About
Hi, I’m Melanie, owner of Memorable Events by Mel. I bring over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry to every event I work on. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management from Johnson & Wales University, and my career has been built around service excellence, organization, and creating thoughtful, well executed guest experiences. My background includes nine years working high end weddings and private events at a luxury resort in San Diego, where attention to detail and guest experience were always the priority. After moving back home, I transitioned into Food and Beverage Management at a hotel and later into General Management within fine dining restaurants. While those roles strengthened my leadership, operational, and service management skills, my passion was always in the event space. That passion is what ultimately led me to create Memorable Events by Mel. Today, I bring that same level of professionalism, structure, and care to events throughout Northeast Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. Why Work With Me • Experience You Can Rely On With over 15 years in hospitality, I understand how events truly function behind the scenes. I anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and manage details so everything runs smoothly. • Personalized, Hands On Approach I work closely with my clients from the beginning. I enjoy sitting down for meetings, reviewing inspiration boards, and walking through logistics to ensure your event feels intentional, cohesive, and stress free. • Professional, Calm, and Organized Hospitality is not just my career, it’s what I genuinely love. Clients appreciate my calm presence, clear communication, and ability to manage moving parts without things feeling overwhelming. Services Offered • Bartending Services Weddings, private parties, graduations, showers, and special events. Professional dry hire bartending with a polished setup and smooth service flow. • Event Planning & Consultation Full service or partial planning support for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, birthday celebrations, and charity events. I assist with timelines, layouts, and overall event logistics. • Day Of Coordination & Event Management On site coordination to manage vendors, staffing, setup, timelines, and breakdown so your event runs seamlessly from start to finish. • Decor Support & Balloon Design Creative decor support including balloon installations and styling. I am happy to assist with design direction or connect you with trusted vendors to bring your vision to life. • Staffing & Vendor Coordination Coordination and management of bartenders, servers, and event staff to ensure consistent service and smooth execution. Pricing & Consultation My event services begin at a $400 minimum. Pricing is customized based on the type of event, guest count, and level of support needed. Consultations are complimentary, and after an initial conversation, I provide clear and accurate pricing tailored to your event. Let’s Bring Your Vision to Life I understand how overwhelming event planning can feel, especially when you’re balancing multiple decisions at once. My goal is to make the process feel organized, supported, and enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re ready to get started or have questions, I’d love to connect.

We recently hired Mel to bartend an evening with close friends at our home, and she was absolutely fantastic. She brought such great energy, kept everything running smoothly, and crafted some truly delicious drinks. The standout of the night was definitely her watermelon spicy margarita—fresh, balanced, and with just the right kick. Everyone was raving about it! Mel made the evening feel effortless, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future gatherings.

I'm so glad to have found Melanie to bartend for a surprise bday party for my husband.  Leading up to the event, she was very responsive and answered all of my many questions.  Day of, she and her mom were great, everyone enjoyed talking with them and the drinks got rave reviews.  Highly recommend and would definitely use Melanie for future events!
