We could not have done this spectacular birthday party for our daughter without Rachael! We had a…read morefabulous at 14 birthday party for our daughter Emma at the Goggleworks in Reading. Our daughter wanted to have a "teen nightclub" themed dance party for her 14th birthday! At that age it's really challenging to find a venue for a great party that is safe and supervised, but also, crazy fun! Rachael helped us put together a party that was the "talk of the school" event! Everyone was buzzing about this party! Rachael, with the help of some other fantastic companies, like LEO party rentals, and BELLY caterers put together a very reasonably priced and very trendy dance party for Emma and her friends. It was so easy to plan, and even easier to sit back and enjoy the kids having a fantastic time! We couldn't have planned this terrific event without her! Rachael helped us coordinate with everyone. She sat down with me to brainstorm many times before the party, and took care of everything. The tiniest of details were covered! All of the event was kept within a very reasonable budget! We would also like to send a thank you out to the Goggleworks for their terrific, and very trendy "loft" like room, for the party location. The dj " DJ JG" John Gosselin was also a fantastic addition to the party! He knew exactly what music the kids wanted to hear. Everyone danced the entire night! Thank you Rachael for making this night so memorable for Emma, and us too! If your thinking of planning a party for your teenage daughter you should contact Rachael! She will really impress you!

So you know that scene in Cinderella where the Fairy Godmother waves her Magic Wand ***POOF***…read moreflawless gorgeous dress??? Meet Nancy. Your real like Fairy Godmother...the kicker is I'm just talking about the work she did on my Maid of Honor Dress!! Let me start by saying my phone call to Nancy started like this. "Hi, Nancy? Yes, I have a problem. I'm the MOH in a wedding which sort of just was decided today and the zipper is broken on the dress. And well the sleeves need removed and well...the wedding is in 30 days" At this point she was beyond kind but,also beyond busy. She was booked. After hearing the desperation in my voice and looking over her schedule she was amazing enough to work with my work schedule and fit me in the next day. She works from her home and has this fabulous dressing room off the side where you enter and you immediately feel like you know she is going to make it better. And that's what she did. She took a dress bridesmaid dress and made it perfect for me. Her attention to detail and eye for how something should look like and lay on the body is a true talent. She is amazing. I know when my time comes my gown is going to her and her only. She is worth every penny.

I was in a panic and called Nancy. Not only did Nancy see me on short notice (the next day on a Sunday) but she was the most kind, reassuring, and helpful seamstress ever. I was embarassed about my dress no longer fitting. Nancy reassured me, did a few snips and pinned certain areas and woila! I fit my dress again! I told her she was a miracle worker! Honestly I was so relieved Nancy was able to do my alterations in a weeks time. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and got to wear my dream dress thanks to this wonderful woman and her skilled hand!

100% would not recommend based on our family's experience. My sister was planning her wedding while…read morepregnant and was under a lot of stress throughout the process. She repeatedly expressed feeling like she was handling much of the planning responsibilities herself despite hiring a wedding planner. There were also questions directed to my sister regarding responsibilities such as steaming tablecloths, cleanup, and logistics for ice/cooler storage, which added confusion and additional stress because these were tasks she believed would be handled as part of the planning/coordinating services. Payment had been made in full by the end of April, and approximately 40 days before the wedding, services were withdrawn after a family member contacted her to ask for updates on the planning progress. Since then, communication regarding refunds and coordination during the transition to finding a replacement planner has been limited, which has made an already difficult situation more stressful. Overall, this experience did not meet expectations, especially given the timing so close to the wedding. I tried posting this on her facebook to warn others and in return i was blocked.

Instead of taking the review and using it to better her business, she has blasted the guest all over her social media.

We got engaged in August 2010 and wanted to plan a summer wedding. We started looking for a…read morewedding planner late August/early September. I e-mailed a few people, and Melissa was the first one to get back to me. We were married in July 2011 and worked extensively with Melissa and her assistant Katie. At our first meeting I was unsure if a wedding planner was really necessary. We live in Maryland and were having our wedding near my family in Lancaster County. After we spoke with Melissa and Katie it was clear we needed a wedding planner. We didn't quite realize everything that went into planning a wedding, and were confident that they were the people to help us. Melissa helped us find a venue and all of our vendors. She also negotiated between us and the vendors and negotiated our contracts. Trust me- you need Melissa. The last thing you want to do is negotiate contracts before your big day. Since we live out of state Melissa also gave us a few suggestions for vendors and coordinated meetings. We wanted vendors who loved their job and were good at it, and Melissa found us those people. We never would have found those quality vendors if we hadn't been working with Melissa. She also helped us find vendors that were better and cheaper than the most expensive vendors. She knew exactly where to go from flowers to cake to buying a dress to getting the dress altered! Melissa and Katie made the lead up to the wedding and the wedding day run smoothly. Her and Katie answered e-mails quickly and they received many e-mails from me regarding anxieties about the big day and our plans. They made sure our wedding day was stress free. We had such a great time that we are ready to do it all over again next year. I would recommend working with Melissa for a small wedding to a big wedding to an upcoming event. She knows the right people, and is good at what she does.

By the day of the wedding, we had so much trust in her that we could rest assured knowing everything would be okay - it freed us up to just enjoy our day without anxiety about logistics - we knew we could count on Melissa. She truly cares about the weddings she plans and the couples she works with. She knows and has good relationships with top-notch local vendors, which is super helpful throughout the planning process. She also is a strong advocate for her couples and is really skilled at resolving any issues that come up with vendors. She is very detail oriented, punctual, practical, and on top of her emails and deadlines. She is also a really gentle, sweet person who is an absolute joy to work with. Melissa is a really calming presence too and was very supportive throughout our wedding planning process. She really got to know us and was able to give ideas/suggestions that we loved for our wedding that matched our personalities and preferences. During the week leading up to our wedding, we had an unforeseen change of plans and Melissa communicated with all of our vendors, reorganized our wedding timeline and worked this out with all of vendors, all basically behind the scenes to us and with no added stress on our part. Everything she coordinated and planned was taken care of - nothing fell through the cracks. If you're an anxious couple or tend to worry about worst-case scenarios, Melissa and Stylish Occasions is perfect for you - working with her and knowing the type of person she is will remove all this anxiety. We planned our wedding from out of state and she was super flexible with doing teleconferences with us and vendors when needed instead of meetings. She also helped us figure out which meetings were truly important to do in person. She helped us navigate innumerable wedding decisions and weighed in with her extensive experience when we weren't sure what to do. The best decision we made without a doubt was to hire Melissa as our planner. There is no way we could've had the wedding we did without her expertise and help. We are so incredibly grateful to her and are so thankful we got to know her. She's an excellent planner and a beautiful person to know.
