Testimonials

"At the ever-important, decision-filled final month prior to our wedding, Melissa became invaluable in guiding us on track for the hundreds of decisions that come into play for the special day. She was incredibly responsive, supportive, and available anytime we had questions." - Whitney & Kevin, Scripps Seaside Forum

"MELISSA AND HER TEAM ARE IT! I can't say enough good things about her. I, the groom, worked with Melissa, without input from my wife, as I did not want her to stress about anything on our wedding day. Melissa successfully managed 23 vendors and there was not a thing missed on our wedding day." - Groom's testimonial, Scripps Seaside Forum
