"How seamless it was to just go about our wedding. I would easily say to anyone looking to hire Mellyrain Creative. I genuinely didn't have a worry about anything. From timings to styling, the team put in a huge amount of effort in the lead in that I knew it was going to be perfect. I'm a control freak so handing over the rains is always hard but I didn't even think twice about it. There were absolutely incredible. I'm actually crying writing this with how grateful I am that I got to enjoy the day with Matt. I know things went wrong in the back ground & she always dealt with it without a worry to us.
The night before the Ceremony I decided I wanted a completely different bar, sure enough when I woke up on my wedding day a beautiful white bar was sitting in the garden. They just gets things done. They are everything & more. Please if you are reading this, I promise your day will be better because of Melanie & the team.
Our day was full of love, laughter & good times truly because of the coordination from Mel & her team. Our day was like a dream, everything I pictured styled perfectly by Lauren. Walking down the aisle I got to stare into Matt’s eyes & enjoy every second because NOTHING went wrong or wasn’t exactly how I dreamed."
"Mel was truly the heart and backbone of our entire wedding journey, and I honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her. From the very beginning, two years out, she was patient, calm, knowledgeable, and endlessly supportive, guiding me through every decision both big and small.
I had a very clear vision, and let’s be honest, I can be particular, and she never once made me feel like anything was too much. Instead, she embraced every idea and somehow made it even better than I imagined. Whether it was helping with music choices, coordinating makeup artists and photographers, advising on tableware and styling, or simply reassuring me when I felt overwhelmed, Mel was always there with solutions, clarity and kindness.
Her attention to detail is unmatched. She anticipated things before I even thought to ask, and on the day itself, everything ran so seamlessly that I was able to completely relax and soak it all in. That kind of execution only happens when someone genuinely cares, and Mel cares deeply.
She turned what could have been a stressful process into something exciting and joyful, and she brought my vision to life in a way that felt effortless, elevated and perfectly us. I will forever be grateful for her dedication, professionalism and warmth. She didn’t just plan our wedding, she made the entire experience unforgettable!
"We take that if you’re reading this, you’re looking for a wedding planner. Where do we begin with just how amazing Mel and the team at Mellyrain Creative are. Safe to say we were blissfully ignorant on the amount of time, mental energy, and decision making involved with planning a private property wedding, and we thank our lucky stars we had Mel to guide us.
In short, Mel is an absolute weapon.
From our very first meeting, we knew Mel’s calm and organised personality coupled with her enthusiasm and genuine care was just what we needed to help guide us through the process. Mel treated us like family, she was decisive, honest, brilliantly creative in her styling decisions, and guided us through all the steps of what it takes to plan a magical day.
She backed us in, listened to our thoughts and captured our inspiration perfectly. She allowed us to find fair, reasonable and amazing quality vendors. But most importantly she did all of the above whilst being an incredible person.
We already knew Mel was amazing in the lead up to the wedding, but she truly shone on the day. She allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our day without having to stress about logistics, vendor coordination, or troubleshooting. She was somehow always there when we needed her, with a spare pair of shoes, blister patches, or lip balm, all whilst troubleshooting issues behind the scenes with us and our guests none the wiser.
If planning a wedding daunts you or you’re short on time like we were, or you just want to ensure you have the best day of your lives, we could not recommend Mel and her team more. We cannot express how important it is to have quality professionals around you in the planning process and the actual day of your wedding, and hiring Mellyrain Creative is truly the best investment you’ll make."
"Mel and the team were so great through out the entire planning process and on the day of our wedding. Mel thought of all the little details (things that I totally would have forgotten about without her!) and made sure everything went smoothly.
We trusted Mel and her team completely to bring our styling vision to life, take care of our vendors, and take care of any hiccups along the way, which meant we were able to be relaxed and have the time of our lives. We are SO glad we hired her!!!"
"Wow - where do we being with Mel. Like many couples, we were a little naive at first and thought a wedding planner wasn't really necessary - well, weren't we wrong.
From the moment we started working with Mel, it became clear just how invaluable she is. Her planning is exceptional - thoughtful, organised, and completely seamless. She understood our vision, elevated it in ways we hadn't even considered, and handled everything with such care and precision.
And then you meet her on your wedding day... and that's truly priceless. Mel brings such a calm, warm, and reassuring presence, while quietly ensuring every detail is executed to perfection behind the scenes. We were able to fully relax, be present, and soak in every moment, knowing everything was in the best possible hands.
She's like having your best friend by your side - but one who also happens to be incredibly talented, experienced, and completely across every detail.
Choosing Mel was, without a doubt, the best decision we made for our wedding day, and we couldn't recommend her more highly.
"Where do we even begin with this review? Mel was our on the day coordinator but she also was so much more than that in the lead up and on the day! She seamlessly looked after all of our vendor communications, crafted the BEST run sheet I've ever seen as well as kept what was important to Matt and I at the forefront when she was organising our day.
Most importantly, Matt and I felt totally at ease throughout the whole wedding planning process as well as during our wedding too - we were so relaxed and able to completely soak up all the magic moments of our day.
Not to mention that all of our suppliers and vendors had nothing but incredible things to say about Mel and her ability to not only organise multiple suppliers at once, but to be so friendly and approachable during it all too.
We cannot recommend Mel and Mellyrain enough to anyone who is thinking about working with her in any capacity.
"Our wedding was perfect, it was exactly what we wanted because of Mel’s help. Max and I were grinning and laughing all day, it felt relaxed and fun.
Mel broke all of the components down into manageable parts leading up to the day and worked with us to create exactly what we wanted. When I couldn’t decide she completely took things over and made it such a breeze.
I can’t thank her enough. Our families said you were worth your weight in gold!"
"I confess, I was one of those brides who thought I didn’t need a wedding planner… but luck had it that Mel came into the picture when we decided Feathertop was where our marriage would begin. Our wedding would not have been the raging success it was without Mel!
The day was truly seamless, despite having so many intricate details and specific requests that I was particular about—and Mel made every single one happen. No matter what, she ensured everything we wanted came to life. Mel made the entire experience so enjoyable because she genuinely listened to us and followed through on exactly what we envisioned.
Without her, we wouldn’t have found the most caring and hardworking suppliers who made the day unforgettable. Mel went above and beyond, and honestly, we would not have been able to pull off the incredible event our wedding was without her. This isn’t just a job to Me, it’s her passion, and it truly shows in every little thing she does."
"Perfection! Mel is the most organised and composed professional when it comes to
Planning Weddings. From the minor details to the very important things. from the very begging of the process to the day of, everything was so easy and stress free.
Mel and her team brought our dream to life and we had the most amazing day ever that felt like a fairytale. We could not have gotten to the day without her and the team. I would recommend Mel to everyone I know getting married."
