Our approach to wedding planning and design is intentional. We excel equally at overseeing the many logistics that it takes to host a well-planned event, as well as creative, thoughtful, and custom design tailored to your unique style. The CED team handles ongoing project and budget management, communications with your wedding professionals, and of course event production and coordination.

“Do I really need a wedding planner? The answer is yes. You do. Specifically Melissa and CED. Melissa will be there for you from day 1. She's not just a planner, she will become your friend and take a genuine interest in your lives together as a couple. She is respectful, organized and professional. When you mention your Airbnb has no body wash she shows up the next day with stress relief Lavender soap."

Planning celebrations aside from your wedding?
We ARE KNOWN FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN’S MOST CREATIVE SPECIAL EVENTS
“Melissa and her team were a joy to work with! They were so organized and on top of things which made the wedding planning process a lot less stressful and a lot more fun! Melissa's knowledge of the industry and her contagious positivity made our experience with her better than we could have imagined. She executes quickly and was so supportive throughout this process. Our wedding would not be as special as it was without her. We recommend Conradie Event Design to anyone that wants a memorable and fantastic event! We are grateful to have gained a dear friend in the process."
