year ago to aid us in planning our wedding, which took place two weeks ago in Long Beach, at the Shoreline Aquatic Park. Melissa has an extensive background in event planning and has executed events at the Queen Mary. With her background we knew she would be a perfect fit to assist us in the massive task of planning a wedding at a location that had yet to see a wedding. Our wedding was a same sex wedding.
Melissa's pricing was fair and well worth her talent in planning and executing events. She also had several referrals for us, such as security, port-o-potties, catering, and rentals. Her knowledge of planning events was very helpful, as my wife and I had never planned a wedding that had so many elements to it.
Melissa assisted us in creating spreads seats for timelines, vendor contact information, and maps for all of our rentals. She reached out to several of our vendors and kept in contact with them throughout the whole process so that we were able to enjoy the whole wedding process, without being completely overwhelmed.
On the day of the wedding she executed and coordinated our event perfectly by ensuring that all vendors arrived to the event and were set up in their proper spaces at the outdoor location. She also coordinated our bridal party queue, which was very helpful so my then fiancé and I didn't run into each other before walking down the aisle.
I would definitely recommend Blue Moon Event Planning and would give Melissa Buffaloe's company a 10 star if I could! She is professional, friendly, helpful, and is just fabulous at what she does! -
User2444683 Sent on 11/27/2015Working with Melissa at Blue Moon Event Planning was a wonderful experience. She was my day of coordinator and greatly exceeded all my expectations. I was planning my wedding from out of state while traveling full time for work, and Melissa made communicating with her so easy. She was available via email, phone, text, and even skype when I needed her! I also had MAJOR wrenches thrown into my plans literally days before my wedding (my venue double booked my space with another event) and Melissa helped adjust the plans and then carried out the new vision with very little instruction from me. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything because she had everything under control. The day of my wedding she (and her assistant Alex) kept things moving and set up my reception space quickly and beautifully. I feel so very fortunate to have hired Melissa and Blue Moon Event Planning. I know that without them, my wedding day would have been extremely stressful, way less fun, and a lot less beautiful. I would definitely recommend this company to any of my friends.Blue Moon Event Planning's reply:
Thank YOU! It was all my pleasure and certainly kept me on my toes with the changes in plan and quick turnaround! :) I'm so glad to be a part of it. All the best to you both! -
User2107119 Sent on 04/23/2015Melissa was a phenomenal help through the entire process. We got the Over The Moon Package and having no idea where to start, she guided us from start to finish keeping track of all the details. She handled the small hiccups very well, we had NO clue any of if was happening! We could not recommend her enough. Thank you!!!
