Oak + Honey Event Planning Co. specializes in earth-friendly wedding and social event experiences that are creative and stylish, personal and meaningful. Catie's + Jacob's backyard wedding was the epitome of organic and earthy inspiration. From the wild florals to the moody color palette and gold details, their day was truly perfect.
Here at Oak & Honey Events, we love it when a couple pulls us away from Ohio for a dreamy destination wedding. In July, Kelly + Tyler brought us to Hilton Head, South Carolina for their wedding that was full of boho details, and set on a white, sandy beach. Alyssa + Daniel wanted their wedding to have a garden feel with a soft color palette of greens, blush, and gold.

A day-of coordinator, someone who comes in to ensure things run smoothly on the big day, is a worthy investment, particularly when trying to avoid stressors. During her first few years as a wedding planner, Melanie Tindell was shocked by how much waste she was seeing.

I cannot say enough about how amazing Melanie and her team are. I am so grateful we were able to work with Oak + Honey to plan our wedding. Melanie knows EVERY wedding vendor in Cleveland and will help you pick the perfect people to help your wedding dreams come true. She made making decisions easy and quick and took care of so many behind-the-scenes logistics. Our wedding was truly magic, in no small part due to O+H and all of their hard work. I would recommend Oak + Honey to anyone and everyone planning a wedding.

My husband and I, and our families, are so grateful to Melanie and her team at Oak and Honey for not only making our wedding day so magical, but also for making the whole planning process (one that spanned 2 years and a pandemic) so much fun and full of memories. Melanie is so refreshingly down-to-earth, organized, and hilarious. She struck a perfect balance between hearing and encouraging our vision for the wedding, while using her experience to help us make informed decisions and guide us when we were unsure. As someone who hates email and knows nothing about planning events (when asked about

My husband and I live outside the country and I decided to plan my own wedding. Having worked in the event industry and weddings in the past I knew the amount of work I would have planning from afar and getting everything set leading up to and especially the big day. I decided to hire Oak & Honey for wedding coordinating services, and it was the best decision I made during this process. Since we live outside the country, we first spoke with Melanie over the phone and then via Facetime. Even though our initial meeting was over the phone, she was on top of everything 8 weeks out which definitely

I was totally on the fence about whether I needed a wedding planner since I was planning a garden wedding with only 30 people. Hiring Melanie and her team was the actual best decision that I made in the entire planning process. She's incredibly down to earth, honest, and professional. She was such a comfort to me throughout the process and she went so far above and beyond for the full year beforehand and on the day-of. I honestly cannot recommend Oak & Honey enough. My wedding would not have been the same and I would have been a nervous wreck without them. The final event was absolutely gorgeous

I have the unique perspective as the mother of both a bride and a groom that utilized the day-of coordination services of Oak & Honey Events. The weddings were approximately 1 year apart (July 2017 and July 2018). The first wedding involved a bridal party of 16, and 200+ guests. The second had no bridal party, and fewer than 100 guests. Both weddings were flawlessly executed, thanks to the coordination efforts of Melanie Tindell and Oak & Honey Events. We so appreciated the responsiveness of the team during the planning stages, and the coordination of the final confirmations and scheduling of all

Melanie and Melissa are both extremely professional, and also very very good at their jobs. There's a good reason they're the most highly rated wedding planners in the Cleveland area--it's because they're the best. Super organized, very focused, and with a great intuition for what would suit a couple. If you can, go to oak and honey for your wedding. You won't regret it.

Honestly, our wedding would not have been possible without Oak + Honey. My now-wife and I were planning our wedding from across the country and the thought of trying to wrangle vendors and finding a venue was daunting. Melanie and Melissa helped us every step of the way, making a plan with us and keeping us on track. Their knowledge of the local vendors is incredible and we were happy with every recommendation. They also gave us incredible design tips and worked with our vendors with the result being a wedding that was exactly what we wanted, even with a last minute change of plans because of weather

Oak and Honey did such a fantastic job with my sister's wedding that the day after I got engaged, I called them. From that moment on, Melanie and her staff were going above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. Even with all of the opinions and ideas thrown around, I always felt like Melanie was listening to and thinking of me and my fiance first. There is no doubt in my mind that our wedding would not have been the same without Oak and Honey. Highly, highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!!!!!

Hiring Oak and Honey for our wedding was by far the best decision I made during the whole planning process! I was one of those brides who thought I could do everything on my own, but as the day got closer I realized I was going to need some major help pulling all my hard work together in an organized way. My interactions with Oak and Honey were amazing from the very beginning. Melissa and I met about 8 weeks before the big day (I had already booked all my vendors by myself at this point) and discussed how to pull everything together. I was super comfortable handing everything over to Melissa because

Seriously have no idea what we would have done without Melissa and Melanie! My husband/family were not “sold” on hiring a wedding planner but we are now recommending hiring a wedding planner to everyone we know! Melissa kept me sane and broke down the wedding planning process into manageable pieces. Having Melissa at our wedding to coordinate all of our vendors, decorating and corralling our guests was worth every penny! Thank you, Melissa and Melanie, for all of your hard work and patience! You guys did a truly amazing job! Our wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful and seamless without
