Hi! I'm Melanie, and I'll be your wedding guru! Whether you're someone
who loves to plan but needs help with the vision, or maybe you have the
vision but hate to plan, we can help. Our wish for you is to free your mind of the details so you can be present and absorb every moment. Enjoy your day!
Melanie Oliver Events is all about ease. If you want a no-fuss laid back
wedding, I'm there for it. I want your wedding to reflect you. Many times I'll get asked, "what do people normally do?" in so and so situation, and
although I'll be happy to tell you, I ultimately will advise that you do
whatever your heart desires. It's your wedding. I also love to encourage my couples to get creative and inject a bit of their personalities into their
wedding. It doesn't need to be extravagant. It can be something
as subtle as a signature drink or maybe include your 4-legged friend in the wedding party!

Melanie did a fantastic job keeping things organized and running smoothly on our wedding day!! 10/10. She nailed it.
I was definitely in the “i’m not like a regular bride, I’m a cool bride” category ( we might actually be more difficult, sometimes being too chill is actually harder ) BUT Melanie kept the important things super organized and made sure I had plenty of say in every decision.
I didn’t know how much I needed a Melanie, but now that the wedding is over I can say with confidence my wedding would have been a hot mess without her and there’s NO WAY I could have enjoyed my day had she not been there.
I got to soak up every moment of wedding day bliss instead of worrying about operational stuff. I had multiple dance performances planned and she made sure everyone was ready! Including me!!
She was on time for every apt, she was professional, and she was patient. Highly recommended!!!

Melanie was extremely helpful with helping to coordinate our wedding. Melanie’s calming presence and positive demeanor eased our anxiety before and during our event. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner in planning our beautiful day.

I can't imagine my wedding without Melanie! I had no idea how important it is to have a wedding planner and after meeting with a few people I knew she was the one- she is very detailed and organized, and makes everything run so smooth. She anticipated all of my needs both in advance and especially day-of the wedding. She is a wonderful, kind, amazing human! Her energy also helped to make the day run smooth :)

It was a pleasure working with Melanie. We had her as our day of coordinator and she helped us tremendously with our timeline and organization. She had lots of great tips and knowledge which helped us with pivoting during unexpected events. She made sure to work within our budget and helped us with cost effective options especially on decor. During the reception, Harmony took over and did an excellent job, letting my husband and I know how the pacing looked while allowing us to enjoy our dinner. Overall, we were able to enjoy our day at a fairly stress free level for a wedding. We definitely recommend Melanie Oliver Events.

HIRE MELANIE. YOU WONT REGRET IT.
Hands down, one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding was hiring Melanie as our coordinator.
Melanie was punctual, organized, kind, personable, always had a smile on her face and she was such a pleasure to speak with on every phone call. I miss her just talking about her! She was on point with the timeline and always made sure we were doing okay. She made sure we had our drinks during family photos while the guest enjoyed cocktail hour. We did the premium package which covered welcome signs, table numbers, a cake stand, etc.. it was so worth it because the less I had to do, the better I can focus on other things.
Our wedding was a 10! and I cannot thank Melanie enough. Trust me when I say “SHE’S THE ONE!”
Thank you so much for the kind words, Marshana!!! Our chats WERE SO MUCH FUN! I miss you already, too! It was a pleasure getting to know you both. You're such a fun and lovely couple. I have no doubt your lives will be full of adventure and happiness!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have 3 wedding planning packages with rates beginning at $1,150. If the packages don't quite fit your needs, we'll be happy to customize something for you. For corporate events please contact me. Complimentary consultation and estimates by phone.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Here's what you can expect from Melanie Oliver Events...
Once you reach out to us here through Thumbtack you'll typically get a response within an hour if not sooner. Unless it's the middle of the night!
We'll try our best to answer your questions based on what you share with us in that first message, but we always prefer to schedule a call so we can learn more about the services you need. Although, if you prefer to handle everything electronically, we can do that too.
Next, we'll write up a proposal for you to review and lastly if you choose to move forward we write up a contract and schedule our first meeting together. Preferably at your venue so we can do a walk through at the same time.
All of that can take as quickly as a day or two depending on how many questions you may have. So don't worry. If you're in a rush, we can help you out! Hope to hear from you soon!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When it comes to weddings, even if you’re organized and love to plan the details, I recommend at the very least to have a day-of coordinator. Have you ever hosted anything in your home and found yourself not being able to enjoy it because you're running around doing everything. And that's just a small dinner party!
To have a successful event I would also advise booking us sooner than later. For a small corporate event, no less than 3 months before the event. For a larger event, no less than 6 months. The more time we have to work together, the better the turnout!
