"As a couple from the states, the idea of planning a wedding in Banff was daunting- luckily for us, that’s where Mel and her team came in. From our first call, we knew her and her team were the right fit. She understood our need and want to have a wedding that didn’t feel like a wedding- but felt like US! From a murder mystery rehearsal dinner, to renting out a coffee shop for our guests, to a dog themed brunch- Mel and her team made sure every detail we wanted were executed to perfection. Mel helped every step of the way, from walking through silly steps of our timeline I didn’t understand, to calming my nerves before walking down the aisle- she is truly not only an amazing planner, but someone we now consider a friend. If you are looking for someone who will value your wants and needs on your special day, who will hear you and go to bat for you when necessary, Mel is the right choice for you!"
