Setting the Stage for Lasting Memories

Yvonne Caole-Sousa launched UME in 2015 after years of management in the hospitality industry.

The best!

The best -- could not have imagined our wedding without Unique Melody! Yvonne, the owner, was response and professional and within budget. Our assigned planner, Steph, was my "weekend of" coordinator for our wedding in West Dover, VT in August 2025. She is the best! She kept us running on time, managed every little detail, remembered things we didn't, and even danced a line dance with us! They set up the decorations, took everything down at the end of the night, and felt like family when all was said and done. Our day was beautiful and relatively stress free. (I'd been married once before years ago with no planner and several things went awry back then - so I know the difference a good planner makes.) Our day was truly amazing! Our venue even told us she's the best planner they'd seen. Steph is the best, and has a lovely personality and sense of humor to boot. Steph's assistant Katrina was awesome, and even helped dress our dog, who was part of the wedding. You can't go wrong with Unique Melody! We are still floating on cloud 9 from our wedding weekend and are so grateful for them!
Superb Day-of-coordinator

We were on the fence about whether we needed a day-of-coordinator, but within a week of bringing Yvonne on board to help us in the last six weeks, we learned we’d made a key decision. For not only did her expertise save us time, stress, and even money in the build-up, but her organization, professionalism, and sense of calm radiated through the wedding day. We never felt like Yvonne was hovering over us, or that she was trying to take charge of our day. Rather, she was always there to support us in our vision. She noticed things before they turned into problems and fixed them quietly. And whatever anyone needed, whenever they needed it, she was there and ready to help. We cannot recommend her business highly enough.
Hire Yvonne!!

Yvonne did an incredible job as month of coordinator for my wedding! I can't recommend enough that you hire Unique Melody for your event! I was initially very nervous to hand over my wedding to her as I had spent SO many hours on all the details but I'm SO glad that I did. She executed it with such attention to detail. I mean she was even replacing candlesticks as they were burning out! It was so helpful having her there to navigate the ceremony rehearsal the prior day and then making a weather call the day of. Her and her team worked SO hard to make all my wedding dreams come true. Whenever an issue came up they were very quick to fix it. She was extremely adaptable and no problem was too big for them to solve. My seating assignment were hand written cards that they had to so meticulously hang each card with lots of different adhesives. They kept us on a tight timeline even though all the speeches were WAY longer than they were planned to be. I'm so grateful for her an her team and she is such a pleasure to work with. THANK YOU UNIQUE MELODY!!!!
