When my husband and I got engaged I knew early on I would be overwhelmed! lol. I had spoked with a few wedding planners and the others were outrageously overpriced. But Meredith was totally affordable and she offers the same amount of help. Merediths' personality is so genuine and kind and we could not have asked for a better person to help us on this journey. She communicates well, and has the experience and knowledge. Our wedding day was beautiful due to Meredith! We would 100000% hire her again in a heartbeat if we had to! Yes- this is your sign to hire her!!! Thank you Meredith! Love, Alex & Brian Miller!

Lauren was great! We would recommend to anyone. She made the chaos associated with planning a wedding very manageable. She was great to make our day run smoothly despite her catching food poisoning the night before our event.

We had Lauren help us with our wedding and we couldn't recommend her more, she was the BEST and so fun to work with!!
Her expertise and recommendations throughout the entire planning process were invaluable; I was so appreciative of her honest POV and simplifying/explaining details to me when online researching, opinions, and vendors can be so overwhelming - she made everything so simple! On the day of the wedding, she ensured everything ran smoothly with all the vendors, setup/teardown, details, etc. and made us feel incredibly special with her constant check-ins; she was everywhere at once! She was always down to go the extra mile (i.e. calling the in-laws after my husband cracked a tooth on the dance floor at the end of the night) - We truly couldn't have done it without her!!

Lauren helped us with our son's wedding. This was challenging as the bride, groom and bride's parents all lived out of state, while only the groom's parents lived near the wedding and reception venue. In addition, our couple was engaged in February and married in September the same year, with a large wedding. This was a large undertaking!
Lauren helped to keep us all on track, helped with communication with the various vendors, and kept all things well documented and organized.
She was patient, kind, knowledgeable and had so much experience. Nothing rattled her!
We were so grateful for her help in making this event so amazing for us and for our children. She was a terrific asset to our wedding team.
We highly recommend Lauren to help support your bride and her family!

We hired Lauren for full-service wedding planning back in late February 2023, and had our wedding the end of September of 2023. I manage large programs and events for a Fortune 5 company so always knew that no matter what I would still be heavily involved in the planning and likely end up doing a lot myself. With that as a caveat – I did feel like I did quite a bit of planning and execution on my own (with my fiancé at the time), but still felt like I needed to hire a full service wedding planner. What impressed us most about Lauren was her ability to always stay positive, kind, empathetic, and encouraging. The wedding planning industry is so stressful and I can only imagine emotions are heightened when you’re dealing with brides and parents that have no chill. Lauren always remained calm and steadfast through every situation. The last couple of months leading up to our wedding was a bit of a rollercoaster with our venue – long story short, we went through 3 wedding venue coordinators, 3 chefs, and 2 front of house managers and were given the run around on a few major things. Lauren stepped up and helped us navigate these uncomfortable, sticky situations and conversations and was an amazing sounding board and advocate for us. She spent so much time with us on video calls, phone calls, and communicating via email, and was a huge rockstar throughout our entire wedding weekend (Friday + Saturday). I can’t say enough about how amazing and wonderful she was onsite helping coordinate our rehearsal, welcome reception, and entire day / night of our wedding. Other comments – we got married in rural Wisconsin and had challenges finding local vendors. Candidly, we had hoped our wedding planner would be able to really help us out in this area but Lauren did not know the area either and it was challenging for her as well to find / locate local vendors for us. That said, she did help us find our DJ / master of ceremonies and videographer – both were FANTASTIC and we are so happy we hired them – likely would not have found either on our own (especially the DJ / emcee). She also was extremely generous and let us borrow a number of her personal items at no cost for our wedding, met with my mom Friday night to discuss all the setup and prep for the day of wedding which put my mom at ease so she could enjoy the festivities (my mom made all of our florals / décor), and made sure all of our vendors were apprised of what was needed when. We adore Lauren!

Meredith was amazing! Our wedding day went so smoothly, our venue was set up even better than I imagined, and all of our things were packaged up for us at the end of the night. These are just a few among many things I was impressed with! Meredith was so easy to work with and made our whole experience much less stressful. I highly recommend Bride Support!

We could not thank Lauren enough for the help, guidance and overall amazing support she provided us for our wedding. She handled all the vendor questions, set up, transfer from church to reception and so much more! Best of all she was calm and organized all day with the timeline, family and guests etc, from set up to tear down. We could fully enjoy our day without vendors pulling us or our family members aside. The Tear Down package was a game changer. When the night ended she had everything pack up so neatly that all that was left was to put it in the vehicles. We would highly recommend choosing Bride Support to anyone looking for a Wedding Coordinator.

Meredith was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was such an angel to work with from the very beginning, she guided us through everything, from finding a gorgeous venue to booking a great photographer and finally, making our special day come together so beautifully. She was always ready to meet and talk things through, she had great ideas and advice and just such a sweet person to have by our side as we navigated the stressful year before the wedding. She worked around our budget while also making sure the wedding had all the elements that were special to us. Whenever we faced a difficult problem with the planning we just knew "Meredith would take care of it". She truly cares about her clients, she goes the extra mile and we cannot recommend her enough !

Meredith from Bride Support was our day coordinator for our wedding and we can't say enough great things about her!!! Meredith was so easy to work with. Compared to others, Bride Support is very affordable. I'm not sure what we would have done without Meredith. She was a tremendous help, professional, went above and beyond and kept our wedding running smoothly and set up everything how we imagined it would look, but even better. If you are on the fence about hiring Bride Support, do it... you won't regret it!

Above & Beyond. Lauren from Bride Support was our Day of Planner for our small wedding, 3 short weeks from the time of hiring them and her professionalism & expertise were nothing short of spectacular.
I'd worked in weddings for about 8-10 years, so I had a grasp of the planning process, but could not have tied together the details in the seamless way that she did. With the wedding being small, I could have easily relied on friends and family to assist in the day of details, but I really wanted everyone attending the wedding to enjoy themselves and could not have done that without her.
Beyond that, in planning the last-minute details, she made the process easy, took what she could off of my plate, and ensured the entire experience was as painless and simple as possible.
For anyone on the fence in deciding whether or not to hire them, I highly recommend working with Bride Support for your special day. Your day wouldn't be as special without a team like theirs by your side every step of the way!

Meredith was delightful to work with as our day of coordinator. We were a well coordinated group going in , but having Meredith join in to oversee all of the details took the burden off of us, and made the day/evening flow so easily.My goal was for the bride and groom to enjoy their day without worrying about any missteps, and with Meredith to attend to any last minute details, they were able to do so!Meredith takes the reigns professionally, calmly, thorougly and expertly looking after every detail. Her love for her job and working with her clients is apparent. We recommend her highly!

Meredith was fantastic to work with as our day-of coordinator and our day would not have gone as smoothly without her. As organized as I may be, it was so worth having someone else be a point person on the day-of and to make sure we had the details confirmed. Meredith kept us on track throughout the planning process and asked great questions about our plans and intentions. We did some things untraditionally and Meredith was very supportive of any idea and changes to the plan (even last minute). Thank you! She also had great vendor recommendations even though we had already hired most of ours. We went with her band suggestion and were not disappointed at all. I wish we could work together again and hope I’ll be able to recommend Bride Support to family and friends. My only regret is not hiring her sooner in the process.

Meredith is an absolute DREAM! Some unforeseen circumstances landed us in her figurative lap and she didn’t miss a beat to pick things up and run with them. I am beyond grateful for her organization, abundant willingness to step in, and overall calm, sweet demeanor that went SO far to make our day even better than we could have planned. Do not hesitate to have Meredith join your wedding team — you will NOT regret it. She comes prepared for everything, including everything we didn’t think of!

The minute I hired Meredith, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. Most brides, including me, are planning a large event for the first time and it is invaluable to have someone with tons of wedding experience on your team! Meredith was fun to work with, knowledgeable, and always available to answer questions during the planning process. She helped craft my day-of timeline and communications to those involved, and jumped in to support ceremony logistics as needed during our church's wedding coordinator transition. She also came to our final reception venue meeting, helped us work through issues, and gave us confidence that everything would go well. On the day, everything went smoothly and I was able to focus my time and energy on enjoying our day!

Lauren was the most amazing addition to our wedding team. She was our day of coordinator but went above and beyond on what was expected. On the day of the wedding I did not have to think twice about anything because she had already either talked to who needed to be talked to or took care of it herself. She made the process so easy and enjoyable. Not to mention Lauren is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and so easy to work with. My husband and I recommend her 100 times over! Simply the best!

Meredith was the best planner I could have ever asked for!
Though-out the entire planing process, she kept me grounded. She always excepted my feedback and provided multiple options for each vender category that suited my budget. I had an outdoor wedding on privet property, and together we were able to turn it into a venue.
On the day of the wedding it rained! RAINED! Meredith re-arranged cocktail hour and accommodated, wet, guests and venders. Ultimately she turned what could have been a disaster into an amazing story.
She makes me want to plan another wedding just so I can continue to work with her, you will not regret hiring this amazing woman!

Lauren provided day of coordination services for my wedding on 9/24/2022. She was very communicative throughout the process. She checked in periodically during the wedding planning process and was very responsive as we got closer to the big day. Lauren/Bride Support's services allowed me, my husband, and our families to truly enjoy our wedding day and be present while she handled the nitty gritty details. She played a huge role in making our wedding day even better than we could have imagined. I can't recommend Lauren/Bride Support enough, their day-of coordination services were worth the cost and then some. I will forever appreciate everything they did for us.

Meredith was absolutely amazing to work with! We appreciate all the time, attention to detail, and dedication to our vision she brought to our wedding planning. I am an extremely organized person and enjoyed the wedding planning process (I planned most of the wedding details personally), but we hired Bride Support for “month-of” coordination to help with all the last-minute details (of which there are more than you’d think!). She had great resources for us to use, was extremely thorough in getting all our details just right, and was always there for us whenever we had questions or needed advice. Not only in leading up to the event, but on the day of the wedding, we could breathe a little easier knowing she was there to get things done. We truly sat back and enjoyed our day and didn’t have to worry about a single thing as Meredith was on top of everything from start to finish. Our wedding day felt virtually stress-free - we and our families were grateful for her assistance. We highly recommend hiring Bride Support!

We cannot thank Meredith enough for helping us execute our vision perfectly for our wedding day! We used Meredith as a day of coordinator, but her advice and ideas leading up to the big day went above and beyond that role. We wanted to throw a bit of an unconventional party with a more casual ceremony, and she never once judged our crazy ideas. In fact, she embraced and enhanced them based on what she has seen work well in the past! She helped us make the big day perfectly "us". She was a joy to work with and we would not have pulled it off without her. Everything went amazing and we were able to enjoy the day stress-free.
Hire Meredith! You'll feel like you have a BFF supporting you on your wedding day!

Meredith is an excellent planner- asks the right questions, gives helpful vendor and ceremony recommendations, all while having a cheerful and easy to work with demeanor.

We were planning a wedding that had a mix of DIY and vendors, we needed help pulling everything together and getting organized the month and day-of. Meredith's demeanor and industry experience gave us so much confidence in her abilities and she executed our vision flawlessly. I was fully prepared to be running around like crazy on my wedding day and I can honestly say I felt zero stress, plus we received so many compliments on the decor and flow of the event and all of that wouldn't have been possible without her efforts. Thank you Meredith!

Mother of the bride here ... and thanks to Meredith, I enjoyed one of the most important days of my family's life with zero stress and all joy! Leading up to the day, she worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was handled smoothly, thought of things we wouldn't have, and honored my daughter and son in law in creating a day that was exactly, perfectly, them ... because Meredith! She managed any little hiccups with confidence and grace, and we knew we didn't have to worry about a thing ... because Meredith! On the day of the wedding, things were handled, my daughter and son in law were so relaxed and joyful, thus so were all the family and friends in attendance ... because Meredith. My friends asked me for months and weeks leading up to the wedding - "aren't you stressed out?" "are you freaking out?" and I could consistently say, not at all ... because Meredith! Cannot say enough good things about this amazing woman - I have incredibly high standards, and she blew them away. Look no further - because Meredith! :)

From the very beginning, Meredith was fantastic to work with. She was responsive, suggested wedding details that never crossed my mind, and carried out every aspect of my special day flawlessly.
Another aspect I really liked is that Meredith was able to tack on a few a la carte services once I realized the coordination I had taken on was too much :) That was such a major help and relief!
10/10 would recommend Bride Support to help you plan your big day.

I'm so happy I ended up hiring a day of coordinator. A couple months before my wedding I was very stressed out about how I was suppose to manage the flow of the day all while getting ready, being in photos, socializing, etc. I was on a bit of a budget and didn't think that a day-of coordinator could happen for me, but Lauren and Meredith were able to accommodate my budget. My husband and I, the bridal party, and our families were actually able to enjoy our wedding and did not have to run around stressed out like we would have been otherwise. My friend that got married a couple days after I did was so surprised that Lauren was able to have everything run so smoothly and absolutely nothing got overlooked (which was very different for my friend's wedding). Although I don't plan to get married again, I would absolutely not hesitate to hire them again in the future.

Meredith is nothing short of AMAZING!!!
I am extremely OCD and Type A, so I was looking for a planner who I would work well with. Meredith fit the bill. She is patient and organized. We were originally going to have a big wedding in August 2020, but that didn't happen due to Covid. We had an intimate ceremony in 2020 and a big vow renewal in 2021. Meredith helped to make everything go smoothly for the vow renewal. She put together a timeline and worked with all of our vendors to make the day perfect. She kept in close contact and allowed me to not be stressed the day of the renewal. She set up and tore down our decorations and returned rentals the next day.
I would 1,000% recommend her to ANYONE!!

Hiring Meredith was the best decision I made for my September 2018 wedding. We connected just a month before my wedding when I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the planning process. As soon as we spoke, she immediately put me at ease. She jumped in right away and was extremely organized. She met me at the venue to do a final walkthrough, helped our rowdy crew through rehearsal & was an absolute rockstar on the day of. My family and bridal party just loved her and so did I! Although working with Meredith was one of the last decisions I made while planning, it should have been the FIRST! Brides do your self a favor and contact her right now :)

My wife and I couldn't have pulled off the wedding of our dreams if it wasn't for Meredith! Half way through the process, we lost our original venue idea and decided to do a complete 180 and host our wedding on an island. When we informed Meredith, she didn't blink an eye and was super supportive and excited for the idea. She was super helpful in building out a timeline for the day, helping with the rehearsal and being our go-to person throughout the day of the wedding. She also always asked the right questions leading up to our wedding date which made us think about what we were potentially missing. Her experience certainly paid dividends! I would highly recommend using Meredith as your day-of coordination support!

We were one of Meredith's full service couples - she was with us every step of the planning process. I cannot tell you how grateful we were for her advice, connections and communication throughout the entire process! Meredith knows the industry like the back of her hand (and everyone knows her, which is the sign you want to be looking for!!) and found us the right people for the right prices. Meredith was absolutely invaluable in helping us every single step of the way. She is incredibly responsive and makes you feel at ease, which is not very common in this industry! We always felt that Meredith was a true partner in this process, we could ask her for help with anything that we needed, and she would either give us the answers or help us in getting whatever we needed to done! My now-husband and I have told all of our friends and family how absolutely invaluable she is. We felt minimal stress during this process...she simply takes care of everything and absorbs any last minute challenges that vendors throw at you, so you don't have to worry about it!
On our wedding day, when a few things went slightly off-kilter, we simply had to look at Meredith and she knew exactly what to do! It was incredible. The strap on my dress broke during the reception, and she was there with my mom and my bridesmaids in the bathroom, helping me fix it! At the reception, we had an important item that was left at our house that we needed for the reception. Meredith didn't miss a beat and offered to stop by our house during the reception to pick it up for us so our family didn't miss any moment of the day - I don't know anyone else in the world who would do that. She also picked up the items from our house that needed to be returned to the vendors while we were on our honeymoon so we didn't have to worry about it!
Pick her. You will do yourself a huge favor and have so much more free time on the weekends than if you tried to tackle this all on your own. She's so easygoing, organized and fun, you'll be sad that you won't be working with her once the wedding is over! Meredith is simply the best. I found her on The Knot, and it was the best decision my husband and i made besides marrying each other!

Meredith was the best wedding-related decision I made, other than choosing my husband, haha. Seriously, if we could give Meredith 100 stars, we would. She is the reason our wedding went off without a hitch. We chose her Premium Coordination package, which meant she not only served as our day-of coordinator, but also did vendor research ahead of time and connected us to great providers, such as our fabulous florist, who we would not have found on our own. Also of importance: she served as a sounding board for all our questions and ideas leading up to the big day. Meredith is professional, detail-oriented, and a lot of fun. We can't recommend her enough!

5 Stars for sure!!! Meredith is AMAZING! The main thing I talked about after our wedding was how hiring Meredith was the best money we spent that day. I only hired her as a day of coordinator but she was willing to give me advice/tips/referrals on anything I needed up to the day. Seriously, if you are on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, do it...and hire Bride Support. You won't regret it.

Attention all Brides: Do yourself a favor and hire Bride Support!
I am so thankful to have had Meredith in my corner throughout my wedding planning process. When my husband and I started planning our wedding and we realized quickly how easy it could be to go over budget and become overwhelmed. I was working as a nurse, while continuing my education. She was so invaluable throughout our year long engagement! The obvious help of planning everything was great, but there were so many other things that I didn't even consider initially. I knew next to nothing about important things to keep in mind regarding all the contracts we had to sign, and Meredith knew exactly what to point out to us. I found out quickly that I needed someone to keep me on track with my planning. The months went by so fast and I was thankful to have someone remind me when I should be booking which vendors. Rather than spending hours researching vendors, I was able to stay focused on school and work. The final month leading up to our wedding was packed full of finalizing everything and Meredith had all of the details figured out! She did an excellent job collaborating the vision we had for our wedding with her expertise. On the day of my wedding, she was an asset to not only me but our families and wedding party too. We had such a large wedding with two locations and so many details to coordinate. My husband and I were able to to take in every moment without a care in the world on our wedding day; Thanks to Bride Support.

Meredith was recommended by another mother of the bride & I told this friend, "I'm indebted to her". Meredith was well worth the money we paid. We had her for day of ceremony but met with her three times before the wedding. One of those times was the rehearsal & we were out of the venue in less than an hour. She was very thorough, organized & made some great suggestions. The big day was amazing & Meredith was responsible for tending to many of the little details. She told me many times during the day to not worry, it was all taken care of. She took care of everything. As I said, she was amazing & well worth the money! My husband, father of the bride, enjoyed working with her & thought she was very professional.

Meredith is absolutely amazing! You will not regret working with her. I hired Meredith as my day of coordinator and so happy I did. She was so helpful throughout the planning process- recommending vendors, suggestioning certain things I hadn't thought of, etc. She made a very detailed timeline and ensured nothing was missed. She was a lifesaver on the wedding day helping set-up and tear down. My venue was one that only provided the space, so there was a ton we had to bring in ourselves. She was so helpful!

Meredith was awesome to work with! I hired her for day of coordination but she really did so much more than that from doing a venue walk through to putting together a timeline and rehearsal worksheet as well as picking up our day of items before hand and breaking everything down at the end of the night and being a great resource for all of my questions. She was the best decision I made during my wedding planning! knowing she was there to handle everything took all of the stress off of me and made for such a great day.

I am fairly type a and initially we thought we wouldn't need a day of coordinator. About 6 months out from the wedding, I realized that I just didn't want to think about anything but getting married on the day of, and I wanted both of our families to be able to relax and enjoy the day and be as present as possible. I contacted about 10 DoCs and interviewed 2- meredith was our perfect fit! She is super friendly, detail oriented, has a ton of experience, and is very generous with her time leading up to the wedding even though she was only hired for the day of services. I felt instantly better after meeting with her, and she also clicked with my fiancé - which we've found to be a rarity in the twin cities bridal world (many vendors acted like he wasn't there even though he was actively a part of the planning process). Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, Meredith was very responsive and answered all of my questions, contacted/coordinated with all of the vendors, and went above and beyond during our wedding week to make sure everything came together. I was amazed at how relaxed and joyful I felt at the wedding because I trusted Meredith %150 to set up all the decor and make sure everyone was exactly where they needed to be. Both my husband and I felt like her very affordable services was the best money we spent on the wedding. I only wish I had contacted her earlier in the process so she could have reviewed contracts and answered my earlier questions. Meredith is the best AND the most affordable!

Initially, I thought I might be able to swing planning/executing our wedding on my own. Nope. I'm so glad I got Meredith to help with Day-Of Coordination for our wedding. She did much more than just working the wedding day itself. From the initial consultation to planning the timeline of the ceremony/reception to attending our rehearsal, Meredith was there. She's able to roll with the punches and make stuff happen--like when I emailed her at midnight the night before the wedding and asked her to "do something" with a bunch of childhood photos I'd picked out but forgot to plan a display for. Or when she offered to bring in cake stands to show off the cookies we had for dessert.
It was such a relief knowing my family and I could relax during the ceremony and reception. She's got a lot of experience, and it really shows. She's also easy to talk to and not-judgmental--which is actually kind of hard to find when it comes to wedding stuff.
Bottom line: hire her, she's worth it.

Meredith and Bride Support are the reason our wedding was as wonderful as it was. She's knowledgeable, level-headed, kind, and has a good sense of humor. I was a little freaked out by the wedding planning process, and Meredith made me feel at ease and made the process fun. Her organization system keeps you on task and makes sure things are done in the right timeline. Her vendor recommendations are amazing, she's great at finding you the perfect person for your personality and budget. She was also amazing at dealing with any issues that came up. I felt like we had a partner and an advocate throughout the entire process. She's very reachable by phone or email, which was much appreciated. She worked tirelessly throughout our wedding weekend, and was great corralling our family and getting people where they needed to be. I could relax and enjoy the entire day. She's a very professional presence, but still a lot of fun. I cannot recommend her enough. She'll make the process feel easy, and most importantly, enjoyable! Our friends and family are still raving about our wedding months later, and it's mostly due to Meredith's work. We're so thankful, and hope you'd consider working with her, too!

Meredith was amazing! I was so grateful a friend recommended her. Not just on the day of but many months leading up to the day as well. Planning a wedding is stressful and when you have someone you can get suggestions, feedback, opinions, etc from that is in the industry it's priceless. I did a lot of searching before meeting with Meredith because it is another expense but I can't express enough about how important it was to have her and on top of it her prices were better than anyone I had seen. The day of I couldn't have been more pleased with her, she got sh*t done!! She's a hard working women who truly cares about your special day. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Meredith!!!!

I met Meredith through a relative's wedding and she did an absolute amazing job for both weddings. She was a great resource to ask questions throughout the planning and she asked me so many questions to make sure my day went perfect. She helped with all the tiny details and was such a great help. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

I would like to recognize Meredith Meyer for the incredible support she provided in preparation for and during our wedding on August 15th. Meredith was so personable, patient, organized, and positive. She didn't even blink an eye at the fact that we were living across the country from where the wedding took place. Instead, she kept us on track throughout the planning phase by sending us vendors who fit our vision for the wedding and achievable deadlines. Meredith allowed us to
move at our own pace but also knew when to nudge us a bit. When we were in town she set up meetings with the vendors for us and even attended some of these meetings. She also provided lists of quedstions to ask, which helped tremendously. On the actual day she created a detailed schedule to keep everyone on track, helped with setting up and directing vendors, and was there the whole time to make sure that it went off without a hitch. I was able to relax and completely enjoy the day knowing that she was taking care of the details. As I reflect on the event I can say that I found almost the entire planning experience to be
enjoyable, which I think says A LOT. Meredith was FABULOUS!We truly, truly could not have done it without her and
feel that our best wedding-planning decision was hiring Meredith to help.

Initially I did not want a planner - thinking I could do it on my own - but let me tell you, it is SO WORTH IT. And I couldn't have had a better planner than Meredith, and day-of coordinator Jackie, and assistant Lauren. Working full-time as a teacher didn't leave me much free time to do planning, so Meredith was of great help in her vendor recommendations and helping my wedding visions come to life. She was so organized and on top of things, which helped me and kept me on track. Jackie did a great job running the rehearsal under somewhat stressful circumstances. On wedding day, Jackie and Lauren were superwomen and kept things running smoothly and taking care of EVERYTHING. As I said - best decision ever due to the fact that I was able to enjoy the day and not stress or worry, knowing Bride Support had it under control. Thank you!!!

We are so happy we went with Bride Support for helping plan our wedding and coordinate the entire process! From the very beginning, Meredith was so helpful. She let me know what needs to be booked, in what order, she would bring to the table vendors that she knows can be trusted and are of great value. She really listened to my needs and made sure that the venue and each vendor was aware of our vision.
The day of coordination was flawless. She made sure that all the vendors were at our venue on time and set up. I didn't have to worry about thing and that made the day so much more enjoyable. I can't imagine all of the work that was taken care of behind the scenes! When the entire day was over with, Bride Support took care of clean up and all of our rental items and returned the rental items to the vendor the next day!! I had some interesting requests too (example, I wanted to keep five of our center pieces and Bride Support set those aside for me).
During the process, Bride Support made sure I knew what money I had paid, what money we owed, when we owed, and what to expect to pay in tips for vendors.
We also had questions that didn't necessarily pertain to planning (honeymoon, etc) and they were able to help and made great recommendations.
I would HIGHLY recommend Bride Support.

Meredith and her day-of coordinator Jackie did an AMAZING job for a picky bride like myself who wanted everything perfectly planned but didn't have the time for it. She seriously thinks about every detail, gives you the down-low on everything and anything, and I had people in my bridal party say how wonderful it must have been to have her help from start to finish- and she was! Thanks to her we had an amazing time at our wedding and actually got to enjoy every minute of it :)

I honestly can’t recommend Meredith enough. She was such an enormous help before the wedding and her day-of-coordination allowed me to actually enjoy my wedding day. I used her premium coordination services, which was a middle ground between full coordination and day-of-coordination.
I signed a contract with Meredith about 1 year and half before the wedding because I knew that I needed someone to keep me on track so that I could get as much done as early as possible for the wedding. I was technically an out-of-town bride, but my family lives in MN. I was so grateful for Meredith who was always willing to meet up with me when I was in town on weekends. Some of the biggest things she helped me out with was finding vendors with a budget in mind, storing all the decorations and odds and ends that I made or acquired before the wedding, installing linens and rentals, completely taking care of everything set up related, following up with vendors, and just being this positive force to rely on when wedding planning gets so crazy and no one else seems to understand. She’s funny, upbeat, and does a wonderful job of politely keeping you on track. She’s great with handling particularly annoying or difficult vendors. She comes with oodles of suggestions for vendors, ideas for decorations, and was the best resource I had for any question that came up while I was planning my wedding. She took care of tear down at my wedding and was even willing to meet up the next day to return decorations and stuff that I wanted to keep.
Meredith is probably the only reason I stayed sane throughout the wedding planning process. And in the 2-3 days before the wedding, when I was the most stressed, I knew that Meredith would be able to take care of all the little details, and if anything went wrong that she would handle it for me. She’s great at her job and was such a pleasure to work with.

The best thing I did in planning my wedding was hiring Meredith early in the process for the full planning package. She was invaluable in SO many capacities, but right out of the gate, she helped us create an overall budget, and had numerous vetted vendor choices for us at our budget level. Not only was that a huge time savings for us, but we saved more than Meredith's fee with the photographer alone. She not only helped keep us on budget, but also on schedule-guiding us along with what we needed to do when. My mom and I also really appreciated having a go-to person with the millions of questions that invariably come up, and Meredith was alway VERY quick to respond, so we weren't left sitting and wondering. She also has great ideas and suggestions for special touches and planning tips and tricks that were great. You may be thinking to yourself, do I really want to spend the money on a wedding planner, and the answer if you're considering Bride Support is YES! In theory, it seems like an extravagance, and that you can do it yourself, but the piece of mind, access to a concise list of awesome vendors within your budget, and time savings are priceless. Meredith is a great value compared to other planners I considered. Preserve your sanity, and do yourself a favor-work with Bride Support. My mom is convinced our wedding could not have happened without Meredith! It was perfect.

Hiring a Day of Coordinator was something I did fairly early in my wedding planning process, almost a year before the actual date. I knew that on the day of the wedding I didn't want me or any family members running around having to stress about schedules, set-up and details. Additionally, my venue didn't provide significant set-up support. After a lot of online research (I was an out-of-town bride) I set up a phone call with Meredith. Her easy going nature and professionalism on the phone seemed to be a good fit with my personality and I made the decision to hire her then. Since that moment Meredith was a great source of support and comfort, even as I planned the majority of the day myself she was always there for any question, no matter how small or seemingly mundane. As we approached the wedding she was very organized, checking in consistently and providing constant Wedding Day schedule updates. She remained patient as I made changes and sent frequent stream of conscious emails :). We met to do a venue walk-through about a month before the wedding which helped me envision all the details coming to life. On the day of the wedding Meredith stopped by the hotel suite where we were getting ready to check-in and then headed to the venue to set up. Everything was executed just as I envisioned and as discussed. Throughout the actual wedding Meredith served as a quiet force keeping things organized, calm and moving forward. Hiring a Day of Coordinator and specifically Meredith was an invaluable decision to me enjoying my Wedding Day and I would absolutely recommend her.

We couldn't have done it without Meredith at Bride Support!! I am the Mother of the Brides (double wedding) and I speak for my daughters as well as myself! We all loved Meredith the moment we met her! We knew a very important factor in hiring a wedding planner was to find someone you could work with. Meredith, without question, was a hit and she never disappointed!! She has a great personality, was fun, and easy to work with and that's just the beginning! She was so well organized, a great communicator, always easily accessible, had great recommendations and guidance! She thought, and reminded us, of things we would never have thought of! She had a CAN DO attitude, was always right there when we needed her (and we're not sure how she did that because there was a lot of ground to cover!) She worked EXTREMELY hard and was always friendly and upbeat!! She also advocated for us when family members would want to change something or had "suggestions." I can honestly say we couldn't have pulled off the wedding and reception without her help!! Our friends and family were impressed with her as well! It takes a special person and disposition to do this job and she's got it! I highly respect her and her abilities! I can, without hesitation, recommend Meredith! She will not disappoint!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Meredith. She is worth every penny! We would have paid double. My now husband, and I were going back and forth about hiring a wedding planner for a couple of weeks. We found Meredith on The Knot, and decided to make an appointment. As soon as we sat down with Meredith and starting talking we knew we had to hire her. She is extremely down to earth, and really takes the time to get to know you, and understand your wedding concept. The first thing we noticed was how organized and thorough she is! She is very experienced and you can tell.
Meredith has multiple wedding packages to choose from. We chose the premium coordination package. She helped us find all of our vendors for our wedding, and came to all the initial appointments. Meredith is very conscientious of your price point, and won't show you vendors that you can't afford. She kept us organized and busy with to-do-list, but not in an overwhelming way. She always checks in making sure you are on task, and gives you advice along the way.
Leading up to the wedding is when the initial time crunch hits, and it can become a little stressful at times. Because of Meredith, we were extremely organized and had basically everything under control. I cannot tell you how nice it was to not have to run around in a panic the final week of the wedding!
That brings us to the big day! Meredith basically takes full control of your wedding guiding vendors, family and your wedding party. She literally knows your wedding inside and out, and words cannot explain the relief it gave us throughout our big day. She takes all of the stress off of your shoulders, and in some cases family’s shoulders. If there was an issue, Meredith was always ready to take charge.
We could honestly write 2 more full pages on how wonderful our experience was with Meredith, and we both HIGHLY recommend her as your wedding coordinator!! You will not be disappointed!

I am so happy I used a wedding planner and was very, very pleased with Meredith. She worked well with me and with the all the other vendors. She was instrumental in keeping both my daughter (the bride) and me on task plus helped us when disagreements came up. She also saved us money with several of the vendors and helped us find vendors that ended up being fantastic. She has 3 levels of service and we went with the middle level. I can't say enough good things about her. She also was there at rehearsal dinner which ran smoothly because she had all the details worked out. Well worth the cost especially on wedding day. I actually enjoyed the day because she was so organized and took over with placing our decorations all around the venue, put chair covers on, checked with all the vendors and took care of so many other details too numerous to mention. Thank you Meredith. I will have fantastic memories because of you taking care of all the details, so I could enjoy the day.

My husband and I hired Meredith (owner of Bride Support) for her "day of coordinator" services for our wedding. I didn't know there was such a thing as a day of coordinator - I thought you either had a full on wedding planner or not - but our venue required a day of coordinator, so we chose Meredith. I am so glad they required this, as it was some of the best money we spent. Meredith was fantastic to work with - super nice and friendly, great communicator, and doesn't miss a thing. I didn't need a full on planner - I enjoy planning the details myself - but as our day of coordinator, Meredith provided me with guidelines and tools to be sure I didn't miss any important steps. She answered any questions I had promptly, and provided guidance and recommendations based on her past experience. On our wedding day, neither I nor any of my friends/family had to deal with coordinating vendor arrival times, setting up ceremony or reception decor, keeping us all on time, deal with any misc issues, etc. - Meredith did all of that, making our day significantly less stressful and more enjoyable. We even had a "shoe emergency" that day - the mother of our flower girls had a shoe break, and Meredith borrowed her a pair of heels she had in her car! A little extra added service :) We are so happy we hired Meredith and would recommend her to any other couples considering day of services.

Hiring Meredith to help us with our wedding planning was hands down the best decision we made throughout the whole process. Starting out, everything seems so overwhelming and I felt lost, but Meredith's knowledge and experience made everything manageable and easy. We only had to make the overall decisions (i.e which florist out of five she would pick for us knowing fit our budget/style), and she handled all the details such as timing, keeping us on track with our budget and payment, and probably a lot of other stuff that I didn't know about because she always has everything under control! The vendors she helped us choose were perfect, she is very well connected with vendors in the area and knew exactly who to contact for us.
I became truly appreciative of how valuable Meredith is when we found out a week before our wedding that the venue we had booked was flooded, and we needed to find a new one! I of course panicked, but Meredith assured us to stay calm and within 24 hours had found a new venue for us, one that was as good if not better than the original one.
The day of the wedding was amazing, Meredith was there to orchestrate everyone's comings and goings and to keep us on track with where we should be and when. The day went very smoothly.
Meredith is very intuitive, and I'm pretty sure after our very first meeting she had a very good idea of who we were and what type of wedding we wanted, and followed through. I can't say enough good things about her everything she did for us, she made a stressful and hectic time manageable and even enjoyable.

The first major wedding decision we made was to hire Meredith (Premium Coordination Package) and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made! We met with other potential wedding coordinators, but when we met with Meredith, we knew she was the coordinator for us. She was personable, friendly, and eager to learn what we wanted for our wedding day. We felt that she valued our opinions and our vision and could help us bring it to life. She very much exceeded our expectations! Meredith helped us with a countless number of tasks that felt overwhelming to us. She provided us with lists of vendors that were a good fit, attended many meetings and asked all of the right questions, and researched hundreds of random questions we asked. She was very responsive, always returning phone calls and emails promptly and was willing to meet whenever we needed to touch base. She very much reduced the amount of stress that wedding planning can bring and we were able to enjoy our wedding day fully. It was the most fun we have ever had! The day went seamlessly due to the great planning and attention to detail. Thank you Meredith for making our vision become a reality! We had so much fun along the way!

Meredith of Bride Support was hands down the best investment I made while planning my wedding. I could not have done it without her.
I went with the premium package which may seem like unnecessary expense to some but you get your investment back in regards to keeping your sanity as you can have he tpeace in mind that Meredith has it handled.
I was never more thankful for Meredith than the week leading up to my wedding as I came down with a horrible cold -as in laying in bed all day completely out of it. Because I trusted that Meredith had it all handled, I was able to focus more on making sure I got well instead of freaking out that I still needed to do X,Y,Z.
The morning of the wedding was also stress free for me as I knew that Meredith was working on getting the ceremony location and reception ready. It is a wonderful feeling that you have someone who is completely on the same page with you regarding decoration so you don't have to worry about having to explain to your vision to whoever is setting up that day and hoping they get it right.
Meredith puts together a very detailed hand-out to everyone in the bridal party so that everyone is on the same page and allows the day to run as smoothly as possible (barring stuff that always comes up).
Based on how smoothly the day seemed to run to guests along with the amazing décor that Meredith helped me come up with we are still getting compliments on how wonderful our wedding was from our guests.
In summary, as my review title says, save your sanity and hire Meredith - be it her premium package or her day-of package. I promise you will not regret it!
