hip hip hooray

Meet our team

Hi! My name is Melissa and I am the owner + lead coordinator here at hip hip hooray. I have been coordinating weddings since 2018 when I was in college for couples at my church in San Diego and have loved being able to come alongside couples as they prepare for their wedding (and a lifetime of marriage)! Since then, I've coordinated over 20 weddings and also planned a few. (I also moved back up to LA!)

My goal, as your coordinator/planner, is for you to be able to enjoy your day & one another (and not worry about any of the logistics)!

I am here to (1) take care of all the details to bring your vision(s) to life, (2) provide support for you and your vendors (especially in the weeks leading up to your wedding) so you can focus on getting married, and (3) pray with and for you in this season of engagement!

Of course, I can’t do it alone and have the most awesome team of assistants! Meet the rest of our team below! We can’t wait to hear from you and to work with you!
