Since I'm Vietnamese American, it was important to me to also hire a Vietnamese American coordinator who could understand any underlying cultural dynamics and be able to communicate with my side of the family, so Mellie Bee had been in the back of my mind for years even before I got engaged. Melissa put me at ease during our initial consultation and I appreciated her honesty about what services we would practically and realistically need, which is why I moved forward with booking. Leading up to the day, I knew we were in good hands. Melissa and her team worked with us to put together a meticulous wedding day timeline and master checklist, combing through every single detail and trying to account for any potential friction points and setbacks. During the rehearsal and on the day, Melissa was always checking in on us, letting us know we were being taken care of, and making sure to stay on top of everything. We had a few hiccups throughout the day that sometimes verged on panic-inducing, but Melissa and her team kept us calm and smoothed things over every step of the way. We loved the energy and enthusiasm they all brought, and they really helped our wedding be a fun and memorable experience that wasn't overcast by stress and mishaps. Having a professional by your side is a must for any big event, and we highly recommend Mellie Bee Events! Thank you so much for all your hard work, Melissa!

From creating the timeline down to the minute, communicating with our vendors leading up to the big day, to making sure we had a plate of hors d'oeuvres, water, and a drink at all times! Your wedding day flies by within a blink of an eye and something is bound to stray from original plans. Melissa, Thaolinh, and Emaly helped us set up, stay on time, and even helped me use the bathroom in my dress haha! Can't rate Melissa and her team enough. Thank you girls for everything!

*This review is based off their day of coordinator services and floral arrangements/decorations…read more We had the pleasure of working with Jaden, Espy, and Tammy, all of whom were amazing and very helpful. Our main concern on our wedding day was that we didn't want ourselves or our family and friends to do any work on our wedding day. We just wanted to focus on enjoying our big day without having to worry about the details and the behind the scenes action. Our team made that possible and we are forever grateful to them. Espy made sure we stayed on track with our timeline and that all our vendors were on the same page. Set up was done the way we specified and we were happy with the way everything turned out and looked. Everything was executed to perfection and we believe that it was due to our coordinating team. For our decorations, we wanted to go with something that reflected our personalities of being kind of nerdy and whimsical, but also keeping it classy so that our parents and older crowd could enjoy it without getting weirded out. We had a vision of having flowers arranged with Funko Pop figurines representing things we enjoyed in pop culture standing in the center of it. Our team was able to make beautiful centerpieces while pulling off our request. Their arrangements really did help set the mood of what we wanted our reception to be like. Overall, our team from KQ Elements helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be. We would recommend them to anyone needing awesome decor and/or coordinating services!

From the very…read morebeginning, they were incredibly supportive, organized and genuinely excited to bring our vision to life. We planned our entire wedding in a short 3 month timeframe, which could have easily been overwhelming, but they made the whole process feel calm and even enjoyable! Our reception venue came with its own set of challenges since it was essentially just a blank room. Blaire, Hannah, and Sharon really stepped in and they guided us through every single detail, from layout and rentals to flow and timing. Toward the end of the planning process, we needed to make some last minute adjustments which could have been stressful so close to the wedding date. But Blaire truly went above and beyond, she stepped in and made sure everything was handled exactly the way we wanted. We couldn't have asked for a better coordination team and highly recommend!!

We loved working with Joyfully! My MOH had complimented me saying that I was such a "chill bride"…read morethe day of my wedding and I have Joyfully to thank for that. They handled everything for me the day of from vendor set up all the way to clean up at the end of the night. I was able to enjoy the whole day and not worry about anything logistically. If there were any hiccups, I did not know. Prior to wedding day, the whole planning process was so easy. They scheduled calls with us regularly to review what we still needed to do on our to do list and also our design idea. They made finding vendors easy based on our design inspo and they did the initial reach outs for us. The week leading up to the wedding I had nothing to do and nothing to worry about besides getting my nails done and hair cut! We loved working with the entire Joyfully team! They answered all of our questions and handled so much behind the scenes. I have been telling all of my friends their full service planning package is the best money I spent for my wedding.

Like everyone else, we reached out to…read moreseveral planners, and BLI was the most responsive, easiest to work with, and had the most variety of vendor experience. They were attentive to our budget and helped negotiate pricing with our venue. Kinza, Neha, and Courtney are amazing to work with -- they included us at every step of the way and kept us organized despite a relatively short timeline. They were attentive to every detail and didn't miss a beat. Our guests raved: "Everything was perfect," "It was so elegant," "You two planned an amazing wedding." We give full credit to BLI for a memory we'll never forget, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.

Hiring Neha and the Blue Lotus team was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!…read moreFrom the very beginning, we felt her passion, her professionalism, and the love she puts into her work. She didn't just plan our wedding....she truly invested in us and in bringing our vision to life!!!! We always felt so supported and guided, even when we had NO IDEA what we were doing. LOL She went above and beyond in every way, including the things most people never see. She checked in constantly, thought through every detail, and truly cared about making the entire process feel stress free for us. During the wedding weekend, we were able to fully let go and just be present because we knew everything was in her hands. She and her team took care of every detail beautifully!!! The final result was more than we could have ever imagined. From the installations to the custom elements and everything in between, the whole day came together perfectly. Our guests and vendors could not stop talking about how incredible she was to work with. We feel the exact same way! She is the best in the industry and worth every penny and more! If you are looking for a wedding planner who not only knows what she is doing but also GENUINELY cares, look no further. She made our dream wedding come to life and gave us memories we will cherish forever. We cannot recommend her enough. Thank you again Neha and the entire team over at Blue Lotus!!!!

We had our wedding in October 2021 and I can't thank chị Nhàn and chị Kim enough for my wedding…read moreflowers. They quoted me the best price and delivered quality work (very modern floral arrangements). Chị Nhàn was very responsive via texts and phone calls. She was to talk to, which made the whole process of planning a wedding less stressful. The florist industry was and is still going through a flower shortage, but they did their magic to get me the exact color and flower choices we wanted. We're very thankful and appreciative of their work, so we gave them gratuity to hopefully make up for some inflation. I highly highly recommend these ladies for your wedding flowers. I know I will going back to her for all of my flower needs in the future.

From the bouquets, to the wedding back drop and sweetheart table, to the centerpieces, the florals were absolutely stunning. I literally cried when we did the reception reveal and saw her work, the florals made everything come together! I admit I was a bit difficult to work with but she was so understanding and flexible. I'm sure being in the business for so long she's dealt with a ton of bridezillas but she remained professional throughout the whole process and only wanted the best for me and my husband. For my florals, I really wanted white dried leaves and knew they were limited and hard to get but she went out of her way to make sure I got them for my floral arrangements! Ven was just so very easy to work with and was always available to us when we had questions. Our wedding wouldn't have looked beautiful the way it was without her stunning work. On top of that, her prices are hard to beat. We 10000% recommend her and will definitely go back to her again if ever we need any floral arrangements. Thank you Ven for everything!!

From the moment we started working together, she was incredibly responsive, resourceful, and proactive. No question went unanswered, no detail was overlooked, and she always made us feel like everything was under control. We had a traditional Persian wedding with a lot of moving parts, and Crystal handled every aspect with confidence and grace. She helped beautifully set up our sofreh, coordinated all our vendors and timelines, and made sure individual notes for each of our guests were thoughtfully placed. She seamlessly managed all of the little details that could have easily been forgotten, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the day. One of the greatest compliments I can give a wedding coordinator is that everything felt effortless. It's so easy to notice when something goes wrong at a wedding, but it's easy to forget just how much work it takes behind the scenes to make everything run perfectly. Crystal was the reason our day unfolded exactly as planned, and her organization, calm demeanor, and problem-solving skills made all the difference. I would hire Crystal again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a coordinator who truly cares about making your wedding day flawless. She exceeded every expectation, and we're so grateful she was part of our celebration.

It was one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding process. From our very first meeting, Crystal took the time to get to know us, understand our vision, and learn exactly what we needed. After that initial consultation, she paired us with Caitlin as our day-of coordinator, and we could not have asked for a better match. From the beginning, Caitlin was professional, organized, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. She provided us with excellent planning tools, helpful checklists, and maintained constant communication with us every step of the way. Anytime we had questions or needed advice, she was always quick to respond and helped us make informed decisions. This made the planning process so much less stressful. As the wedding day got closer, Caitlin worked seamlessly with us and all of our vendors and made sure everyone was on the same page. We even had a few last-minute changes. She handled every adjustment without hesitation. Everything was executed flawlessly, and we never once felt like anything was out of control. On our wedding day, Caitlin and her entire team exceeded every expectation we had. They were organized, attentive, calm, and always one step ahead. Because of them, Pamela and I were able to relax, be fully present, and truly enjoy every moment of our wedding without worrying about timelines, vendors, or logistics. Everything was exactly where it needed to be, exactly when it needed to be, and the entire day flowed perfectly. Looking back, having Caitlin and her team there was priceless. They turned what could have been a stressful day into one that was smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who genuinely cares about your day, communicates exceptionally well, and executes everything flawlessly, look no further. Thank you, Crystal, Caitlin, and the Exceptionally Yours team for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect. We are forever grateful! Philip and Pamela (The Molina's) :)

A wise-robot, named ChatGPT, once told us that a majority of wedding headaches come from finding…read morethe perfect venue and having a great caterer. Luckily for us, 3 Petals took those wise words and said "hold my champagne." We gave 3 Petals team a large task of 270 guests, a moody romantic theme, picky eaters, quality drinks, amazing food, and a floral chandelier that made us gasp. Not only did the team understood the assignment, they handled all of it without missing a beat. We can't talk about 3 Petals without talking about the staff. And we have to start with Ashley, because she deserves every thank you we could give. As our POC for the entire year leading up to the wedding, she was an absolute sweetheart from start to finish. Every email answered promptly, every question, no matter how small, was met with patience and clarity. It felt like planning a wedding with a friend who genuinely wanted our day to be perfect. Ashley truly set the tone for what the entire 3 Petals experience would feel like, and that standard carried through every single interaction with their team. The venue staff as a whole are warm, genuine, and flexible. You can tell they actually love what they do. The venue itself is a true blank canvas. We wanted a moody, romantic theme and 3 Petals team suggested maroon draping. Game changer. It completely transformed the space and gave the room a warm and intimate atmosphere. The team provided extra lighting to balance the moodiness of the room and made sure our linen choices tied everything together perfectly. Their in-house rentals are fairly priced, their florist team is incredibly talented, and the floral chandelier they created was honestly more stunning in person than anything we had imagined. Since they have established relationships with so many local vendors, coordinating everyone was smooth and stress-free. Now the food. We need to talk about the food because this is where 3P truly shines. Many of our guests were from families of great cooks. We are talking picky Asian moms and aunties who will absolutely let you know if something did not meet the mark. Every single one of them complimented the food. This was the highlight of the wedding for us. We went with Signature Menu 2 and swapped the first course for cocktail hour bites, and that decision alone was worth it. We had tried the cocktail food at our tasting and knew immediately it was going to be a hit, but the actual wedding night confirmed it. Every single item was amazing. The curry shrimp was juicy and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of curry flavor, served on a crispy bite that had the most satisfying crunch. The halibut ceviche was a fresh, beautifully executed Asian fusion take. And the filet beef cubes were tender, soft, and seasoned so perfectly that every single bite felt intentional. And those were just the appetizers. Dinner raised the bar even higher. Our front runners from the moment we tried them were the twice cooked short ribs and the steamed sea bass, and they delivered on the wedding night exactly as promised. The short ribs fell completely off the bone and melted in your mouth. The sea bass was incredibly fragrant and cooked to perfection. The soup was delicate yet packed with generous amounts of shrimp and crab, and they did not skimp on a single thing. And the lobsters with garlic noodles? Bomb! All our guests raved about these dishes. The compliments did not stop at the wedding either. Weeks later, guests were still bringing up the food unprompted. That speaks volumes about what By 3 Petals puts on the table. Our guests really came for the wedding and stayed for the drinks. The full top shelf bar meant every cocktail actually tasted like a cocktail. No watered down drinks, no flimsy plastic cups, just well-made cocktails served right. The venue went above and beyond by helping us craft his and her signature drinks. It was a small personalized detail that got people talking all night and made the bar feel like part of the experience rather than just a table in the corner. Venue by 3 Petals is truly the full package and one of the best decisions we ever made for our wedding. Thank you 3 Petals Team for the best night of our lives!

The entire staff was so kind, attentive, and efficient throughout the night. Everything felt very organized even with such a large crowd. I especially have to shout out the bartenders, specifically, Anais and Rhiannon!! They were AMAZING. The bar was slammed all night, but you honestly would have never known from their service. Drinks came out so quickly even if it was a large order (guilty), everything was made correctly, and they were genuinely some of the best drinks I've had! On top of that, they both had the best energy and were so friendly and fun with every guest who came up to the bar. They somehow managed to keep everything moving while still making each interaction feel personal, which was so impressive considering how busy they were. Anais and Rhiannon seriously added so much to the atmosphere of the wedding and were one of the things that stood out to me most from the night. You can tell they are both great at what they do and genuinely care about giving guests a good experience. The wait staff was also wonderful staying communicative, keeping everything clean on the tables, checking in, and helping box things up. Such a beautiful venue with an amazing team. I am now planning on looking at this place for my future wedding!

The flowers exceeded anything I could have imagined and brought our vision to life perfectly. Every arrangement was elegant, timeless, and beautifully designed. One of my favorite details from the entire day was my bouquet. It was absolutely beautiful, and even now I still find myself looking at it and smiling. It perfectly captured everything I had hoped for and is such a special reminder of our wedding day. Beyond her incredible talent, Cindy is simply a wonderful person.
