Reviews of Melissa Dawn Event Designs (Event Planner)

Jessica Janzen Olstad

The smartest thing we did was bring on Melissa Dawn Event Design. We were actually able to enjoy our party and not stress out about the details. The event went off perfect and I loved the vision that came to life.

The wedding Melissa planned was magical!! Melissa offers a good combination of excellent taste and organization. She has the experience to know what can go wrong and how to prevent it. She is well connected with vendors and knows the best people to work with. Today, even weeks after the wedding our office staff was talking about how good the DJ was. Lol. She sources creative and unique items, and is considerate of budgets. She works hard and puts in the time, making the bride and groom her top priority. You can give her the reigns, sit back and trust what she will do!

When we first started planning our wedding (back in 2019) we had briefly considered hiring a Day of Coordinator but eventually decided we would do well without one. Fast forward almost 2 years and the COVID-19 Pandemic had us faced with feeling very overwhelmed and stressed. By the time we hired Melissa we had already postponed from our original date in August 2020 to June 2021 then add in constantly changing restrictions set by the Province and the climbing case numbers I was at my wits end and truth be told no longer excited about the Wedding. After just one phone call with Melissa I felt a little lighter and positive about our upcoming wedding. We hired her without speaking to anyone else and I am so grateful we did. She was so helpful with coordinating our vendors it was something that we didn't have to deal with at all and I am so grateful for that, we were able to focus on the other important details and trying to make the most of our "COVID Wedding". She was also exceptionally helpful in running our rehearsal as we had decided less than a month out to make my brother our officiant given the low guest count per the provincial restrictions at the time. Melissa was always very professional and positive, she was great at taking initiative and I am looking forward to having her help us plan our reception party taking place in October.

Melissa planned my daughters first birthday party and she went above and beyond! Every detail was taken care of and she exceeded my expectations. It was so great to be able to relax and enjoy the day without worrying about anything. I will definitely be using her for future events!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Melissa. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She understood my vision even better than I did! Every detail was considered, she was professional, efficient, and so patient with me! I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to throw my own event again.

Melissa was so awesome to work with!! She planned and designed my wedding to perfection. I was so unsure of where to even start and she made sure everything was going smoothly. She also made my job easy as the bride! I got to share my input and she handled everything else. A few days before the wedding I was a little nervous of how everything was going to go because there were so many things I didn’t think of and then of course I show up to the wedding and every single thing is taken care of. What a dream!! It was magical and the best day of my life! Also just look at this ceremony set up. Amazing!!

Melissa was a huge help for our wedding day! I honestly couldn't have managed without her. She ensured our day went seamlessly and our vision really came together with her help. I would highly recommend her for any event!

Melissa is truly a gem and I loved working with her. She is very easy to talk to and makes herself available to her clients when needed, via phone, text or email. She has a great list of preferred vendors for you to choose from and even takes care of all the organizing with them. To see it all come together at the event was amazing, she took an idea and in the end made our small (birthday) gathering more magical that I could have ever imagined. Her styling is on point. I would for sure work with Melissa again!

Melissa was amazing. She made my little girls birthday party so magical. She truly saw my vision for having a secret garden themed birthday party and helped make it come to life. She was so wonderful to work with and made my job so easy, I was able to enjoy it and watch the magical moments between my daughter and her friends.

Melissa was hands down the best! She exceeded any and all of our expectations and we could not have asked for anything more. She was so quick to answer her phone/email, adapted to any changes we made, offered suggestions and took all of the stress out of coordinating our wedding. She went above and beyond just coordinating the day for us and was so friendly! Melissa had everything under control and it allowed us to enjoy the day without having to worry about all the details. Melissa made our vision come to life and we could not have asked for a more perfect day! For anyone looking to hire a wedding planning or day of coordinator, Melissa is the BEST!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to work with Melissa! She was extremely prompt and professional in all communications and we felt supported leading up to the big day. We truly were able to relax and just enjoy our wedding because Melissa was there. She also helped us with design and when we saw everything come together it was truly magical, exceeding all expectations. Thank you!!!

Melissa was amazing for my sister’s wedding. She was friendly, professional and made sure everything was perfect for my sister and brother in-law’s special day. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! She made it seem effortless.

I had Melissa plan my son’s 2nd birthday party. I loved working with her from the beginning. She began the process by giving me different options to choose from because I didn’t know what theme I wanted. She not only gave me lots of different ideas but she sent me a ton of pictures to really help me decide what I wanted.⠀ ⠀ Once we picked the theme she really ran with it. Her ideas and creativity was far more than I could have ever imagined. We picked a camp theme and she had every detail covered from decorations to games to the party favours, and even the drinks.⠀ ⠀ She was organized and all ready to go. I was so impressed with her and she saved me so much time. It was so worth it.

Lindsay Roberts

Melissa was amazing! She stepped in at the 11th hour after our original planner ran into some unforeseen circumstances and was not able to provide her services. From the first conversation, Melissa made us feel very comfortable and confident that she could execute our vision and aesthetic for our wedding. I wish we had signed on with her right from the beginning and utilized her design services as well as her attention to detail is unmatched. Thank you again for everything!!

Wonderful experience working with Melissa for a recent baby shower. She was helpful, friendly, and went above and beyond. Every detail was accounted for; my guests loved everything! Employing a planner makes hosting an event way less stressful.
