I contracted with Melva for wedding planning. Working with Melva is like a breath of fresh air. As a client of hers, I was at peace knowing that all things would fall into place, because, well Melva always has it covered! Above all, she’ll always do her best to advocate what’s right for the client. Her strong attention to detail, consistency, and client- first approach is what enables her to be so successful in her role. My multiple-day event was incredibly complicated but with Melva‘s support, my partner and I were able to navigate the complexity and nuances of the planning process. She made sure to keep us on track and in the loop at all the right stages so all deadlines were met. I had challenges with many vendors, but with Melva’s strong communication, detailed email follow-ups, and thoughtful guidance, we were able to push things forward. I had been overwhelmed with all the decisions but Melva’s thoughtfulness and streamlined communications made it easy. Melva creates clarity and structure out of chaos.
