I am so happy you did this video. I pray more people watch this so that they will know it's not just a snap of a finger to do these events. Thank you thank you thank you so much!
Correct!!!!! lol!
Thanks so much for showing us behind the scenes of event planning. Alot of things is actually done for preparation of any event
Yes!
Miss Melonie I love your videos. You are such a professional and beautiful woman.
Oooohhh I loved the beginning to end. Thanks for sharing, Melanie. I hope we can get more videos like this ☺️
They take a lot! I need a film crew! Lol
Thank you for taking out the time to share with us. This is a lot of work that is worth so much. I pray that God will continue to reward you and favor you as you work in the gift that he gave you. God Bless You Melanie!
Thank you love!!!!
Melanie, let me first say "thank you" and your entire staff for a job well done. Having been in the hospitality industry for years I truly relate to the ins and outs of your event planning business. I loved your decor for this baby shower it was simply "adorable"🧸 table settings, balloons, dessert table, etc. Rowenta irons are "great"! Have safe traveling to and fro on your business trip. Take care 💞
You are so welcome!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for the video. I learned alot about what need to be done before the event. I generally press everything at the event, thanks for the tip to press ahead of time. I also learned I need more than 3 or 4 people to help setup and breakdown. Event planning is a job and I love when people are pleased with the results. You did an excellent job. Thanks for sharing.
Beverly Alexanderno absolutely! So glad that you found it helpful!!!
Thanks for sharing! It is a lot of work. My friend just started her event planning , and I helped her with her first wedding! OMG! It’s amazing how rude some people can be! It takes a really special person to plan events and deal with so many different personalities! Hats off to you and all event planners!
You sure are right!!!! Lol so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Again. Love it. Very informative. More in depth than any I've seen. Thank-you.
Thank you so much!
Looks great Melanie as always it's a lot of work planning events I definitely know how it is
Yes it is 💜😂💜
Thank you so much. I am a team of one...me. Yes, it does limit the size of my events so watching you, I am inspired to step out on faith and reach out to grow my business by taking your lead and you're experience to know there is a better way. I am retiring in the next 60 days from the 9-5 govt job so can't wait to get deeper into your "how to's". Thanks again for sharing!
You are so welcome
Hi CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement and God bless you on your next journey projects I'm a Thirty One Consultant if you like to visit and share ,BLESS YOU LADY 💜

Thanks so much ❤️
Thanks so much ❤️
Thank you for sharing. You are the best.
Thanks Melanie for sharing.A beautiful job well done.👍
Thanks so much!
Hi Mrs. Mel how are you? I cant wait to see the whole video in its entirety. Thanks so much for the information. Have a safe and great trip. Decreeing FAVOR concerning your vision, business and whats to come for you and your family. With that being said CONGRATS on your new adventure! Have a blessed day everyone. 🥰🤗
I receive it! Thanks so much!
I know it's a lot of work! I'm glad you went behind the scenes so people can see. I'm a party planner by nature and I only do events for work and family! Lots of people ask me if I ever think about making a living out of it and I always tell them how much work it is.
I bet you would do an awesome job!
Hi Melanie, I appreciate your determination to educate and inspire others .I love the video from beginning to the end. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful setting you and your team did fabulous work. Blessings to you all.🙏
Thanks so much Sabrina! So glad that you enjoyed it!
3 minutes into the video and I've already learned something... Thank you!!!
Awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing the entire process! Everything is so beautiful. You are exactly correct...you have to have a passion for it.
Correct! Lol!
Great video As a event decorator I totally get what you are saying.Some people walk into a room and think it was thrown together in a hour or two. And before that is the planning stage.Fun but work tfs
Yes it is! LOL!
I really enjoy from start to finish Melanie thank you so much everything came out beautifully waiting for the next one God bless
So glad that you enjoyed it
This was truly an amazing video , I am thinking of becoming and event planner and this is exactly where I needed to be to get ready. I wrote down all the websites that u provided to help me get ready
Glad you went into this detail. I knew you were doing a lot of work but I guess since we usually saw the finished product, it seemed you just had a magic machine to make the "waa-lah"! Yep, you are a hard-working lady!!!😁
So glad that you enjoyed it!
Came out absolutely beautiful but I totally see why you say this business has to be an absolute passion. It’s definitely a lot of work. Wow!
Thanks so much ❤️
WOW!!! That look like a whole lot of work.. it turned out beautiful. I take my hat off to you.. you are dedicated and I see you love what you do.. being a event planning you must have a heart for it.. it seem like you would need more people..thank you so much for showing us this... 💕you are a great event planner. I pray that a whole lot of people look at this over 5,000 🙏🏾 ummm !!!that a easy day ...,Say What !!! 😳😊
Correct! lol! Thanks so much doll!!!
Thank you for sharing all of the helpful tips. Love the balloon columns with the ball and chain.
Thanks so much love!!!!
Thanks for sharing ! I think it’s so important to show all the work that go into to preparing for an event. Thanks for mentioning /talked about having the passion for what you do and not being into ton just for money it makes a huge difference😉
Wow thanks for sharing. You make tedious work look easy. I could see how those chairs could be a piece of work. Do you think adding a strip of elastic from one side to the other (front and back bottom) horizontally could help? Your events are always so beautiful and grand. ❤
Felicia Fe yes but that would be tedious too! Lol! Trying to avoid chair covers all together in 2020! Lol!
Thank you for sharing another great video.
You are so welcome
Thanks for sharing. It's beautiful
Beautiful as usual
Don’t be disappointed everything looked great 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing, I learn a lot from this video. Be blessed!
You too!!!
Hi Melanie! Kudos! Lots of hard work; from one ex-planner to a current one, a lovely job. That’s why I’m ex-planner-now event design and coordination only. All the heavy lifting you and your team did today takes a lot of out you and so true the day doesn’t end. I have a flat rate, contracts for others more suited to do the heavy lifting. AND, you can barely find a chair cover in California anymore; we have them and they are still pretty but the idea is truly dated on the West coast. It’s all about Chiavari or silk or ribbon or sash or jewels or something better; a little pricier but a whole lot less work. I find it valuable to have established relationships with not only the local vendors, but the ones in the next two over because when you charge like you are putting in 48 hours and have a team to pay, it’s no thing to pick up the phone and have some of your partners roll through or send somebody to lend a hand. I love what I do and I want to keep loving it-somebody else can do the hard stuff. Good job! You deserve all the respect.
Absolutely! It’s a whole lot! That is more of what I do now as well, except in cases like this one... Yes, I wish they would go away but unfortunately, the market here is not there yet! I am requesting all my clients in 2020 to get chairs though! Tooo much work! Lol!
God Bless You ! You are so informative and put so much love, time, and effort into your work ❤
Thank you so much!
I love it! And thanks for showing me how busy this job is, and you are doing wonderful at what you do
Wow what a job executed perfectly.... This was sooo informative with alot of knowledge...I was like wow that's alot of prepping and preparing behind the scenes and not to mention once you get there to set up.... It turned out Beautifully... I love the centerpieces and the decor was gorgeous.. Thanks for sharing this.
Yes it is! You are so welcome!
I am so happy I finally found this video , I am at work and I have been checking like crazy to see if it posted . I’m so excited to now watch this !!!! ❤️
Awesome!!!!
Hi!!!!💙 Lady M.
I enjoyed watching you 😊 as I was cleaning out and organizing my Thirty One tote I take with me everyday. You have loootttsss of energy lady😊 I do too though when I'm doing something I like . Thanks for sharing your wonderful day in event planning ~~~like the shades 😎 love the BLUE white Mickey them decor 💜 everything beautiful!!
Awesome! So glad that you enjoyed it! So glad that I could keep you company!
Wonderful job. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thank you
💙 looks great Melanie! 💙
Thank you!
What an amazing job! I am so inspired by you to take that leap of faith and start my own event styling business in Austin 🙂. Simply Beautiful!!
Awesome
Thanks for sharing this video. It was great to see the process from start to finish. I want to weigh in on your name change. I vote for the one with your whole name in it. I think it was something like Events by Melanie Turner or Event Creations (design by) Melanie Turner. No one can ever take your name from you and so much of event planning work comes form word of mouth and reputation. You have built a solid reputation in your community and I think that is only going to grow in 2020. Just my 2 cents from someone who plans events from time to time in my current job😄. You are great and make magic out of what looks like thin air, but is really lots of hard work and effort.
Thanks so much love
Your iron is camera shy, lol. Thanks for the share.
Yes he was! lol! Showing out!!!
Mrs. Melanie!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
LOVE this video!
Thank you so much for continuing to inspire and share your wisdom with us.
I did a brunch wedding at a local mansion last May and it POURED down raining all morning long. I actually became ill while setting up (the back and forth in the rain from the venue to my vehicle) I don't have a team (yet 😊) but fortunately, the caterers were a God sent and helped me set up and break down. Everything turned out beautiful even though it didn't go according to plan. Establishing those business relationships is crucial in this field. (And being a people person helps, too.)
You and your team did an AMAZING job!
I just have a few questions--
Did the plates come from Posh Party supplies?
What do you do with the balloons (centerpieces, columns, etc.) after the event?
Do you rent or own the throne chair(s), cake/dessert table stands?
I heard you mention storage unit. What size storage unit would you recommend for one just starting out?
Do you pay the "Luxers"? Hourly, by the job, is this an apprenticeship or do they volunteer to build their resume/portfolio?
You are so welcome...
You can find the plates at Posh
I give them to client or pop them
I own everything
I recommend going to see one
They are paid staff...
Thank you so much Mrs. Melanie for taking your time to answer my questions. 😍😍😍 I did get a storage unit & will continue to build my inventory.
God bless you!
Absolutely Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching
Wow, what a great birthday present Mrs. Melanie one day before my birthday lml I enjoyed watching this video & I also don't like those chairs for events but you all did fantastic definitely great teamwork the effort shows in the end please continue to share more videos like this making us feel apart of your beautiful work love it
So glad that you enjoyed it!
Amazing!!!!
Thanks!!
Thank you! Very insightful and detailed...God Bless
Awesome
Wow!! Great job, just fabulous! Much love! 👍😁💝
Thanks doll!!!!
Very insightful. Thank you Melanie.
So glad that you enjoyed it!
Hi! Thank u for ur video it was very helpful. If I may give u a little tidbit... the only water that u should be putting in ur iron is distilled water. Reg water or bottled water causes a buildup of minerals. Remember seeing rust come out of iron onto ur clothes? This was caused by buildup of minerals distilled water has nothing in it. I have a rowenta iron and they r the best.
Thank you so much!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING......i LOVE HOW EVERYYTHING TURN OUT ANOTHER WINNER.....sis be blessed.Sorry for the caps.....[lol]
Thanks so much bro! You are the best!
Everything turned out so beautiful - on theme too!
Thanks so much ❤️
Beautiful
Thanks so much!
Awesome job! I love every element of the design.
Thanks so much ❤️
Good job mam
I love the themes
And the balloons
Yes thank you for this video , most times it’s me alone an maybe a couple of people will jump in and help when time lasp time lol 😂 the balloons 🎈 are another level prep an bagging those night before or 5 am . Thanks I really hope people see this video so much anxiety flows in the air 😂😂😂
Oh yes! So glad that you enjoyed!!!!!
I loved this video. Please do more of these!😊
Be praying for me a full filming crew!

I love this Melanie! I'm a chef in addition to my Federal government job and I cater on the side.

Melanie the video was very helpful.You do a great job blessing others to make them good about there event or weddings.May god bless you and your team.
💕💕💕it was beautiful
Thank you
Loved everything you did a great job!!! where did you find the blue white and gold ring plates? I believe you should add you name.
Hey love... linked in description box
How about a clothing rack they have rolling ones, drape it over and use a hand steamer to get the wrinkles out.
Yes, that’s a great tip!
@@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess I like to conserve some energy for other things and not knock myself completely out.
Sis amazing, I'm tired for you WOWZERS first the ironing that alone took me out not my favorite thing but that iron seems great a life saver huh. The set up was amazing when I saw them chairs I was like ohhh no those are gonna be hard then when you said it I chuckled but great job love the back drop and balloon polls did you do those in advance or there. The new team did wonderful the dessert table looks great. Were you in charge of the main food as well. Breakdown 40 mins that's great. This is a lot behind the scenes your passion shows great job to you and new team. Cheers.🥂
Yes it is! So glad that you enjoyed it!
Can we see how you work out the legs of the i have never used those before
Thank you for sharing I would like to know how long is take to set up an event like this Baby shower
Lots of behind the scenes work to pull events together - ironing, chair covers, some of the things we don't consider
Absolutely
Hello do you charge for cleaning the tablecloth
BARBARA SIMMONS I include everything in my CODB...
You are Great i love look at you
How long that baby shower last? I was thinking of arranging it myself but as i watched all you went through i think i need an event planner :D
5 💎💎💎💎💎 because you are a gem
Love your training videos 5 💖💖💖💖💖
More Melanie in 2020
Thanks so much love!
what was the size of the mickey's that you purchased as they come in various sizes. May God shine light and BLESS YOU the way you Bless others this was alot of work and I hope your friend really appreciated the love from you and the staff.
Can u show to fit these chair covers to the chairs ... how to pin them
You just connected them at the bottom with a pin... No right or wrong way... Once you start, you will see...
Wonderful presentation. How do you figure out what to charge for the items used? Do you provide them on a rental basis? If so, how do you deal with the issue that some people take them home? People always walk out with the centerpieces. Any suggestions? Thank you.
I’ve never had that issue ;(
Yes Melanie, change it with your name on it!
Okay!!! Lol!
Beautiful as always😊😊💙. Where did you get the plates from?
You can find at Posh Party Supplies
@@LivingLuxuriouslyforLess
Thank you I'll def check them out 😊
If you see this video, what’s most material used for events like satin, polyester or?
Hi, where did you get the balloon centerpiece holders from ? Or should I say what are they?
I have the DIY video posted in the description box...
Where did you get the gold crowns at the top of the balloon centerpieces?
She made them
I am working with the same type of chairs, how did you get them to stay on the square bottom legs?
What size Mickey centerpieces did you use
Small
Do you make the balloon column s
Yesssss
01.21.20: Hey Ms. Mel! I finally had seen how you did your event and I’m grateful to see the process of how you did everything. I must admit into the idea of doing for event planning a couple years ago, and I interned for a company, I was not too pleased. Yet to see the process of how you did, gives me hope an idea to try again. Anyways, thank you for showing us the inside scoop of an event with having an eye for detail and ear for music (it’s on point!).
By the way, we already know that you’re a bazillionaire, I mean like we got we know God who is abundance of bazillions. And as for Waffle House, I agree, I enjoy how they make their food right in front of you, so it’s delicious 😋.
Thank you again!✨🧡
Soo sooo soo good! Lol! So glad that you enjoyed the video and music too!
Tfs
Thanks so much for watching
How much is an estimate charge for an event like this
In have an entire class on that ❤️
