Reviews of Melanie Parent Events (Event Planner)

Matt Anderson

We hired Melanie for style and design, as well as month of/day of coordination, for our wedding in November 2018. She was amazing to work with, and so professional. She really knows the wedding business. We could not be happier with the services she provided. She made our dream wedding a reality, and we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day, knowing she and her assistant Kristen had everything under control. Thanks Melanie!

Kayla Goertzen

Melanie's organization skills and attention to details made us feel like we were in great hand throughout the wedding planning process. She went above and beyond to ensure the wedding ran smoothly. As a bride, there's so many components/decisions to think about during planning, hiring Melanie as a coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made. She took care of the small details or reminded us of things we needed to consider; all things that I would have overlooked without her. She made our special day stress-free! I would definitely recommend Melanie Parent Events to any bride!

As a wedding photographer I always love working with Melanie and her team! She’s incredible with her clients and ensures that each event is a huge success! Friendliness, communication, and attention to detail are key - Melanie Parent Events meets all of these and more! Esther Funk Photography

Gianna Minenna

As owner of Hawthorn Estates- wedding and event venue, we really appreciated Kristina’s organization and professionalism during a recent wedding at our establishment. Fun and easy to work with, we look forward to having Melanie Parent and her team back at our venue!

Kelsey Williamson

From a vendor's perspective, Melanie is incredibly helpful at a wedding. She kept us in the loop of any changes and really sought to understand how she could serve us best. Not once did I have to ask a scheduling question to the couple! Melanie goes above and beyond and I'd love to have her at every wedding I film!

Stephanie Sawatzky

Melanie is amazing to work with. She is incredibly passionate about ensuring everything is perfect on your special day. She was organized, and so prompt at returning any questions. It's always such a pleasure to work with her and above all is so much fun ❤️.

Melanie is an experienced and amazing planner! She executed a phenomenal wedding here at Starlit Point the past weekend with dozens of different vendors, yet she remained very organized, punctual and detail oriented throughout the entire process. Looking forward to work with her again in the future!

Hiring Melanie Parent Events was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. Melanie was an incredible asset to all aspects of our wedding, from meeting with vendors, answering all our questions and finally-and most importantly organizing everything for the set-up of our wedding (which was a 3 day process for a tent wedding on private property). Melanie was professional, uber organized and allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams without worrying about a single thing on the day of. If you are debating hiring a wedding planner for your wedding- as we were, I cannot stress enough that you should absolutely 100% hire Melanie. Our only regret is that we didn't hire her sooner.

Starlit Point

I have had the opportunity to work with Melanie Parent Events at two recent weddings. In both cases I found the personnel (both Melanie and her lead co-ordinator Kristina) to be personable and professional. I appreciate their attention to detail. As an officiant, I find it gratifying to know that there is someone other than the couple with whom I can work with and troubleshoot so that the couple can relax and enjoy their big day. Melanie and Kristina are more than capable in this regard. I also appreciated their demeanor in working with couples and the respectful way I was treated as a fellow vendor. I look forward to opportunities to work with Melanie Parent Events in the future.

Reanne Berard

I am a photographer in the wedding industry and have worked with several planners. I have worked with Melanie a couple times now but most recently on a wedding for a lovely couple. The wedding was so stunning, I can not tell you enough how organized, smooth and flawless it ran all due to Melanie. She is calm, but orderly and has an eye for beauty with a Luxe feel. Perhaps this is why I love working with her she understands classy and chic with a unique feel just like my brand. I hope to work with her a ton in the future. Couples you will not be disappointed! Book her!

Dean Rover

From the moment we met Melanie, we immediately got the sense of professionalism and passion you would want from a wedding planner. We hired her as a day/month of wedding coordinator and cannot stress anymore how integral she was to the success of our wedding. Having to co-ordinate our wedding from out-of-town, we met several times through skype as well as in-person when we happened to be in town. These consultations were instrumental as it allowed us to both set a schedule and coordinate a task list for both herself and the bride & groom. Melanie is a fantastic person to work with, her calm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease during the final days leading up to the wedding. The wedding day itself turned out perfect and we could not have asked for anything different. Melanie, thank you so much for giving us both the wedding of our dreams.

Jessy Pesce

I am an officiant and I worked with Melanie at a wedding in November 2021. Melanie was fun, friendly and great to work with. She made sure everything went smoothly at the rehearsal and on the day of the wedding. She was incredibly professional and was able to roll with the punches even though there was a huge snowstorm and we needed to push back the wedding a bit to wait for guests. It was a perfect ceremony and I loved working with Melanie and her team! Robyn A Perect Ceremony I Do

Marcelo Cohen

Melanie was pleasant to work with and she was very detail oriented.When I sent her an e-mail about the wedding couple I would receive a response the same day.The week of the wedding Melanie sent out a detailed time sheet to all the vendors.Just to make sure everyone new what was going on..Broadway Florists hopes to work with her again in the future.

Ron Roy

Hiring Melanie as our day/month of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. Being a pretty type A person myself, I knew I needed someone who would be on the ball with making sure everything went smoothly and perfectly and Melanie was perfect for the job. From our first meeting, her light, friendly, easygoing demeanour made us feel 100% confident in her abilities and she didn't disappoint at all during the entire process. As the wedding day approached, she played a huge role in coordinating our many vendors and taking all of that stress off of us, and at the wedding itself, my husband and I said over and over to each other "wow, thank goodness we hired Melanie"... it truly is an awesome feeling after ALL that planning (and all that money spent) to feel like a guest and to be able to just enjoy your own wedding and Melanie was a huge part of that for us. Many people I've talked to are turned off by the extra cost of a coordinator, but this expense was truly priceless - it felt like a gift to ourselves as we were able to actually soak in what we had worked so hard to plan.. and really, in the grand scheme of things it's a small price to pay to ensure nothing goes wrong. I'd recommend Melanie to any bride & groom who want to be able to just relax and enjoy the day!

Sinan Leylek

Choosing Melanie as our wedding planner was by far the best decision we made with our wedding. We hired Melanie in 2019, with hopes of a 2020 wedding. Little did we know, she was about to walk us through some pretty difficult times. Melanie was both the professional planner we needed to keep us on track and a compassionate, understanding friend who helped us make the tough decisions during the pandemic. The title wedding planner almost doesn’t do justice to the experience we had working with her. With all of the ever-changing restrictions and postponing, she handled all of the details, including communication with all of our vendors, and made sure we knew she was always taking care of us. When it finally came time for our 2021 wedding, everything came together so perfectly, and we know we couldn’t have done it without her. I would 100% recommend Melanie Parent to anyone planning a wedding. You will not regret it!

Matthew Dyck

My partner and I were engaged for six months and were overwhelmed with wedding planning. We had no idea where to start, were getting discouraged and almost gave up on the idea of having a wedding. A friend of ours suggested we connect with Melanie. Our meeting with Melanie was super helpful. She was responsive and approachable, got us back on track and excited about getting married! She helped understand what our options were, what costs to expect, and the process as a whole. Planning an event of this size is not something that just anyone can do (we certainly couldn’t); we recommend speaking with these professional planners so that you can simply enjoy your special day. Thank you for your help Melanie!!

Eric Ballard

As a wedding videographer, I have worked with Melanie on more than a few occasions. It's always a pleasure working with her, with how easy going and organized she is. She always is one step ahead to make the day go as smoothly as possible. I hope to be working with her again soon in the near future.

John Larmie

I own a catering company and have worked with Melanie on several different events. It's always a pleasure working with her, she is such a professional, super organized, great communicator, and just overall a great human! I always look forward to working with Melanie.

Spark Rentals

Had a great time working with Melanie! She's One of the best in the business!

Jenna Olivier

We are Jessy & Brandon of Bows & Lavender, a photography duo based in Ontario with a focus on capturing emotional and candid storytelling. We had the absolute pleasure of working with Melanie and her team at the Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg. As a photo team that was new to Winnipeg, Melanie was incredibly helpful and we felt so grateful to have her help and expertise. Working together felt so natural and was only made better by getting to know her throughout the process. Thank you Melanie (and team) for your professionalism, absolute stellar creativity and above all your beautiful & kind hearts. Until next time!

Jamil Williams

My husband and I hired Melanie for day of coordination, and I'm so so happy we did!! Melanie was my godsend. I had started the planning process but couldn't figure out how to get it all physically done, which is where Melanie came in! I was in daily contact with her for the six weeks leading up to the wedding, sometimes with the most basic concerns, sometimes to vent and ask for advice, and after every conversation my stress level went way down. She took my vision and made it come to life! She knew exactly how to handle every issue that came up, no matter what it was. Her timeline ensured that everything flowed smoothly, amd she and her assistant Kristina seemed to be everywhere at once to make sure it did so. I was not stressed at all on our wedding day, as I didn't have to worry about decorating the venue, about vendors arriving on time, or ensuring everything was perfect. Our wedding was beautiful and I can't thank Melanie enough!!

Amanda Langtry

Melanie and Kristina went above and beyond to make our wedding planning smooth and easy. They were professional, offered great suggestions that can only come from experience in this industry, and kept us on track. We used their services for the 'month of', and I don't know what we would have done without them. Our DJ (from what we thought was a reputable company) didn't show up for our ceremony due to "car troubles". What could have been an absolute nightmare for us was handled behind the scenes without us knowing until a plan had been formulated by Kristina. She was quick thinking and had the songs downloaded and hooked up to the sound system with very little delay. she problem solved VERY quickly, saving us a lot of stress. This in itself was worth the money!! Although there was SO much more that she provided throughout the course of the day . My husband, who was initially skeptical about the investment, was the first to say how happy he was hiring Melanie Parent Events when we reminisced about the wedding the next day. If you are on the fence about a wedding planner, JUST DO IT!!! It's well worth being able to enjoy the wedding you've spent so much time on. And these ladies are the best.

Esther Funk

As a fellow wedding vendor Melanie and her team is always amazing to work with! So much fun and so professional! They are very hands on from planing up to the wedding proper, Definitely always recommended! Love this pips!

Anna Hatton

We had the pleasure of working with Melanie Parent this wedding season. She was exceptionally organized and always close by and available to answer any of our uncertainties, so it was very easy to keep things organized with our band members and DJ.

Julie Pritchard

We hired Melanie as our Day-Of Coordinator... and it was money well-spent! It was important to my wife and I (both being Type A personalities) to have our day well-orchestrated and seamlessly coordinated, and Melanie was absolutely the right choice for our special day! Melanie was very professional leading up to the wedding and asked all of the right questions about the details that would have been easy to miss (and always had suggestions when we were unsure of what we should do.) She dealt with all the hiccups we could have predicted (and especially the ones we couldn't) that come with planning and executing a wedding, leaving us with no regrets. Melanie and her staff handled themselves with class in every situation and scenario leading up to and including the wedding day. We knew we didn't need to worry about the schedule or details on that day because we knew we had Melanie and that made all the difference in the world to us!

Amanda Chau

I recently had the pleasure of working with Melanie and team as a wedding vendor, navigating through the COVID-19 regulations and changes that our wedding couple were experiencing. As the wedding florist, I found Melanie to be extremely professional to work with, always in touch with regulation changes and updates at a very confusing and chaotic time. Our couple will also very happy with her services as well! I look forward to working with Melanie again and adding her to my roster of trusted wedding planners in Winnipeg!!

Deanna Murray

We love working with Melanie Parent Events. Her and Kristina are always so organized and their attention to detail is wonderful!

Erin Ward

Melanie worked with us for over a year to create our vision and make our day perfect. She is easy to work with, flexible, very attentive to detail and is easy to get in touch with. She is very talented at what she does and will be with you every step of the way. She knows the ins and outs of the wedding business and is creative and passionate about her work. We give the highest recommendation for anyone looking for a planner!

Sir Luc and the Dukes

Melanie is friendly, industrious, professional, and isn't happy until the client is happy! A delight to work with.

Curtis Moore

Melanie made planning our big wedding so easy. During the year and a half process with her, we did not stress once. People always commented on how calm and chill I was whenever I would talk about the upcoming day and I always responded with “it’s because of our wedding planner, Melanie!” She really understood what we wanted and brought us the absolute best vendor options for our vision, budget and personalities. She planned and attended all of our meetings with our vendors and answered any questions we had and gave great recommendations for details we wouldn’t have even thought of. She brought our vision to life and the day of was absolutely perfect.

Josh Sloane

Organized, informative and detail oriented, Melanie is an awesome wedding planner to work with. She makes it easy for us to just come and do our job without hassle! We would work with her again in a heartbeat. - Karen and Luminous String Quartet

Laura Murdoch Mc Mahon

We have worked with Melanie Parent Events a number of times. Mel and her team are always on top of even the smallest details to make the events run smoothly. We love working with Melanie Parent Events.

Maggi Brooker

We got married on Sunday and were beyond thrilled with Melanie and her team's organization and attention to detail. The wedding was a blast and we have heard nothing but good things from everyone we spoke to (literally). Highly recommend. Thanks again!

Todd Honcharik

I cannot recommend Melanie for your special day enough! She was so great to work with! Very responsive, very organized and was available as a sounding board for any of our planning questions. Our big day was everything we had imagined and more. Having Melanie available to deal with all of the logistical details meant we could just sit back and enjoy the party!

Corey Jonasson

As a wedding photographer, I'm lucky to get a front row seat of every wedding I photograph... from start to finish. They can be stressful to say the least, LOL! When I photograph a wedding planned by Melanie and her team, there is no stress... it's all fun and a pure treat to photograph. She works very hard to ensure the day runs smoothly for all of the vendors, guests and especially the couple. The couples who work with Melanie, seem to be happier couples on their wedding day. I highly recommend her and the Melanie Parent team! Curtis from Moore Photography

Emily Wood

I am a Marriage Commissioner in Manitoba and in June 2018 I got to work for the first time with wedding planner Kristina, Melanie Parent Events. Kristina was a wonderful partner to work with at the rehearsal — giving the wedding party their cues so each would know when to start the walk in at the ceremony. On the wedding day and before the ceremony started it was obvious as to how on top of all details she was. Kristina has an infectious smile and was always positive. I look forward to working with her again.

The Flower House Wpg

Easy and friendly to work with! Prompt replies to calls and emails helps us ensure our work for her clients is done accurately.

Ken Gavina

Both Melanie and Kristina were amazing !!! I would recommend their services to absolutely everyone. I was beyond pleased with how attentive and amazing both of them were when explaining my dream wedding. Kristina pulled off every single detail and was there to support me the entire night. THANKYOU

Monique Pantel

Excellent service. Melanie really takes charge of the annoying parts of wedding planning, and on the wedding day, she goes from place to place setting everything up. As a customer, you don't even think twice about any of the setup - you just trust that Melanie will take care of it because she's just that good. All it takes is like 2 meetings or so throughout the planning, and cc'ing her on all the vendor communications, and she takes it from there. Highly recommended! Just do it.

Chris Hueser

Melanie was a joy to work with! She addressed any and all of our questions and concerns very promptly and was very approachable and friendly. The event was beautiful as well. I was one of the videographers at the wedding and I hope that I am able to work with Melanie again in the future.

Tammy Belanger

My wife and I used Melanie for our Day Of wedding coordination. Don't let the "Day Of" title fool you...Melanie helps out with so much along the way. From coordinating all of our vendors to even bringing spare umbrellas to our wedding in case it rained, Melanie went above and beyond our expectations. There were many things we didn't thinking of that Melanie brought to our attention that helped shape the program of our day. Every time we met with her she brought us a sense of relief to us that our day was going to go smoothly. If you want to plan your own wedding, but need some extra help I would definitely recommend Melanie's Day Of services!

Joanne Rutaquio

Melanie is the most incredibly professional, kind, considerate, detailed wedding planner I've ever had the pleasure of working with. She is attentive and makes wedding day dreams come true. I would give her one hundred stars, if I could. Incredibly talented and the MOST recommended!

Stefanie Chartier

We hired Melanie for Day of Coordination for our July 2018 Wedding. Melanie was amazing to work with and was so organized throughout the entire process. It allowed my wife and I to be much more relaxed during our wedding, as we knew that Melanie and her assistant were taking care of everything. I would highly recommend hiring Melanie and her team for your wedding/event - you will not regret it! Thanks again MPE for everything - you were fantastic!!

Lauren Calahan

As a wedding photographer working with Melanie always makes for an amazing day. Her couples are always prepared, don’t have anything to stress about and have the best times! She helps create the most gorgeous weddings for her couples. She also makes sure fellow vendors are taken care of and enjoy the day. We always look forward to working along side her and her team.

Alexis Hildebrand

Melanie Parent was organizing a wedding that we were filming and I have to say that it was one of the easiest days we've ever had. Though she couldn't control the 40 degree heat, Melanie did everything to ensure that the day ran smoothly. She made cold water accessible to all of the guests and the wedding party and kept everything running on smoothly. We got to watch her run the rehearsal and it gave us so much confidence to see her have control over what can be a stressful day. We hope to work with her again and will definitely be recommending her to our couples.

Davis & Caroline Bricker

Melanie Parent Events is my new favourite event planning company! As a photographer and videographer, it is very important that the planner is organized, professional, easy to work with, and good with communication. Melanie is all of these things, and more. She went out of her way to make sure I was able to do my job properly. Her assistant was so nice and helpful too. I highly recommend Melanie Parent Events for your event planning needs!

Deb Tycholiz

Melanie was wonderful to work with and really made the entire planning experience more enjoyable. She gave us the peace of mind knowing that a professional was there to help guide us, she truly cared about our day and she always made sure we felt supported. I would definitely recommend her to our family and friends.

Jeffrey Gordon

I booked Melanie for a full year planning service for my wedding this summer 2018 and words can't even describe how amazing her services were! Melanie was on time, focused, organized and so friendly. She was so knowledgeable about planning a wedding I was blown away. There were so many ideas that she had, that I had no idea I needed to do when planning a wedding. Lets just say, she made our wedding day that best day of our lives and stress free! Thank you Mel! You're amazing xo

Gosia Sawicka Fazio

Melanie is a joy to work with! She and her team are organized and efficient. Having a wedding planner who is in control of the days events is a MUST and Melanie does just that. We would whole-heartedly recommend!

Melanie Speirs

Hiring Melanie Parent Events for our wedding was one of the best decisions we have made! Melanie has provided guidance throughout our entire planning process and she played a pivotal part in guiding my fiancé and I through the difficult process of postponing our 2020 wedding due to COVID-19. MPE is professional, reliable and quick to respond to the needs of her clients. Please do yourself a favor and hire on MPE as your wedding planner- you'll be thankful that you did!

Adam Pukalo

Melanie Parent Events was our wedding planner for our wedding this past weekend on August 12th. We hired Melanie for style and design along with month of day of coordination. Our experience with Melanie was beyond what we could have asked for. She made our day so special and we did not have to worry about a thing. Herself and her assistant went above and beyond what their duties were. Even when they had left for the evening if something went wrong they stepped up and fixed it. I would recommend Melanie Parent Events to all brides that are looking for a loyal, honest, trustworthy and dedicated planner on their special day. We can't thank her enough for her help! Mr & Mrs. Williamson :)

Evan Bloomfield

Having Melanie as our wedding coordinator, was hands down such a blessing and SO worth it. My husband and I enjoyed a beautiful outdoor tent wedding on my parents property. Melanie made sure we had every detail thought of and prepared for, I very much appreciated the very detailed timeline she informed all our vendors of. She helped create detailed checklists so every one knew what to do and when. She made sure the day ran seamlessly and on a timely manner! Not once did I or my husband need to check the clock or worry what came next or who was doing what. Melanie, thank you!! You kept this bride stress free leading up to and on our wedding day!

Carina Fiorentino

We were one of the couples who decided to postpone our wedding in the first quarter of 2020 due to COVID-19. We were just about to start brainstorming about how we would design a beautiful wedding when we had to postpone. Needless to say, it was difficult to even think about continuing the planning process a few months later after all the stress we endured. We are so happy that we hired Melanie to assist us with the Style and Design process. She truly listened to our wants and provided us with a beautifully designed package which incorporated everything that we had discussed. We cannot wait to see how it will all come together at our wedding in May. Thanks Melanie!

Renée El-Gabalawy

Thanks Melanie Parent Events for organizing our wedding ceremony and reception. The timeline was very well done! Our wedding will not be successful without you! Bravo!

Jasmine Brunet

My Husband and I had the pleasure of working with Melanie Parent twice. We first met Melanie when she was the wedding planner for our cousins wedding. She did such a great job planning and styling the wedding, her attention to detail was excellent. We recently got married out of town, and knew we had to hire Melanie. She organized the ceremony and reception, she kept everything on time and running smoothly , and most importantly stress and worry-free. We wouldn't have had it any other way. We can't wait to work with her again in a couple months at our next family wedding.

Michele Pitre

Melanie was great to work with. She is an experienced and amazing planner. She offered great suggestions for our proposal event and executed the vision perfectly to create a truly special moment. Loved working with her!

Sheryl Hunnie

I met Melanie at a wedding I was hired to photograph, and as a vendor I really appreciated her commitment to detail, timeliness, and organization! I loved that she reached out before the event, shared details of the day and a timeline before I even arrived. She made sure the day not only ran on time, but beautifully, too! Amazing organization and incredibly personable - I would recommend her to any couples looking for someone to plan their perfect day, and she was a joy to work with.

Jorden Arbour

We have worked with Melanie Parent Events Planning multiple times for different events and have had a wonderful experience every time. She is very organized and detailed which is so important in the industry. Her creativity has been inspiring and we look forward to many more events together in the future. Great vendor-planner relationship!

Kathleen Nelson

Melanie and her team are a pure joy to work with and I can't recommend their services enough! As another local wedding vendor I'm always happy to share clients with her, she does a wonderful job at binging her couple's vision to life while orchestrating their day flawlessly.

Michelle Blais

I have had the pleasure to work with Melanie a few times. I remember the first time I got to work with her I was very pretty excited to be able to work with one of thee best in the business. Melanie always has a smile on her face and is very professional. When my couples ask for references for event planners Melanie is one I will always recommend. You are in good hands when you work with Melanie. Deb A Perfect Ceremony I Do!

Myralie Sanchez

We love working with Mel on events. She is friendly, organized and always has a smile on her face. I highly recommend her services!!

Deborah Son

Melanie is an amazing wedding planner! I'm a photographer and every time I get the chance to work with Melanie, I consider myself SO lucky. Not only is she super organized, you'll fall in love with her personality! She's the best of the best.

Alareen Doherty

Hiring Melanie Parent Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. We were living in Vancouver and had to plan our Winnipeg wedding from afar and Mel was the sole reason that this could happen. She went above and beyond in every respect - from visiting vendors on our behalf to accommodating our busy schedules and arranging face time meetings early in the AM or late in the evenings. My husband and I always said that Mel made us feel like we were her only wedding (despite the fact she had dozens of others simultaneously on the go). She always made us feel like we were her number one priority by, for example, remembering every single detail of our vision and always being one step ahead in planning. She is incredibly organized, efficient, creative and is extremely kind and easy to work with. Several vendors went out of their way to say how lucky we were to be working with Mel. To us, this spoke volumes because not only do her clients rave about her but she is also highly respected in the industry - a true testament to the quality of her company. We were so impressed by her, we hired her to plan our rehearsal dinner as well. The entire weekend was a dream come true - but importantly the weekend did not come without some hiccups that were beyond anyone’s control (e.g., unpredictable weather changes, last minute guest cancellations, toddler flower girls gone rogue etc) but Mel managed everything so well that you would have never known anything was awry (and saved my husband and I any stress). We were also impressed by her assertiveness on the day of our wedding - she ensured it was the best day of our lives and was our voice so we could just enjoy every minute. Hiring Melanie Parent Events was the best money we spent for our wedding day. We also saved a substantial amount of money by using several of her recommended vendors (who were all excellent). We assure you that you will be blown away by the quality of her services. We will be definitely hiring her company for all our future social events.

deanna docouto

I had the pleasure of working alongside Melanie for a recent wedding I was photographing, and I can say nothing but good things. She helped ensure that the wedding day ran smoothly, and was a much appreciated asset that allowed me to focus on simply capturing the day. Melanie was extremely personable and friendly, and I hope to be able to work alongside her again. If you're on the fence about hiring a planner, I would definitely recommend hiring Melanie for your event.

Jonathan Alexiuk

Melanie's service and expertise made the wedding planning process stress free and fun! Thank you so much!!!

Jill Demianiw

We decided to bring Melanie in as our Wedding Coordinator following our first postponement in 2020 due to the pandemic. We are so happy with the decision to invest in her as our planner. Her guidance and support through navigating postponements and planning during uncertain times has been an extremely positive experience. It's definitely not ideal to plan a wedding with so many unknowns, twists and turns. Melanie's patience and honest communication has allowed us the confidence to stick with it and keep optimistic about future plans. But also advising us to keep in mind realistic expectations and potential elements that could impact the vision of our day. I'd highly recommend her as a planner, especially for any couples navigating wedding plans through 2021 and beyond. Like many other couples, we don't know what the future may hold for our wedding during these times. But we know when that day comes, we're in great company with Melanie and team!

Grace Lozano

Melanie has the designers eye, keen timekeeping skills and is a true professional. Perhaps more importantly, she sets forth an incredibly positive and upbeat atmosphere as she ensures all vendors have what they need and are in the loop. She's a true gem! We know the @MindscapeStudios team will be having a great day when Melanie Parent is involved. Awesome human being! Book this lady.

TONY'S TEAM TRANSPORT

Melanie was absolutely a life saver. She was a pro at evolving our plans with the ever changing public health orders. When plans changed two weeks before the wedding, she was able to create the most beautiful room for us with such short notice. She was always extremely responsive and kept us on track for the big day. Would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. Couldn’t have done it without her!

krista greenwood

Melanie is always very organized and a pleasure to work with. She provides us with an amazingly detailed itinerary of event day so we know what our time window is for delivery and set-up. When we get to the venue, everything is ready for us to do our thing, so there is no confusion.

Julie-Anne McCarthy

Mel has been an absolute pleasure to work with! We hired her for a Style and Design Package and the results were outstanding!! She took our vision and really made it come to life perfectly and we couldn’t be happier! From the small details and beyond, she never missed a beat!! For anyone needing a little guidance or extra support putting all their ideas and vision together, I would highly recommend Melanie Parent Events!

Brittany Pedreira

I've worked with both Paige and Melanie and they're excellent communicators. When coordinating event details I can confidently know they have the details taken care of and will solve any issues that may arise. They're always a fun team to collaborate with!

Mark I

Melanie is a great planner to work with. I've worked with her on numerous occasions through the lighting company I work for and in all instances she has been fantastic!

Costa Cholakis

Melaine is a total pro, she is organized, extremely detailed oriented, and always on top of her game. I love working with her as a vendor and I wouldn't hesitate to send a bride her way!

Hailey Tworek

From a wedding vendor perspective, hearing my couples say they hired Melanie as their planner is a comforting thing. I've had the pleasure to work with Melanie in two events now and both have been stress free and with great results. She prepares thoroughly, much in advance and communicates them well to the people involved. Weddings are overwhelming, busy and full of surprises. Melanie gives you that peace of mind that you'll be taken care of.

Danielle Podaima

Melanie & her team are lovely and professional. Always a pleasure to hear I'll be working with them on a wedding day. Clients say nothing by good things about them as well. Looking forward to the next one :)

Dylann Bobei

Melanie is serious about her work, but still has fun. She is so passionate about what she does - you can tell from beginnign to end while working with her. From email correspondence all the way through to the end of the wedding day, Melanie is a pleasure to work with. I hope to photograph another wedding that she is planning!

Jillian Rumore

Melanie Parent and her team were amazing to work with for our July 2018 wedding. We hired Melanie and her team for Day of Coordination and it completely allowed both myself and my husband to relax knowing that things would be taken care of! We met with Melanie twice before our wedding going through to do lists and the schedule of our day both breaking down tasks. At both meetings Melanie was organized and able to go through all my concerns and items for our wedding day. Melanie attended our rehearsal the night before the wedding and she was able to keep things organized for us as well as get items ready for the next day. On the day of the wedding Melanie was organized, prompt and efficient. She responded quickly to my phone call and a couple of texts when we had a few missing items. Melanie was quick to find a solution and that it wasn’t a problem at all! I was seriously able to relax and enjoy the day because I knew that she would take care of things! When we had some last minute changes, moments before our reception began, Melanie was patient and totally worked with it. Melanie and her assistant Kristina, were invaluable to us on our wedding day. I was the most relaxed person that day, and I am not usually a relaxed person as many close friends and family members would be quick to mention. Hiring Melanie Parent Events allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the day. I would completely recommend and suggest hiring Melanie Parent Events if you are thinking of Day of Coordination. Thank you Melanie!!

Melanie and her team were absolutely the most professional, and kind people we worked with on the day of our wedding. Every detail was under close eye all while all our friends and family were assisted with grace with whatever their needs were. I can not stress how essential Mel was to the success and consistency of our day. We hired her for a full planning experience. As a bride - I did not have to think about when a payment was due or when a vendor meeting was booked. We were given multiple timelines to keep us on track and our monthly meetings were efficient and relevant. In a wedding there is a constant evolution of things that come together and she was so incredible with guiding us to ensure our day was truly how we wanted it to represent us all while finding us some deals with her vendor relations. Unbelievable service and we wouldn't think twice about having her plan any other event in our future. Thank you again Mel for being amazing at what you do and for being an unbelievably giving person. Your heart and soul goes into everything and it does not go unnoticed. THANK YOU!!!!

Choosing Melanie Parent to help us plan our wedding was by far the best decision we ever made! Given our busy schedules, we booked the full planning service, and from our very first meeting to the big day, Melanie 100% exceeded our expectations. Not only did she plan the day of our dreams with such grace, patience, and ingenuity, but she is an all-around awesome person and pleasure to work with! We highly recommend her!
