Reviews of Melissa Twist Events (Event Planner)

Ania Wazny (Ania Wazny Creative)

I have worked in the wedding industry for nearly a decade and I have never worked with a planner as organized, and most importantly responsive as Melissa. Her communication was always clear and prompt and she went above and beyond to make sure all the vendors were on the same page, knew where to be and when well in advance. I would recommend Melissa to anyone of my brides and will gladly use her services on my own wedding day. If you’re still thinking about it, stop right now and book Melissa. You will NOT regret it :)

We initially hired Melissa to be our day-of coordinator, but ended up utilizing her much more than expected and it was incredibly worth it. She's sweet, incredibly organized, super chill and calming and was overall just an extreme pleasure to work with. Our wedding was perfect from start to finish and we were able to trust her completely. Would highly recommend!

I can't say enough great things about Melissa. She was cool, calm and collected the entire time, and dove in wherever she thought help was needed. She in turn kept us calm. We felt like we were in good hands leading up to and during our wedding. Our venue host passed on similar feedback about Melissa, expressing they were eager to work with her again. Melissa's expertise also proved incredibly helpful in the weeks leading up to our day.

Our dream wedding became a reality this weekend thanks to Melissa Twist Events wedding service! Melissa was so amazing with helping me plan my wedding day. I used her for both wedding planning and as my florist. I live in Toronto and Melissa helped me set up meetings with vendors when I was in town and with setting up phone calls or video conferences when I could not be in town. I tend to lack attention to details and Melissa helped me to remember those little details and with last minute plans, such as help with booking a limousine and a photo booth. My wedding day was so amazing and almost stress-free. Melissa and her team decorated so well that the venue looked even better than I could have imagined.

Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the beginning stages until the day of we were able to have complete faith in her. Having a wedding at a private venue was A LOT of work and she stepped up at every challenge we faced offering the perfect solution. We could not have had the day we did without her. Thanks to Melissa our wedding day was stress-free and everything went perfectly. HIGHLY recommend!

Melissa made the entire wedding planning process so smooth and stress free. She thought of everything! We would have been left scrambling last minute if it wasn't for her amazing advice. She was there the entire night, making sure everything went as planned. Thank you again!

We wanted to send you a quick note to say thank you so much for coordinating our wedding day. You were so in control, you advocated for us, you took care of not only us but also our families, you brought my brief to life, you made the place look better than I ever could have imagined, you even made sure people took home honey and blankies! And you probably did 1000 other things that I don’t even know about because you never came to me with questions! Thank you so much. I will recommend you to everyone I meet in Collingwood!

Melissa went above and beyond as our day of wedding coordinator! She worked so hard and did everything to make our day flawless. She stepped in when other vendors failed (although I didn't find out until the next day!) and I really cannot thank her enough. Melissa is at heart an organizer and her attention to detail (seriously, she thought of things we never would've!) is what really pulled us through and made our wedding so amazing. I highly recommend Melissa for your event! She is definitely the person you want advocating on your behalf so you can focus on other things. I trusted her completely to handle our wedding and she definitely exceeded our expectations.

Melissa was such a great help in coordinating and decorating on the day of for our wedding. We had a few last minute hiccups and she handled them all before I even knew about them. Would definitely recommend Melissa for any planning and coordinating for your event!

Meghan Brennan

My husband and I hired Melissa to be our day of coordinator. We were hesitant at first on whether this was an necessary expense but are so happy they we decided to go ahead. Melissa provided valuable advice leading up to our wedding, helped us ensure our run sheets were completed and contacted all of our vendors prior to our wedding. On the day of, she worked very hard to ensure the day ran smoothly and on time. We had a couple of issues with shuttle buses and a torrential down pour as guests arrived for our outdoor wedding but Melissa handled it all. We highly recommend Melissa. She is professional, responsive, exceptionally well organized, conscientious and reliable. Everything you would want in a planner!

Incredible! That was the experience I had with Melissa Twist when we hired her to plan our son's Engagement Party. Not only was Melissa a true professional to work with but she also managed to create a beautiful, unique and welcoming atmosphere for our guests. From sourcing fabulous caterers to finding flowers to booking the party rentals, Melissa took care of it all. She removed all the stress out of party planning and turned it into the event of the year! Melissa also suggested the fine, creative details that put the event over the top. The Guests of Honour were completely amazed and our guests had the best time. They STILL talk about that party! Needless to say, I owe all the success of this event to Melissa Twist Events. Thank you, Melissa! You created magic that day!

Melissa planned our wedding and we cannot say enough positive things! From start to finish she was amazingly professional and easy to collaborate with. She brought our vision to life, took away the stress the day of so we could fully enjoy our big day, and even discreetly got us out of the venue so we could take our sunset pictures :). I would recommend her to anyone who is newly engaged and wants their event to be a cut above and one to remember for years to come.Thank you so much!! Claire & Andrew

Melissa planned the Grand Opening Celebration for my shop. It was everything I had hoped for. Being a busy gal, I was having a hard time executing my event vision. Melissa took all my ideas, organized them and made them happen! I can't thank her enough, and can't wait to plan the next PARTY!

Alison Hawes

Melissa helped my husband and I plan some of the details for our wedding. I really wish we had hired her from the beginning as she was able to make the planning process so easy and stress free. If you're on the fence about whether or not you think you need a planner, I highly recommend going for it as it makes such a big difference. Melissa is honestly the best to work with. Thanks Melissa!!

Melissa helped us plan our backyard engagement party. We were unsure of what to expect with planning a large event during the middle of a pandemic especially with restrictions that were constantly changing. She made planning our event completely stress free and the process was very smooth. She thought of everything including ways to ensure guests felt comfortable to setting up cute hand sanitizing stations. She listened to our ideas for decor and executed them beautifully. We can't thank her enough for such a great day! Melissa was wonderful to work with since she is very organized, dedicated, caring and creative. I highly recommend Melissa for all of your events!
