Melissa Dahir

Wedding Coordinator

Melissa began her career as a wedding coordinator quite by accident. Twenty minutes after the first time helping a friend coordinate a wedding at her church in Las Vegas the friend handed over the keys and said, "Great! The job is yours!" So over the next 12 years, Melissa worked hard, developing a successful wedding program from scratch, helping many couples enjoy the weddings of their dreams. She has a passion for the wedding industry, and is constantly looking for ways to grow and learn as much as possible. Her favorite part of coordinating weddings is the unique role of being the "calm in the midst of the chaos." Weddings involve so many components, and Melissa looks forward to helping brides and grooms relax and experience all the wonderful aspects of their special day, making sure all the details are all taken care of.
