We used Melodi’s Day of Coordinating package for our wedding which included her assistance 30 days prior to the wedding. Melodi was very thorough in planning and was able to keep me organized and on track! We had a few things go awry with other vendors on the wedding day which she handled like the Pro she is! My only regret is that we didn’t have her plan the whole wedding, it would have been worth every penny!

She took care of everything and made our day special. We did not have to worry about a single thing all because of her. She brought drinks to us, food to us, and made sure all the guest had a great time. Top notch and couldn’t imagine another coordinator.

We are so happy that we chose 1000 Stories Event for our Day of Wedding Coordination! Melodi was absolutely amazing in helping us plan our special day, and making the wedding day go so smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything on the day of, Melodi made sure of it! She was able to grasp our vision immediately, and was so helpful, courteous, and professional. She is very detail-oriented and able to effectively organize a large group of people on a busy day. We couldn't have done it without her! We highly recommend 1000 Stories Events!!

Really incredible service! Melodi was great and easy to work with, and I can't believe how much value we got for the price! I was feeling very overwhelmed with the whole process, but she made it easy and was very kind when I was overwhelmed and didn't get back to her right away. She was very accommodating with our choice of date, and didn't mind our hectic timeline. The venue was perfect, and everyone has commented on what a fun event it was! Would definitely recommend!

Questions?

I've got answers

I'm sure you have so many questions. Here are answers to just a few general questions.
I'm happy to help clarify any others you have. Go ahead, contact me!

What is the difference between Planning and Coordination?

If you need help sourcing vendors, venues, planning the theme, finding the decorations and scheduling all the vendor appointments, then you need a Planner with knowledge and access to all the goods and services you envision. If you’re a DIYer and know exactly what you want and who you want to do it, then you still need a Coordinator because on your big day everyone that helped you create your vision will want to celebrate with you and not work your event. You need someone who can manage the logistics of the vendors, keep the day on track and handle any unexpected issues that will arise.

Do you charge Sales Tax?

I do not charge sales tax on my services, but any items that are purchased or rented will be charged sales tax as required by law. Residents of the state of Oregon with proof of residence do not pay any sales tax.

My venue needs you to have insurance, are you covered?

Yes I am. I am fully covered and will supply your venue with a Certificate of Insurance for your wedding day.
