Destination Weddings Victoria

We had the extreme pleasure of working with Melissa and Linda recently in planning our March.31 wedding.Destination weddings Victoria came highly recommended. And from our first conversations we had we knew they were part of our team. We had a short time to plan a wedding and these ladies know their stuff and made it easy. From vendor info, locations, photography, decor, you name it. These ladies saw us through some tough personal times and managed to keep us pointed in the right direction. Our relationship as much as it was business felt like family.We are truly blessed to have had and will continue to have these ladies on our side.Thanks so much for everything you did. You went the extra mile and we are so grateful for it. You made our day more than we could have imagined.Terry, Courtney and London

After almost a year after getting married, we have had some time to think back to the amazing day we said I do". Thinking back it is safe to say the day would not nearly been as special without Melissa. She communicated very well leading up to and on the day of the wedding

Melissa was amazing to work with!!! Destination Weddings Victoria made our special day absolutely perfect. They really made sure everything ran smoothly and that everything was organized. We highly recommend all their services.

I cannot praise Melissa enough for our pop-up style elopement wedding. She thought of absolutely every detail and truly captured our vision. Essentially all we had to do was show up!!! We got married at a special location in East Sooke Park with our parents and dearest friends. The ceremony was breathtaking and the champagne toast and cake was delicious and super fun. We 100% definitely recommend Destination Weddings Victoria and Melissa Barrie!!!!!!

Originally, my wife and I didn't really think that we would value the services of a wedding planner, but we soon learned how ignorant we were.Melissa really helped ensure that our wedding was as smooth as it could be and while we were busy enjoying ourselves to the fullest on our wedding day she would check in on us and guide us to whatever the next step was during the day.As for preparations beforehand, she did a great job of taking a big picture view of our wedding, but where necessary had great attention to detail. She coached and guided us when it was needed and gave us space when appropriate.If you're going to have your wedding on the island I would STRONGLY encourage you to hire Melissa.

This company has been completely unprofessional in their communications and efforts following a spring wedding ceremony.In a wedding service they organized, my veil was lost. When I asked for help, Melissa not only gave different stories about what happened to different people, but told me to not fuss so much over a piece of cloth." She then refused to tell me the names of any third-party companies she hired for the ceremony

Melissa and Linda were a dream to work with. I can't recommend them enough! Melissa was our wedding planner for over a year and she was amazing at helping us navigate our wedding during the pandemic. Plans were changed quite a bit and Melissa was always incredibly helpful in coming up with new and creative ways of moving forward.She was very flexible with meetings and discussions about our wedding and was so accommodating with our busy schedule. She was so professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and kind, and we formed an amazing bond working together. If you are planning a wedding in Victoria, I highly recommend Melissa, she is truly amazing at what she does!Linda provided the most gorgeous decorations as well, and made our special day beyond beautiful. She was also incredibly kind and accommodating and a true professional. If you want a gorgeous wedding, I highly recommend Linda.Thank you both for making our wedding so perfect!-Stephanie

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about our POP-UP wedding experience. Everything from the Location to the flowers, the coordination and decor, everything was perfect. Such an amazing day. We were pleasantly surprised by what our coordinator was able to do within our budget. Great communication, we had absolutely nothing to worry about, everything was taken care of!

We had the privilege of working with Melissa and Linda over the past few months in preparation for our daughter's wedding.The wedding was this past Sunday, May 20th. I can't say enough about what an outstanding job Linda did with the set up, decorating and clean up. She completely caught my vision and was so attentive to every detail.I had no idea how important a wedding planner could be. Melissa was indispensable. She was so warm and calm but very organized and detailed. She kept all of us on task and schedule in such an efficient way. She continually gave us good advice about so many things we didn't even think about.Both Linda and Melissa helped to make it a perfect day. I was so grateful to just be the mother of the bride.

We had an amazing experience working with Melissa (and Linda!) to plan and pull of our wedding. It was a truly magical day, and thanks to Melissa we didn't have to worry about any of the details. She was so organized and let us know step by step what we needed to do. I highly recommend working with this talented and intelligent woman!
