Melissa’s Creation

We had an appointment in January to see Melissa for our July wedding. She was very nice, listened to our thoughts and was patient with our choices of the décor. She showed us her work and has many experiences with different Asian/​American décor at wedding venues.
Without hesitation we fell in love with her work, we chose the backdrop, design of our names, cake table, runway, reception table and our special candy table.
On the day of our wedding, we were amazed with the décor. It was just how I pictured with the flowers on the backdrop and the glittery curtains.
However, there was one minor thing that I would like to mention. The runway was slippery when we walked on it and it was not secured well. By the time we realized it, her team had left already. We had to tell the manager to help us tape down the runway.
Overall, she was one of the best vendor we had worked with and I would recommend her to any new bride and groom to be looking for a decorator.

I went to Melissa’s Creation today to discuss and go over decoration details for my upcoming wedding.
At first greeting, Melissa is very upbeat and very cordial. She wasted no time in understanding what I wanted… showing me previous works she’s done and giving me suggestions when I chose certain decoration layouts. She took down detail notes which made me feel very assure that she does care and listens to what I requested. What’s important is her expert opinion in the decorations. I had a set color scheme: pink all the way through. So when I wanted to add a different color (red), she would be upfront with me and explain that it wouldn’t go with my theme color (red being a color that pops out too much taking away from my pink theme). She could’ve say yes and be done with it, but she didn’t. Since I was no expert in decoration, I needed to know whether or not she would agree to just agree or would she be professional by inputting her area of expertise. I’m glad she gave me her feedback! Plus it didn’t hurt to get some discount off!
I definitely look forward to the actual day of my wedding to see the final results. I’m sure she won’t disappoint me at all!

We worked with Melissa for our wedding and she was great. Melissa is really talented at figuring out what people want for their wedding. For our wedding, Melissa worked closely with us in designing our traditional Chinese wedding. We also reviewed other traditional Chinese wedding setups from multiple vendors but they all seem outdated and we wanted something very different. With numerous face to face sessions with Melissa, she was super supportive and helped push our collaborative idea into reality. Melissa and her team went as far as special ordering customized props and lightings from China.
Overall, I felt that Melissa helped pushed the Chinese traditional wedding setup in New York City into a new era. If you are considering on hiring Melissa and her team, it is definitely worth scheduling a time to discuss your plans. For us Chinese, we wanted nothing else but great Chinese wedding.

I was extremely satisfied with Melissa’s creations. She is super nice, easy to work with and accommodating. She listened to what I wanted and was able to execute it beautifully. I changed my mind a couple of times and she was patient throughout the whole process. She transformed the Chinese restaurant and made it look like a wedding venue. I was afraid it may look tacky but was very pleasantly surprised :).
I also order bouquets and boutonnieres. My bouquet was white and pink peonies, which was an extra $ 80. She has a album with her designs for you to choose but I ended up giving her a picture of how I wanted my bouquet to look. It’s very customizable. She delivered my bouquets to the wedding studio in flushing where I was getting my hair and makeup done at 9am. Then delivered the boutonnieres to the restaurant when she did the decorations later In the afternoon.
The price may seem high when you compare to other Chinese wedding studios. But it’s worth it to have her personally oversee everything. I actually feel the price is reasonable and you won’t be disappointed. She will tailor it to your taste and if you have an extra budget you can really customize it. She will also give you advice of what looks nice and what goes with what if you ask for her opinion. She has all the materials and samples at her office, so you can see and touch it in person. A big plus, for those like me who need reassurance.
Overall I would recommend Melissa’s creations to my friends in the future.

I never write reviews but I was so impress with Melissa that I have to rave about her. She did such a great job with our party hall for my sister in-law’s wedding. She transformed the hall and everyone loved it. Melissa was so nice and personable from the beginning, and continued like that til the day of the wedding. She worked with our budget and did an amazing job with the hall. Malissa was very nice, she always responded to my text messages, she answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend her for any event. I am going to tell everyone I know about Melissa and she is going to do any event I have from now on. I am so grateful I found her!!!

About a year later, after having Melissa decorate my wedding at Jing Fong, I went to her again to decorate my first child’s 100-​day at Grand Harmony. The experience was wonderful. We had plentiful balloons of all sizes, a back drop, and letters. It would have been more expensive for me to buy these balloons alone than she would at wholesale. It’s no secret that she gets them cheaper but she shares the savings with you. More importantly I saved a lot of time and stress. Melissa and her crew were very easy to work with. They’ll have my future business for any big parties.

Definitely the place to go for decorations. Melissa is awesome and worked with my wife on everything… she’s not pushy and tries to work within our budget. has a ‘can do’ attitude and always willing try different and new things… offers suggestions when needed… our biggest concern was making a chinese restaurant not look like one, ha… it’s still a chinese restaurant but she turned it into one of the prettiest setting i’ve been in garnering rave reviews from our guests…

I cant begin to tell you how amazing Melissa is! I had my wedding at Jing Fong Restaurant and was a bit nervous about making sure the restaurant looked nice for my chinese wedding. Melissa is amazing. I met with her several times before the wedding with my crazy bridezilla self and Melissa made the whole processs so easy. From stage set up, to ceiling draping, to the chair covers and floral arrangements. She made sure everything was done perfectly. She is also so personable, nice and funny. I couldnt imagine anyone else as my decorator. She completely brought my vision to life and the place looked absolutely beautiful. It did not look like your typical chinese banquet restaurant wedding and I can’t thank her enough. Highly recommended!

For our wedding in April, we had Melissa decorate our venue (Grand harmony restaurant) which is an old Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Many guests who attended our reception gave positive comments on the decoration. Melissa is also super easy to talk to and she gave her professional and honest opinion. I am glad we had her do the wedding decoration for us.

Melissa is amazing! She is so creative and helpful. One of my biggest worries was how ugly the venue looked! I had my wedding on 3÷13÷2015 at Good Fortune in Flushing and I was so worried because I hated the way the place looks, so I was so glad to find Melissa on Unilocal.Melissa was so helpful. She knows what she’s doing and does not hold back anything. She gave me so much ideas and even gave me tips for issues I never even thought of.
She’s also very fun to work with. She really goes above and beyond for her customers. You can also customize the packages. I purchased the flowers & decorations package (reception table, cake table, ice sculpture table, sweetheart table, stage backdrop, arch, and walkway) through her which made my wedding planning process so much easier.
On my wedding day, she delivered my flowers to me in the morning. When I got to the restaurant, the decorations were complete and I was so happy with how it looked. When the event was over I didn’t even realize when her team came and took apart everything. I received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue looked. People were so surprised that it was the same restaurant. Thank you so much, Melissa! I would highly recommend Melissa Creations.

Melissa’s Creation did super AMAZING at decorating my wedding at a Chinese restaurant, I was so happy & satisfied that everything came out even better that I thought it would be.
I went to Melissa’s the week before my wedding & spoke to Melissa, she was super nice, easy going and funny! Another thing I love about the place is that they have samples of everything. I got to feel the materials of what was going to be on my wedding decorations. And if you have any special request she would advise you the best way to handle.
As you know as a bride on the wedding day I was super busy. However, I did not have to worry anything at all about the decorations, Melissa’s crew came and set up everything & at the end of the wedding everything was clean up as well. So basically worry free and hassle free!
Totally recommended!!!
Thank you so much Melissa Creation for making my wedding party so beautiful.

I loved working with Melissa and her team. I was panicking when I couldn’t find a good decorator. She worked with my budget and made my vision come to life. She had plenty of pictures to catalog and share and she’s gone to every venue you can imagine. She knew I had a strict budget so she advised me to get my centerpieces from a florist to cut out her middleman fee. Melissa also probably has decorated 90% of all weddings (asian) that you have gone to. Definitely will recommend her for all the future brides!

We are so happy that we hired Melissa Creations for our wedding! We met with her a year before our wedding and immediately clicked with her. She is fun, personable and knows her stuff. Through these Unilocal reviews, we knew she would be the one to help decorate the Chinese restaurant for our wedding. She knows all the Chinese banquet halls in the area and is very familiar with their process. We booked her for the flowers, backdrop, runway, cake and reception tables, chair covers and archway.
She made our vision a reality. Very responsive to emails and accommodating to any concerns or needs we had. I loved giving her an idea and letting her roll with it because her suggestions were pretty awesome. We told her our color scheme and she recommended the best ways to use the colors at each area and even recommended another color for contrast.
Walking into the venue was a dream. The team did an AMAZING JOB. It was absolutely beautiful and our guests kept complimenting us on the transformation. The bouquets were beautiful. Colors were gorgeous, chair covers and bows were stunning. It was worth every penny! Everything was so perfect and we can’t thank Melissa Creations enough for making our day extra special.

I originally wanted a small wedding, so I decided to plan it myself. Because I wanted it small and not fussy, I wanted to leave a lot of things out. As it turned out, more and more things were added to my plate that I couldn’t say no to. Melissa’s Creation was recommended to me by a friend. They helped me out with bouquets, gave me recommendations for choosing an emcee and even provided a backdrop. Even though I hadn’t given her a lot of time, Melissa was very accommodating about everything. They are worth every penny; extremely professional and quick, with beautiful results :)

Thank you Melissa so much for everything she did for my Wedding. she gave me such good suggestions when I was planning for the Wedding. I told her the type of flower that I like and she came up with a beautiful bouquet for my Wedding and love how beautiful the centerpieces came up. thank you again Melissa. Keep up with your good work.

First of, I would like to say, I LOVE YOU Melissa! You did such an amazing job at our wedding! You have no idea the rave reviews we got at our banquet. We passed your name all over the place.
Now for the review:
We hired Melissa’s Creation to decorate the Grand Harmony Restaurant in Manhattan Chinatown for our wedding on June 15^th. It was complete luck that we found her when we were looking for a restaurant and she just happened to be there at the Jade Asian Restaurant (Flushing, NY) preparing for another wedding. Her work there was top notch and we knew she was the one to do ours.
Melissa and her crew turned an old restaurant into a fairy tale palace. They decorated the entire restaurant from the doors, walls, to the ceiling. We chose a lavender, purple, and ivory color theme for the tables, chairs, stage, walls, and columns. Not only that, she filled in the gaps and handled some of the details of the layout herself that we had missed or didn’t know what to do about. We couldn’t be more ecstatic at how it all came together.
Considering the size of the job that she had to do, her prices were very reasonable. It is slightly more than the competition, but you get what you paid for in terms of the materials she uses and the creativity and energy she brings to her work. Just for our venue, she must of brought in at least 15 people to put the place together. She has an amazing supporting team who really put us at ease in delivering on what we wanted for our wedding.
Unlike some of her other competition, Melissa has an actual office where we can see her to discuss our ideas. She was always available for us either in person or by phone. Her office also serves as part of her warehouse and showcase where we got the chance to see and feel the material and props she was going to use for the restaurant. She also knew Grand Harmony inside and out and knew what was going to work or not. Her input was invaluable to us in making certain decisions.
Did I mention that her work was so amazing that she now is doing two more weddings for two people I referred her to because they saw her work at my wedding?
I could rave on and on and the quality of her work, but I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.
Keep up the amazing work Melissa!

We hired Melissa for decoration for our wedding at Mulan in Flushing. She did a great job decorating the restaurant to our taste. We wanted a tiffany blue color theme, Melissa was able to do the whole restaurant with that, including backdrop, arch, reception and cake tables. It all tied in very smoothly. I love the lighting she put in along with the decoration. The only tiny drawback is the «double happiness» on the backdrop, it appeared to be a very pale ivory after the lighting, wish it was more goldfish. But other than, everything was very good, and her price is reasonable. We also ordered centerpiece from her, it looked very nice. I would use her again if I need decoration service in the future and definitely recommend her.
P. s. I dropped one of my gold bracelets on the floor, and she found it at the end of the night while she was taking down the decoration, and she returned it to me, that shows what a great character she has, which I appreciate a lot!

I met with Melissa and her team two weeks before the wedding and she made sure the wedding met our expectations. We discussed what we wanted and Melissa made it work. We had our wedding banquet at Jing Fong which was conveniently located down the street from her office. At one point during the wedding, the sashes and flowers along the escalator came apart and Melissa’s team quickly came over to fix it. I was impressed by their urgency and swiftness in making sure the presentation of the banquet hall is maintained.
Melissa’s prices aren’t cheap, in fact, I would say it’s at a premium. She’d probably get upset at me for saying this but make sure you negotiate! She’s cool and has a great attitude but she’s really good at holding her prices. I think I got a great deal. Make sure you walk out of her office feeling that way too.
Melissa has a knack for this line of work. She knows what she’s doing and she seems to really enjoy it. Most importantly she conducts her business professionally.
Oh and she did a great job at Ant F.‘s wedding. See below

My wife and I have attended many friends’ weddings where Melissa did the decoration, and we were very impressed with her work so when it’s our wedding, we immediately contacted her. While visiting her office for consultation, we quickly found out that not only she does great work, she also has a fun, down-​to-​earth personality, and that made us feel very comfortable. We felt like we were discussing with our friends. My wife had many ideas about how she wanted to decorate the wedding reception hall, and Melissa also gave many useful tips based on her past experience and provided us suggestions so that our whole theme are well put together.
On the day of our wedding, Melissa and her team arrived 2 hours early and finished their work ahead of time. She also helped us with other decorations. The backdrop, the cake table, reception table, the runway, columns, and arch all looked amazing. My wife and I was very happy with the way our reception hall looked, and we also received a lot of compliments from our guests.
Thanks Melissa for her great work. I highly recommend her.

i had my wedding party on May 2013. I was glad that I had Melissa’s creation. they have affordable price for basic décor if you don’t need too much detail on it. but base on the chinese venue that i had was kindda old design so i have to add more detail to cover up. of course more detail you want and more price add. but they were so nice to deal with it. Also, they have awesome cartoon board that I really love it.
at my wedding day the venue looks so amazing. it was as good as I expect it. the old design were all cover up beautifully !! I was so glad that I made decision to have Melissa’s creation. I’ve received many compliments on how amazing and beautiful it is.
I’m highly recommend Melissa’s creation if you now looking for decoration. the staffs are so kind and happy to help you in your important day!
