Our Team

For nearly a decade, Melissa has worked with hundreds of couples to make the most important day of their lives a moment filled with happiness, tears of joy, and love. “Wedding planning is more than creating a timeline. It’s organizing and helping create their vision for one of the most important days of their lives, a day they will truly never forget,” she states while teaching her team about the values and mission of Sweet Blossom Weddings.

Graduating from University of San Francisco with a BA in Communications and from University of San Diego with an Event Management Certificate, Melissa quickly learned that executing creative ideas, listening, and creating relationships are essential to being a successful wedding planner and business owner.  With an entrepreneurial spirit and a natural passion for weddings & design, she was dedicated to creating a company that now has served couples from all over the country.  "I am so lucky to do what I do everyday.  I get to help create my client's vision and be part of one of the best days of their lives!"

After exploring many different career paths, after receiving her Graphic Design degree from Drexel University, it was no coincidence that Emma found an industry that flawlessly merged all of her strengths into one! From her design background to her professional experience in Customer Success Management, Sales, PR & Marketing, Emma moved from New York City to San Diego 4 years ago with a specific goal in mind. Since the first wedding she worked, she knew this was the industry she was meant to be in. Even a global pandemic couldn’t hold her back! “I always thought people who said If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life were exaggerating but I just hadn’t found the right job for me yet!” she says. Sometimes she still has to pinch herself and say, “is this really my job?”

 She has a natural ability to become anyone’s best friend and loves meeting new people. People say she is the glue of all her friends from west coast to east coast and even abroad. When she’s not wedding planning, she is planning travel and events in her own life, enjoying spending time with friends in person and her east coast family on FaceTime, doing yoga, listening to music, and eating her way through San Diego. If you ever need restaurant suggestions, Emma is your go to girl!
