Chantilly Chic is a dream team!
From our first phone conversation with Melanie, we knew that Chantilly Chic was the wedding coordinator for us. She went over our options and we decided to go with the Event Management services given we had already started reaching out to several vendors on our own. Chantilly's Event Management appealed to us given we both would be busy with work in the months leading up to the wedding. We got matched up with Lori at Chantilly Chic, and she was wonderful! Every one of our vendors told us she was one of the most thorough and detailed coordinators they had worked with. Lori did a great job of putting together the finer details, and handling a lot of the minutia that we never would have thought of if we tried to forgo a coordinator. On the day of our wedding, Lori and her assistant worked seamlessly with the venue staff and our vendors to ensure that we could enjoy our day and not have to deal with any mishaps or headaches. Everything was handled smoothly. We would highly recommend Chantilly Chic to any couples that need wedding planning services.Chantilly Chic Celebrations's reply:
From Lori - Thank you so much for your kind words. It was so much fun working with you & Michael as we prepared for your big day. And, I enjoyed it even more after meeting your families and your wedding party! Thank you for trusting us to help you with all of the details. It was truly our pleasure.
From Mel - Thank you Olivia for your kind words. We appreciate your trust in us since the initial meeting and so glad you enjoyed Lori - she's truly one of the BEST - one I absolutely adore. I'm so happy she made your day stress free and memorable. Thank you so much for having us be apart of your day and for sharing all these gorgeous photos. -

Christina S. Sent on 02/04/2024Best decision ever!
Hiring Chantilly Chic Celebrations was my best wedding planning decision. Before I booked, I had a thorough phone meeting with Melanie. I had spoken to several other planners by that point and she stood out immediately. She was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the value in the services CCC offered. We booked coordination services and Lori was our lead planner. Lori has an amazing eye for detail, and really helped us stay on track to achieve the vision we wanted for our wedding day. Lori is also an excellent communicator who is proactive, level-headed, and resourceful…exactly what you would want in a wedding planner! She is also really nice and easy to work with, which goes a long way when you feel frazzled from wedding planning. The rehearsal and wedding day went perfectly. I had several members of my wedding party comment how organized and great Lori was. Her assistants were equally nice and prepared. We received a detailed timeline and knew just what to expect on the day of the wedding. Lori also made sure each of our vendors knew the plan and timeline for the day and confirmed all details, big and small, so there were no surprises or hiccups. On our wedding day, we had total confidence in Lori and her team. Thanks to the plan she organized and executed, we were able to just be present and enjoy the beauty of the long-awaited day. I am so happy with my experience working with CCC and Lori, and will sing their praises in the years to come to any friends and family planning a wedding! Book them - you will not regret it!Chantilly Chic Celebrations's reply:
From Lori - Christina, it was such a pleasure to work with you and Lee throughout the planning process and on your wedding day! Thank you for trusting us to help you execute and carry out all of the special details on your special day.
For Mel - Christinaaaaaa!!! Thank you sooo much for your kind words. From the initial consult, I adored you!!! It was a true honor to be apart of your day as assistant. I loved seeing all that you planned being brought to life on wedding day. Your family and group of friends were so lovely. We appreciate you hiring us for your day. We appreciate your trust in Lori - she's AMAZING!!! We appreciate you picking us - loved every moment of your day. XOXOXO -

Where to even begin!!! Melanie and the entire team at Chantilly Chic truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day magical!! Working with Melanie was amazing from the very start. She knows her stuff, and was so instrumental in guiding us through the unknowns of the wedding planning process. Her vendor connections and relationships were so helpful and she made the everything so much easier for us. We felt so comfortable with her steering our ship, and knew we would be taken care of!! She was amazing at making sure every single little detail was accounted for, and ensured that everything went so smoothly on wedding day. We truly felt so wonderful and lucky to have her with us throughout this journey!!Chantilly Chic Celebrations's reply:

EXCEPTIONAL!!! When my husband and I got engaged, the first thing I did was set out to find a wedding planner. Trust me, I did all the due diligence – I talked to many planners in the area, talked to my friends, wondered if it’s necessary – and I have to tell you, getting a wedding planner is a MUST and Chantilly Chic Celebrations are hands down THE BEST! I am forever grateful I found Melanie! She is an incredible person and a true expert in her field, she is so organized, professional and well-connected and made the wedding planning process incredibly easy. She knew the best vendors and had the best recommendations, and the wedding day was a BREEZE thanks to her and her team. We truly had the wedding of our dreams and we couldn’t have done it without her. THANK YOU MELANIE AND TEAM!!! -

If you are looking for a wedding coordinator whether it be day of or full planning please stop looking and hire Chantilly Chic now!! They are hands down one of the best in the business and I cannot say enough nice things about them. We hired Melanie for our Day of Coordination and she was beyond WONDERFUL!! She took the reigns from us about 8 weeks out and we did not have to worry about a single thing. She was able to corral all of our vendors and help our vision come to life! She is thorough, her attention to detail is beyond words, and above everything else you can tell she genuinely cares about you and the outcome of your big day. Without her I don't think our day would have gone as smoothly as it did!! We left not only feeling on top of the world but like we gained a new friend in the process :) From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank Melanie and her team enough for all that they did for us to make our dream day as special as it was! -

We could not have asked for better with Lori. Meg, and Crystal. From start to finish the experience was top notch. Every detail of our day was planned for and executed without flaw. Lori did SO much in the two months she worked with us. We could not imagine our day without her and her team. My wedding week was stress-free and that is 100% thanks to these ladies!! -

I cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with both Catie & Melanie. They both went above and beyond when it came to making sure that everything was as we envisioned our wedding to be. I was initially hesitant on hiring a wedding planner, since our venue provided a wedding coordinator, but I can't imagine not having Catie and Melanie's help. They were so precise and made sure everything was perfect! My sister was our "point of contact" the day of, and she continues to compliment how much they were on top of everything. I honestly don't know what I would do without their help- they are a must! :) -

We got married at Opal Sands and were referred to Melanie from the venue. We hired Melanie for a day of planner and design / decor help aka partial planning - and it was our best decision. My husband and I have very time consuming careers and really needed some assistance making our dream wedding come to light. I am overly detail orientated and clicked with Melanie. Melanie met with my mom and I monthly and went over items and helped bring my vision to design ! The day of was chaotic and Melanie definitely navigated it with determination and grace while they had to completely change ceremony and cocktail hour location in 20 mins due to bad weather. We cannot thank Melanie enough for all her vendor recommendations and help creating our dream wedding! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!!!! -

After we booked our venue the next thing we did was book a wedding planner and Chantilly Chic Celebrations was perfect! Working the night shift in the ER and having a time-involved job, Melanie with Chantilly Chic Celebrations helped me so much! They helped with time management, planning my design, scheduling, and vendors! She helped my dream design and many photos from Pinterest come to life! She helped a lot with flowers and scheduling throughout the day. Basically, it wouldn't have been the perfect day without her. My mom and I looked forward to our monthly meetings to review wedding information. Melanie is professional, organized, attends to detail, and has a lot of fun. Everyone at Chantilly Chic Celebrations LOVES their job and makes planning a wedding fun! She focuses on what's important for the bride & groom and gets to know them in order to help plan their perfect day. My wedding was almost a year ago and it was perfect! If you are thinking about booking Chantilly Chic Celebrations do it now!!!!! -

I chose the event management package, and Kaleigh was my lead planner. She was AMAZING! So organized, on top of it, and quickly felt like a good friend! She was soo helpful in coordinating all of my vendors for all things day-of, and when it came time to "let go" and stop worrying about my own wedding, I was SO happy I had her to take care of the last minute details and coordination! Melanie and her team are trustworthy and total experts at all things wedding planning!!! :) -

As an event planner myself it was really important to me to have a day of coordinator that really got with my vision was in Melanie and her team at chantilly chic celebrations did exactly that. They were incredible to work with and very accommodating when we had to postpone and then reduce the size of our wedding due to Covid they gave us all the confidence in the world going into our big day and I highly recommend them. -

Melanie from Chantilly Chic and her assistants by Kaleigh, Elaina and Ally were absolutely AMAZING. I know many may think you can do it yourself or have a friend help but let me advise you don't do it. Budget a planner in anyway you can because the peace of mind that Melanie and her staff will give you will be worth every penny of hiring her. The attention to details, attention to timelines, her organization skills were way above what I expected. They made sure that EVERYTHING ran smoothly and it DID. This was our second wedding in 9 months (2 daughters) and even though she did not due our previous wedding (which I HIGHLY regret not hiring her for that) she made sure that everything with this wedding went up and beyond our expectations. Her eye to details, layout and style is outstanding. You can't go wrong with hiring Melanie from Chantilly Chic. You will be amazed at her professionalism and the best part of it all is she is a hoot to have around. Funny and not stuffy... You will love her... -

We loved working with Chantilly Chic through our wedding. Sydney was so helpful during the stressful times. I can't begin to tell you how many questions she asked for items we had not even thought about. They also had a bunch of recommendations for other vendors to work with while we were planning from afar.
On the actual wedding day, Sydney made the process run seamlessly. I assume she fixed things that didn't go as planned, but she was so stealthy and on top of it, I never heard about any issues.
Chantilly Chic is the dream team you need for your wedding! -

Alex B. Sent on 02/03/2020Sydney and Melanie - a Dynamic Duo!
Melanie blew us away from the moment we had our first phone conversation! She was so personable, enthusiastic, and helpful. She took the time to really get to know us. She wanted to do whatever she could to help us get all the details right and match us with a planner that would best suit our needs. She's not just a coordinator, but a fabulous "match maker" because we could not have been happier to work with Sydney!
Sydney and Melanie are a dynamic duo, and their positivity and enthusiasm are contagious. We were also extremely impressed that Melanie took the time to be at many of our in-person meetings with Sydney. The two of them tackled every detail from the start, with loads of helpful recommendations and vendor referrals. They were also extremely organized and kept us on track throughout the planning. Sydney took care of every (and I mean every) detail of our wedding: finding linens; running the rehearsal; setting up our photo booth, place settings, seating chart, table displays, and more; keeping us on track time-wise; and of course coordinating continuously with all of our vendors!
Always just a phone call away, Sydney counteracted our constant indecisiveness, offering suggestions and support throughout the planning process. She also deftly handled all of the last minute hiccups with ease and insulated us from them. Sydney is also planning her own wedding, so she completely understands a bride's point of view which proved to be an extremely helpful quality.
On our wedding night Sydney and her assistant were wonderful! They constantly checked in on us, helped with whatever we asked of them, and even personally brought us drinks. Our wedding ran incredibly smoothly! All of our vendors arrived, set up, and performed exactly as we hoped. Not a single thing went wrong, and we have CCC to thank for that! They brought our vision to life and made our wedding night the best night of our lives!
We can't thank you enough!

My wife and I got married on January 11, 2020 and it was exactly as magical as people tell you it is. Melanie Barker at CCC had our backs from the beginning. Even though our contract started in November, when we signed in July she was there to help with any questions that we had for details and overall design. She also had PLENTY of vendor recommendations in her back pocket when we were in a rut. When it came to vendor relations, she was super easy to work with and was always very prepared, organized, and asked all the right questions. We were highly impressed with how much time she spent making sure she knew exactly what we wanted and how we envisioned our day, from the first minute of the day to clean up at the end of the night.
Having a wedding planner/coordinator was very important to us when we talked about our wedding. We both work full time and have very demanding jobs, 3 pets, and were planning a wedding an hour away from where we live. When we found Melanie, she made it very easy for us to update her and have our check in meetings while being remote and within our work schedules. It also helps that she is an awesome person and so bubbly. Even if we were on the phone late at night to get things done, it was enjoyable and we felt like she made the meetings as efficient as possible by asking the right questions and guiding the conversation.
The Day Of execution was wonderful and stress-free. Melanie was as prepared as we expected her to be, took control and had no problem being stern when necessary to ensure the day stayed to the timeline. She did a great job of coordinating everyone to make sure we didn’t see each other prior to the ceremony, per our request. IF we had to complain about something from the Day Of, it would be that we weren’t informed of a glass sign breaking (at the end of the night) and the cake being dropped (again at the end of the night). Neither of these things affected the day in any way, so I understand why she would have chosen not to tell us. I’m sure lots of brides would not want to know - I just happen to be one that would have. It was a real surprise to open our smooshed cake in the box at the end of the night hahaha. This is a very minute detail that shouldn’t take away from the job she did and the work she put in for us.
Chantilly Chic Celebrations/Melanie exceeded our expectations by extending information and assistance when it wasn’t required or in the contract. She really cares about your day and making sure that you get exactly what you want while also staying on budget.
If we ever get our vows renewed in Florida, Melanie will be our first call! ;)
Thank you so much for the effort you put in for us! We’d want to go back and do the night all over again - it was so perfect. -
