CMT Event Planning

Malissa did a wonderful job planning my wedding, I simply could not have done it without her!

Malissa and staff are great! They will make you feel like you're the only bride they have at the time. You will not be diappointed if you choose CMT Event Planning.

Malissa was such a joy to work with. She is always on top of everything and thinks of details that you would never even think of. We did not have to lift a finger the day of our wedding, which really helped my family and I be able to enjoy the wedding. Given only a few hours at our venue, she was able to make it look like the dream wedding I envisioned and made everything flow so smoothly. She is a wonderful, organized wedding planner and I would definitely recommend her for any event.

I was just married on the 24th of September, 2011. I interviewed multiple wedding planners in the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area. I was fortunate enough to have been referred to CMT Event Planning and Malissa Murphy, the owner. First impressions are great and very important. Malissa was extremely professional from the first meeting and never faltered. Her professionalism, thoroughness, attention to detail, promptness, and flexibility were exceptional and always greatly appreciated. I always felt like I was the only bride as their client, no matter how many weddings they were planning. Exceptional customer service!!

We had 360 people in attendance for our wedding. I knew that I needed to hire someone with experience and who would be capable of handling a large wedding party and a large guest list. CMT Event Planning handled the whole wedding, vendors and the wedding site with confidence and direction. All of the details and vendors were coordinated seamlessly and the wedding executed without flaws. This could not have been done without CMT Event Planning. They pulled everything together, made it happen, and in the most professional way!

CMT Event Planning is the BEST in the business!!

Hiring Malissa at CMT was the best decision I have ever made!!! I have no family near me and no help planning my special day until I met Malissa. I had her day of services which was really so much more. I could call her with any problems and she would fix them asap. Malissa and her team made our day carefree and stress free. Everything was flawless and exactly how we pictured it!

Thanks so much Malissa and the team at CMT event planning for helping us have a memorable day for us and our friends and family! We couldnt have done it without you!!

All of the vendors that Malissa recommended were the highest quality. Through her, we found awesome cake designers, and a wonderful florist. Malissa took inputs from me and my husband and coordinated everything into a beautiful event. Our day ran smoothly and was very beautiful; we received so many compliments from our guests. We did nearly all of our planning via e-mail which worked well for me. She always responded promptly and I tried not to bombard her with too many questions in every e-mail. As a couple, we brought to her a general idea for a unique wedding that reflected our tastes and desire for simple elegance. A few times I questioned the cost of some items, but they turned out to be worth the price paid for the quality of the product. On our wedding day, she worked very hard coordinating vendors, arranging the ceremony space and reception site, and reminding us of the details we still needed to cover. We are so glad we had our wedding coordination in her good hands.

Malissa is wonderful! We used her the day of the wedding. We didn't have to worry about anything...she saw that everything was taken care of.

Malissa from CMT Event planning made my special day flawless. She paid attention to every detail and everything looked exactly as I had imagined it.
I strongly recommend hiring her because all of the stress that I would have felt on my wedding day without a planner was eliminated and I was able to completely focus on the celebration rather than worrying about what would go wrong.

Malissa and her team at CMT Event Planning made my day both carefree and amazing. Every detail was perfect and she was always there when I needed her, day or night! I could never have planned this wedding without Malissa and I am so very thankful to have met her and worked with her!!!

Hiring CMT Event Planning was by far the best choice we made! Malissa was amazing to work with and is great at what she does! I would definitely recommend her services to any future bride.

I have used Malissa at CMT Event Planning for both of my daughter's weddings. I can not say enough wonderful things about her. She was able to guide us through choices of vendors, fun details and more. Best of all, she saved us money with her knowledge and experience. Malissa makes each bride feel as if they are the only one she is working with. She responds to emails and phone calls promptly and she is also very accessible to mom as well. I was able to enjoy my time with family and friends at both daughter's weddings because I knew she was covering all the details of the ceremony and reception. Some people will think that having a wedding coordinator is an expense that they do not want to pay. Malissa was worth every penny I paid her plus more. She went above and beyond for us and I will always be grateful that she made both of my girl's weddings exactly what they wanted. I wish I could give her ten stars!

Malissa was by far the best investment for our wedding. She helped us with so many topics we knew nothing about and was a big time saver. Whatever your question, she's got an answer or a solution to any problem that could come up. I would and already have recommended her to others. Not only was she helpful but really became a part of our party and our family..we not only got a right hand assistant but a new friend. Don't even think about planning on your own if you value your time or want to keep your stress level low :)

CMT event planning made a really intricate important day flow with ease and style! She recommended all the best most reliable vendors and really took the guess work out of the entire process. Especially when planning a wedding while your fiancee is out to sea, she helped organize it all and make the large tasks seem small. You can always get ahold of her and she responded to email constantly. Any odd question you have she has an answer for it. The day of she made the entire day run like clockwork as well as setting it all up and taking it down. Overall, she was worth her weight in gold!

CMT Event Planning is absolutely fabulous! I cannot imagine my wedding being even half as great without the help of Malissa Murphy. She truly made my wedding day a dream come true and she was extremely invaluable to me. She went above and beyond in helping to make sure my day would be absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend using CMT Event Planning to help plan a special event. You can trust that with the help of CMT Event Planning that no matter what event you are planning it will be GREAT!

Malissa is phenominal in all aspects of wedding planning! I live in Richmond and got married in Norfolk and she made it so easy for me to plan from out of town. I would email CMT and they would handle everything. I could not have been happier with our wedding and the entire planning process. I couldn't have done it without CMT and highly highly recommend them for any brides. Malissa and her team are the reason our wedding turned out simply perfect. Our guests are proof! Thank you, CMT!

Malissa was professional, easy to work with and easy to contact!

CMT Events was great to work! We had a backyard wedding that would not have been possible without the help of Malissa and her team. Throughout the planning process, they were responsive and helpful and always provided solutions to any questions/concerns we had. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything ran smoothly. They took care of everything so that my mom and I were able to actually relax and enjoy the day without feeling overwhelmed once! We have absolutely no complaints. Malissa helped me have the wedding I had always dreamed about. I can't say enough how grateful my husband, family, and I were to have her be a part of our wedding. If we had to do it again, we would definitely use CMT Event Planning and recommend their services to anyone.

I don't think my wedding would have been so perfect it wasn't for Malissa's help. Thank you!

There is not enough space in this box to tell all you brides out there how wonderful and amazing Malissa Murphy truly is. Before you do anything else planning your big day, CALL MALISSA!!! Our decision to hire her at the beginning of our planning was by far the best one we made. We debated between just the day-of versus the full service, and we took the plunge for full service and I am OH SO glad we did!!!!!! Totally totally worth it. She arranged all of our appointments for us, was the main point of contact for all of our vendors (who all know and love her immensely), and organized everything. She set up all of our stuff for the reception (guest book, favors, etc.) and handled all of the little details that can really throw brides over the edge! She was my brain when I (and my mom) didn't have a brain! Because of her, I was able to fully, and I mean fully, enjoy every single bit of my wedding day without having a second's worry about anything going wrong. And that goes for my mom, too. The closer we got to the wedding date, the more we said to each other "THANK GOD FOR MALISSA!!!" Everyone kept asking me the week before the wedding, "are you getting nervous?" and i could genuinely say "nope!" i was so calm and relieved because I knew Malissa was in charge. If stuff went wrong, I certainly didn't know about it because she and her assistant took care of everything with a smile on their faces. That peace of mind is worth every single penny. I was constantly amazed at how organized she was. Always on top of everything with contracts and invoices, and I really felt like she was our agent and expert in the whole process - we always felt like she had our backs on any issue that might come up. She totally stayed with in our budget when suggesting vendors, and I also loved how she didn't totally hijack creating or designing our wedding - she let me have the creative freedom to plan the event, which i really wanted, but she was always there if i needed an opinion or advice. On top of all this, Malissa is just a really sweet, fun, and caring person, and is so great to be around. I know we'll be keeping in touch with her after the wedding and I really miss emailing with her almost on a daily basis now that the wedding is over!! :-) So, bottom line, call CMT Event Planning NOW. You won't be disappointed.

Malissa was fantastic! I don't know how I could have planned a wedding from Chicago without her. I really didn't know where to start with anything and hiring Malissa for the full service package was a perfect first step. She had lots of vendors to recommend - we found a great florist (Catherine’s Distinctive Floral Design), photographer (Justin Hankins), and DJ (Roger at Astro) through Malissa. Since I was planning from out-of-town, we had a few whirlwind weekends of appointments. Malissa set everything up for us. We got so much accomplished and kept our sanity in check. We had an outdoor venue, and Malissa had the great back-up plan for rain, which we had to use. While there were a few hiccups with transportation on the wedding day (as a result, we got $ back), I loved our wedding and I owe it to Malissa.

There is one reason we decided to have CMT Event Planning orchestrate our wedding...Mrs. Malissa Murphy. From the first meeting we had with her to the end of our wedding night, Malissa made our wedding process effortless and enjoyable. Any request we had Malissa tried her hardest to get it right for us. Above all, Malissa had such a positive and loving personality which it made it extremely easy to work with her. My husband and I were married in March 2010 and to this day we look back on our day and know if it had not been for Malissa Murphy we would not have had the spectacular wedding experience that we had. Thank you so much again Malissa and Char (flowers:) for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Love, Greg and Lynsie Cody

Malissa is wonderful. I would suggest that every bride contat Malissa at CMT before they do anything else with their wedding planning. That is the number one priority. She is a wealth of information. She is the best at what she does. Words cannot describe how greatful we were to have her there for us. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. I can honestly say that my week before my wedding I was stress free and my birthday was 2 days before my wedding I had an excellent birthday and was able to enjoy it without thinking about what I should be doing with the wedding. She had everything under control. Every single bride I have spoken to in the last year has told me, "Oh just wait you'll get so stressed out try not to try to enjoy the moments and try to take a step back and relax, but it'll be hard you'll be so stressed about your last minute things." Some told me "Learn to delegate or you won't enjoy it it'll go by so fast you won't even believe it." My husband and I didn't feel that way at all. I have never heard someone say they were so stress free and relaxed. We can honestly say that because of Malissa and he assistant we were able to totally and completely enjoy every minute of our wedding day and our planning. We didn't feel stressed out because she was there to cover every detail. Thanks, Malissa

We wanted to say thank you again for doing such an amazing job with the wedding! Everything turned out perfect and all our guests have told us they had such a great time! I just wanted to say thank you for being so patient and supportive throughout the whole process. We were very anxious about planning a wedding, but you made the experience so stress-free and fun! All of the vendors you recommended: caterer, DJ, cake designer and hair/makeup etc. were so professional and the best of the best. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We were able to have relax and have fun at the wedding instead of worrying about the details. I will definitely recommend you to all my friends! Thank you for helping to create the happiest day of our lives!

I would like to start out by making sure whoever is reading this knows that I never had any intention of hiring anyone to help us coordinate our wedding. I had already done so much on my own with my husband, and with the help of our parents that I was very skeptic of hiring someone. After speaking with Malissa, I realized there were so many details I never had thought about. Following our discussion, I could not see how anything would work without a wedding coordinator!!

CMT Event Services was the core reason that our wedding went so well. Everything was so organized and planned out to our liking! I was so relaxed that they remembered things we did not! We were able to encorporate so much to enjoy our night and there is just nothing more that we could've asked for.

Malissa helped us to be care free and relaxed on our big day. I would highly reccomend their services to anyone!!

Thanks,

Tiffany Shackleton

Oustanding! We didnt think we needed a planner but wonder now what we would have done without her!

I never thought I would need a wedding planning but after working with Malissa I'm not sure how I would have done it without her. Malissa was amazing!!! I would recommend her services to any bride and groom without hesitation.

CMT Event Planning was great! Malissa and her staff worked hard to make sure my day was perfect.

I defended her for a very long time, but then finally realized she really didn't help me with the process at all. Other than telling me deadlines for things I got no help. I ended up putting everything together, designing everything and dealing with A LOT of stress. Nothing went right and I had to deal with it all. I wasn't kept up to date with my budget either. When final payments were due I was notified ONE day before they were due! We got screwed on contracts as well, after allowing her to review them. I would not reccomend her. I could have saved a lot of money and probably gone through less stress doing it myself. When my best friend gets married, I'm helping her do the wedding so she doesn't make the same mistake I did.

I've worked with Malissa Murphy and CMT Event Planning since I started performing for weddings in the early 2000's. I have always enjoyed performing for any wedding where Malissa is coordinating because I know it will be run smoothly, professionally, and on time. Malissa covers all of the details from vendor to vendor and is a huge source of comfort both for the brides she works for and the vendors she works with. I HIGHLY recommend Malissa and CMT Event Planning!

Malissa is great to work with. Excellent communication with vendors during an event makes life easier for the client.

Put your worries aside when you are dealing with this wonderful company. Michelle is on top of everything and puts her best out there to make sure that your wedding vision comes true. She is so easy to work with...........I enjoy creating cakes for her brides because it is like working with family.

I recommend the services of CMT Event Planning to make your Wedding Day a one-of-a-kind event that will be remembered and cherished by you and all your guests for years to come. ~~ Angela Neik www.calligraphybyangela.com 214 957 2155
