Your Planner, Melissa

A Sustainable, Intentional Approach

Inspired by her mother, a true logistician, her father, a copper artist, and the creative, community-oriented environment she grew up in, Melissa developed a passion for bringing artistic vision to life in the world of event planning. She recognized that coordinating and designing events requires a similar attention to detail, creativity, and conceptual thinking as traditional artistry. Just as artists create custom pieces tailored to their clients’ desires, Melissa personalizes each event to reflect the unique vision of her clients, turning their ideas into beautifully executed occasions.

MORE ABOUT MELISSA 
Words from HAPPY Couples

  • “Fantastic experience with Melissa and we will be eternally grateful to her for our fabulous wedding!

    We could not ask for anything more. Our family and friends were also impressed with the ceremony, the reception and the entire team Melissa brought to execute our big day.

    We were planning our wedding during an already stressful time, having to move out of state. Melissa was very attentive to our needs, and has extensive experience and connections, making the wedding more beautiful than we could have imagined. Her creative vision really brought out what we could not clearly articulate. She also made our wedding unique and classy. She listened to us, and it was just a joy to meet with her with throughout the process.

    Would recommend 100%. Thank you so much!!”

    — Heather & Stephan O., Bride and Groom

  • “Melissa is amazing! She guided us through the planning and execution of a beautiful wedding ceremony and reception.

    Throughout the planning process Melissa was attentive, responsive, and incredibly kind and supportive. Her experience was evident from the first meeting and made things extremely easy for us throughout. Having Melissa at the ceremony and reception took any burden off of us (bride and groom) and allowed us to fully enjoy the time with our friends and family. I highly recommend Melissa and Be YOUnique Events!”

    — Clay D., Groom

  • "I had many difficulties with my wedding reception venue and communication, but Melissa was there to close the gaps.

    Melissa was excellent. She was attentive and paid close attention to details. She helped plan and structure the final touches on our wedding. Everything looked amazing and its all thanks to her making sure our vision came true! Our wedding ended with a medical emergency unfortunately, but Melissa was there the entire time even helping with that! Even after the wedding, Melissa still reached out to ensure my family was okay! She is not only a great coordinator, but also a kind soul that truly cares about her clients and their families!”

    — Dayanna C., Bride

  • "We're so happy that Melissa agreed to be our Event Planner for this event! She was professional, responsive, creative, and thorough - all the characteristics that define an amazing planner!

    We recently partnered with Be YOUnique Events on a styled shoot and vendor networking event. We wanted to showcase an event that was exciting and more engaging than your typical wedding/bridal showcase. Melissa helped us bring our vision to life and even thought of many details we weren't considering to improve the experience for everyone. We 100% recommend Melissa and her team and we will gladly share her information with our clients. Thank you Melissa!”
