Melanie and Kim are committed to providing affordable wedding planning services and making your unique vision come alive. They are extremely responsive and provide a plethora of resources and guidance. They are well connected in the Oregon wedding industry and provide you with connections to vendors at a discounted rate. They are well worth every penny for the peace of mind they provide you on your wedding day. I also used Melanie as my florist; it was really nice to have one point person for all these services, and of course she exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend booking your wedding planning services with Your Perfect Bridesmaid!

From the very beginning I was very impressed by Your Perfect Bridesmaid's services. They were professional, courteous, and beyond helpful. Melanie and Kim definitely made the wedding planning process stress free and smooth sailing! We were so blessed to have them as wedding coordinators and pulling off our special day. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator, and if I had to rate them from 1 to 10...it would be a 20! Whenever we needed something or had a question, they always responded quickly! I can't even count the amount of emails exchanged, but Melanie and Kim always had our best interest in hand. They gave us the best advice and I trusted their input wholeheartedly. Melanie was attentive to my needs as a bride and a fabulous friend in crisis as well. When things got stressful, Melanie and Kim stuck up for us. Your Perfect Bridesmaid is definitely a full service package. They were worth every cent, and not only did they provide us with budget friendly vendors, they helped us save money. They even went to IKEA to pick up candles and table number toppers. Most importantly they provided us with peace of mind. Every business could take a valuable lesson from them. LOVE LOVE LOVE you guys!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"

YPB is the best! Not only are they amazing planners, they are also affordable! Even though I got the day of package, I had several meetings with them and unlimited emails back and forth. They managed to keep together the big picture down to the tiniest details. I can't thank the ladies enough because they were a big part in making my big day even more amazing than I imagined.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, YPB!!!

My husband and I chose to have a destination wedding in Willamette Valley, so I needed some help and opted for day of services from Your Perfect Bridesmaid. For ease, I also used them for flowers and hair and make-up, and it was definitely the right choice! Kim and Melanie did an incredible job helping me even though I was in another state. The day we did our walk through, Kim was thoughtful enough to grab some pictures around the vineyard of my husband and I since the forecast for our wedding day was rain. Kim kept everything flowing the day of and has great relationships with other vendors. Melanie did an amazing job with our flowers, despite only working through emails and a phone call or two with me. Your Perfect Bridesmaid is a great affordable option, but their services will seem like you opted for the most expensive.

I hired YPB for day-of coordination. In all honestly, our wedding would not have been a success if weren't for Kim and Your Perfect Bridesmaid. I hired Kim for day-of coordination, but she was available to me for months leading up to the event. This was the kind of hands-on service I desperately needed (because ours was a destination wedding planned from a different state) but never expected to receive. Kim is, straight-up, one of the hardest-working individuals I have ever had the pleasure of collaborating with. She, along with her partner Melanie, kept me on track with the coordination of vendors and services and I am notoriously difficult to keep on task! But most of all, on the day of the wedding, I had no calls to field, no emergencies to deal with, no instruction to give -- Kim did it all. And she simply encouraged me to have a wonderful, relaxing morning -- we'll see you at the venue. You can put your trust in the hands of Your Perfect Bridesmaid -- and you should. It will be the best wedding money you ever spend.

I cannot say enough about Your Perfect Bridesmaid to convey how great they were to work with! From day-of coordination and flower arrangements, they truly did it all! I hired a coordinator for the wedding day so that I didn't have to think about anything except enjoying myself at the wedding, and mission accomplished. And since all but one of my bridesmaids lived across the country, it really did feel like I had two additional bridesmaids to help me with the big decisions, and I knew that they had my best interest in mind. Kim and Melanie are personable, very professional, and very friendly, and they made me feel like I could trust them with decisions that I was too fickle to make myself. I can certainly say that my wedding would not have been as much of a success without their help.

I worked with both Kim and Melanie on our September wedding. They were professional, prompt and affordable! We took advantage of day of planning services, and felt they went WAY beyond just the day of, they reviewed contracts, made vendor recommendations we could trust (LOVE Katie Brown photography and DJ Lure - Jeffrey), and kept our personality and budget in mind while working with us. I am very comfortable recommending them to anyone searching for the support you NEED while planning a wedding. I feel I am organized and capable, but I desperately wanted to relax and enjoy my wedding day, and Kim was there the day of my big event to make sure I didn't have to worry about a thing! Please join me in supporting this wonderful business with your patronage.

Your Perfect Bridesmaid is priceless! I had a lot of my own plans underway as far as theme and decor, but they are a wealth of inspiration for anyone who may be struggling with a direction. What I can't say enough about is their ability to assist with all of the logistics of your wedding. I was very worried about creating a timeline, and setting up all of these details that weren't the "fun" parts. They effortlessly construct timelines, assist with vendors and streamline all portions of the event. It was beyond amazing to have no worries the day of the wedding and not have any of my friends or family members have to work on such a special day. I felt cool, calm and collected because I knew it was all handled. I recommend these amazing girls to anyone!

Dear Your Perfect Bridesmaid,
You were not only the perfect Bridesmaid, you were the Perfect Groomsman as well. My wife and I could not have imagined a more beautiful, perfect wedding. We cannot thank you enough for all your hard work throughout the entire process. We have heard that planning a wedding can be stressful, expensive and can cause some tension between the couple. But for us, it was never stressful; you helped us choose the best vendors, and made sure all the contracts were sound. It wasn't too expensive, because you kept our budget in check as well as our expectations. There was no tension, just excitement and joy.
We would also like to thank you for the flowers. We never imagined our small flower budget could go that far. We really felt like you went above and beyond in order to get us as many flowers as you could. My wife’s bouquet was very impressive; it was better then she could have ever imagined.
The day of the wedding was amazing. Everything at the venue was handled perfectly. If there was anything that went wrong, we never knew it. It was great to have our families and friends be able to sit back and truly enjoy the wedding.
To all the future grooms who think that having a wedding coordinator is not needed or too expensive, I would tell you to reconsider. It will not only save your sanity and money, it may also save your future marriage.
Thank you again.
John Anhorn (and Shannon Anhorn, too)

I cannot possibly rate Your Perfect Bridesmaid any higher! As a professional event planner myself, I at first assumed I would just handle all the planning myself, until I learned about YPB, and the incredible value they offer. Their small fee is nothing in comparison to what they will save you in time, money (by reviewing contracts and amazing tips) not to mention stress! They were so immediate and constant in their responses to my questions and concerns, and were truly a friend and ally in an industry that can be hard to trust. On the day of our wedding, they were so amazingly calm, organized and professional, making sure all the time and money we'd put into making our wedding perfect wasn't wasted! The truth is, no matter how organized you are as a bride, when it comes to your actual wedding weekend, you don't want to be the one to execute all your little details or stress about making sure it gets done right. YPB was hands down the best money we spent throughout our whole wedding and I would have gladly paid double for the incredible and limitless help they gave us! I'm a self-admitted perfectionist and hard to be won over at times, yet YPB left me with absolutely zero things to complain about. They went above and beyond to make every little detail perfect, just like your best friend or mom would. That type of character is virtually impossible to find. I highly, highly, highly recommend them!!

Kim and Melanie from your perfect bridesmaid were so much more than just wedding coordinators for the weekend. They both have such energy and enthusiasm, creativity and genuine want to help that I could not think of planning this wedding without them. Not only did they save time and money with suggestions on vendors and ideas to make it cheaper, but they also were fully vested in the idea and feel of our wedding and came up with suggestions and help. I would thoroughly recommend them if you want to have a wedding or event that is above your expectations, smooth, professional and to have the stress of the event handled beautifully by these ladies! THANK YOU!!!

Katie + Stephanie | AUGUST 29, 2010
We were engaged for about a year and a half, and were referred to Your Perfect Bridesmaid pretty early on in our engagement. I (Katie) was originally skeptical that we needed wedding planners for what we were thinking of as a "do-it-yourself" wedding with lots of personal touches and effort on our parts. However, one recently married family member reported to us that the best money she spent was on her wedding planners and that they helped make the day go smoothly. A recently married friend who did not have wedding planners told us that the one thing she wished they had done was hire a planner.
Soon enough, I was convinced, especially after meeting with Mel and Kim for the first time! They were professional, organized, friendly and full of ideas for new things and encouragement for what we had already thought of and accomplished. Throughout our entire engagement, they were there for us as sounding boards, full of resources and ideas, and provided (sometimes very-needed) reality checks. The amount of time they gave us was considerably more than they charged for, which was amazing and so appreciated!
Mel and Kim worked so hard during our whole wedding day (arriving early and leaving late!) to make sure that everything was set up and ready to go. The result was beautiful - they were thorough and so thoughtful of little details. They played a huge part in making our wedding day one of our happiest days, and we are so thankful for their tireless work and dedication!
