my story

Hi, I am Melissa,

=

What sets me apart is my experience. With 20 years in the industry, I’ve averaged around 20 weddings each season, giving me hands-on knowledge of every detail that goes into a seamless event.

My career began in the event departments of both private and public golf courses, followed by time at a banquet hall and later with a restaurant and event group in Toronto. Ten years ago, I transitioned full-time to Collingwood, starting at Blue Mountain Resort as their Wedding & Social Event Coordinator. For the past decade, I’ve been running my own business, and today, nearly 80% of the weddings I plan take place on private properties—where creativity, logistics, and expertise matter most. You can see my work experience here.

I have experience planning weddings at ALL of the local venues.

I ONLY take on one wedding per day, ensuring my full attention is dedicated to your wedding day. I will be on-site throughout your wedding day, and together we can decide closer to the date the level of support you’d like me to provide.

What You Can Expect When Working with Melissa

I accommodate your schedule

Many of my clients are balancing busy careers, families, and travel. I offer flexible meeting times and a planning approach that respects your availability, so you’re never feeling rushed or overwhelmed trying to “fit wedding planning in.

I communicate in the way that works best for you

Whether you prefer email, scheduled calls, voice notes, or a mix of everything, I adapt to your communication style. You’ll always know what’s happening, what’s coming next, and when decisions are needed—no guessing, no chasing.

You won’t need to follow up with me

I stay ahead of details, timelines, and vendor communication so nothing slips through the cracks. If something needs attention, you’ll hear from me first. My role is to proactively manage the planning so you can stay focused on enjoying the process.
