"SHINE has employed MELON management consecutively since 2008 to ensure that our guests have the most welcoming and stress free evening. Lucinda and her team look after our guests from the moment they arrive to the last good bye at the end of the night. They are involved with welcome at the door, cloakroom, seating the guests at dinner and, most importantly, they are responsible for spotting and collecting donations from auction lots and pledges made through IML interactive handsets.  Melon’s involvement is a huge plus point to our evening running so smoothly, and being so enjoyable, or our guests." Charity Annual Benefit Dinner. SHINE, November 2008, 2009 and 2010

 

 "Thanks so much for organising a great event.  I’ve had nothing, but positive feedback and loads of it.  From my own point of view the day ran so smoothly it was untrue and it was lovely to relax and be able to enjoy taking part; the venue and catering was amazing (lots of people have commented on the good food and stunning location); you and your team were fantastic – very enjoyable to work with and kept the day running like clockwork; the tasks were great – really varied, challenging and fun; and we achieved the buzz and bonding that we were hoping for from the event." BSkyB - AETN, Team Building . October 2010

"Thank you so much for all your hard work for our wonderful picnic at Ascot last week.  It all worked perfectly!

Please pencil it in for next year." Private Client, June 2010

"We are extremely grateful to Lucinda and her team for making our wedding party truly a day to remember and would highly recommend her services without question. " Andy and Elinor Stone, May 2010

“With a multitude of chefs, producers, shop owners, tradesmen and experts, not to mention all their produce, arriving from Normandy, our requirements were not exactly straightforward.  MELON handled everything with calm professionalism from the outset.  Within the space of just a few hours the venue had been transformed beyond recognition into an exciting and inspiring space for the event and was dismantled just as quickly afterwards.  The MELON team could not have been more helpful and cooperative, assisting in the creation of a hugely successful event which went beyond our expectations and impressed everyone who attended.”
Normandy Tourist Board, Taste of Normandy, September 2009
