Ceremony space at Sheraton Laguardia East

I used Melissa's Creations as my decorator vendor, as per word of mouth and recommendation from my venue, and Im very glad I did. Melissa has an extensive portfolio of decorations across a multitude of wedding venues. I opted for styles she had done before for other clients. I imagine that if you want something more custom and tailored, she'd be more than happy to accommodate. I just happened to know what I wanted (basically a whimsical vibe with a heavy focus on use of light and airy textures) so I didnt bother getting creative. My only small complaint is that reaching out to Melissa can be a bit frustrating. I had asked her several times to confirm my order and set up my final payment before my event but it wasn't until just a few days before that I managed to get a hold of her for a quick 4 minute call. I understand, she must be a very in-demand person during peak wedding season. And I guess my order wasn't particularly complicated, so maybe she just didn't prioritize me over other clients. In hindsight, this isn't a big deal, but for some people, this may be very nerve-wracking. Thankfully, Melissa has worked with my venue (Sheraton East Laguardia) many many times, so everything was smooth sailing the day of. I never even saw her during my wedding day and I honestly have no idea when she arrived, but she definitely delivered. My wedding space looked so beautiful. I was very pleased. And I didn't break the bank either! Im glad I went with this vendor for my special day. I may or may not come back when I have to prepare my baby shower I do love supporting Asian-owned businesses, especially Cantonese-speaking ones!

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.

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 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.

Ceremony draping with white chiffon fabric.
Valerie C.

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!

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.

Dessert Table with Melissa's installation as the backdrop

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!

She was always easy to reach and prompt with getting back to me. Absolutely loved working with her. My guests were happy and the kids were also entertained. The photographer was also very professional and so talented. She captured the event so well that someone can feel like they were there. The pastries and cake were also beautiful and delicious. Moist, not too sweet or greasy. Everything went so smooth and I couldn't ask for more. We are definitely going to hire Xin to style our next big event. It would save us tons of headaches and create such wonderful memories. We really enjoyed the party's relaxed atmosphere. We were able to enjoy our children and play with the party favors. The kids loved the party entertainment. Face painting!! My son had an amazing monster truck drawn on his face and our baby girl had a flower.

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.

Make up artists 3. Outfits 4. Master of ceremony 5. DJ 6. Drivers. If you work with imperial they'll have connections to all aspects (yes including event spaces) and be able to link you with one of their associates if planning is too overwhelming. I really enjoyed working with this company. I applaud Lilly for her work with a brush and her ability to communicate in other English, Canto, and Mandarin. I applaud Mindy for her skill with a needle and her expert eye at knowing what size you'll need. I applaud Yuki for her standing up for you if other people are pressing you. If your family happens to want a Trad FJ style then I can't recommend Yuki enough. IFYKY. The wedding day itself is already stressful enough don't stress any more about the behind the scene work

While the makeup application itself was good, I did not feel prioritized as the bride. She was working on another client at the same time at the studio, someone taking photos at her studio, which caused delays and ultimately made me late for my own photoshoot. On such an important day, I expected to be the focus, and that was disappointing. She did not communicate in advance that she was double booked on that day. More recently, we confirmed a 3pm appointment for a wedding I was attending. However, a few days before, she called to say she would no longer be available at that time and could only do 12pm, without a clear explanation or apology. It left me scrambling to find an alternative. I dont mind if she needed to cancel, but suddenly she made it seems like I was inconveniencing her schedule. And to me, that was very unprofessional. Pricing and expectations are also not clearly communicated, and frequent mentions of tips felt unprofessional. Overall, while she has talent, reliability, transparency, and respect for a client's time are essential--especially for important events--and that was consistently lacking in my experience. For anyone looking for a more dependable experience, I ended up going with Dream Wedding on 150th, and they were professional, organized, and respectful of my time. And most of all the makeup looked polished and amazing!!! Ask for Sue :) Thanks Lily for canceling on me last minute because I was able to find Sue!!!
