"Melissa was absolutely amazing and made our wedding day run so smoothly. She had incredible attention to detail, great communication with all of our vendors, and amazing organization skills! Our vendors personally told us that Melissa was great and made everything operate with ease during the planning phase. Our whole wedding weekend was stress free, and so much fun with Melissa taking care of all of the major details and flow of the day. Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation: thank you Melissa and team!"
