fun and stress free

"Tracey & her team were AMAZING! Our wedding planning process was fun & stress free all because of them! They were timely with communication, organized, and able to turn our dream wedding into a reality! She always made time to meet at the venue, jump on a call, or answer any little questions we had! We are so thankful for Tracey & her teams hard work and for allowing us to enjoy every step of the process without worry. I highly recommend heart melting events! We are going to miss the planning process & working so closely with them."

Enjoy The day without a worry in the world

"My husband and I got married this July (2021) and were lucky enough to have Tracey as our coordinator. She is a true professional and so wonderful at what she does. I decided to work with Tracey after receiving multiple high recommendations for her from other vendors. She coordinated and organized all vendors and made sure that the day was seamless. Tracey is sweet, easy to work with, extremely organized, an expert in her industry and in my opinion the best! Not only is this my opinion, but many family members and friends have reached out to me and complemented Tracey and her team. If you are having a wedding or special event in SLO County, Tracey is your girl!"

best in the business

"Wow where to even begin with how amazing Tracey and the whole Heart Melting Team truly is. We met Tracey shortly after setting a date and from day one, we felt like she was there for us in every way imaginable. From big overarching questions to small details Tracey was always a listener first, never injecting what she might want in a wedding, but every response and every decision her team made was in response to what we were looking for, something really special in a coordinator. She was always there as a wedding planner, but even more she was there for us emotionally through this rollercoaster of planning and always made us feel excited for the big event, no matter when it will happen. Tracey and her team showed up in full force. My wife and I did not feel an ounce of stress or strain the entire day as any surprises that came up (as they always will) seemed to already have been taken care of by Tracey and team before we even knew about them. Not only is Tracey the best in the business, she’s an amazing person plain and simple. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything Tracey. We and our guests will remember our wedding weekend for the rest of our lives!"

everything was taken care of

"As someone who is Type A and checklist-oriented, I loved how organized Tracey was in assuring everything was taken care of! I also appreciated that I could surrender a lot to her, trust her judgment, and stop worrying. She gave amazing recommendations, helped keep me grounded, and her team took care of so many little details that all added up to create a beautiful and smooth wedding! I couldn't be more grateful :)"

tracey came highly recommended

“Tracey and her team were highly recommended to us by our dear friends who had used her in the past. After our first meeting with Tracey we knew that we wanted to continue working with her! To get to the point, we were not disappointed with her services! She is very responsive, knowledgeable, and organized, all things that you want from your coordinator, and to boot, she is honest. If something doesn't look quite right or is out of the budget, she isn't scared to have that conversation with you, and we really appreciated that. Overall her and her team met our expectations, and then some. Yes, hiring a coordinator can be expensive, but trust us, it's WORTH IT!
Tracey and team, thank you guys so much for making our day the absolute best, we will never forget our special day and we couldn't have done it without you!"

would have been lost without her

“Tracey was invaluable as we planned our wedding. We would work with her again in a heartbeat! Through every step of the process, from early planning through the wedding day, she went above and beyond to make sure our wedding went just as we wanted. Tracey kept a tightly organized ship to ensure the wedding went off without a hitch (or just one very good one... which was us...getting hitched), letting us just enjoy our wedding day without needing to worry about anything. There are a lot of things that could have gone wrong that she just took care of, and a number of others she made sure were were prepared for and avoided. Without Tracey’s help, we undoubtedly would have been lost. There’s so much to planning a wedding that you don’t fully appreciate until you get into it. Details like planning for vendor meals, napkin folding, etc. can feel overwhelming and nerve-wracking. Tracey made it feel seamless, though. She kept us on track from a checklist that she brought to our first meeting (thank goodness), and made sure we knew everything we needed to take care of as key booking deadlines approached, which helped us navigate all of the small but necessary details. If you’re getting married at La Cuesta Ranch, we would doubly recommend her. Tracey knows the venue like the back of her hand and has a great relationship with Gabriel the owner. If you’re getting married at La Cuesta, or truly anywhere else, she’s the person to work with!"

part of the family

“We are incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Tracey at Heart Melting Events. Tracey and her fun, dedicated, determined team were extremely professional and provided quality customer service. More than that, they went above and beyond the call of duty. It's all because of Tracey that our dream came true. I can't imagine having the music festival wedding we had in a private town (!) without her and her team. From linen, to flowers, to a glow bar and bounce house for the ceremony and reception- she had it all handled. We received the sweetest, most wonderful feedback from family and friends on how lovely, professional, and creative the decorations were. Most importantly, Tracey and Hearts Melting Events made us feel like a part of their family. We've already recommended her team to ALL of our friends and family!!!"

the best bridal support system

“Tracey was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was always organized, calm, and helped me feel at ease! I met with Tracey a few times before the big day, and she was always so happy and eager to complete any task I threw at her. She coordinated with all the vendors to make sure the timeline, setup, and day went smoothly. Tracey, along with her twin sister Lacey, make the best bridal support system. I can honestly say that these two have become my friends throughout this wedding planning process, and I'm so happy to have worked with them!”

i felt so at ease

“You get engaged and you think, do I really need a wedding planner? Let me say that YES YOU DO! And it should be Tracey. I couldn't imagine pulling off such an amazing and perfect day without her. She really was the glue holding everything together and more than that, she was the shot caller when I couldn't be. She made sure I never stressed by taking the initiative that was needed. From the beginning Tracey made sure she knew exactly what Ryan and I envisioned and she then turned it into a reality. Everything about my wedding was amazing. Tracey made sure the smallest of details were perfect. I felt so at ease the day of the wedding just knowing that she was in control of everything. Her and her team rocked and I couldn't be happier with my choice to have her as my wedding planner. Thank you so much Tracey!”

a bride's dream

“Highly Recommend! Tracey and her assistant were AMAZING! From the first conversation we had I knew she was going to make our dream day come to life. She did exactly that! She worked so thoroughly with all of the vendors and helped to reassure me that everything was going to be great during normal bride stress moments. She is warm, friendly, and a bride’s dream! Her sister was her assistant the day of and the two were so prepped and I felt like they worked perfectly together. Her professionalism, organization, and energy helped make our day better than we could have imagined!”

“If I could give Tracey a 1,000,000 out of 5 I would. She was my savior and a great partner in my wedding planning process and the execution of the day. I owe it all to her!”

She Holds Everything Together

“Tracey, with Heart Melting Events, is truly amazing. We ended up calling her our 'glue stick' because she held everything together. Everything from taking charge to reaching out to vendors, to keeping us in the loop with who she's spoken with, all the way to the day-of; she's professional, fun, and completely organized. I absolutely recommend Tracey (Glue Stick) Costa. :-)” Future brides, if you are looking for a solid coordinator for your wedding, hire Tracey!! You won't regret it!!!"

Goes Above and beyond

“Tracey has such a passion for her job and it definitely shows in her work. She is very professional and very proactive. Our venue closed two months before our wedding and within 2 weeks, Tracey had found another venue for us. She kept me from being the bride zilla I could have easily been. She will above and beyond to make your day the most memorable day and best day of your lives.”

at ease and stress free

"Tracey was so amazing. I felt at ease and stress free leading up to and during the wedding. Tracey had all the details handled and was so much fun to be around on the day. I’m sure I don’t even know half of the things she was doing for us! She was so flexible as well and went with the flow of the night and let my husband and I make any adjustments to the schedule with how we were feeling. I never felt pressured or rushed, she made sure we were happy the whole time."

make your big day flawless

"Planning a wedding is fun, but it can also be stressful. Save yourself the headache and hire Heart Melting Events. Tracey and her team will make your big day FLAWLESS. I was so impressed with their services, that I had to bullet point all of my thoughts because there were so many amazing things that this lady did for us. Bottom line: Tracey and her team are just fun people who are really good at their jobs and will make your day run so smoothly."

well organized and prepared for everything

"Kate and I had a great time working with Tracey. She did an amazing job communicating with us leading up to the wedding day, and the day itself went off without a hitch. The whole Heart Melting Events team really did a good job making us feel safe and comfortable on the wedding day, despite the COVID-19 situation. I hardly had to do any work with our vendors on the wedding day because this team was well organized and prepared for everything.

Yesterday was definitely a success. Thanks so much for everything and taking such good care of us."

a flawless job

"Tracey was an absolute dream to work with! She is extremely organized, professional, and made sure that our wedding vision came to life. She spent countless hours on the phone with us making sure that every detail was accounted for and that all of our vendors knew exactly what to do. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and Tracey was a huge part of that. We would highly recommend her to any future brides as she and her team did a flawless job at making our dream wedding come true!"

dedication, creativity & expertise

"My husband and I had the pleasure of working with both Tracey and Lacey. Double the dedication, creativity and expertise. From the start, we had their full attention and consistently remained a priority throughout the planning process. Because of Tracey’s thorough coordinating, there were no fires for Lacey to put out…that we knew of (how it should be, right?)! Lacey has a one-of-a-kind level of presence on wedding day – always kept us on schedule, but was never seen or heard. Their focus and attention to detail perfected the wedding aesthetics, but always remained effortlessly behind the scenes. These ladies are true professionals that should be trusted with the most important day of your life."

the best decision

we made

"I was one of those brides trying to save money and originally decided I didn't need a wedding coordinator. NOTHING would have come together if it wasn't for Tracey and her team. It is HARD to plan a wedding on your own, and I am so glad I didn't have to!!!! We have had guests raving about how smoothly everything went and how beautiful everything was at our wedding and we owe it ALL to Tracey! She saved my life multiple times, and although planning a wedding is still a bit stressful, she made me feel like I could relax a bit the two months before the big day! She was the best decision we made!!! Tracey is a friend as well and she handled everything so professionally! We love Tracey! We will recommend her to everyone getting married on the Central Coast!"

EVERYTHING I HOPEd FOR AND MORE

"Tracey was my two month of coordinator and she was FANTASTIC! She was always available for me when I was stressing about the wedding. She would reassure me that everything was going to be great and that even if anything went wrong on the day of I would never know and everything would be prefect. Everything was perfect and I had the wedding of my dreams! I cannot thank Tracey enough for making my special day truly amazing. She was everything I hoped for and more in a wedding coordinator and I am so happy I chose her to be apart of my special day."

such a warm hearted human

“From the moment we sat down with Tracey, I knew I wanted her to be apart of our big day. Let me start by saying...she is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G at what she does!!! She is truly invested in her clients from day one, incredibly professional and such a warm hearted human. She made all the phone calls, met with us several times and took care of all of our vendors leading up to our wedding day. Such a relief on our end! When walking into my venue the day of the wedding my vision truly came to life right in front of my eyes! I couldn't have been any happier with our wedding day. So many people had such great things to say about Tracey and her team. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. She is your girl for your big day! (: Thank you again, Tracey!!”

I Recommend Tracey 100%

“Tracey was absolutely amazing to work with. I hired her for the day of coordination and had such a great experience from the moment we met. She was very quick in answering any phone/email questions. She offered her expertise when she saw fit and was very encouraging the whole time. I wish I would have hired her for full coordination. My guest had nothing but great things to say about her and her assistants. I didn't even have to asks my guests, they were quick to say how on top of it the coordinator was. I recommend Tracey 100%. Thank you Tracey for making my special day that much special.”

Hiring Tracey Was Mandatory

“Wedding planning was no walk in the park for us. I was naive about it, but I thought 'hey I like Pinterest so I can totally do this.' We hired Tracey at the beginning of our engagement and my fiancé told me that it was a luxury. He would later take this comment back and say that hiring Tracey was MANDATORY. Little did he realize that when planning our wedding suddenly everything started to go wrong. That was until Tracey took over and then everything started to go right. We met with Tracey the month before our wedding and literally handed over all of our anxieties and worries. During the reception it was almost as if Tracey could read my mind and finish my sentences. I thought out loud “Oh what about” and Tracey was like, “the bouquets. Finished. One step ahead of you” and handed me a cocktail. My bustle broke and Tracey was waiting with safety pins to help fix it. If something went wrong, the best part is I will never have to know it. I get to have the feeling that everything went perfect because I didn’t have to stress about the little pieces and million moving parts. Being able to enjoy every single moment of this day that you have spent planning was so very important. I am forever grateful for all your hard work!”

An Enormous Help

“Our wedding day was the first rainy day in San Luis Obispo in seven months! Tracey was an enormous help - from helping coordinate a last minute tent rental to literally (inconspicuously) sweeping puddles of water off the dance floor - we couldn't have pulled this off without her. We hired her for "month of coordination" but truly she was leading us in the right direction as soon as we hired her six months before our wedding. Thank you Tracey!”

a delightful dynamo

“Booking Tracey Costa of Heart Melting Events was one of the best decisions I made for our daughter's wedding at La Cuesta Ranch in San Luis Obispo. While we handled all of the initial selections and booking of vendors ourselves, I quickly came to realize that I would need help managing all of the final details during the last month, not to mention coordination on the "day of." Tracey was professional, organized, incredibly responsive, and had great advice and insight when we were stumped or overwhelmed by the countless decisions that needed to be made (that we hadn't even thought of!). Our entire family loved working with Tracey and the other vendors were impressed and complimentary, as well. We cannot thank her enough for allowing us to relax and truly enjoy a wonderful day for our family and guests. Tracey is a delightful dynamo and you will not be disappointed!"

people you want to be best friends with in real life

"Tracey and her team did such an AMAZING job!!! We are so incredibly thankful we found them! Like many couples, we had to postpone due to COVID. Ultimately we ended up completely changing our reception location and downsizing our wedding so we basically started at square one for the reception. Tracey helped us bring our vision to life in just a few short MONTHS!! On the day of, it was absolutely perfect. Even though we had some small hiccups that pushed back the timeline of things, Tracey and her team truly made the day perfect and everything still worked out so smoothly you wouldn’t have even known there were hiccups (due to transportation being late)!! We are forever grateful of how amazing Tracey and her team is, they are people you want to be best friends with in real life!! We cannot thank her and Heart Melting Events enough for helping make our day so magical. They allowed us to only focus on each other and soak in every moment of our wedding day, and not stress about anything at all. That’s the type of planner you want to have on your wedding day and we feel so incredibly lucky to have found them ❤️❤️"

We could not be more happy with how our wedding turned out and it is all thanks to Heart Melting Events! Truly such a wonderful team and we had a blast working with them!!"

everything we needed

“Where to start with Tracey and Heart Melting Events. From the moment my now wife and I met Tracey, she was absolutely perfect for us. We went with her two month prior package and it was more than we could ever ask for. My wife and I sometimes have trouble giving up control of our things but Tracey went along with the punches and was so accommodating for us. On the day of the wedding her, Lacey and Julia were absolutely amazing. They were everything we needed and more. Our wedding day went without a single problem, that we knew of ;). We highly highly recommend using Tracey for your wedding. She will go above and beyond to make sure your have the BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!”

My family and I had such a carefree, fun wedding weekend because Tracey was so professional and efficient! She made everything come together and I didn’t have to lift a finger on my big day which made it so fun and relaxing! She also had great ideas that added a special fun element to our wedding that guests loved!"

A Great Investment

“Tracey was of great value to us in the weeks leading up to our wedding day as well as on the day of! She made sure that all of our vendors were on the same page and took the extra steps to set up our reception just how we envisioned. This was really key for us as we had a strong design vision in mind, did most of the planning ourselves, and needed someone we could trust would make it happen! Thank you Tracey for keeping us on track, maintaining a professional and cheerful attitude and assuring our day was as perfect as can be! I highly recommend hiring Tracey as your coordinator, it was a great investment in making sure our day went smoothly and she goes above and beyond what you’d expect! She said it best- ‘we’ll never know what could have gone wrong at our wedding’ because she was there to take care of it.”

Absolutely Essential to my wedding day

"You might be thinking to yourself, "Do I really need a wedding coordinator?" The answer is YES, and that person should be Tracey. She is truly amazing and was absolutely ESSENTIAL to my wedding day! We hired her as our month-of coordinator pretty early in our planning process, because we knew that we wanted to plan and design things ourselves but have someone there that day to execute everything. And that's exactly what Tracey did. She was there to set up and take down all of the decorations, corral the vendors/guests as they arrived, make sure the timeline was being followed, and just generally ensure that everything was running smoothly. She even helped with little things like the boutonnières and my bustle (which no one could figure out). I felt so at ease just knowing that Tracey was there taking care of things, which allowed me and my family/friends to relax and actually enjoy the day. I don't even know how people have weddings without a day-of coordinator! I would have been running around panicking if she hadn't been there. To top it all off, her personality is wonderful-- she's friendly, energetic, and professional, as well as the most organized coordinator that we met with. Even my guests commented on how on top of things she was. I highly recommend her!! Thanks, Tracey!"

absolute best on the central coast

“Tracey Costa at Heart Melting Events is the absolute best on the Central Coast. She had exactly 7 weeks to help plan my wedding and she blew it out of the water. There is not one thing I would change about the whole experience. She is a self started, she responded quickly and efficiently, she was always there to answer any and all of my questions no matter how early or late I would call. Her network of vendors are unreal. She has a way of making you feel like your wedding and happiness is her number one priority. She just goes above and beyond for her clients. Look no further chose Tracey pick Tracey you will not regret it.”

Matt + Salena

Most Crucial Element

“If I could give 100 stars, Tracey/Heart Melting Events would receive them! She was one of the most critical elements of executing our perfect wedding day. Since I'm not a wedding guru, she took time to sit down with us and go over some aspects of the events that we were perhaps not aware of (ex: processional order), and any other possible detail that could have come up. She was extremely flexible and willing to help with whatever needed to be completed on the wedding day. I actually felt RELAXED, happy, and completely stress-free on my wedding day, and this would not have been possible without Tracey and her team. They kept everything on schedule, the day flowing, and the bride and groom happy. Really, what more could you want? She is AMAZING."

Tracey is super responsive and the entire days very well organized. For the timeline, she gave me plenty of time to photograph each part of the day which I was super thankful for! Her team is extremely professional and we all had so much fun working together! I highly recommend hiring her and I hope to work with her again in the future!"

Patrick, Elevatd Media

"I had the incredible opportunity to work with Tracey of Heart Melting Events at a wedding this past weekend (and many prior) and can say without a doubt that her heart and her services only get better and better. There are plenty of wedding planners out there, but if you want someone to truly walk by your side and then throw you the best party you could've imagined, you need Tracey. She's going to make sure you and your guests have a blast and that every detail is more beautiful than you dreamed. Hire Tracey, it'll be the best decision you make.💯"

Christina, Elevatd Media

"We have worked with Tracey from Heart Melting Events on quite a few weddings and can say that she is, without a doubt, one of the best in the biz. Not only does she have all the bases covered to ensure that your special day is beautiful and smooth, but she goes above and beyond and treats that wedding like it's the only event she'll ever plan. If you need someone to throw you the best party you've ever seen, Tracey is your girl. Not to mention, she's a total firecracker. We love her!"

Tina, Loveridge Photo & Film

"Tracey was organized (both the day of and leading up to it) and kind and warm. She made the couple feel calm the entire day and made my job so much easier by how she ran the day. I would 100% recommend her to couples planning a wedding."

Brandon, Brandon Bibbins Photography

"I have worked with many wedding planners over my career as a wedding photographer. Tracey's professionalism, organization, communication, and attention to detail was one of the best I have encountered. She made my job very easy and the Bride and Groom were very happy with her results. Can't recommend Tracey and her team enough. Thank you!"

Kelley Williams, Ashley Rae Studio

"I'm a wedding photographer and I recently got to work with Tracey and her fabulous team! She did such an amazing job keeping everyone on time so that each of the events ran smoothly and she has such an eye for detail! You can't go wrong, you need to book Heart Melting Events immediately!"

Michele, Nikkels Photography

"Tracey and her team are phenomenal! They care for every detail on the wedding day and make our job as the photographer easier by keeping organized and timely.

Allyson Magda, Ally Magda Photography

"I've been shooting weddings for over 20 years and recently had the opportunity to work with Tracey and her team. After that many years, we've experienced a lot of different "styles" of planners. WOW! These ladies were excellent, friendly, happy and organized. The calm energy they brought to the wedding was icing on the cake! I would whole heartedly recommend Heart Melting Events!"

Patrick, Patrick Ang Photography

"Tracey was amazing & I'm dying to work with her again. Her team was soooooo on it & made my job so much easier. From months prior to the wedding to the day-of, they communicated with me & gave me every detail I needed to do my job. The couple & all the guests loved them as well. I highly recommend Tracey & her team. My heart melts for Heart Melting Events. Book them now."

Blake, SLOtography

“Tracey is a total dream to work with ~ she's organized & caring, easy-going & hard-working, she is always smiling (in a soothing & calming way that is oh so welcome on wedding day) and she gets sh#t done! Highly Recommend!”

Jonathan, Bluephoto Wedding Photography

“I've been a wedding photographer in San Luis Obispo for over 10 years. In that time, I have shot over 400 weddings and have worked with a large number of wedding coordinators. Tracey from Hearts Melting Events is simply one of the most outstanding wedding professionals I have ever worked with. There are many planners that have a strong opinion about how a wedding day must go and have a tendency to take away from the potential uniqueness of each event. During the planning process, Tracey was quick to pick up the phone and answer any questions and/or incorporate my opinions into the flow of the day so that I could capture the best pictures possible. I highly suggest going with Tracey from Hearts Melting Events as she is a fantastic choice for wedding day coordination.”

Jon, Jonathan David Studios

"Tracey and Heart Melting Events kills it! As a fellow wedding industry pro I get to work with lots of vendors and Tracey is super great to work with and weddings go off with out a hitch with the girl running the backend. If you're looking for the best then look no further."

“Heart Melting Events is so easy to work with. Tracey is funny, laid back, and professional. As a videographer she went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed, and somehow was able to do the same for everyone else involved. I couldn't recommend a coordinator more for making every detail of a special day come together smoothly.”

"Tracey is a TOP NOTCH coordinator and it's so evident that she truly loves what she does. She's got a rare talent for gracefully holding together so many pieces of an ever-evolving puzzle, from the initial event designs, to all the final details on the day-of. I would 10/10 recommend her for coordinating your wedding or event."

Leslie, Open Air Flowers

"Working with Tracey at Heart Melting Events was a reminder of how nice it is to work with a really good event planner. From a vendor perspective, Tracey is organized, communicative and concise. Everyone knows where and when we are expected. She builds great timelines and on our arrival we were offered assistance if needed help in setting up from her staff. From the very first contact she showed concern for the current COVID-19 pandemic and wanted to know if we had any particular concerns or protocols. She was interested in providing a beautiful and memorable event for her clients while being mindful of everyone's safety as well. Well done Tracey! Hope to see you again."

Dj & Entertainment

Andy, Andy Morris Entertainment

“I have worked with MANY Event Coordinators over the last 42 years. Tracey and her team are a prime example of why you want to go with a Pro instead of "a friend of my mom's who does some weddings." Not only professional and thorough... but FUN to work with! Can't wait for the next time!"

Paul, Epic Entertainment SLO

“Tracey and Lacey, you guys made my job which isn't bad to begin with a lot more fun. I really appreciated your company and all the laughs and how smooth you made the wedding run. We all know that just doesn't happen on it's own. On a side note, I spoke to the groom at the end of the night and we talked about how well the wedding ran and he specifically said you guys "crushed it".

DJ Bob Stock, Phase 1 Mobile DJ

They will make you feel like a part of their family the moment you interact with them. The girls with Heart Melting Events are super easy to get along with. They are professional and courteous. I can’t even begin to tell you how much easier they made my job. I’ve DJ’ed countless weddings and I have worked with a lot of wedding coordinators. Heart Melting Events ranks at the top without a doubt."

Catering

The evening couldn't have gone any smoother and we really appreciated all the support we received. Really hoping to work with Tracey and her team again in the very near future."

bar & Beverages

CJ, Copper & Crystal

“Tracey and her team are the BEST!! We recently worked together at a venue in Paso Robles and she was on top of every detail! As soon as we arrived, she instantly ran us through all the necessary information and made sure we had everything we needed. Throughout the evening, she continually checked in with us and made sure everything was flowing smoothly. With all of us working in 100 degree heat, she thought of everything to make us as comfortable as possible... an ice chest full of water, a vendor table for us to take a break and even made sure we got dinner before the caterer closed up the buffet. I'd work with her every weekend if I could!! :)”

Scott, Officiant

“I wanted to send a note letting you know what I thought of the job you and your team did. AWESOME! So smooth."

Paul, Marriage with Meaning

“As a professional Wedding Officiant, I've been working with Tracey for several years and can't say enough good things about her. I don't see the entire scope of her work, but I get to watch the day of the wedding unfold. What strikes me with Tracey is how calm and joyful she is and how that good energy puts her crew, the wedding party and everyone else at ease. I think that comes from Tracey's organizational skills, her preparation and her ability to make managing an extremely complicated event like a wedding look easy. Book your wedding with Tracey and you will be glad you did!”

Mike, Wine Country Weddings

"As a long-time professional wedding officiant, I work with many different coordinators over the course of wedding season. Without equivocation, Tracey is one of the best, most energetic professionals I've had the opportunity to work with. From rehearsal to wedding day she works diligently to make sure everyone stays on task & on schedule. With Tracey, you know that if there's a glitch, her cool & calm demeanor will get it handled. I would surely recommend her to anyone."

Jason, Officiant

"Tracey was so awesome. She was perfectly prepared and it was very evident she had planned out even the smallest details to ensure the day was a completely smooth and effortless success. She had answers for everything and no details were left unnoticed. I’d recommend her to anyone!"

other planners

Priscilla, Assistant Wedding Planner

"I highly recommend the Heart Melting Events staff! Tracey and her team go above and beyond to make sure all the special details are taken care of and that you and your guests have an incredible wedding experience. I have never witnessed a wedding planner be continuously thanked by the entire family and bridal party for all the special details Tracey incorporated into the couple's special day and rehearsal dinner. Not only does Heart Melting Events make your vision come to life, but they also work with the best of the best. The vendor team Tracey assembled was very professional and worked tirelessly to deliver an incredible experience."

Elyse, Elyse Events

"I had the pleasure of assisting Tracey with her 9/21/20 wedding, and let me just say, this was probably one of the best experiences in the wedding industry I've ever had! Tracey and I are both members of SLO Wedding Planners, and we all try to help each other out and assist with each other's weddings whenever possible. Needless to say, we have all experienced A LOT of weddings. This wedding was beautifully designed (seriously, it was GORGEOUS), professionally planned with quality vendors, and coordinated seamlessly. The execution of this wedding was FLAWLESS. There was no confusion because all vendors had been well-informed of the coordination details, and every aspect of the wedding had been well thought out ahead of time. Everyone involved was so relaxed and was having so much fun the entire day because Tracey had prepared 110%. She was calm, collected, positive, up-beat, and professional the entire day. We even had opportunities for breaks throughout the day, and Tracey made sure there was a table set specifically for the vendors so we could all enjoy dinner together. I will remember this wedding forever, and given the opportunity, I would assist Tracey a million more times!"
