Working with Melanie was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. I've…read morenever met anyone who is so good at what they do and loves it so much as her. My husband and I can't recommend her highly enough. In the months leading up to the wedding, she was so easy to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Melanie had a timeline of everything that needed to get done (even the little things) and she made sure we were on-schedule. She gave us excellent vendor recommendations (people told us that the food was the best they've had at a wedding, and the band was a huge hit as well!). She was extremely responsive and would even have us send her things we liked from Instagram for inspiration. Every time we got off the phone with her we would look at each other and say "I'm so glad we have Melanie on our team." She kept us on-budget and helped us understand what it was worth it to spend on as we searched for venues, caterers, bands, flowers, and more. During the wedding week and weekend, Melanie kept everyone calm and on-task. She made sure all the tents, tables, chairs, etc were delivered on-time and everyone was where they should be. She took care of all the "little things" that we didn't think of and even coordinated our rehearsal. The event was beautiful, and we owe a lot of that to Melanie's tasteful suggestions. (She also let us borrow a lot of her own things like signs and a cake stand.) Melanie was always one or two steps ahead of us on wedding day, and we didn't have to think about where we should be for photos or speeches- we really go to enjoy the day and be present. She was there until the last guest had gone home. I 100% recommend Melanie, and can't imagine how we would have done it without her.

In beginning to plan my wedding, I discussed with a recently-married friend where she thought she…read moregot the most bang for the buck. She said, without a doubt, it was her day-of wedding planner. With that in mind, my budget was very tight. Although we currently live in CA, my husband and I are from MA and got married outside Boston in June 2011. Knowing that I wouldn't be able to meet any of my vendors until the week before the wedding, phone calls and emails were of the utmost importance. After the first time I talked to Melanie on the phone, I knew I was going to have to make room for her in my budget, and I can say that, it really was, without a doubt, some of the best money I spent. Simply put, Melanie d-e-f-i-n-e-s the phrase "on top of things." I am a very organized, detail-oriented person, but she blew me away. Leading up to the wedding, she was consistently offering suggestions, alternatives, support, and laughter. The day of my wedding, although I maybe only saw her twice, she worked pure magic. She anticipated what I'd need or want, and things would just appear on the head table before I realized what it was I needed or wanted. This review really doesn't do her services justice - she really, really is the cream of the crop. I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without her.

Everything "d" said below pretty much outlines our experience with Lisa as well. She is so easy to…read morework with-- she makes every event personal and makes sure you're happy every step of the way. And she always seems excited to do so, which is really important. She planned our rehearsal dinner/cocktail party and I really had no idea what I wanted, but it turned out to be a stunning, classy event with amazing food and drinks. People still haven't stopped raving about it. Not only that, but when my wedding caterer bailed (and she wasn't even planning that event), I knew I could email her and she would have someone else on hand that we could use. Sure enough, we were able to track down an available caterer through her contacts, and the food at the wedding was flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone. I can't wait to see what she does next!

My husband and I were married on July 10, 2010. Searching for the venue was one of the hardest…read moredecisions, especially given all the varying requirements of each location. When we reached out to the One Hundred Club and spoke with the Director of Events, Lisa Sammons, she turned what was a difficult decision into one of the easiest. We were immediately impressed by her professionalism and warm demeanor and decided to have our reception at the club. After the location was finalized, Lisa unexpectedly volunteered to assist in finding area vendors. When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to have a local theme. The search for florists and bakeries went from an impersonal Google search to specific recommendations from Lisa, none of which we would have been able to find on our. Her network and knowledge of vendors in the area allowed us to secure vendors providing exactly what we wanted at the price we wanted. The stress of searching for the right chairs, tablecloths, place cards and champagne was gone after we started working with Lisa. She continuously went above and beyond her duties to ensure our wedding reception went off without a hitch. We're convinced she even scheduled the perfect sunset after the summer storm. We would highly recommend Lisa to friends and family for all their event planning needs.

Sure enough, my now husband and I, had just cancelled our 02/2021 wedding due to COVID-19 and were feeling lost and overwhelmed. I immediately set up a meeting with Leslie and planned a WHOLE wedding in, I kid you not, FOUR months. Leslie is amazing. We had our wedding on 09.26.21. We have not received photos yet but will be sure to hopefully upload some to this review later on! Leslie helped everywhere from finding rehearsal dinner spot, florist, venue, and of course the actual rehearsal and day of plus much more. We would of never ever found our dream venue location and more without Leslie. I'm telling y'all, she's got CONNECTIONS. I could text or call her anytime with the craziest questions and she wouldn't even flinch. Our final meeting, we walked out of there so confident because we trusted Leslie wholeheartedly. Our day was the most special and LEAST stressful thanks to her. She truly covers all her bases and will take care of things that you never even think to cross your mind. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Leslie and her team IMMEDIATELY after engagement. She will make the planning process fool proof and ENJOYABLE. I jokingly said to my now husband that we will most definitely work with Leslie for our vow renewal ceremony after only being married 3 weeks LOL. Also,, shout out to Janice, Leslie's assistant, for the behind the scenes work the day of! Thank you Leslie @ Planned Perfectly!!!

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.
