Where to even begin, not that we would ever want to plan a wedding again...but if we did we'd pick…read moreMaria and her team every single time. From the moment we had to pick a planner, we knew Maria was the right choice. Our first phone call felt like talking to your best friend you had known for years. She showed genuine care and interest from the get go and we knew we were in good hands. As someone who is a little more Type A (bride) when it comes to organization and planning, it was over whelming trying to consider how to plan the biggest day of our lives. Maria went above and beyond and took any ounce of stress away. She helped us pick our vendor team early on into the planning process, allowing us to find people who matched our energy. What seemed to be so daunting became some of the easiest decisions to make. Throughout the year, Maria checked in with us to make sure things were okay. She looked over our contracts and helped us plan the next steps whether it was food tasting, floral meetings, making a design deck, or buying a cake just for a photo. Monthly chats quickly turned into weekly chats as we got closer to the big day. Maria ensured every little detail was covered asking us questions about our bridal party, songs we wanted to be played, table greetings, and thank you cards. Before the day of our wedding, she sent us a checklist of items to give her to help take the added weight off our shoulders so we can enjoy our day. What we thought was already an above and beyond was nothing near the day of experience. Maria and her team could not have planned a better timeline for us and our loved ones. Maria took charge handling all our vendors while her assistants Cat and Chelsea ensured we were okay and our bridal party was set and ready to go. Everything was seamless as they took care of little things such as ensuring we had food to eat, water to drink, and a moment to breathe. When we had some last minute changes such as changed meals or guest coming and going, they handled it with ease. Many of our guest raved about our vendors and how amazing the day was, but it couldn't have happened without Maria and her team. Our closest loved ones who knew Maria was our planner couldn't stop complimenting how on top of it she was the whole day, and we couldn't agree more. Maria is not only a planner but she becomes your friend. She takes genuine interest in you and makes you feel on top of the world. We couldn't be more fortunate enough to have worked with her and her team.

I had a great experience with Mele Amore Events and especially with our lead planner, Nicole…read more Nicole was an absolute angel and amazing to work with! From day one she was always professional, organized, and communicative yet super friendly and personable. It felt like we were planning our wedding with a good friend who really cared about us. If it's within your budget to hire a professional wedding planner, I absolutely recommend you do it. For me, I was willing to cut our budget elsewhere to afford a wedding planner because I don't enjoy planning parties and had no interest trying to DIY plan one of the most important events of my life. Looking back now, hiring Mele Amore was the best decision we made. I had a family emergency come up the week of my wedding - my dad was hospitalized days before the wedding and wasn't able to attend. It was a scary and stressful time and I hope no other bride ever has to experience anything like that, but it's in moments like these where having a professional planner proves to be invaluable. It was such a relief to know that Nicole had all the wedding details handled so I could just focus on my family situation and on mentally preparing myself for the wedding day despite the sadness I felt. My dad obviously had a lot of roles in the wedding, but we were able to scramble to make alterations, which I thank my wonderful family and Nicole for stepping up and helping with. Nicole made all the necessary adjustments to the schedule and notified all of our vendors of the situation, so everyone was sensitive, kind, and comforting to me on the wedding day which really helped me feel better. It turned out to still be a beautiful and joyful day despite the circumstances and I am able to look back on my wedding day fondly - for that I will forever be grateful to Nicole and Mele Amore! Nicole was able to deliver the wedding we wanted within our discussed budget and I am still stunned to this day on how beautiful our florals and decor looked with the budget we had! The owner, Michelle, handles the designs and totally nailed the look we were going for: cozy, romantic, and luxe without being over-the-top or gaudy. I had so much fun going through mood boards and the mock-up with Nicole, but the actual reception design day of completely exceeded our expectations. On the wedding day, we had Nicole plus two assistants with us the entire time. They were all so great at keeping everything on schedule, getting people to where they needed to be, and stopping family members from mobbing us to take a million phone photos. Despite the stress leading up to the wedding, the actual wedding day itself went really smoothly and was pretty stress-free. If there were any issues on our wedding day my husband and I don't know about them, which is how it should be! Thank you so much to Nicole, Michelle, and the Mele Amore team for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Mariam really made my wedding vision into a reality! From the very beginning, she was attentive,…read moreorganized, and truly understood my vision. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Whether it was vendor coordination, managing timelines, or last-minute changes, she handled everything with grace and professionalism. On the big day, I didn't have to worry about a single thing--she had it all covered so we could be fully present and enjoy every moment. What impressed me most was her calm energy, quick problem-solving, and genuine care. It felt like I had a best friend who just happened to be an expert at planning weddings. Our guests are still raving about how seamless and beautiful everything was. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to bring your wedding vision to life, i highly recommend Thee Soirée Collective. Hiring her was the best decision we made! Also the cake arrived to the venue completely destroyed! It fell over on the way in the car. Mariam was able to single handedly fix the cake by adding real flowers to hide the parts that were ruined and it turned out perfectly!

I hired Luxury Estate Weddings & Events (LEWE) for my wedding last year, and their…read moreunprofessionalism and unethical behaviors had caused me a lot of stress and a few sleepless nights. Please note that I'm quite an easy-going bride, and none of the stress came from the actual planning. I really wished someone who worked with them prior had warned me, so I write this as a warning to people who are considering to hire them. I was blown away with their nice website and pretty pictures, and wanted to have our wedding at a private venue - so we decided to go with them. However, after you sign that extremely detailed unbreakable contract for the "All Inclusive Wedding Package", it just went downhill from there. As it is an all inclusive package, almost every vendor is through them (e.g. caterer, photographer, DJ etc). In this case, even if (LEWE)'s services is not up to your expectations, you cannot fire them because they are tied to everything else. If you do 'fire' them, then you will have to forfeit all the money and vendors. It is a horrible position to be in, and by signing this contract, you are giving them all the power. I think from this stand point alone, it is enough for you to stay away from them. In addition, a lot of what the package offered was very basic/ bare minimum, for example they only include 1 hour open bar. To extend the open bar, they charge premium prices per guest. Yet, you will be stuck with their bar vendor. The caterer also told me the Hors d'oeuvre included only had 4 pieces per person, and that I (and every bride prior) had to pay for extra food to make sure their guests are full. They market themselves as having packages starting at 50k, however when you sign the contract there is a $1,500 non-refundable cleaning fee included- so even at the bare minimum, you'd have to pay $51,500. There were extra costs and upgrades (at a high premium) almost every step of the way. However, It really wasn't the financials that bothered me, it was the way LEWE handled it that just made me feel like i was getting scammed. Ultimately, because everything was 'included', they try to cut cost wherever they can so they can keep more of the money. They also tried to up-sell me, and snuck in extra costs. There was also company politics and the employees would argue and include me in those emails/ conversations - which was unprofessional. Look at the bigger picture: they always reuse vendors, so your wedding almost doesn't differ from any of their other clients. You pay premium for their services too (package starts at about 51k+, but it includes very basic things so no one only ends up paying that amount). I think the ideal way is to contact the private venue yourself and hire a wedding coordinator flat rate (no kickbacks). A good wedding coordinator will handle and coordinate all the vendors on your behalf. This way, every vendor is independent, and they are all held accountable. I've since spoken to friends who have had beautiful well-run weddings, and one of the top wedding coordinator (who had 13 assistants and sent weekly to-do lists, follow ups etc) charges $7k flat rate. That is way of a better investment, than paying 50k and getting up-charged along the way. I swear, with this plan I believe you can have a beautiful wedding that is more personalized to you, at almost half the cost. Feel free to DM me for more information.
