Kind Words
A few kind words and testimonials from my amazing clients!
"Melanie and I only had one in person meeting. We lived several states away but when we met I knew she had to be the one. From her bubbly personality, to our vision, timelines and attention to detail, she had to be the one. We had so many FaceTime calls with a plan each week to review what we needed to cover, this annoyed my now Husband (who was only on a few important ones) but I wouldn’t change a single part about it. The more communication we had the better the planning was, the calls were so easy, helpful and and every one was important.
We got married at Rockwood Lodge which is a beautiful blank slate but everything you needed to make a wedding happen there needed to come from outside vendors, in a busy wedding town, during covid times, with weddings pushed back and vendors booked out. But she made it happen!! And more seamlessly than I could have ever imagined. I know because I tried to start planning by myself and the emails and declines and price comparisons was all incredibly overwhelming (and I’m a planner). Melanie helped to source the most incredible wedding vendors and I cannot thank every single one of them enough. Each of our vendors came up to us and told us how wonderful our wedding planner had been to work with throughout the process and that’s an incredible achievement and well deserved! We had weather delays, we had wardrobe malfunctions, we had cell service challenges. Melanie and her team, resolved everything that came up in a timely and professional fashion. Melanie listened, truly listened to everything that I wanted. She made it happen and I’m forever grateful that she was a part of my favorite day ever. If I had to do it all over again, i wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Melanie!!" - Alyssa Russell, Bride 8-20-2022
“Melanie was incredible. I never thought about anything, Melanie covered every detail and went above and beyond. She is so easy and encouraging to work with. She put out fires I didn’t even know were happening and over communicated with every vendor so there was never a hiccup. My whole wedding party adored her. I could not have gotten married without her.” - Katie Wood, Bride 3-12-2021
"Hire Melanie for your wedding. That's all I have to say. This girl is amazing, she thinks of everything and provides the service every bride and groom think of on their wedding day. She made everything easy and seamless and was always around for us to hand things off to or bounce ideas off of. I work in the event industry myself and could not have been more pleased or honored to have Melanie as part of our day. Our friends, family and bridal party raved about her. She doesn't miss a beat and is hands down the best out there!" - Kara Happ, Bride 10-10-2021
“My experience with Melanie was one of the best I've ever had. She was helpful, friendly, amazingly talented, and always there for anything we needed. Our wedding was a tremendous success primarily because of her professionalism and willing to help! HIGHLY recommend Melanie - best of the best!!” - Diane Swift, Mother of the Groom 4-27-2019
“Working with you was such a pleasure and we are so thankful for you. Our day was truly magical and perfect and we are incredibly grateful for your role in making that possible. We appreciate your problem-solving and troubleshooting during the day - most of what went wrong was our fault (e.g. the wristbands - sorry!!) and you tackled each of them with grace, ease, and a smile. We also appreciated the small personal touches you added throughout the day - bringing us drinks, checking in to see if we needed anything, etc. You made us feel special and cared for from start to finish! Honestly, if anything went wrong, we didn't know about it and that is exactly how it should be. We really can't thank you enough! You did such an amazing and flawless job. So many people have commented on how gracious and hardworking you were throughout the entire weekend. And everyone continues to compliment how wonderful our wedding was. You are such an amazing woman and event coordinator, and we wish you so much success, happiness, and joy in your personal and professional lives.” -Sarah Fenninger, Bride, 10-6-2018
“THANK YOU SO MUCH!! We can't thank you enough for the fantastic job you did with coordination for our wedding. You were such a blessing to both of us and our families - your sweetness, your organization and your expertise were so wonderful to have as a part of our day! Seriously - you were amazing!! We had so many friends and family members telling us how great you were too, and we weren't surprised in the least. I'm so grateful that God put you in our path! :) I could write many paragraphs singing your praises and it would still never be enough... :)” -Jenna Tabelon, Bride, 06-10-2017
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You were the perfect coordinator for Jenna and Nathan's wedding. We cannot thank you enough!!! Everything was wonderful! You and Peggy did a fabulous job keeping everything on track including us! Perfect!” - Bonnie Weida, Mother of the Bride, 6-10-17
“Melanie was quite literally an answer to our prayers. She has a superhuman eye for detail, unending patience for the many roadbumps and constant changes, and a tirelessly sunny disposition. Melanie helped us to do the impossible -- relax and actually enjoy our wedding day! She also encouraged us numerous times throughout the planning process. We are so thankful for her prayers and her friendship. Melanie has a gift for humanizing the very stressful, task-oriented process of wedding planning. She is very knowledgeable about the entire wedding planning process and was able to streamline the endless number of decisions it seemed like we had to make. We could not recommend her more highly. We love you Melanie!” -Rachel Miao, Bride 4-15-2017
"The first annual Cru Gala was nothing short of incredible. Melanie left no stone unturned and delivered a night that exceeded what anyone thought a $50 formal ticket could cover in a major city like Philadelphia. The only problem I see is the future price Cru will have to hire Melanie at - the only way we'd be able to afford her kind of expertise and attention to detail is if she offers pro-bono planning! I would recommend Melanie's services to companies big and small, events simple and complex, with any price point. Melanie has shown time and time again that she is flexible, gracious, and such a positive person to work with." - Stephanie Virbitsky, Client & Guest, 12-10-2015
"My husband and I asked Melanie to coordinate our wedding in August 2015. Looking back, I do not know what we would have done without her. I asked her to come onboard after I had carefully planned a lot of the design details, but realized that I had no idea how to orchestrate everyone during the ceremony. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the flow of the ceremony; was courteous yet spoke with authority when managing the many vendors, speakers, and musicians that the ceremony required; and made me feel as though I could truly reallocate my attention towards enjoying the day and focusing on the lifelong vows that I was going to be making to my husband. I would recommend her to anyone who was in need of a bit of help on his or her wedding day!" - Alyssa Wood, Bride, 8-8-2015
"After months of painstakingly crafting our wedding day and being nose deep in every little detail, we knew we would need someone to orchestrate day-of so we could take a step back and enjoy. I was thinking we'd just need someone to keep us on schedule, but Melanie far surpassed all our expectations! The energy and confidence she brought to the day were fantastic. She knew the in's and out's of a wedding day so well, kept track of all the little details, and made sure we soaked up every little bit the beautiful day. She even had plates of food delivered to our hotel room so we wouldn't be hungry after the the whirlwind of a day! Although I've known and loved Melanie for a few years, my friends and family who met Melanie day-of felt comfortable with her and trusted her right away. People still comment to me about how friendly she was and how seamlessly she coordinated all the events of the day! I'm so thankful for the essential role she played for our wedding day and would hire her again in heartbeat." -Tori Clark- Bride 6-3-2015
