Testimonial:

"This is a resounding recommendation for Knot Too Shabby Events and to book them the day after you get engaged. Don't look elsewhere because she is worth her weight in gold and then some. They are the one and only clear choice for a wedding planner in Wilmington and the surrounding areas. From our very first meeting, we knew we wanted to work with Melissa. We're an LGBTQIA+ couple, and she has a way of immediately making you feel comfortable and that you're in great hands with her team. You can tell that she is passionate about her work, and she loves her clients. Not only that, but she has the experience, the local knowledge and connections, and her team is really just a bunch of angels sent to help ease the stresses of your wedding day. She's extremely organized and detail-oriented, and she will work with you to match the wedding you've always envisioned. You even get your own internet (portal) site to track everything you need, from your budget to your vendors, leading up to your wedding! On the day of the wedding, Melissa and her team were there, making sure we had everything we needed. Forgot something? They have you. Pizza place closes by the time your wedding ends? They got you. Unsure how the decor will get put away? They got you. Don't have a drink in your hand? They got you. I still tear up thinking about our day and the little details of how they were there every step of the way, and made us feel well taken care of. I am truly grateful to her and her excellent team of professionals. I'm telling you. If you're getting married, Melissa and KTSE is IT!"
