“I approached Melissa as I wanted a special poem for our wedding day. I had been looking for a personal poem and she was recommended to me. She was very helpful and clever in her approach to this, she spoke to both my wife and I separately to gain stories, sayings and memories. Melissa sent over a list of questions to really tease out the information. Melissa took away all this detail and turned it into an amazing poem. It was so well received on our special day, it had my wife and I laughing, smiling and crying. The crowd gave it a round of applause at the end and we had so many great comments (still to this day people remember it). I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a poem for any occasion, you will not regret it and you will have it for life!” (Ryan, 29, Hitchin)

My bridesmaids used My Ode To You for their speech at my wedding and it was BRILLIANT! They had everyone laughing at stories of my terrible ex boyfriends/fashion sense and me crying at just how much my friendship clearly meant to them. They included details of us dating, our engagement, our home, even my husbands dislike of vegetables!! It was a really special moment of my wedding day and people still talk about it now. They even had it framed to give to us afterwards and 4 years on- it is a great reminder of our perfect day.

Just given my Bespoke Valentine’s Ode to my boyfriend and it went down a treat. He has read it four or five times already! Thank you so much!!! I may have cried when I first read it too. It looks so gorgeous in card form and is something we will both treasure. Thanks again. So brilliant. Charlotte, Knebworth

Thank you so much for my Bespoke Leaving Ode! There was laughter, plenty of tears and everyone was so impressed. Everyone was wowed by the idea of poetry as a leaving gift. It was the best thing I could have done to leave them with a sentimental reminder- so thank you so very very much. I and my audience love the poem! (Michelle, St Albans)
Imogen, Nottingham – :
What an amazing idea. I was presented with a large box on my hen do from all my friends and I was overwhelmed when I opened it up. My ode was funny, sweet and personal and made me laugh and cry at the same time! I have read it over and over and had a tear in my eye each time. Even my fiancé admitted a pang of jealously that ‘girls do such nice stuff for each other’. This is a really unique and thoughtful way to share memories and words that we so often forget to say aloud to each other. Thanks for reminding me what wonderful friends I have and what amazing times we have shared. Xxx (Imogen, 34, Nottingham)
