Let's Do This Event & Wedding Planning

Melissa and her girls at LDT were super helpful and attentive on our crazy day. Melissa even helped make some decisions for us when we were being indecisive in time crucial decisions. That may seem out of place to some people, but it really got things going. I liked that.

Even when my bride-to-be was freaking out about all the little things (like brides usually do) Melissa was there to save the day by recommending a new makeup girl and contacting all the vendors to make sure they were where they need to be ON TIME. Overall a great experience thanks to Melissa and her team; and I'm not just saying that because I was the groom!

My Husband Josef and I chose Let's Do This Event & Wedding Planning for our special day because they were highly recommended. Melissa Laudise Veenstra was my Wedding Planner. From her sending me texts telling me she found escort cards half off and will pick them up for me to texts just asking me how I'm feeling that day. I honestly felt like she wasn't just my wedding planner but my maid of honor too. She gets involved emotionally (is known to send you a card on your One year wedding anniversary) physically (will make a cord stretch for your slideshow to play correctly) and creatively. (With me being an Actress and my husband being a Producer, she suggested printing out 4x6 movie posters to be our table names) Her ideas were original and totally affordable. This woman knows what she's doing and the best part is she has a passion for it! My wedding was flawless thanks to her and if something almost happened (which it didn't) her team fixed it. This woman and her crew can do it all! Were not only happily married now but were also happily highly recommending them!

We had Candace as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding at Lanikuhonua. Supposedly she was an intern so the rate was unbelievable, but she worked at the highest leek and we could not have been more pleased with her. She did everything to make the stress of the upcoming wedding go away. I trusted her to get things done that she said she would. She was also amazing at dealing with a vendor that we were particularly frustrated with.

Candace worked so hard for us and the wedding turned out amazing. She was able to fix a few glitches on the fly plus she used all the extra flowers I had to make the decor awesome.

Thank you Candace. HIring you was the best decision we made in this wedding process!

Candace was awesome! Very easy to work with, super helpful, and very reassuring during a stressful time. Loved her! We didn't have to worry about ANYTHING on our wedding day, just having the best time of our lives :)

What can I possibly write that would actually glorify this amazing woman and her company in the proper light? To be fair, words cannot truly describe how wonderful it is to work with Melissa and her team through out your entire wedding planning experience. She encompasses the true essence of professionalism, calmness, kindness and assertiveness all while being your best friend: ASTOUNDING! I not only feel as though our day was perfect, but I truly feel I have gained a friend as well. Thank you Melissa and LTD for being the best choice (besides my hubs of course:) I could have possibly made for our once-in-a-lifetime moment. If anyone reading this is trying to make a decision on which wedding planner to use in Hawaii, you really shouldn't look any further. LTD will hands down be your best choice; if you use them, I promise you'll be happy you did.
Love and Aloha,
Heather and John Bedford

We couldn't have been more pleased with the way our wedding turned out! Melissa went above and beyond in every aspect. She was always available to answer questions and was always on top of everything. She even made her self available to see the site and help us with the food options when it wasn't expected. She was such a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her! Thank you Melissa for your hardworking and friendly and professional presence throughout our wedding planning!

Melissa is super organized, professional, friendly and AWESOME. She helped me tie up the loose ends that I never thought about and kept me relaxed and informed. While I used her as my "Two Weeks Out" Coordinator, I definitely would consider her to do everything from soup to nuts if I were to go back in time and do it again.

If there were any glitches on the big day, I had no idea - Which is the most important part! The wedding day was seamless thanks to Melissa and her team. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of hiring a coordinator.

Candace Redongo of Let's Do This! was my day of coordinator for my wedding at the Mid Pacific Country Club in Hawaii. Candace was an absolute professional in every sense of the word, and very good at what she does. My event was a huge success to all who were present, and much of the credit goes to Candace for keeping everything organized, under control, and running smoothly. She went above and beyond to help me secure a DJ when mine cancelled in the last minute, she acquired a cupcake tier in the last minute, and she came in early and set the decor up so beautifully and exceeded my vision of what I wanted. She coordinated the day perfectly so everything went smoothly and incorporated ideas for making things even better than I had planned. My family and everyone who had contact with her were really impressed by her work. I am so glad that I went with Let's Do This and that I had Candace as my coordinator, as the day was really just perfect thanks to Candace's fine work in tying everything together.

I had the great pleasure of working with Candace Redongo and Let’s Do This Event and Wedding Planning in early November of 2011. Melissa Laudise recommended Candace to me and when I met her for the first time it was clear why. Candace is extremely calm, collected, professional and kind. I was a frantic mess (destination bride syndrome) and she made me feel 100% better. She asked all the right questions, made sure I had thought through all the details that simply don’t occur to you, and made sure that I had expressed my vision to her so she could be sure it was executed.
The days leading up to the main event she was attentive and available. She sent helpful reminders and was patient and kind. At the rehearsal she was able to manage some very big personalities with grace. The day of the wedding there was nothing she hadn’t thought of or already done. She played liaison to everyone around me. She was working constantly behind the scenes making sure we kept on schedule - but never disrupting the natural flow of the event. She is what I like to call, a wedding ninja. She even sent my husband and I off with little pre-packed dinners to go and drove out the day after to meet my mother at a dinner to drop something off that had been left at the venue!
Having her there was the best decision I ever made. Even my photographer mentioned how incredibly proactive and professional she was while also being an incredibly calming presence – the exact thing you need at a wedding.

Let's Do This Event and Wedding Planning is THE ABSOLUTE BEST. Once Melissa took over we truly DID NOT have to worry about a thing. She took care of everything. She was organized, thoughtful, supportive and let us relax during a very stressful time. Even for a simple wedding celebration there are so many details to consider and Melissa knew them all and guided us through them. No issue was too big, or samll, for her and her staff to take care of. I can highly recommend her and her staff without any hesitation. She is the best.....

Melissa is awesome! We got the two weeks package, which was just right for us. I am originally from HI but now live in LA, so I am a destination bride. Melissa was very quick to respond to emails and texts. I passed on all the contracts and our general timeline at the two week mark. From there, Melissa took over and contacted all the vendors to confirm times. She got us our timeline within a few days. Our very first meeting was about 45 minutes long. Melissa basically had a list of all the detailed questions she had with what we wanted and what we had requested of our vendors. She's very efficient, professional, and so upbeat! The day of the wedding, I felt so relaxed that I think I neglected some of my duties as host. Not to worry, though, because Melissa and her assistant were quick to remind me. She was also very good at directing my hubby and his groomsmen on decorating. I would recommend her to everyone! All the other vendors kept telling me... your wedding coordinator is so on it! Yup! Day of the wedding, she wore a "Let's Do This!" shirt and everyone loved it! She's quick thinking, great at solving any last minute problems/concerns. She does the rehearsal as well, which made me breathe a lot easier. Melissa is superwoman!!

Let's Do This allowed me to be stress free not only on my wedding day, but in the months leading up to the big day as well! Melissa is responsive, super helpful, and really knows the industry. She worked with awesome vendors to make our big day more than we could have dreamed! Let's Do This rocks :)

It was incredibly helpful to have Melissa be our wedding planner because she helped execute our ideas. She is a great listener and 'get's our style after spending time /sharing our ideas with her over the 8 months of our planning. Because of that, she is able to execute seamlessly and able to make executive decisions for us the week leading up to our wedding so we can relax and enjoy being with our friends and family.

Melissa is awesome! Her team made sure my day was absolutely perfect from start to finish. She took care of every last detail, made the day run smoothly and kept me (and my mother) worry-free. Melissa was available by email throughout the entire wedding planning process and recommended the best vendors which I couldn't be happier with. Melissa & Let's Do This are wonderful... I wish I could get married and use her again! :)

Thanks to Melissa for the great wedding you put together for us!. It was super, and will be a memorable trip we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Your recommendations and your coordination for the location, the officiant, the photographer, flowers, dinner, and your coordination of hotel, and car reservations and other arrangements were superb!

Dmetri did a outstanding job on the photos and DVD and it all turned out wonderful. We show all our friends the DVD and they all love it!

Thanks to you and Dmetri for a great job!

If either of you or Dmetri ever need recommendations or endorsements from us we will be glad to provide a great one! We are very happy clients! " Let's Do This Event" ....... did it great!

Aloha and thanks so much!

Melissa Laudise was an amazing coordinator! We felt rest assured from day one. She was so on it in every aspect. Her response time to calls, texts, emails, etc was remarkable. She took the stress out of the process and let us focus on the fun. She made the planning stages feel like smooth sailing and kept that same vibe for wedding week and most important wedding day! Anyone would be lucky to have her helping with their wedding. Melissa was a big part in our wedding turing out better than we had ever imagined and has become a dear friend we will cherish always! :)

Let's Do This was amazing! I'd been to other weddings and events planned by Let's Do This, so when it was my turn to get married I knew who to call! Everything was perfect: Melissa scouted the location and found the picture-perfect beach setting for our ceremony and photos...in fact, we did not have a professional photographer lined up but Melissa came to the rescue with a wonderful surprise--a photographer in a bikini to capture our once-in-a-lifetime moments! She worked out a fantastic deal for us and we are so happy we ended up with professional photos. She thought of everything--pastor, location, flowers, photographer...and she arranged everything without us having to pick up the phone except for our one phone call to her! We would definitely recommend Let's Do This for any event, and we plan to hire Melissa and her wonderful crew for an anniversary party and baby's first birthday in the future. Thank you Melissa for all you do! Karl & Nicole Harbottle

Mellisa was an amazing planner for me. Like all brides I was frantic up until the day of the wedding but she made sure that everything was taken care of on our special day. I actually enjoyed my wedding day and none of the seams of the logistics were ever visible. Everything was taken care of and she even brought her own holders for my flower arrangements at no cost.

It was a perfect experience and I am so glad we found her. She and the people she interacted with are the only wedding vendors I had who didn't try to upsell me. In fact, she stayed well within budget and let me know as soon as I was requesting something over my own limit. She's incredibly patient, cool and smart enough to know which questions to ask. Hire her and you'll be happy.

I was SO impressed with Let's Do This Event & Wedding Planning. I hired them as my day of coordinators, and it was the BEST decision that I ever made. Both Melissa and Jess went above and beyond to make my day seamless and special - they answered countless emails, told my vendors to call them instead of me (I loved that!), and even packed up to-go plates of dinner for my husband and I to eat after our reception (which we did eat! We didn't realize how hungry we were at the end of the night!). Look NO further for your wedding planning needs....

Melissa Laudise of Let's Do This! is a wonderful, professional, dedicated wedding planner who I highly recommend to anyone. She is personable, responsive, creative, and flexible. She catered to my needs and responded to each of the hundreds of e-mails I sent to her! She went above and beyond for us - she even picked us up and drove us to get our wedding license! I am detail oriented, and Melissa did not miss a single detail for my wedding. You will be glad you chose Melissa as your planner. Because of Melissa, I truly had the most gorgeous wedding. Thanks, Melissa! :o)

Melissa was wonderful, quick to respond to my emails and had fixes to all the problems we brought to her!! She had great suggestions for vendors we ended up using, money saver, plus they've worked with Melissa before, so the ease of the vendors having worked together before was priceless!! I'm so glad we hired her, she saved me from going insane on our wedding day, I tend to be a control freak, but Melissa made me so confident in her abilities, I did nothing but enjoy our day and it turned out better than I could have imagined!! Thank you Melissa!!

Melissa and her team were phenomenal!! I was planning my wedding full time so I didn't think I needed a wedding planner. Boy was I wrong!! After meeting Melissa at a friends wedding I knew I desperately needed her! I had a few surprise guests that we were thrilled to see, but if Melissa wasn't there to handle the seating chart I know I would have broken down. I just remember looking in her direction and seeing that she already had it covered! She and her team even surprised my husband and I by setting up our presidential suite before we got there! It was amazing. I cannot imagine how my day would have went without her. She is extremely professional, sweet, easy going and for me a total life saver! Especially through the times when I thought I was gonna lose it she was absolutely calm and instantly soothed my nerves! I know it sounds corny, but she truly made my dream wedding come true.

Melissa did our event for 10/09/10. My now wife and I are very busy professionals and very little time to plan things. We had picked the venue and the theme and did very little else. She brought all the details out, finding our cake maker, florist, bar staff, and all the details we had little time for.

The Wedding was fantastic!! Many of our friends thought it was one of the best weddings they attended, as well as one even commented it was "A fariytale meets Paradise"

She is truely the best!!

Brides,
If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further - Melissa Laudise is your gal. In all honesty, she made not only our special day come off without a hitch, she offered up numerous thoughtful ideas to enhance our day (such as replacing our guest book with postcards that our guests wrote to us from the wedding, and upon arrival home had them in our mailbox). She goes above and beyond no matter what you request her to help you with. There is no issue or task too difficult for her and her staff to tackle. Her problem solving skills and personality make you feel like you should on your wedding day - relaxed and blissful. She puts her heart and soul into her work, and she is a consummate professional.

Let's Do This Event & Wedding Planning were great. Melissa was a big help every step of the way. She also handled any and all issues that came up so that we did not have to. She also kept us focused on our special day by working so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. She also has a good network of vendors that she has worked with before. There is not a more committed wedding planner around.

Five stars across the board!

My wedding was beautiful, care-free, and so much fun - and I have Melissa to thank for it. She was the perfect balance of attentive listener ready to capture and be excited about my vision with me while also ready to offer a strong and helpful opinion when needed.
