About Me
Hi, I’m Melissa
Wedding & Event Planner
So Much to Think About. So Little Time. That’s Where I come In.
Hi, my name is Melissa Tharp and I want to be your wedding planning savior.
Let me take the burden off of you as I help to create your perfect Fort Myers Florida wedding by creating customized packages that suit your needs.
Starting from our very first conversation and throughout the process, I will be there to get to know you – the couple, your vision, and style for your magical day.
Leveraging decades of experience in the region’s wedding industry, I specialize in sourcing and booking outstanding locations that are a perfect representation of the Gulf Coast’s appeal.
From booking top vendors to orchestrating complicated logistics, I take care of every step of the planning process with thoughtfulness and detail.
I specialize in the ever-so-dynamic Fort Myers wedding scene and will make sure yours is handled with personalized care – no matter whether you want an intimate beach wedding or a large party in a historic venue.
A dedicated professional, I synchronize the post wedding activities including resolving vendor bills to the return of rented stuff.
With my friendly and personable style, I help to keep you informed every step of the way.
As a passionate event planner in love with crafting unforgettable moments, I provide personalized services that capture the magic of Fort Myers, from weaving in local customs to advising unique touches that make your wedding as unique as you.
I’m prepared to make your Fort Myers wedding a joyful and carefree celebration, allowing you to treasure each and every moment spent in this magical destination against the backdrop of Florida’s sunny shores.

She helps set the tone from themes, through decor and colors, to that special touch you design in for your occasion. Melissa is also an essential part of selecting the right vendors, using her contacts to suggest quality vendors that fit with the style and budget of the couple.
Melissa is a careful planner, writing and rewriting the wedding day schedule to assure that every detail flows smoothly. She is a true picture of dedication to the service she provides her clients – whether it’s organizing rehearsals or facilitating on-the-day logistics – she handles all aspects of her role, which enables her clients to relax and enjoy their day.
Melissa will keep up communication during the planning process, to keep the couple updated and reassured so they can feel comfortable and supported.
Ultimately, it’s the personal, communicative and meticulous approach that Melissa Tharp brings to wedding planning that ensures that every client’s special vision is not simply recognized, but expertly brought to life.
