MELISSA SNYDER
Owner, Planner + Designer
Hello, friend and I'm so glad you stopped by! My name is Melissa and I believe that life is full of reasons to celebrate, and I cherish the role I get to play in the lives of all my clients.
I grew up in the small town of Holley, NY and since I can remember, I have always enjoyed crafting and decorating. Prior to planning, I had the privilege of teaching MS/HS English + Reading for 13 years but sadly lost my position right before the pandemic in 2019. During this time, many couples lost their wedding venues and were in need of assistance with planning backyard weddings. To assist those in need, I decided to offer my planning and decorating services and instantly fell in love with wedding planning. It is then when I discovered my passion for weddings and helping couples celebrate the biggest day of their lives!
In my spare time, you can find me barefoot in my garden, thrifting vintage items, or chasing the sunset on my motorcycle. I'm a plant mama and love to travel, soak in the sunlight, and meet new people. I'm married to my soulmate, Alan, and we have two beautiful daughters, Claire and Cora, who are our worlds. I love to snuggle our fur babies, Toby and Layla.

My passion is you, your day, your dreams, and your love story.
"WOW, did she make our dreams come true!"
In short, Melissa is PHENOMENAL and you absolutely need her for your wedding day! From the day we had our first phone call I knew Melissa would have our backs. We had most of our vendors picked out so we hired Melissa as a day of coordinator and WOW did she make our dreams come true. Not only did she help with suggestions for our wedding day, she became the point person for our vendors in the weeks approaching our wedding which was a huge relief. On the day of the wedding Melissa was every where at once. She supported us (the couple), our families, venue staff and the vendors with a smile on her face and a positive attitude. Melissa was always just popping up without being asked, we never even thought about going to the bar for drinks because Melissa was always there! We could go on and on about Melissa but we were so happy she was there to support us on our wedding day and we know our day was amazing and so special because of her. We love Simple Celebrations, it is the place to go for wedding services!!
