About Me and My Company

I should have known from the time I was little that I would be planning weddings! My Sister teases me that she helped me to plan more Barbie weddings than she could count!  I have been taking voice lessons since I was very young, and I sang for my first wedding when I was 9 years old. These beautiful celebrations, rich with tradition and joy, have always been a part of my life.

From my start as a concierge and events planner to being a wedding coordinator, all roads led me here. I have been planning weddings for the past two years at Tarpon Lodge, and I have now branched out to other venues. I will always be an incurable romantic, and I look forward to planning many more of these festive galas in the years ahead! 

“We cannot recommend Melissa highly enough to anyone wanting their special day in the best possible hands”

“Melissa was an absolute blessing to work with as our wedding planner. She anticipated needs before we even realized them, handled every challenge with grace, and made sure every moment flowed seamlessly. We felt truly cared for, not just as clients, but as people, and our wedding was more beautiful and stress free than we could have imagined.”  - Tim and Laura Cruz

“It has been such a breeze working with you…”

“Thank you so much for helping us host our beautiful wedding. It has been such a breeze working with you and the Tarpon Lodge staff. Our day was truly special.” - Rana & Hayden
