Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My whole career I’ve been in event planning and catering. I have been an event planner and day of coordinator since 2006 working with large sized parties. I fell into event planning by accident and now this is what I love to do. There's something about helping the host (mainly couple to be married) make the event a great success. Weddings should be memorable and joyful and that is what I make sure happens! It's what I do best. I had a career in events where I booked, planned and executed events. When it comes to brides and grooms, I understand how overwhelming everything can be as you start the planning process. My job is to help alleviate that stress and guide you to a fun and marvelous event. Cooking is my personal passion so I decided to branch out and cater to private events as well as planning. I like to come up with menus that fit to your taste. I grew up in a family where my parents hosted many parties and always made all the food. I believe that's been past on to me. I specialize in authentic Mexican cuisine. I love playing around with salsas and guacamoles but can do much more than appetizers. I’m great with American, Italian, Mediterranean cuisines. I’m always looking to expand my recipes. If you consider me for either coordinator or food caterer, I'm willing to meet with you and chat on your vision and execution for your private event. I request a 20 guest minimum for catering. I don't have a minimum for planning or coordinating events.

Working with Melissa is a dream come true! She is very professional from the start, but you will immediately be able to feel that she cares about your event. She takes the time to really listen to your needs and then helps to find the best way to make that happen. We spent a lot of time going over all the details, so on the day of the wedding we could truly just enjoy. Melissa traveled to Florida for our Wedding. She went above and beyond helping with every detail. She handled coordination of all vendors and service staff. She made sure that they knew what was expected of them and that the timeline was followed. But also allowed for any onsite adjustments to be made, as needed and conveyed them to other vendors. Our event was amazing and it wouldn't have been the same without Melissa!!!

It was a pleasure working with MelEvents for our 50th wedding anniversary party. Our guests loved the food and Melissa was very professional in the way she communicated with me during the planning stages. She served a meal of bbq brisket and three summer salads all made from scratch with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend MelEvents.

Mel was fantastic! She was the perfect solution for our Ann Arbor weekend. My extended family and I rented a house for the weekend of the Michigan Notre Dame game. We had 14 mouths to feed over two days and Mel took care of all our needs. She worked with me to customize a weekend menu. She accommodated our dietary needs since we had several vegans in the group, she delivered all the food on time, and even loaned us two coolers for the weekend. I can’t say enough about Mel’s professionalism and delicious food. With a large group of people it’s virtually impossible to eat out at restaurants, so we ate Mel’s food at our rental house instead!
