    Meagan’s Amazing Wedding Planning Services

    Meagan is the BEST. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! From the moment we started with her she was incredibly involved, organized, and knowledgeable, making the entire planning process feel so smooth. Meagan has great taste and an eye for design, she helped me bring my Pinterest vision to life in an even better way than I could have ever imagined! We felt guided every step of the way, always taking the time to explain options and help us make the best decisions for our vision. What really stood out was her positive attitude throughout the entire process and she was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy with our choices. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she turned it into something we truly enjoyed. I’m forever grateful for everything she did. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who is not only professional and skilled but also a joy to work with.

    Best Wedding Planner

    Hiring Meagan was our best and favorite decision we made! From the first call to the day of, she made the whole wedding planning process an ease. I honestly don’t think we would have survived without her. Meagan is extremely organized, professional, thoughtful and her attention to detail is like no other. We had envisioned having two long tables on the lawn at Scripps Seaside Forum and wow did she execute our vision (our guests still talk about it). With 180 guests, everything felt incredibly seamless the day of, and we received countless compliments from guests and family members on how beautifully she executed our day. We truly were able to be present with one another and stay so calm the day of the wedding and it was all because of her. We are so grateful for her! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner please schedule your call with Meagan and I guarantee you will be happy and wanting to move forward with her. And if you are questioning doing partial or full wedding planning go with the full planning! -The Ashbaughs

    Hi you two :) This means so much to me. Truly, thank you. From our very first call, I remember how clearly you both described the kind of day you wanted to create, and getting to bring that to life with you was such a joy. Those long tables on the lawn at Scripps Seaside Forum will always stand out to me too. It was such a fun and meaningful setup, and seeing it all come together with your people around you was really special. I’m so happy you felt calm and present throughout the day. That’s always the goal, and you both made it easy by being so thoughtful, trusting, and intentional every step of the way. I’m really grateful I got to be a part of it all. Thank you again for such kind words and for trusting me with your wedding. – Meagan

    Dream Spring Wedding

    Meagan was such a dream to work with! We hired her for partial planning after picking our venue, and at the time, I had barely any clue what I wanted the day to look like (I literally started with just 'spring'!). Meagan patiently guided us through the entire process, turned our vague ideas into a stunning reality, and executed the day flawlessly. My family kept commenting how relaxed I was on our wedding day, and I know it was because I could trust Meagan to handle everything. We are so thankful to have found her!

    Thank you so much. It really means a lot. I still remember starting with “spring” and watching it all come together into something that felt so you. Knowing you felt relaxed and fully present on your wedding day is the best kind of feedback. I’m so grateful I got to be part of it 🤍

    My only regret was not having her for more than just day of planning. Very friendly and easy to work with.

    Simply the best!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better planner for our intimate civil ceremony celebration. Meagan made the entire process seamless and stress-free from start to finish. She coordinated everything, from the courthouse schedule to an intimate dinner and styled shoot afterwards. All of the details were *chef’s kiss* and made a special day even more memorable. We highly recommend her for all celebrations, whether small or large! We are extremely grateful to have had Meagan bring this day to life.

    I absolutely loved doing it! Such an intimate, special day that I'm honored to have been part of.
