Melissa’s first wedding experience with Amber Events was with us at Erin and Austin’s Hotel Bel Air Wedding. This was a soft, romantic, and classy event at the ever beautiful Hotel Bel Air. Melissa was a great addition as she assisted us with the entire setup, transition, and flow of the evening. This gal is super fun and smart and It was an honor to work with her. Let’s just see what she had to say about her day. {nira}
