Events by Missy & Co

I am so glad that I hired Melisssa @Events by MIssy as my wedding coordinator! At first I wasn't going to hire one, since I had already picked my venue and didn't want to spend extra money on wedding planning. As time went by, I realized I really could use an expert opinion and someone to look out for me on the actual wedding day. Melissa came to meet with me before I even signed with her. She talked over ideas and gave me tons of valuable information. I could see what a responsible and sharp-minded person she was - just the kind of person I would want handling things for me.I used all of her recommendations and advice with my wedding vendors (makeup and hair, DJ, rentals). Sometimes I was uncertain about some vendors, but I trusted Melissa's opinions and it worked out. Moments I was ESPECIALLY glad I hired Melissa: 1. During the wedding rehearsal, she made all of mine & my husband's family feel comfortable2. During the ceremony, when my mom and mother in law couldn't light the candles, and Melissa stepped in and got the lighter working.3. After the ceremony, when she stepped up to me with a big smile and said, "You did it!!"4. At the end of the night, when she toasted me and paul with our fav champagne...she had picked up just because she's THAT nice.I definitely recommend Melissa from Events by Missy to anyone who wants an intelligent, capable planner. AND I also must give her staff a hand as well, they were well organized and so helpful with our guests questions!

One word - AMAZING! I called Melissa a year before my wedding, when I had started planning but became completely overwhelmed. All we had picked was the venue. She was fabulous! We hired her for the full event planning and it was the BEST money we spent! From finding us the perfect photographer, florist, hair and makeup artist, to setting up all of our DIY projects that day, she did everything we needed. I am also a huge proponent of customer service and responsiveness, and I have never had someone respond so quickly to all of my millions of emails - calming me down when things became stressful or just hearing me out when I needed to vent about something. On our wedding day, Melissa handled everything so we had zero stress. It was perfect because of her and I cannot thank her enough. Melissa is creative, professional, organized, efficient, and a true pleasure to work with!

If you are in need of a planner, I would highly recommend using Missy & Co! My Husband and I hired Missy & Co for our October 15, 2011 wedding and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome.From our first meeting to after the wedding she was there for all of our needs, whether it was finding a vendor, making sure our wedding party knew what to do or just being there when a question arose.Melissa was extremely responsive in all of our correspondences (which is always appreciated when planning a wedding) and was very professional as well. She made the day before the wedding and the day of the wedding so easy and we were able to enjoy our special day with no worries.If you are in need of a wedding planner, Missy & Co is the way to go!

Events by Missy exceeded my expectations for Day of Coordination. Melissa was organized, helpful, kind, and smart! My wedding would not have run as smoothly if not for her expertise and finesse.

What can I say about Melissa Fife and her team besides totally awesome! We hired Melissa for full service planning assistance for our wedding but she provided soooo much more; friendly advise, a shoulder to cry on when I was stressed and genuine excitement about our wedding. From the smallest detail to the largest tasks, melissa was on it, always reminded us of our to-do list items that needed to be completed and to always remember that the wedding was about us and the love we shared, to always keep that the main focus, even when things got crazy :) On our wedding day Melissa kept me calm, put our some small logistical fires and assisted in keeping the wedding on schedule. I would advise any bride thinking about using a planner to hire Melissa and Events by Missy; hands down the best planner ever!!

Melissa was fantastic. Extremely professional and well organized. I couldn’t have made it through the day without her.

The best decision we made was to hire Melissa to be our wedding planner and Day-Of Coordinator for our October 2, 2010 wedding at Catlin Gardens. Melissa is incredibly organized and knowledgeable and motivated. Her wonderful and helpful attitude put all my worries and stress at ease. I don't know what I would have done without her during the planning process and at the event! She put in so much time and effort leading up to the big day and she was at the venue for nearly 12 hours the day of the wedding. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone. We're very grateful for having met & worked with Melissa!

We got married at Bear Mountain in New York and realized just a few weeks before the wedding that we could not do it all. We had too many details and DIY projects that needed to be executed so we needed to find some help. Andy found Melissa through an online search of wedding wire and we met with her soon after. She was completely accommodating and she loved all of our ideas and plans...she also threw in her own ideas and helped us make decisions and think about details that we would not have thought about otherwise. She could see what we wanted very clearly and she helped us finally feel at ease that everything would come together perfectly. On the day of the wedding, I was stressed by nature but there came a point (once the gown was on!) that I had to let go and trust that everyone would do what they had to do. Melissa came through with flying colors. I stopped in before I got dressed and she was calm as can be - she assured me that everything would be great, she asked me a few questions that I had left unanswered, and she left me feeling great. We arrived at the venue after taking loads of pictures by the lake and everything was clearly set and in place, from baskets of tissues and programs to placecards and photo booth accessories. We had a lot of vendors including live music, a deejay, a magician, a balloon twister (for the kids), etc. and Melissa made sure that every one of them was on time and where they needed to be. She stayed through to the end of the evening, making sure the schedule ran on time and that all of the details were executed. She truly could not have been more amazing. When we were on our honeymoon in Spain, we were talking about the whole event and everything that happened - we both agreed that we could not have pulled it off without Melissa's help and support on the day of and for the month leading up to the wedding. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is planning their wedding as a great source of support and someone who can be trusted with every detail.

We worked with Melissa for our wedding this past month and chose the month-0f-coordination package. From the moment we met her, we knew that she was going to make the wedding great! Melissa was friendly, organized, helpful, resourceful and full of great ideas. Even though we didn’t have a full planning package, we were able to email her with questions right away and ask for vendor references. Because of Melissa, we were able to assemble a great team of vendors on our wedding day - we loved each and every one of them! In terms of the wedding day itself, she executed everything flawlessly. If something went wrong, I didn't hear about it! We really appreciated how she was able to oversee everything so efficiently. Melissa made our wedding day go by without a hitch. We trusted her with all the details (and lots of big things too) and everything looked great! We would definitely recommend Events by Missy! Thank you melissa for all our help! Jenn D.

She is very organized and wonderful to work with. We loved having Melissa!!! We could not have done it without her.

Melissa helped me through out my wedding planning process and I must say that without her I don't know what I would of done! She was always fast in responding to my emails or phone calls, and any question I had she was always there to help me and answer them. She was my day of coordinator and everyone loved her! I'm soooo happy we had her that day because I would of gone crazy if she wasn't. She made sure everything and everyone was under control, and my day couldn't have been more perfect thanks to her! She's absolutely the best!"Thank you for making my day very memorable,Chantha Jackson

I am so grateful to Melissa and her staff for their outstanding services and support. My wedding was perfect! I could not have done it alone. Yes..i was a "bridezilla" to a degree but I was not treated like Ms. Crazy..haha. Thanks guys! My special day would have never been so pulled together without the help of my "angel" wedding coordinator, Melissa. I highly recommend them for your special day. Thanks, again, for being a part of a fabulous day I will never forget!Valarie Rovira
