About Ivory & Sage Weddings

Ivory & Sage Weddings

Lead Planner

I graduated in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in business management, and throughout college I received certifications in marketing, event management and advertising. I absolutely love my job and all the challenges that come with it, and I feel I’ve been thoroughly prepared for anything that could be thrown my way. ​ I started this company in January of 2020, when I started planning a friend's wedding and realized my passion wasn't just event planning, it was wedding planning. I took the time to train and understand different types of weddings, so that I can make sure my job is done right the first time.

I take pride in making sure that a job is done right the first time, not the second or third. My brides will never have to wonder if something was taken care of, or if they forgot anything on one of the most important days of their lives. If you had to worry about a single thing other than your future husband, I haven’t done my job right.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Positive

  • Ivory Sage Let us down

    I hired a coordinator to avoid wedding-day stress, but instead, I had to step in and manage issues that should have been handled. I really wanted to love working with Ivory & Sage Weddings, but my experience fell short. Weeks before my wedding, I noticed their Google business page and reviews were taken down, which gave me reservations. Around the same time, communication became an issue — emails went unanswered, our main meeting was reassigned last minute, and details I had already confirmed still showed up wrong on the timeline along with incorrect songs. The floor plan, which I understood to be included, wasn’t delivered until six weeks later than the contracted time, and only two weeks before our big day, after multiple follow-ups. We paid extra for their setup/breakdown package, only for me to be pulled from my own reception to explain what we had already arranged and paid for. The morning before my wedding, I learned our point of contact wouldn’t be there (due to medical reasons, we were very empathetic), and we’d be working with someone we’d never met who arrived two hours later than Maeghan was going to be there. Setup looked great, but breakdown was delayed and tense, including one comment to my godfather: “No one’s going to notice it — you’re making a bigger deal out of it than it is.” Meaghan has industry knowledge, but it felt like she had bitten off more than she could handle and has absolutely no empathy for our experience. As someone who is only getting married once, I hired a coordinator for peace of mind. Meaghan accepted no responsibility, and did not check in after not showing up on our day. If you’re highly Type A and don’t mind double-checking details or essentially managing alongside them, you might be fine. But if you’re looking for someone to truly take charge so you can relax and be present on your day, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

    Maeghan and her team were absolutely phenomenal! If you're considering working with her, don’t hesitate—she is incredible. Maeghan was a joy to work with and truly made our day so much better. I am beyond grateful for her and her team’s dedication and professionalism, especially in handling unexpected challenges seamlessly. They exceeded all expectations and were worth every penny! Highly recommend!

  • Highly recommended!

    This review is way long overdue! I got married on August 30th, 2024 at the Springs Events Venue in Wallisville, and hired Ivory Sage Weddings as my month of coordinator. I cannot say enough great things about Maeghan! She was very professional and easy to work with. She was easy to contact, very communicative and answered any questions that I had in the planning process and made the day of 100% stress free!! She handled all of the communication with the vendors, created our timeline and managed the setup and breakdown once the wedding was over. I 100% recommend Ivory Sage Weddings to any bride in search of a coordinator. Maeghan also offers different packages that include full service planning, month of planning, or just day of coordination, she’s got you covered! She also offers rentals as well.

    Brooklyn was our day-of coordinator and did a great job of decorating and working with our vendors that day. However, I would never recommend this company to anyone. Maeghan is the owner and clearly struggles to stay on top of her business. She barely communicated with me leading up to our wedding day. I scheduled a 15-min call with her a few weeks after booking her to figure out what the next steps were. She acted annoyed and basically told me that there was nothing to do until closer to the wedding. She told me that I could schedule my timeline meeting and we could discuss the day-of timeline as well as what decor I wanted to use from her inventory at that time. When that meeting came up, she spent 20 minutes asking me questions that I had already provided her answers to and then refused to discuss decor until 30 days out. I repeatedly sent her emails with INCREDIBLY detailed wedding plans (I've managed events professionally for years), and she clearly never looked at them. According to our contract, we should've had a coordinator at our rehearsal, but we didn't. On our wedding day, Brooklyn did a great job of setting up and decorating our venue. However, we also paid extra for someone else to handle our buffet (it was just charcuterie & pizza, so very easy refilling). We also paid extra for clean-up at the end of the evening. The buffet runner did virtually nothing and then started clearing items from the dining tables while people were still eating cake. This made people feel pressured to leave early, so our reception basically ended right after dinner and cake. Brooklyn was the only one on site to do all of the clean up. Since we're decent people, my family and I weren't going to sit around watching a single pregnant woman clean our entire wedding up, so that service was a complete waste of money. For what we received, we paid WAY too much money. And on top of that, having a busser basically push people out the door before we even opened the dance floor means we wasted a ton of money on drinks and services that weren't used. I honestly feel like Maeghan owes us a full refund for the stress and "damages" caused. I hope Brooklyn can open her own business soon because she seems much more qualified and capable than her boss.

    Response from vendor•Jan 22, 2025
    Sarah, We spoke at length about this after your wedding and this is not a fair assessment at all of what occurred at your wedding. As far as services rendered before your wedding day, you booked a day of coordination package, which you were told (and is listed in your contract) begins at the 6 week mark, which did happen. It also states in your contract that we do NOT guarantee a day before rehearsal for any wedding, and this was also told to you at your timeline meeting because December is one of our busiest months. When you asked for a check in call, you were told when we would begin working, and I answered your questions about what that would entail, because you contacted me in August about a December wedding (5 months before). At that point we were working on October weddings. It’s not fair to our October brides to push them aside because you felt like yours should come first. You were also told we would have 2 meetings, one to go over your timeline and one to go over decor as our inventory is constantly changing and being updated, so we try to have the most updated version possible. Again, all of this was discussed with you. You were also the one who no showed on our design meeting (that you are claiming that I refused to discuss with you), and it had to be rescheduled because you forgot about it. As far as the day of, you hired ONE buffet runner to refill pizza and bus tables, which is what she did. You then tried to accuse her of STEALING after the fact and when I provided several witnesses who refuted this, you backtracked and started attacking my business. You were also offered a refund for the bussing service solely as a gesture, and never provided a way to send it. Your contract clearly stated the services you were being provided, and those services were provided. Brooklyn was asked if she wanted those duties and she agreed, and again, several people confirmed she did these tasks. Your attitude prior to the wedding was extremely rude, and entitled to time that you did not book or pay for. As is this review.
