LOVE NOTES

M + J | Desert Island Country Club | 5.3.25

Melissa is INCREDIBLE! We hired Melissa for month of coordination for our May wedding in Palm Springs at Desert Island and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Melissa is kind, thoughtful, proactive, and is clearly very experienced at what she does. She created an impeccable schedule for our wedding and didn't miss a single detail. On top of this she coordinated all the logistics with each of our other vendors the month before our wedding. As an aside, Melissa shared an amazing vendor recommendation list with us where we found the majority of our other vendors who were also just FAB.

On the day of our wedding, Melissa was an absolute superstar. She kept all the trains running, adjusted things when needed, and seamlessly executed the day we had been planning and dreaming about for so long. She took the stress out of the day for us because we knew she absolutely had everything under control. I am so grateful for everything Melissa did to make our dream wedding come to life. I full heartedly 100/10 recommend hiring Melissa if you're looking for an amazing coordinator!

Where do we even start?! Melissa and her team at Blue Moon Event Planning went above and beyond to make our day everything we could have dreamed and more!

Our wedding ceremony and reception both ran so smoothly, and we are so grateful that we were able to just enjoy our day with all of our friends and loved ones. From her down-to-earth vibes to the EXTREMELY helpful timelines and checklists leading up to the day, Melissa remained true to our vision. We HIGHLY recommend Blue Moon Event Planning. Thank you so much to this amazing team.

It's hard to express how little we had to use our brains on the day of our wedding. Melissa and Blue Moon took care of absolutely everything and all we had to do was have an unforgettable day. Things went so smoothly, I still can't believe it.

Melissa, from the get, was super easy to work with. She is nice, communicative, and of course professional. As a queer couple, we felt very well taken care of and celebrated by Melissa. She helped build and coordinate a wedding far superior to anything we had ever dreamed and we are so thankful for all her work!!!

Melissa was such a needed asset for our wedding last month! …I can't imagine pulling our wedding day off without her… From our first call, we knew we would be in great hands with Melissa. She herself is super organized and knowledgeable with her timelines, vendor recommendations, documents, lists, etc. But she's also super chill and easy to work with.

She took care of vital communication with vendors, picked up our cake, put on boutonnieres, created a comprehensive timeline of the day, decorated the reception and cocktail hour rooms, wrangled up our wedding party when needed, and more. She did all of this with smiles, positivity and such confidence.

Thank you, Melissa and team for contributing to our beautiful wedding day!

My partner and I got married this past May, and we hired Blue Moon Event Planning to help coordinate our wedding. Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was supportive and there for us every step of the way. Day-of, Melissa was absolutely delightful and made Dan and I feel extremely calm. I'm a Type-A person with extremely high expectations, and I felt completely at ease with leaving everything to Melissa. It was perfect. Truly, if you're wondering about who you should have coordinate your wedding, look no further: Melissa is your person!

I would recommend Blue Moon twenty times over. We encountered a few major hiccups on our marriage journey; first there was the COVID delay and our original venue closing it's doors. Melissa was so thorough, and responsive and focused on finding solutions. There were times when I found myself feeling blue and wondering if it was ever going to work out (first world problems, I know), but every call/email/text from her would come with her beautiful energy and would revive my excitement for our big day. She also connected us with the most amazing and accommodating vendors we could have ever asked for. And she did all this basically on her own since we live on the other side of the country. The day of was beautiful, and she made sure I never felt a single bit of stress and got to fully enjoy all my guests, the food and the music.

After working with Melissa on the party, my partners 40th Birthday surprise, I knew I didn't have to look for a wedding planner because I had the best one in town! …Everyone kept saying it was the best wedding they ever attended, which was a big deal because our family members just had many weddings back-to-back. I owe that feedback to Melissa for pulling our vision together. If you are contemplating contacting her, go for it! …With Melissa at the wheel you will have more time to visit with friends/family, relax, and enjoy the entertainment/drinks that you paid for! Sounds like the best investment possible. Lastly, I will like to add that the biggest compliment someone is able to receive is wether or not you'd hire them again, and I would hire Melissa again. In fact, I did hire her again by having her plan the wedding! Thank you again Melissa for making our dream wedding a reality. I look forward to having you plan my next event.

Melissa is amazing! While we primarily hired Melissa as a day-of wedding coordinator, she was in constant contact with us throughout the entire wedding planning process via phone and e-mail. Melissa was especially helpful during the final month prior to our wedding; she helped us finalize timelines, confirm vendors, run rehearsal, and of course bring it all together the day of the event. There are so many little details we hadn't even thought of that she walked us through and helped us sort out. Her final timeline was a true work of art, as evidenced by the many compliments received from our wedding party and vendors, who all received a copy... The day of our wedding couldn't have gone more smoothly. We were relaxed the entire time and had a total blast. We had no hiccups, and it really felt like we just showed up at the wedding and every other detail had already been taken care of, allowing us to have the time of our life. We were extremely pleased with the level and quality of service we received from Melissa. If you are looking for a consummate professional that enjoys her job and does it expertly, I strongly recommend Melissa for your wedding coordinator needs!

Working with Melissa at Blue Moon Event Planning was a wonderful experience. She was my day of coordinator and greatly exceeded all my expectations. I was planning my wedding from out of state while traveling full time for work, and Melissa made communicating with her so easy. She was available via email, phone, text, and even skype when I needed her! I also had MAJOR wrenches thrown into my plans literally days before my wedding (my venue double booked my space with another event) and Melissa helped adjust the plans and then carried out the new vision with very little instruction from me. I felt like I didn't have to worry about anything because she had everything under control. The day of my wedding she kept things moving and set up my reception space quickly and beautifully. I feel so very fortunate to have hired Melissa and Blue Moon Event Planning. I know that without them, my wedding day would have been extremely stressful, way less fun, and a lot less beautiful. I would definitely recommend this company to any of my friends.
