Melissa is a spectacular event planner. In addition to planning and executing my daughter’s dream wedding weekend out of town at Nemacolin Resort in PA, an event chosen by the Carats And Cake Instagram account to be showcased, she also planned my niece’s incredible wedding as well as all 3 of my kids Bar/Bat Mitzvahs when they were younger.
There is no stress in hosting an event with Melissa as the event coordinator. It is a wonderful process and she guides you every step of the way. She is on top of every detail, many things I would have never even thought of myself. As the host of the events, I was able to just enjoy every moment of the entire weekend knowing she was handling it all.
From the initial stages of planning, to invites, to signage, to decor, to layout, to set up, to hotel bags. …. The list goes on and on, Melissa has it all covered. She is a one stop shop to put on the event of a lifetime! She thinks of it all and guides you every step of the way. She is terrific at managing all the different vendors and working to execute all visions whether an in town event or out of town. Melissa brings your vision to life and manages everyone involved. I will hire her for every event I ever have, big or snall!!
Melissa has a terrific personality and is calm when dealing with any issue that may arise. She handles it and always has new ideas how to work around an issue. I am forever thankful for her help planning our daughter’s wedding weekend. It was truly a fairy tale dream come true memory of a lifetime for us all. It was a pleasure planning...
Read morePink Gorilla is awesome! Melissa went above and beyond to make our experience with them incredible. We received a balloon archway that we used at our school for graduation. We needed to use it twice, a few days apart. She had told us if there was any damage in between events she'd come and fix it for us. Well, the day of our second event, at 4:15 pm (our event was at 6 pm), we noticed many deflated balloons. It was our fault for not storing it properly, but I called anyways. Without questions, Melissa flew into action. She brought us a ton of new balloons, turned our archway into two perfect columns, and we were all set and ready to go with plenty of time to spare before our graduation.
We can't thank Melissa and Pink Gorilla enough for being so understanding and responsive, especially at such a last minute request. Please use them....
Read moreI worked with Pink Gorilla to plan my son’s bar mitzvah party for ~200 people. Melissa and her team handled everything from event planning and flow, logo design, decorations, signage, day-of coordination, and more with tremendous care, expertise, and attention to detail. Melissa was able to bring our vision for the party to life, offering smart ideas and considerations all along the way. Working with her was easy, collaborative, and provided value to our event in countless ways. Hiring Pink Gorilla was the single best decision we made during the Bar Mitzvah process, and one that resulted in a flawless event for all of our guests. Highly recommend Melissa and the Pink...
