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.

Our wedding would not have happened without Mel. We had a 50 person wedding in which Mel was not only the coordinator, but the person that planned, set up, tore down, announced, played music, literally everything. Mel did all of this without complaining even one time, not to mention, she did all of this herself. We did not realize how big the task was until the day of but she never once made us fear about it, even after seeing a uhaul full of decor. We were able to have a wedding that was not your typical wedding all because Mel helped us pull it off. Mel literally met with us for hours on the phone before hand and even made our decorations. When I tell you that you need to choose Mel, I truly mean that she will put her heart and soul into your day. She will treat the wedding like it’s her own with her time, care, and even getting upset with you when things don’t go your way and then continuing to fix them. Mel is simply the best. Her price was incredible. We cannot wait to continue using Mel for birthday parties, gender reveals, baby showers, etc. We truly created a friend!

I had the greatest time getting to plan my son’s 10th birthday with Mel. She is one of a kind. I wanted to have a stress free time planning this party because I’m usually just running around getting everything together I don’t get to actually enjoy the day. So I decided to hire a party planner and Mel was the first one I saw on Thumbtack her smile was inviting I instantly knew I wanted her to be my party planner the amount of greatness her profile had I wanted her. There is no doubt I made the right choice! My son’s party took a few months to plan and it was a smooth ride throughout. I told Mel what theme we wanted what I’d like the decorations to be and I had particular things to be apart of this party. Day of, I actually got to enjoy it! I got to interact with everybody I got to see my sons face light up throughout the whole event. Mel also blew me away with her creativity! She had everything we wanted and more things I didn’t know I wanted. Lol! She put her heart into this party and that’s what you need. You could tell she had fun doing it, she was in charge of everything she planned activities for the kids ( all ages) she had patience with everybody, and was just a plain joy to have around! My son loved his party, he has been talking about it all day. I just can’t thank Mel enough for the best day. She was just so helpful I will recommend her to everybody I know! I just loved her! I will most definitely be hiring her again! Thanks Mel don’t delete my number you’ll be hearing from me soon!!

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.
