We hired Melissa for our wedding in August 2024. Planning a wedding is stressful, but knowing that you have someone who is so experienced, and is there to ensure your exact vision is put to life, makes it less stressful!
Melissa and her team were professional, understanding, caring and exactly who you want on your wedding day (and leading up to it) to ensure everything runs smoothly. She responded to all my questions I pestered her with, very promptly (and there were lots!). She ensured I was comfortable each step along the way and made sure our every wish became reality.
Our wedding was so beautiful, it was beyond what we imagined. No detail was missed, she ensured we stayed on time, and communicated with us each step of the way. I also loved the checklist she provides of things that we needed to complete behind the scenes (i.e. when to make sure my dress alterations were complete). Melissa communicated with every vendor making sure everyone was on the same page, and so that we did not have to worry about a thing! My husband and I were able to relax, and enjoy our day knowing that each and every detail was expertly cared for.

If you need someone to lean on and trust, book Melissa.
Everyone says that one of the best things you can invest in for your wedding day is a planner or coordinator - and they are right. We had Melissa as our coordinator this past June, and I cannot sing her praises louder.
From the moment I first spoke with her to the end of the wedding night, both her and her team were on top of everything. Every single vendor email, detail, thought, and worry they handled with absolute grace. There were many points during planning that I found myself stressed, but knowing Melissa was in my corner put my mind at ease. The day of was no different - every bit ran smoothly and we were able to fully focus our attention on our guests, the experience, and each other.
Melissa, Emily, & Kiera - Thank you all again SO much. Our memory of our wedding will forever be perfect because of the effort each of you made.

Melissa Dawn Event Designs was hired for wedding management services for my May 2024 wedding.
Anyone who has been to Melissa's website or Instagram would know that she has a phenomenal design sense, but to compliment this, she is professional, responsive, and was great to work without throughout my planning process. I was planning the wedding at a distance, and she was always available to give advice, recommendations, or reassurance, particularly in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding.
The wedding was so beautiful, and it couldn't have been executed without the help of Melissa and her team. For anyone considering wedding planning or management services, I would highly recommend working with a professional like Melissa.

I could not imagine planning our wedding without the help of Melissa and her team. Having her as part of our day meant that we, our families, and our bridal parties could actually enjoy the day without the stress of meeting vendors, decorating, cleaning up, or managing the schedule. That peace of mind was truly priceless.
As a bride, all I ever heard was that wedding planning is stressful — but Melissa made my experience the exact opposite. Having her support throughout the entire process allowed me to fully enjoy my wedding planning era. Weddings come with countless logistics, and moving pieces, Melissa and her team handled every detail with professionalism and care — even minor dance floor incident.
Like many brides, I had a scattered collection of ideas from Instagram, Pinterest, and beyond. Melissa took all that inspiration and brought it to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. She added a creative and unique flair to every design element, all while staying true to the vision my husband and I had for our day.
When searching for a wedding designer and coordinator, I was told it’s essential to find someone who not only makes your day visually stunning but also ensures everything flows seamlessly. Melissa has truly mastered both. We've received countless compliments not only on how beautiful our wedding was but also on how thoughtfully and smoothly the day was scheduled — from both guests and vendors alike.
Melissa is creative, reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly talented at what she does. She doesn’t just design beautiful weddings — she creates experiences that reflect who you are as a couple. Working with Melissa Dawn Event Design was one of the best decisions we made, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for wedding or party design and coordination. You’ll be so glad she’s on your team.

Melissa is a party planning genius! She has repeatedly taken a vague idea I’ve given her for my children’s birthday parties and totally gone above and beyond to make it super special for them. She always thinks of the most special details to really pull the theme together and make the day a great memory. She works hard to stick to your budget and manages all the stress that comes with these big events, so you can just focus on the fun! Highly recommend and can’t wait for our next event together!
Lara Foster (☆ 5/5)

We were so happy with hiring Melissa as our wedding planner. She didn’t miss any details we communicated to her. She was organized, thorough, and made our dream day of a formal, timeless event come to life. It definitely made the planning experience more enjoyable/less stressful and allowed us to soak in the day … it goes by too fast but we could trust all the logistics and details were taken care of. Would highly recommend her services to be able to make the most of your event 🙂

What truly sets Melissa apart is her genuine care for each couple's vision and needs. She goes above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the wedding is perfect, creating a wonderful experience for everyone involved.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who is organized, caring, and a joy to work with, I highly recommend Melissa Dawn Events. Melissa's professionalism and passion for her work make her a standout in the industry.
