Take a moment and envision your wedding day…. Imagine your dreams becoming reality.

Let me plan your special day!

Meet Mel

Welcome to Riverview Weddings. I was born and raised in good old New York.  I have worked in hospitality since the age of 18 beginning as a hostess. Most of my life I have enjoyed the beautiful Hudson Valley, but I have had the pleasure of living in NYC and Tampa, FL.

Most of my wedding planning experience happened in my home town of Poughkeepsie, NY at The Grandivew. My journey began there as a catering waitress, I quickly transitioned to a head server who would wait on the couple getting married. I continued to progress and became a wedding planner there along with a Matrie D’ as needed. Spent a decade over the Hudson River, falling in love with event planning. 

Once covid hit, I left the hospitality industry to focus on my family. I have since then worked with a close friend to help her grow her business. As her company has taken off, I am ready for my own adventure into my passion. Working with couples and executing their beautiful day. 

I have worked with multiple individual couples planning and executing their special days. I am an onsite day of coordinator at Red Maple Vineyards in West Park, NY. Throughout the years I have learned and worked with Local Weddings Planners.

I am ready for more couples in love! My job is to put ease to your stresses during a magical time in your life.

This should be the happiest experience you and your partner will ever go through <3 

I can not wait to meet you.
