Ashley & Alex ~ Botanical Gardens Wedding!
Ashley & Alex ~ Botanical Gardens Wedding!
This post is long overdue but definitely a must! Thinking back on this wedding, it’s so nice to think of your past clients with such fond memories and to know it was a great experience for everyone involved. I love when I see such support from parents on their children’s wedding but especially when I see such excitement. For this wedding not only were Ashley and Alex excited but her parents were just as elated. When they would get together to do wedding stuff they would call it “weddingpalozza”. They are too adorable!!
The wedding was so intimate and fun. Unfortunately, some of Alex’s family was not able to make it from Colombia which was really disappointing but they made the best of it and still enjoyed their most special day, as much as possible! White table linens with all burgundy callas made for simple and yet very elegant décor. The botanical gardens set for a beautiful, lush and organic back drop for their Spring wedding.
Our favorite part of their wedding had to be all the dances, which were either super emotional or a blast! You can see for yourself, there is a lot of tears and also laughter!
Ashley/Alex (& Jo Ann J) It was such an immense pleasure to take part in this special day for all of you. I truly enjoyed seeing your families enjoy your selves so much and feel honored to have been part of this important time in your lives! Xoxoxo Best Wishes Always!
“Not enough wonderful words in my vocabulary to describe how great Melissa is. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Expect a call when we renew our vows in 10 years and I want another party! ;-) – Ashley”
“Melissa is the most AWESOME wedding planner ever! She is super responsive to emails and is very patient. My daughter's wedding looked amazing! It was hard to believe that we did this wedding on a budget! The florist she uses is incredible. The flowers were beyond our expectations. I can't begin to explain how wonderful Events on a Budget is! The decor was beautiful and Melissa took care of everyone. If we needed anything- it appeared. Everything ran smoothly- all vendors were on time and were very professional. I highly recommend this company!” – Jo Ann

Vanessa & Erick's Wedding
One of my favorite parts of the wedding was the best man's speech. I have heard quite a few in my days but his I will never forget this one. The Best Man is a firefighter, just like his best pal Erick and he said that he was more than a friend to him but his brother and to show him just how much he trusted and loved him, he had chosen him to be the Godfather of his baby. That he knew, if anything ever happened to him he could trust Erick to be a father to his son.
I LOVE WEDDINGS! I love the emotions they evoke, the love they bring out and the closeness that is brought within family and friends. This was one of those weddings where you felt the love throughout....
The room looked amazing with the chocolate pintuck linens, ivory flowers and amber uplights!
Erick and Vanessa I wish you both a wonderful life together! May you always be as happy as you were on your wedding day... Thank you for letting me be part of it!

"Melissa,
You were a Godsend to us! We couldn't have been happier with the way our wedding turned out and know that it was because of your hard work. It was honestly the best day of our lives and we could not thank you enough! We recommend you to anyone we hear of that is getting married.
Vanessa"
