"Melissa,
words cannot express how incredibly thankful I am for all of your advice,
wisdom, support, diligence and grace during the planning and celebration
of our wedding. I'll never forget how soothing it felt to hear your calming
voice during a moment of panic...you are an angel! How wonderful it was
to know that I could truly count on you to make my dream wedding come
true. Every bride should be so lucky..."
Maggie Pepper, Bride - Boston, Massachusetts

"Thank
you very, very much for organising our wedding. It was absolutely fabulous
and my family still talks about it today! The château staff was
so friendly and polite...the pictures the photographer took were absolutely
amazing...the musicians were just what I hoped for...the catering was
fantastic and the food was flawless. I am sooo happy, I never expected
something like this…there was a laid back atmosphere but yet everything
was so elegant. There is absolutely nothing I would change and I am really
grateful to have found you. Again many, many thanks Melissa."

"Robyn's wedding was as perfect as I could have imagined, and the château
was more beautiful than I had dreamed. There were so many details that
I hadn't anticipated, and you took care of them all with a calm and steady
hand. Working with all of us certainly drew you into many directions,
yet you never lost sight of making Robyn's wishes the primary objective.
Your relationship with Robyn was the making of the wedding - I have never
seen her so happy. You have a gift and have certainly chosen the right
profession. Thank you for making Robyn's wedding dreams come true!"

"Words
can not begin to describe our event. Everything went perfectly and the
things that didn't go to plan went even better. The entire experience
exceeded our expectations ten fold. The castle was wonderful and the hospitality
of the owners and the staff was simply inspiring. Thanks for absolutely
everything you did Melissa, we really appreciate all of your care and
concern."
Lisa Campbell and Kent Demaine, Bride and Groom - Los Angeles, California

"I
want to say a HUGE thank you to you and Albane for your assistance with
our beautiful wedding. It really was beyond our wildest dreams and still
to this day when we think about it our breaths are taken away...THE BEST
DAY OF OUR LIVES...our friends & family still talk about it like it
was a fairytale, fantasy...always calling it the most beautiful venue,
service, chapel, food...and the best party they've ever seen!! We can't
help feel a little smug!!"
Anna-Marie Scott, Bride - London, England
Wedding in Provence, France
"Brooke
and I wanted to express our gratitude for all of your great work before,
during, and after our wedding. Your knowledge of the region and the vendors
never ceased to amaze us and each of your recommendations worked out magnificently
- from the beautiful château to the caterer's wonderful food, from the
florist who provided exactly the flowers Brooke wanted to the excellent
memories provided by the photographer and videographer. Your planning
expertise was matched only by your seamless orchestration of the wedding
day, as you unobtrusively kept everything on schedule and running smoothly.
Thank you for a wedding so many of our guests have described as a fairy
tale."
Lars Olson, Groom - Bradenton, Florida
Wedding on the French Riviera
"Because
of you, I had a magical wedding, one that everyone who attended thoroughly
enjoyed and wrote that they will remember it as "Fete of the year" and
that it set new standards for style, taste and pure pleasure. My parents
had as hard a time coming back to earth as I did, so magical was the weekend.
And I feel so blessed to have had a wedding that was so special in essence,
spirit, look and feel. It was the most wonderful omen and benediction
for Michael and me and our marriage."
Monique Wise, Bride - New York, NY
Wedding in the Loire Valley, France
"Congratulations!
Bravo! Perfection! A living fantasy! The calmness, skill and professionalism
with which you orchestrated Rey's wedding in Italy will, undoubtedly,
guarantee your admission to the Wedding Planners Hall of Fame. As one
of our guests said in a thank you note, “I have never attended an event
this graciously and thoroughly done." Every one of your recommendations
was correct. Your competency and experience, your quiet and graceful manner
and your honesty and integrity were superb. Melissa, I cannot express,
adequately, our appreciation for giving us the memory that we will treasure
each day of our lives. You turned our dream into reality."
Bill Matthews, Father of the Bride - Atlanta, GA
Wedding in Rome, Italy
"Everything
was marvelous. An amazing weekend, and a perfect wedding. We had countless
guests tell us what a fairy tale it was, and how they had never seen anything
like it and would remember it forever (one funny quote - during the fireworks
one friend leaned over and said 'I won't be impressed unless the four
tenors come out to sing the finale!'). We thank you so much for all the
work you did to make it go so well - the memories will last forever!"
Brenna Born, Bride - Chicago, IL
Wedding in the Loire Valley, France
"We
had a fantastic time in France and really wouldn't have changed a single
thing. The whole experience was even better than we ever imagined. The
location, food, hospitality...everything was just so perfect. I must admit
we were a bit worried about organizing the whole wedding over the Internet
but in the end we both found it very, easy and stress free. My parents
were very overwhelmed with the whole experience and they look back now
thinking it was all a fairytale dream!"
Kate Noble, Bride - Cotswolds, England
Wedding in Provence, France
"I
just wanted to thank you for making our wedding such a fantastic event!
It was better than we ever expected and we'll always be grateful to you
for your help. Things flowed beautifully and I could not have had more
fun! We cannot wait to have you plan our next party in France (anniversary?).
Best wishes and thank you again a million times!"
Ivona and Andrew Peshek, Bride & Groom - Philadelphia, PA
Wedding in the Loire Valley, France
"You
have made this an unforgettable moment that Ingrid and I will remember
forever. The look in her eyes when she walked into the room will be one
that I will always look back on as one of the best moments in our lives.
Please pass on my sincere thanks to Albane for her work. Her choice
of flowers for the bouquet was outstanding. Her preparation of the room
was so magnificent, from the soft glow of the candles to the rose petals...all
gorgeous touches. The minister you introduced us to was such a pleasure
to work with, and the photographer was exceptionally accommodating and
very professional and very unobtrusive throughout the entire ceremony.
And what can be said about the room...it was perfect. The view from the
balcony was absolutely breathtaking, with the American Church steeple
to the Eiffel Tower in the background. So Melissa, once again I want
to thank you for the wonderful work that you put into this… On behalf
of Ingrid and me...Thank You!"
Paul Devarennes, Husband - British Columbia, Canada

was absolutely wonderful!! Everyone loved it...especially us!!! Albane
was great, very professional. The château was totally amazing,
even better than we expected and the owners were extremely nice and very
helpful. Anyway, I could go on and on and I am sure you hear wonderful
things from all your clients. We absolutely fell in love with Paris -
it's such a beautiful city, we didn't want to go back home. Thank you
so much for everything. It was a once in a lifetime experience."

the flowers were gorgeous... I could go on and on. It was so wonderful.
Thank you for everything."
Traci Baker, Bride - Los Angeles, CA
Wedding in Tuscany, Italy
"I
want to thank you for all you did to make our wedding a dream come true.
You are a class act, and as soon as we talked, I knew the wedding would
be perfect. And it was! Every person involved that you connected us with
was exactly what we needed and they worked so well with us. And then there
are the little things that you did that meant so much to me...I don't
know of any other wedding coordinator that would go to such lengths -
buying me a flat iron when mine melted in Paris, being a calm influence
when I needed it the most, and laughing with me when it got a little crazy...oh,
and working so well with my parents. They adore you....we all do, and
please know how much our guests were also impressed with your abilities.
I could go on and on...in fact I have written several drafts of a thank
you - it's difficult to express how much I appreciate you. Just know that
you helped create the fairy tale that every couple hopes for... and it
was above and beyond what we and our guests expected (especially the fireworks!).
Merci beaucoup...you are the simply the best!"
Robyn Buckley, Bride - Las Vegas, NV

you for all your help in Paris. I enjoyed the day so much -- I want another

really had an incredible time!"
Naomi Reese - Chicago, IL

"I
just wanted to also let you know how wonderful the wedding was. It far
exceeded our expectations and was a truly special day. The minister really
made the day especially touching and the photographer, videographer and
your choice of band was spot on. The chateau was superb when it came to
the wedding meal and helping throughout the day and we were extremely
appreciative that we chose them for the occasion. So thank you very much;
your knowledge of vendors and local talent really made the difference.
If you would like to use a recommendation from us, we would be more than
happy to do that."
Rupert Martin, Groom New York, NY
Wedding in the Loire Valley, France
"I
am Sarah's mother and I just wanted to get in touch to thank you for all
you did for Sarah and Olivier!! What a fabulous, fabulous time we had
in France and at the chateau!! The wedding was everything we expected
and more!! Sarah talked with her grandmother by phone that evening and
told her it exceeded even her expectations…and that’s saying something!!
Albane was just unbelievable - she was way ahead of us and anything we
had a question about, she was already on it!! The caretakers, florist,
caterers…everyone was so wonderful!! Sarah was SO happy and I think both
Sarah and Olivier were thrilled with it all. I know we were. Thanks to
you for putting it all together!"
Debbie Evans, Mother of the Bride - Illinois
