    Highly recommended events decorators! Jodie was great setting me up in the initial planning phases for our event. She suggested and showed us many different examples of decorations that she can offer. On the day of the event; they were fast, efficient and done before schedule! Melissa was on-site herself directing the decorations and our guest were surprised and asking who did the decorations! Great job Melissa and Company! We'll be calling you again and recommend you to others!

    I booked Melissa and her team for florals for our wedding and they were a pleasure to work with! They were very responsive which I greatly appreciated when planning a wedding during covid. The flowers were beautiful and a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend them!

    Beautiful flowers set up by Melissa's Creation. Loved it!!!

    Melissa is such a sweetheart! Listens and very attentive. Got everything together on the day of the wedding. It turned out so beautiful! Got 22 centerpieces, 11 boutonnières and 7 bouquets for me and the bridesmaids. She did everything we asked and made great suggestions at a fair price. There were absolutely no problems with our flowers or the delivery of them. Thanks Melissa and her team for making our day beautiful!!

    Melissa's touch truly made a difference. My fiancee (now wife) and I were very nervous about having our wedding at a Chinese restaurant that seemed to lack much warmth for a gathering. We had mostly done the wedding planning ourselves and were at a loss, until we spoke with Melissa. Mind you we vetted a few other Asian decorators who worked the space and by far Melissa was most communicative and had a good understanding of the feeling that we're after. She transformed the restaurant and left us with much peace of mind, despite being busy on one of the busiest wedding days of the year. She also provided our flowers and also Church decoration, which were equally light and appealing. Anyone who has been through wedding planning knows how stressful details can be and it was so much easier w/ Melissa as part of our wedding team. +s: She has probably decorated almost all Chinese restaurants in NYC that handles wedding receptions so she has a good relationship with the folks and can help you communicate your needs. She really has great eye and original one at that!

    We love the flower arrangements on our arch, perfect for our special day. Thank you, Melissa

    My wife and I used Melissa's creation for our American wedding ceremony in NYC this past July 2017. We were both looking for a very clean, elegant, and simple floral decors. We had a very tight timeline, but Melissa was very accommodating and responsive (always replied to our questions/messages within 24 hours). Melissa has great creative energy and pays attention to client's style preferences. Our advice to future clients is to have a couple inspirational photos and ideas before first meeting appointment with the vendor. This will give both parties a good starting ground.

    My top recommendation for wedding decoration! Melissa was super helpful and sweet. I've only showed her what I like and my concerns, and she was able to understand my needs and put everything together like magic and created a fairytale! Her flowers were amazingly fresh and beautiful. Especially the bridal bouquet, the colors were beautiful and perfectly matched my theme. All I can say is love love love!!

    My husband and I decided to hire Melissa to decorate our wedding venue after hearing great feedback from a friend. We definitely did not regret the decision and the results exceeded expectations. We got the flower wall and backdrop for the stage , flower arch, decorations for chairs, tables and runway Melissa was a pleasure to work with and extremely professional and responsive. She provided great insights on our first meeting and when we tried to reach her, she would respond quickly. At the time of the wedding banquet, we were completely stunned by how amazing everything looked. We also received a lot of compliments from our guests. I highly recommend Melissa.

    First of, I would like to say, I LOVE YOU Melissa! You did such an amazing job at our wedding! You have no idea the rave reviews we got at our banquet. We passed your name all over the place. Now for the review: We hired Melissa's Creation to decorate the Grand Harmony Restaurant in Manhattan Chinatown for our wedding on June 15th. It was complete luck that we found her when we were looking for a restaurant and she just happened to be there at the Jade Asian Restaurant (Flushing, NY) preparing for another wedding. Her work there was top notch and we knew she was the one to do ours. Melissa and her crew turned an old restaurant into a fairy tale palace. They decorated the entire restaurant from the doors, walls, to the ceiling. We chose a lavender, purple, and ivory color theme for the tables, chairs, stage, walls, and columns. Not only that, she filled in the gaps and handled some of the details of the layout herself that we had missed or didn't know what to do about. We couldn't be more ecstatic at how it all came together. Considering the size of the job that she had to do, her prices were very reasonable. It is slightly more than the competition, but you get what you paid for in terms of the materials she uses and the creativity and energy she brings to her work. Just for our venue, she must of brought in at least 15 people to put the place together. She has an amazing supporting team who really put us at ease in delivering on what we wanted for our wedding. Unlike some of her other competition, Melissa has an actual office where we can see her to discuss our ideas. She was always available for us either in person or by phone. Her office also serves as part of her warehouse and showcase where we got the chance to see and feel the material and props she was going to use for the restaurant. She also knew Grand Harmony inside and out and knew what was going to work or not. Her input was invaluable to us in making certain decisions. Did I mention that her work was so amazing that she now is doing two more weddings for two people I referred her to because they saw her work at my wedding? I could rave on and on and the quality of her work, but I will just let the pictures speak for themselves. Keep up the amazing work Melissa!

    My husband and I hired Melissa from Melissa's Creation to drape our ceremony space. We had asked a few places prior to coming to Melissa's but her work photos seemed to nail exactly what we were looking for. Armed with an example photo, we met with Melissa on a weekend at her office. She eagerly accepted the job, although we did have to pay extra for white chiffon fabric as the color is not popular in Asian cultures. We thought the price she charged was fair, although if you are willing to use a fabric she has in stock, it's even more affordable! I saw Melissa the day of the wedding setting up with 2 other workers. They were quick and efficient and the draping was spot on! We loved how it accented the space and it really was the ceremony of our dreams. Melissa, thank you for helping us achieve our vision!

    The balloon installation that Melissa and her team did for my daughter's Baby Shower was wonderful! She helped design the piece, they arrived at the venue early and set up quickly, then came back right on time for the tear-down. The balloons were absolutely beautiful and working with Melissa was a real pleasure. She was always responsive and addressed any questions I had. I recommend her highly and would not hesitate to use her services again!

    My husband and I originally hired Melissa when we were planning our recent April wedding at Mudan Banquet Hall upon their recommendation. However, come October, Mudan informed us they were no longer able to accommodate us because their venue was closed during our wedding (6 months away, I know!) We moved our venue to Flushing Town Hall, kept Melissa's services and she and her team did an ABSOLUTELY beautiful job. Because we were no longer in a Chinese banquet hall, we were scrambling to find a balance between Chinese and American elements to try to please ourselves as well as the inlaws. From her, we got our waterfall lights for the stage, a couple of balloons, simple centerpieces, our sweetheart table, the double happiness signs, the flower arch, and she helped us set up the sign in table as well. Overall we were very happy with the outcome, Melissa is extremely bubbly and great to work with, responds in a timely manner, and she definitely gave us what we wanted. Thanks!

    We had an appointment in January to see Melissa for our July wedding. She was very nice, listened to our thoughts and was patient with our choices of the decor. She showed us her work and has many experiences with different Asian/American décor at wedding venues. Without hesitation we fell in love with her work, we chose the backdrop, design of our names, cake table, runway, reception table and our special candy table. On the day of our wedding, we were amazed with the décor. It was just how I pictured with the flowers on the backdrop and the glittery curtains. However, there was one minor thing that I would like to mention. The runway was slippery when we walked on it and it was not secured well. By the time we realized it, her team had left already. We had to tell the manager to help us tape down the runway. Overall, she was one of the best vendor we had worked with and I would recommend her to any new bride and groom to be looking for a decorator.

    We booked Melissa's for our wedding based on the reviews we read on Yelp, and we were not disappointed! Jodie was our main point of contact, and she was responsive and helped coordinate all the details. Throughout the planning process, Jodie was very flexible to any changes we made and on the day of our wedding, our venue looked beautiful. It was exactly how we wanted it to look. We had our wedding at a Chinese restaurant, and they really changed the look and feel of the place. We were so happy on how everything turned out!

I will say I had a great experience with hair/makeup and dress but photography was such a horrible experience. We saw sample pictures beforehand and decided to go with Rahel but the pictures we actually got were no where near what we were given. I will preface and say that we were pre-warned that we were double booked that day and were not going to get the main photographer,however, I am not just upset at the quality of photos but just the lack of professionalism that followed. We ended up taking studio photos that day with the main photographer which actually were edited and came out nice, however, the pictures taken at the venue were terrible with the other photographers. Many of the pictures looked like we were inside a club due to horrible flash. Many pictures we were washed out with flash directly in our faces. Not just that but barely none were edited. We just got a photo dump of nearly 7 gbs of just raw pictures. We hired photography to get professional pictures but we just ended up with a photo dump of just raw photos and terrible ones at that. The worst part is I tried emailing the group about my concerns 3 times with NO response and am just amazed at their unprofessionalism with their clients. I guess once they have your money they just have no regard for you. If at least there was some dialogue about the situation I don't think I would have been as upset but the fact that before the wedding they were very responsive to the silence that followed afterwards is just what is very upsetting.

They don't actually have limos to rent, but they just get limos from other places. It seemed like a good deal at the time because we got a nice hummer limo and and our agreement was for 10 hours.

I left five messages telling them I do not want a party bus, I just want a limo. Guess what? They came with a party bus. We had plans to tour the city after prom ended but because it was a party bus, they can only get us from point A to point B (exact words from the driver). Also, our agreement was cut short. We only got the bus for 8 hours instead, which is a big difference. We ended up having to take taxis back because we were two hours short! We also did our hair and makeup here before prom. The makeup was way too much. They made us up as if we were doing a photoshoot, so the foundation was too light and they even put in fake eyelashes for some of us which was too much and we ended up taking them off. In the end we looked like geishas and I would've preferred doing my own makeup. Our hair was pretty well-done, but it wasn't anything spectacular. All in all, stay away from this place!
