Everyone needs Melanie at their wedding!!! As a bride who is in the wedding industry, I have worked with a lot of wedding vendors and I knew when it was my time to be a bride, Melanie Voros with Blissful Beginning was an absolute must. Melanie was always so patient, positive, understanding and optimistic during the entire planning process. My husband Pat and I continually changed our wedding plans due to COVID-19 – I think at one point we were on Plan D… Melanie was always a phone call away and always geared up to go with whatever new plan I was throwing at her that day. Melanie was always a phone call/text away which was so helpful when I had a quick question about napkin color, table layout, or just needed some reassurance. Melanie helped us plan our wedding not once but twice, with no questions asked. The week leading up to our wedding, it felt like Melanie was right next to me(even if she wasn’t physically), she was always checking up on me and made sure that I had everythin... Read moreg I needed. During the wedding weekend, I had zero things to stress about because Melanie was on top of everything. I knew that the vendors, logistics and décor setup were completely handled by Melanie, and it was everything and more we could have asked for. Melanie, you are one powerhouse of a wedding planner and we cannot thank you enough & will be eternally grateful for everything you did for us on our wedding day & leading up to it. Xoxo Kendra and Pat

I am a Wedding Violinist based in the New England area and have worked with Melanie on multiple different weddings. She is a dream to work with! She is the most organized wedding planner I have ever worked with. She is also an amazing Wedding Officiant! She is quick to respond to any questions you may have leading up to the event. She is also a very kind person and easy to work with. I highly recommend Blissful Beginnings Wedding & Event Design to anyone looking to plan a special event!

If you are reading this- hire Melanie. Melanie was the best person we could have had working with us. My husband and I had to cancel our April 2020 destination wedding thanks to COVID-19 and we decided that we wanted to get married locally in July 2020, so there was not much time to delay on putting together the wedding dream team and thank goodness Melanie was available. She put together a custom 'micro-wedding' package for us and then got to work recommending the perfect caterer and negotiating the menu and contract, assisting with coordinating all the rentals needed for our backyard wedding, providing her years of experience on everything from timeline and setup to how much alcohol to buy and how to serve the food, and just generally answering all of our questions. Did I mention that all this was done in just 2 months? She rocks. The day of our wedding Melanie hustled around like crazy: picking up our cake, setting up the most beautiful tablescape and creating the perfect ambianc... Read moree while our families focused on getting ready. She even let us borrow things like signs, baskets, candles and lanterns- which was a huge help and money saver. In addition, Melanie was our officiant. Yes, she does that too! Our ceremony was poignant and personal and even my uncle that attended, who is a minister that performs weddings all the time, said that the ceremony was perfect. In summary, Melanie Voros of Blissful Beginnings was the perfect wedding coordinator, especially in a crazy time of shifting rules and guidelines due to COVID-19, and our day would not have gone nearly as well without her. Thank you, Melanie!

Working with Melanie made our wedding planning process go so smoothly. She is a total rockstar and created a dream team of vendors for us that made our wedding weekend go off without a hitch. She not only worked with us to create and design each aspect of our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception, but also was our officiant. She wrote up the most beautiful ceremony for us and worked with us to make sure that it was exactly what we wanted. Melanie is so professional and understanding and a true expert in her field. She does anything necessary to make sure that the bride and groom are stress free throughout the weekend by diffusing any issues that pop up. She even stitched me into my dress when I had an issue with it! She is a jack of all trades and we would highly recommend her! Of all of the amazing vendors we worked with over our two year engagement, Melanie was the all star of our wedding and the most incredible part of our team!

Booking with Blissful Beginning was the best decision we made when planning our wedding!! We were planning our New England wedding from down in DC and Mel made it an absolute breeze to line up every aspect of our wedding. Her help leading up to the wedding, and the day of, made everything so much smoother and easier for us. So thankful for her help!!

Melanie does incredible work and working with her was one of the best decisions we made throughout our planning process. Some highlights of working with her for us - She was always available and responsive and even met with us in person a few times leading up to our big day. We left every conversation with her at ease knowing that we were in good hands. Our actual wedding day was where Melanie really blew us away... She took care of coordinating all of our vendors and making sure our vision came to life. She was always a few steps ahead of us keeping things (and people!) moving so we really got to be present the entire time (small, but meaningful example is that my cool sparkly sneakers just showed up at our table right before the dancing started). In addition to being a rock star coordinator/planner, she also officiated our ceremony. From helping us write the ceremony to actually officiating, she was a true professional. Melanie, thank you for everything! We loved having you be... Read more a part of our day.

My wife and I like to think we throw a pretty good party. We have hosted many over the years. So when our daughter and her fiancée hired Blissful Beginnings, we thought they could have put that money towards something else they could use. It turns out our logic was flawed. The investment in Blissful Beginnings’ services paid huge dividends. This was not only in money eventually saved, but also having the confidence instilled in us by Melanie Voros that she would provide us with the perfect day. She delivered on every level! The best part is you just knew that would be the outcome after the first meeting with her months before the wedding weekend. Melanie listened to what the future bride and groom wanted and provided us with great options, always keeping the budget in mind. She was eventually hired by our daughter’s in-laws to manage the rehearsal dinner for 80+ guests. It was spectacular and so was the wedding! In the final analysis, if you want to know your kids day to be wha... Read moret they want, stay on a reasonable budget, sleep at night, maintain your own marital harmony, just relax and have fun the entire weekend of the festivities...hire Melanie Voros and Blissful Beginnings!

Working with Melanie was hands down the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. I've never met anyone who is so good at what they do and loves it so much as her. My wife and I can't recommend her highly enough. In the months leading up to the wedding, she was so easy to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but Melanie had a timeline of everything that needed to get done (even the little things) and she made sure we were on-schedule. She gave us excellent vendor recommendations (people told us that the food was the best they've had at a wedding, and the band was a huge hit as well!). She was extremely responsive and would even have us send her things we liked from Instagram for inspiration. Every time we got off the phone with her we would look at each other and say "I'm so glad we have Melanie on our team." She kept us on-budget and helped us understand what it was worth it to spend on as we searched for venues, caterers, bands, flowers, and more. Durin... Read moreg the wedding week and weekend, Melanie kept everyone calm and on-task. She made sure all the tents, tables, chairs, etc were delivered on-time and everyone was where they should be. She took care of all the "little things" that we didn't think of and even coordinated our rehearsal. The event was beautiful, and we owe a lot of that to Melanie's tasteful suggestions. (She also let us borrow a lot of her own things like signs and a cake stand.) Melanie was always one or two steps ahead of us on wedding day, and we didn't have to think about where we should be for photos or speeches- we really go to enjoy the day and be present. She was there until the last guest had gone home. I 100% recommend Melanie, and can't imagine how we would have done it without her.

Hiring Melanie was the best decision that I made in the whole wedding process second only to picking the groom. She was amazing and coordinated between all the vendors on the day. She made sure that I thought of everything that might be needed an executed the vision that I had seamlessly. Every vendor that she recommended was perfect and she made sure that everyone from the wedding party to my grandmother was where they needed to be on the day. She even vetted the Best Man speech which he finished writing the morning of. She is basically the Wonder Woman of weddings. if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with her do not hesitate! She will make your day perfect.

Working with Melanie was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. If you haven't considered getting a wedding coordinator, you should absolutely do it! Our wedding day was perfect, and we couldn't have done it without Melanie. She is experienced, thoughtful, and very easy to work with. By the day of our wedding, she was truly part of our family and friends. Outstanding job!

I honestly don't know where to begin! Mel was EASILY the most important aspect of our wedding. I cannot imagine having planned our day without her. Firstly, she has so many amazing contacts in this industry. She recommended a killer band that our guests could not stop talking about. The live band made all the difference in the feel of the reception. She recommended our florist, who made me the most beautiful arrangements that I could ever imagine. She also recommended a rental company for extra things that made the reception perfect, like spot lights, linens, etc. The end result took our breath away. Mel is an amazing planner. She has SO much experience, and that really helped us when we weren't sure about certain decisions. I felt like she guided us the whole way. She spent a lot of time just trying to get to know us so that she could understand our personalities and understand our vision for the wedding. She totally "got" us - her recommendations were always spot on! Her resp... Read moreonsiveness is also amazing. She always got back to me within a day. She was absolutely the most reliable part of our planning. No matter if it was a call, email, text, or smoke signal, I would hear back from her ASAP. She (somehow) remembered everything I told her. On the big day, I even saw some details and thought to myself, "oh yeah, I forgot I asked Mel to do that!!" But the most important thing Mel did for us was give us peace of mind. She came to my house a week before the wedding and picked up all the "stuff" I had been harboring for the wedding. She took it ALL and kept it safe until the big day. It was an incredible relief to be able to enjoy the week approaching the wedding and just get excited. When we got to the reception space, I couldn't believe how it all came together. It's not just about saving us the work, it's about the peace of mind. She is not only a professional, caring wedding planner, but she is also one of the nicest humans I know!

Melanie was an absolute dream of a wedding planner. She was there for us every step of the way, recommending an incredible team of vendors who were all perfection. In the months leading up to the wedding she was always available immediately by text and email, always with a timely and calming :) response. She has an attention to detail that is unparalleled, making sure every little moment and item was perfectly planned and executed. I felt like I could really sit back and enjoy the planning process and more importantly my entire wedding weekend because she was there making sure it was flawless. She is a wonderful person and having her part of our wedding was lovely. I literally cannot say enough good things about her. She is the reason my wedding was perfection and the best money I ever spent. In addition, she is a justice of the peace, and this made having one of our friends officiate much easier for him and for us, she walked us through the entire process of having a well timed and th...

Melanie is amazing!! She was so much fun and easy to work with for our wedding. Through every part of the planning process, Melanie was 5 steps ahead! She allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the wedding weekend without any worry. Everything looked amazing, she literally brought my wedding dream to life! The day went seamlessly and I know this was because of all the hard work she put in to be sure that was the case.

Melanie was a god send, and well worth the money. I don't think I could have kept my sanity if it wasn't for Melanie. She was there with me each step of the way, and made the process of dealing with the hotel (not a small feat), very easy. To the brides to be out there- if you even have a the smallest doubt about hiring Melanie, please feel free to contact me.
