Coastal Weddings and Events

Melissa was wonderful to work with! We originally had our wedding planner for May 8th, 2021 but pushed it back to Fall of 2021.

The 18 months of planning our wedding was hectic and an emotional roller coaster, but Melissa swooped in and does what she does and takes care of it all. We put our trust into Melissa and she brought our vision to life after 18 long months. Without fail, Melissa was there for us whenever we needed her. We live in Vancouver so we weren’t able to meet in person very often, but Melissa was just a phone call away.

We hired Melissa to do our planning, decor & florals. She blew us away. The full planning, decor and floral package was the best choice we made as it was so helpful not having to carry our decor from Vancouver to the coast. Melissa had all the decor we had wanted and more! She even went out of her way to find me a gold circular arch I had wanted for the ceremony. I still can’t get over how whimsical our wedding day was. The flowers, the greenery, the twinkle lights and best of all the clear tent. It was so beautiful being able to see the sky above us and then the stars as we moved into the evening.

On the big day, Melissa was a calming presence and any time something needed to be done she was on it! She even helped fix my bustle when the button had torn off.

Overall, we absolutely loved working with Melissa and her staff. They truly made our wedding day the best day ever!

PS. These photos I’ve shared were taken by Paige Dunn photography. Paige is AMAZING. Can’t wait to write her review!

I almost don't have words for how fantastic Melissa and her team were at planning our small wedding. She found the perfect vendors and accomplished our vision so perfectly. The flowers were gorgeous. Perfect for a destination wedding and very reasonably priced. She even managed to pleasantly surprise us on the day. Shoutout to Aspen as well, a natural problem solver. Highly recommended!

Coastal Weddings and Events was the best! We didn’t have to think about a single detail, Melissa had everything ready for us and running so smoothly. From the breathtaking bouquet she made that morning, to our amazing commissioner, Cathie Watkins, to champagne and cake, and things we wouldn’t have thought of! Also cannot say enough about how amazing Paige, our photographer, was!
We went to Chatterbox Falls for our ceremony, and were some of the first people to go to Marion Lake for more photos, and both locations were breathtaking!
We just cannot recommend this team enough! We contacted ONE person (through text!) and she organized this whole perfect, amazing, wonderful day for us! I am obsessed and any time someone even mentions a wedding to me I will be telling them to contact Melissa at Coastal Weddings and Events!

We eloped earlier this month and Kori and Melissa were fantastic. They made the day seamless and relaxing. It was the perfect day.

Melissa is an exceptional planner!! She is organized, calm and extremely hard working. Melissa has amazing communication and was always flexible and available to chat. Our wedding turned out beautifully! We honestly could not be happier with our experience with Melissa and her team.
