Melissa was INCREDIBLE. She was so organized and has so much experience so she truly did not miss one detail. Her calm yet efficient demeanor took away all of my worries. We knew we were taken care of and always felt valued. I knew I could reach out and ask her anything during the planning process and she would always respond in a timely manner, if not right away. We would not have enjoyed our wedding as much without Melissa and her team. I am so happy we went with Melissa as our planner!” –Makensie B.

“I could go on and on for days about how wonderful Melissa was. I was just married in November, and Melissa was nothing less than a God send. She was so full of knowledge, professional, and always available. Whenever I texted called or emailed, I would have a response almost right away. Even though she was only hired for the month before my wedding, she went above and beyond and was such a huge help and resource for many months before the wedding, including multiple coffee dates just so I could pick her brain. Down to the night before and the morning of the Wedding, she was helping and making sure everything was perfect. She went as far as to assemble all my place cards and table numbers! I almost wish I could do it all again, just to have the pleasure of working with her. My mom, extended family and bridesmaids all adored her too, which lets be honest, their opinion matters just as much. Thank you Melissa for being absolutely perfect!!!!!” –Alexandra and Paul Abdelsayed

Melissa was beyond amazing in ensuring that our wedding was absolutely flawless. Despite the craziness caused by a rodeo across the street from the ceremony, Melissa helped keep us calm and advised us on our options to help prevent our wedding from being affected. She managed to push back our ceremony, worked with our venue and venders to push back our entire timeline and was able to get many of the venders to extend their time past our contract to make up for the changes. Melissa didn't let any of our last minute changes, or late responses with necessary info (some of which we never even gave her) affect her ability to make our wedding appear seamless. If there were any problem that occurred during our wedding we would never have known because Melissa handled it all. I hate to think how we would have managed to pull off our wedding without Melissa. She is an absolute gem and an incredibly gifted event coordinator. We are beyond thrilled with everything she did in such a short amount of time and are truly grateful for her expertise. Thank you for helping make our wedding more perfect than we could ever hope.” –Lauren B.

“Melissa was an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process - she kept us on track and was excellent in communicating with the various vendors and contacts. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Simply Sweet made our wedding planning EASY; they handled everything while still allowing us to be a part of the fun, creative process! If anything they fostered that process and in doing so helped us create our dream wedding. Melissa had all of our key contacts, and had everything staged perfectly. The day of the wedding was absolutely flawless!!! No exaggeration. It was unbelievable to be able to know all of the moving parts going on behind the scenes, seeing them coming to fruition, but never really seeing the team or feel like they were even there. Everything ran so smoothly! Thanks to Simply Sweet, we planned our dream wedding and HAD a dream wedding. It was above and beyond my expectations. I DEFINITELY recommend going with Simply Sweet Wedding. I promise it is worth every penny!!! The outcome was priceless!!” –Valen

Throughout the entire planning process, Melissa was extremely responsive, organized, and made you feel like your wedding was the only one she was working on or cared about. She is one of the kindest women and has a positive attitude to make you always feel at ease. I have to say I didn't once feel stressed about planning because I knew everything was in good hands.

Melissa and her team were worth every penny and if I ever have to plan a large event in the future they are at the top of my list!

THANK YOU again for all your hard work and planning one of the best days of my life!

Tammi, Mother of the Groom

I can honestly say that there are no words to describe how irreplaceable Melissa and her team were for our son's wedding on Saturday.

We threw our daughter's wedding 7 years ago and how I wish we would have known about Melissa then.

Every detail was taken care of by either her or her staff, under Melissa's direction. Melissa worked diligently with each and every vendor making sure that everything went extremely smoothly, which it did.

Whenever there was a situation that may have come up, Melissa had a solution. Her calm, loving, patient, kind, compassionate and talented demeanor was a gift to all of us, especially the bride and groom.

If you are thinking you can handle all this on your own, and you've got this, I'd say you might want to rethink it...

Hands down Melissa was worth every penny and more for what they did. They are worth their weight in gold.  

My husband and I have thrown numerous large parties, hosted huge holiday events, and thrown a wedding for 250 people at our home for our daughter. Hands down this wedding for our son, where Melissa was in charge was a dream come true.

I actually got teary when I was able to leave the venue at 12:30 am along with the last guests while leaving all that still had to be done up to Melissa, her team, and all the other vendors. I've never been able to walk away at the end of a party that we've been a part of throwing, while there was so much still to take care of and shut down. I was able to get on our shuttle back to our hotel with complete peace and joy in knowing that everything was taken care of. It was a beautiful thing to behold...

Peter, Swoop Transportation

I had the opportunity to work with Melissa and the Simply Sweet Weddings & Events team for a wedding at Saddlerock Ranch. As a vendor (Swoop - Wedding Transportation) it is refreshing to work with partners who are passionate and care deeply about every detail. We had several calls leading up to the event and we came up with a strategy that was beneficial to the client. Melissa and her team are customer-first, showcase a positive attitude, are well experienced, and best of all, are fun to be around! Additionally, the best part about Melissa and her team, there could be a thousand things happening at once, but they consistency stay calm, cool and collected.

Hi Melissa,

I wanted to thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding such an amazing and stress free experience! Please also extend my thanks to Mariah, who was so helpful with keeping us on time, and even doing hair for my bridesmaid.

We were so lucky to have such well organized vendors and to have you to keep them even more organized. 

All in all, the weekend was incredible and having you there allowed us to really enjoy each moment without worrying about anything.

Thanks!! –Tarini

Melissa, Simply Sweet Weddings & Events, was the best decision we made through this wedding journey.

The reason why we chose Melissa was very easy. We were immediately impressed by her knowledge and experience. Melissa, and the rest of the team brought our wedding vision to life.

On our wedding day, I had multiple compliments from our vendors and guests on how excellent Melissa was as well as her team. Melissa never worried us with the little things but would also keep us in the loop, which we appreciated. It was the best feeling to know that we didn't have to think about anything other than each other. As the bride, I really felt taken care of. She gave me time to really take the day in and relax.

Melissa truly is a gem and I recommend her highly.  Throughout the entire planning process, Melissa is thorough, attentive, and timely. She is very quick to respond to emails and texts and is detailed when responding to questions. On the wedding day itself, Melissa was fantastic. She orchestrated the event so well by ensuring that all vendors were properly directed, that the day was flowing timely and according to the timeline, and by making the day seem so effortless to myself and the guests. Melissa does so much behind the scenes in order to make the wedding go as smoothly as possible, and her efficiency is unmatched.  So many of my married friends warned me to expect hiccups, but I can say that we experienced none and our wedding went so smoothly all thanks to Melissa.  Throughout it all, Melissa keeps such a calming and comforting demeanor which kept me so relaxed. We are so appreciative of her time and effort. And again, I can't recommend Melissa enough.

Fran B, Mother of the Bride

Thank you, thank you, thank you, dears Melissa and Holly for helping to make our daughter's wedding so very lovely and simply sweet! In less than five weeks you managed to pull it all together, and kept everything and everyone on track and on time... we couldn't be more grateful!

You have our absolute highest recommendation! Much love and best wishes always

Evelyn, bride

Melissa is a sweet heart and she is simply the best and awesome.  Melissa went above and beyond what a day of coordinator would do. I often emailed Melissa for her advice and thoughts and she always offered her honest advice and opinion which I truly appreciate!  

Cindy, Bride

Melissa went above and beyond my expectations. She was available whenever I needed her and extremely detail oriented! Would recommend to any bride-to-be! Thank you Melissa for making our wedding go as smoothly as it did!!

Sarah, Bride

Melissa was the lead coordinator for our big day - and she was such an integral part from start to finish, I have no idea how we would have pulled it off without her! Our wedding took place in Laguna Beach, CA last weekend, she and her team went above and beyond.

From communicating with our vendors to helping calm our nerves by sending her team to our 'getting ready' location on the day of the event, I really felt like Melissa had it handled and my now-husband and our families could enjoy our wedding. Thank you so much to her and the team at Simply Sweet! Would HIGHLY recommend them.
