Meagan Makes Magic Happen
We don't have adequate words to express our gratitude for Meagan’s impact and leadership planning our wedding, but reflecting back on the thousands of messages and calls we exchanged over nearly 18 months of planning work, we absolutely could not have pulled off our vision without her. Meagan is indispensable! We are so lucky to have found her serendipitously through friends shortly after our engagement. From our first consultation, we knew she could do anything she put her mind to - and our journey was not an easy one! In the midst of several curve balls, Meagan kept us on track, organized, sane, and reassured every step of the way. The thoughtful touches she added, always being several steps ahead, made our experience even more successful and special (delivering home-made biscuits and a bottle of bubbly on our wedding day!). In addition to our wedding, it was genuinely such a pleasure to get to know Meagan and her amazing team. We can’t recommend working with her enough, and know she will continue to make big things happen! Thank you endlessly, Meagan! It was the best weekend of our lives. Love, The Hadleys
Response from vendor•Aug 15, 2025Not me tearing up reading this… 🥹 Thank you both for trusting me and letting me be part of such an incredible weekend. ❤️She's simply the best
We hired Meagan as a partial planner for our July 2025 wedding in Carlsbad, CA, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Being from Northern California, planning from afar posed some challenges, but Meagan made the entire process feel manageable. She is incredibly attentive and thorough—carefully reviewing contracts, working within budget, and going above and beyond to bring your vision to life. Her communication skills, professionalism, organization, and unmatched attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. We were both a bit naive going into wedding planning (for example, we booked our venue before ever seeing it / hiring Meagan). However, every time we felt overwhelmed, we'd tell each other, "Meagan's got us." And she did! With a sizable guest count of about 170, we expected some logistical challenges, but our rehearsal and wedding day ran seamlessly thanks to her well-crafted schedule. She ensured we had time to enjoy cocktail hour, eat our meals, and dance the night away—things we had worried might be lost in the busyness of the day. Wedding planning can be daunting and time-consuming, but Meagan’s expertise turned it into an enjoyable experience. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a dedicated and passionate planner. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we owe it all to her!
Response from vendor•Aug 12, 2025Awww, thank you, Linh! I’m so glad I could help make planning from afar feel easier. I truly appreciate your trust and loved being part of yours and Kurt’s day!Officiant

Response from vendor•Dec 10, 2024Thank you, Jeff! You were great yourself :)Hire Meagan Hilss Events!!
Working with Meagan Hilss Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! We hired her for partial planning, and our only regret is not hiring her sooner for the full wedding planning package! Meagan’s attention to detail, creative vision, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy. From the very first phone consultation, I knew I wanted to hire her. Meagan took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the table arrangements to the seamless timeline. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could focus on enjoying our day. Meagan’s network of vendors is unmatched, and her recommendations were spot-on. She has an incredible eye for design and a knack for making even the smallest moments feel magical. What really sets Meagan apart is her personal touch and dedication to her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly as we dreamed—and more. When I ran into a few hiccups with printing our table numbers, Meagan came to the rescue on the day of. She not only printed and cut them for us but also added extra decor items and candles to bring our vision to life, all without charging us extra for renting her supplies. We truly felt like she cared about us and our budget! We couldn’t be happier, and we owe it all to Meagan and her husband, Mike! Thank you for giving us a day we will cherish forever! **P.S. Peep Meagan in the background with her thumbs up and a big smile! I wish our guests got more photos of her!
Response from vendor•Jan 5, 2025Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It means the world to me that you had such a positive experience. I’m truly honored to have been part of your wedding journey and to help bring your vision to life. Hearing that your day was exactly as you dreamed (and more!) is why I love what I do. Thank you for trusting me and for the kind words about my vendors and my husband, Mike—he’ll love the shoutout!
