Special Event Testimonials

A satisfied bride is a consultant’s best reward. Here is what our brides say ...

I was recently in Florida for a beach wedding and was honored to be able to sit at the reception with the Wedding Planner, Robert Meli, of Bella Rose Wedding & Event Design. He was fabulous! He held my friend together over several months of planning a wedding for her daughter, the phantom bride. It was a wonderful ceremony and reception. Rob told me he ought to write a book about his experiences over the years. That's when I thought of WE TV. I hope you will drop him an email. I think it would benefit you all! I really enjoyed talking with you. Thank you for holding Terry together! Excellent job! - God bless you and yours, Judy Keefer, Arizona

I absolutely would recommend Rob with Bella Rose Wedding any day. He made my experience something me and my husband along with my parents will NEVER forget. He worked with all the vendors and made everything happen just the way we wanted it and even got us some extras. The wedding day could not have been any smoother, there were things that were minor that were going wrong, which had nothing to do with Rob that only picky me would have been mad about and Rob fixed it all and I never knew about it until the whole day was over and a week later when I met up with him to thank him and treat him to lunch he told me it all and we just laughed and laughed about it. I will say the best part of it all is he becomes a life long friend that you always can count on and he is a great person to know and a great friend to have. I truly believe that your wedding day will be even more special having Rob as your wedding planner. - Jenny

Our wedding was on Nov. 05th at Bon Appetit Restaurant in Dunedin, FL. It was a beautiful place for a wedding and reception, plus we had the rehearsal dinner there as well. I was very impressed with their facility, staff and food. I can't imagine not having Rob there on the wedding day. He made sure Steve and I had what we needed, all the wedding party had what they needed, made sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing, he made sure I had nothing to worry about that day except enjoying our wedding. - Christine

There are a lot of reasons to hire Rob from Bella Rose but here is why I did. First we wanted to actually have a great time at the biggest event of our lives. We didn't lift a finger. Instead we enjoyed our guests and our very special day together.

Our friends had a great time too!

Of course girls just wanna have fun and with Rob on your side that's what you get to do. I wanted to get married on the beach, not the dunes behind it. That's where most beach wedding companies will place you. Even the one I booked with had it all set up for the grassy dunes. Rob said to me.. " I thought you really wanted the beach."  He MADE it happen :)

We were in charge of putting our feet up and having an awesome day!

From the first second you meet with the Bella Rose staff your stress is over. I had most of the details worked out, but I didn't want to be on the cell calling to make sure everyone got there, and yeah I liked not knowing that my DJ was stuck in traffic heading into Clearwater. Rob knew and had it all under control. Lets face it... every wedding day has pitfalls, I just didn't know about any until they were all fixed.... ahhhh....... It was the perfect day that went off without a hitch in our eyes. THANKS ROB!

When the day is over you have happy memories to look back on when you have a little help. So many friends told me while I was engaged to just elope and don't deal with all the stress. I didn't elope... I didn't have stress and I had my dream wedding....
