I reached out to Melissa after viewing her portfolio online. After talking to her I instantly knew…read moreshe understood my vision. I was looking for a DOC because I had 5-6 vendors for my dad's surprise birthday party and I wanted to enjoy my event. It was the best investment! The whole family was able to enjoy the event. Melissa was able to reach out to the vendors and get all the centerpieces arranged on the day of the event. The main table was decorated absolutely wonderfully! Melissa was able to stick to the 60's vintage theme as well. She was very responsive to texts and emails. She also made great suggestions and I valued her input. Everyone enjoyed the event and most importantly I was able to enjoy the event with my family. Melissa was able to execute perfectly and made my dad's birthday one such beautiful memory.

I had scoured all the vintage rental companies in NYC and thankfully found Melissa who had exactly…read morewhat I was looking for and at very reasonable rental rates. We rented silver vintage trays from her to use as my wedding reception center pieces. She has really fabulous vintage rental pieces-- I wish we could have rental them all! I showed her photos of my vision and she personally delivered the trays and graciously even set up and decorated our tables beautifully. Everyone complimented us on how gorgeous the table decor was. I found Melissa very late in my wedding planning process and wish I had found her earlier! I would have definitely wanted to hire her as my day of coordinator! I learned that she offered more than just rental pieces for weddings--she is a full service wedding/event planner. Melissa was just amazing--friendly, warm, patient and really helped me refine my vision and offered great suggestions, support, and encouragement. She has a wonderful eye for beauty and style and creating a dreamy wedding. Thank you for helping to make our day so magical, Melissa! Jessica & Tony 11.22.15

I was lucky enough to win a raffle for a family photo session with Jacqui at an event I attended…read more From the beginning, she was a professional, pouring her heart into finding us a great location, answering questions about wardrobe choices, and (of course) the session itself. I couldn't be happier with the results. She photographed my husband, myself, and my two young boys. She was fantastic at engaging the boys, who were not always the most willing participants, and coming out with great shots. I would highly recommend her!

The photos were more beautiful and perfect then I could have imagined. She made us feel so comfortable! Honestly it was like we have known each other for ever.

She is honest, if you need her she answers emails almost immediately.

I love Partytime Rentals. I have used them two years in a row to rent bouncy castle. The…read moremanagement and the staff are super professional and attentive. This year the rain jeopardized the party. The management was great and worked with us to accommodate our rain date. Bouncy Castle Condition: The bouncy castle was cleaned on site again after they unpacked. The attendant worked with the children to make sure they were safe and had a fun time. I highly recommend this place and plan to use them in the future.

Chairs came dirty and some were broken, and the delivery was short by 3 chairs. Tables rusty, some…read moretables had tape on the legs as if left from previous events.. tables were also splintering, one was missing a screw. Linens were all different shades despite being told they would be off-white (maybe it was wrong of us to assume they'd be the SAME off white?) and some linens were dirty with handprints all over them. Not the kind of service we'd hoped for when planning a party at hone. ALSO was given a pickup window.. still waiting for their arrival, now the time is after they said they would be here to pick up.

The flower arrangement she delivered was gorgeous and vibrant. It had peonies, Brain Celosia, sweet peas, etc. Just take a look at her flower arrangements on her website, they are gorgeous. I dont live in Virginia, I live in California, but if I did I would use Succulents & Saffron for all my events.

Meg was excellent! When we first spoke, I told her the budget I had available and she was able to…read morework with me. I also told her about my wedding being a fall theme and the flowers I wanted but she suggested a less expensive and just as beautiful alternative.

I would highly recommend Meg to anyone looking for a wedding florist. She is truly talented, flexible and professional.

The customer service was fantastic. On the day of the party, the delivery guy called me to let me know when he was coming (he was right on time), and he was very nice.
