  • “Melissa is truly exceptional at her job! She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and timely. As an out-of-town bride with a hectic schedule, I felt so secure in my plans because Melissa never missed a beat! She never missed a follow-up, and even handled meetings without me. You often hear horror stories of planners dropping the ball, and my experience has been the farthest thing from that. I am sure that there are many great planners in Michigan, but I believe that Melissa is the best of the best. Her attention to detail is exactly what every bride needs to build out and have successful day. She listens to what you want, helps guide you when needed, and makes sure your vendors adhere to your vision. One of the best choices I made for my wedding was hiring Melissa.”

  • "We hired Melissa for our April wedding and it was the best decision we had made! She went above and beyond every expectation. She was organized, thorough, calm, personable, and everything you need leading up to and on your wedding day. Leading up to the day, she offered suggestions, made sure items were being crossed off little by little, and reached out to vendors. Timelines were created, messages were sent and designs were planned meticulously. The day of she executed all day of items at the venue, including pulling off a ceremony just missing the rain with towels in hand wiping every chair and soaking up the aisle puddles. It was a stress free day because of her and we could not have pulled it off without her, it was perfectly orchestrated!
