Our couples often have the vision of how they want their wedding to look or feel but don't know how to get there or perhaps don't have the time. Sometimes our couples don't know exactly what they want. That's where we come in. We bring our expertise in planning, design and logistics to best support our couples where they need us.

About us
“…We could not have done it without you. Your organisation made our day flow so well we didn’t have to worry about a thing…”
Meet Melanie
The unflappable and super organised Melanie was a lawyer before deciding on a change of career to establish Bellissimo Weddings in 2008. Whilst training to be a lawyer, Melanie worked in hospitality, catering, restaurant management and wedding retail which gave her a huge amount of experience in the wedding world.
Her 18 years in the legal profession taught her some invaluable skills which are crucial in her role as a planner and are used all the time. Working to deadlines, an incredible eye for detail, a huge capacity for juggling a lot of elements at once and years of dealing with contracts - you get all these skills rolled into one with your wedding planner.
Melanie still takes a hands-on approach wherever she can. She is a planner you will find at the helm of your planning journey and she then ensures that everything is implemented as you want it. From the first moment until the last dance - she will ensure that everything unfolds to plan. Alongside her active planning role, Melanie also fronts a small team managing a number of wedding venues, together with her venue consultancy service and co-owner of luxury tableware and furniture hire company The White Chair Company.

Melanie also represents the highly regarded UK Alliance of Wedding Planners for the South West Region. Having trained with them and been a member for over decade, Melanie holds the highest grade of recognition with the UKAWP - Elite Membership and has been an active and highly respected member for many years. She also takes on key training roles and keynote speaking roles within the Alliance.
“…Melanie is amazing, just as we thought “we must go and do that” it had already been done, always...”

“…It was simply magical and without you that wouldn’t have been possible…”
“…your assistance throughout the day was invaluable and having you there meant we could relax and enjoy the day, knowing that you had everything under control…”

“…Melanie didn’t miss a beat. Thank you is an understatement…”

Meet Danielle
Joining us almost 8 years ago, Danielle is a major part of the Bellissimo team. You will find it difficult to faze Danni. No wedding is too challenging for Danni and her gentle, but dynamic approach.
She has experience working with couples for small, intimate weddings right through to international weddings with a multitude of suppliers and transporting guests in from all over the world.
Danni also has lots of experience managing a team and juggling a lot of balls in the air at once (she has four little ones at home too so that's got to be the biggest challenge of all!).
Her calm and warm personality makes her couples feel nurtured and well-looked after. You are in great hands!
