About
Your wedding is your chance to share your love story with the most important people in your life. At the same time, a wedding should be a treat for one’s guests and an event they will enjoy attending and talking about for years to come. Great events are immaculately executed and rich with detail. Your wedding should be catered to reflect your signature point of view. Recognizing that, while one couple may want to treat their guests by serving individual wedding cakes with sparklers for dessert, another may prefer to wow them with an aerialist performance while they pick up their place cards. Whatever your style, Melissa Andre Events can make it happen.

Stay away! Ruined my day!
Terrible Experience - Stay Away!
Next level it was. Melissa and I were lucky because we also shared a lot of similar interests and vision for the day . She listened to what we liked and didn't and went from there. It was a collaborative effort in many ways. Melissa has so many unique ideas and so many awesome contacts with her vendors that I highly recommend not micro managing her. There were lots of little details and design elements that we didn't even know or ask about and because of that we were able to be SO surprised the day of. It made it all so much more exciting for us. You can leave those things in the hands of Melissa and her team and trust that it will be organized and beautiful and ad so much to the day.
I can't even tell you how much was taken off our plates by Melissa and her team. They are organized & professional & honest. And while those are all very important qualities in a wedding planner I would say that Melissa Andre and her team are the very best at design and unique ideas and execution. If you want a day that is unlike any other weddings you have attended, this is the company for you. Our day was everything we wanted and more and that is in large part due to Melissa. It was literally a fairytale, the magic of the day combined with the design and incredibly unique details. People are still telling us how beautiful & original the day was. I wish we could get married all over again, and if we could, the first call I would make would be to her...again.
Truthfully, without the help of Sophia, I am confident our wedding would not have been the success it was!
She was there every step of the way, providing expertise and guidance when we needed, and an overall artistic eye to ensure the aesthetics of the whole event was coordinated and aligned with our vision for the day.
I think the greatest strengths of the MAE team is firstly their overall creativeness and ability to provide options for you to execute your vision. Secondly, their expertise and relationships in this industry will help connect you to any vendor/supplier/service you dream of. And lastly, their true gift is their logistics and execution skills!! Even if you are someone who enjoys planning a wedding, often times the actual execution is overlooked. Sophia made our day feel seamless, not only for us, but for our guests, our bridal party, our parents. Everyone was able to enjoy themselves, without having to think where/if flowers were delivered on time or if the favours were placed out etc.
I truly enjoyed working with Sophia and her assistant Thameena. The weeks leading up to the wedding involved numerous emails back and forth and no matter the requests/thoughts that came from us, Sophia & Thameena were always there as a sounding board with a quick response, positive energy, and a solution! I am so grateful for the work they put in and look back wishing we could do it all over again - exactly the same way!
The only caution I extend is the withdrawal you will feel post-wedding when there isn't someone tending to your every need. I guess that's what your spouse is for...but I'm sure Sophia can attest, mine is not quite as responsive.... :)
Thank you Sophia! Thank you Thameena! Thank you MAE! xx
Melissa has a large group of vendors that are so flexible and talented. She takes pride in her relationships with vendors and clients and truly makes you feel at ease.
I can confidently say, my wedding would not have been what it was without her and I value the relationship we now have.
In a heart beat we would do it all again!
In our initial consultations, Melissa understood what I was looking for completely. She took the playfulness of my initial ideas (a baking theme) and with Danielle/Sophia, elevated and took it to another level. She also understood that I was on a budget, and continually suggested ideas that would result in cost savings.
Especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding, I was literally sending the team 10+ e-mails a day overanalyzing every little detail. Yet, they were completely patient, responsive, realistic and encouraging. They were also always apologetic if I didn't hear from them for a day or two. They helped me to always keep focus and worry less about the little things, which they ultimately took care of. On the day of, I don't even know how everything came together so smoothly. All I know is that my bridal party/family members were able to relax, and just be my support team. The timing of the agenda played out perfectly, and the transformation of our venue was simply magical.
We also encountered a problem with one vendor (which was not one of Melissa's recommendations), and after the fact they even helped us to chase down that vendor to rectify the situation. They were there from beginning to end to even the days after.
So, on two fronts, Melissa and her team transforms your wedding into a dream come true from a design and feasibility perspective, but they also quietly work in the background to take care of all the little nuances that a bride really shouldn't have to worry about on the wedding day. You only get married once and that 'perfect' wedding would just not be the same without MAE.
Melissa has a very unique aesthetic and distant style – She has a true understanding of trends and fashion, and a gift for conceptual design. She understands what is classic and chic, yet can elevate it to make it new, fresh, and unique. In a nutshell – she has great taste. Which is key when you are looking to design the biggest party you’ll probably ever throw.
Melissa worked with us to design every aspect of our day, including invitations, stationary, menu, floral, tablescape, lighting, and décor. Her in-house makeup artist was also the absolute best (I was actually considering doing my own because my experience to-date had been so terrible). The day flowed beautifully, and I was able to enjoy and savor ever aspect of the wedding as a special guest. What more could a bride ask for? Every single guest commented that our wedding was by far, the best they’ve ever attended. It was obvious that guests were blow away by the attention and thought given to every detail. Even the guests favours were unique, special, and yet, so practical!
I’m an A-type perfectionist with a critical eye, and Melissa Andre exceeded even my highest expectations. She is also smart, funny, and extremely attentive. It was like having a good friend plan your wedding. My only recommendation is to let go of the reins and TRUST her. Your event will be a million times more beautiful and special if you let her have creative freedom. Melissa is able to take your ideas and turn them into something out of a living daydream. Hands down the best wedding planner in the game!
On our wedding day, Danielle kept in touch with us by phone, and kept things running extremely smoothly--if there were any problems, we never heard about them. We hired our own vendours, and Danielle co-ordinated with all of them to give us a stress-free day we could enjoy to the fullest.
Melissa Andre Events provided exactly what we needed with grace and style, and within our modest budget.
