Bride Support

wedding went so smooth because of her, I can’t think of one thing that went wrong. She even went and picked up our late night Domino’s as our venue was not in delivery distance for them. Above and beyond, hire her for a flawless day and no stress!!!

uld NEVER get married with out Bride Support- book them :)

time. Compared to other planners Meredith’s fee was very reasonable and that certainly was a plus. She was professional and well organized from the get go. As a type A person myself her quick responses to emails, thinking ahead and paying attention to the tiniest detail was very impressive. She also made the planning process largely stress-free and fun. Even though she never worked with our venue and was about 2 hours away from the area she was able to quickly find other vendors or services in the area as we requested. I particularly recall her enthusiasm in helping us find a baker who made a delicious key like pie cake/cupcakes. Our wedding was also a Sri Lankan and American fushion wedding which meant that she had to help us plan and execute traditions of both cultures/religions even though she was not familiar with SL culture. She was very enthusiastic and worked well with the novel aspects of planning including language/communication barriers when working with ethnic vendors. She responded to all our questions/suggestions through out the process with patience and great understanding and always supported our vision. On the day of our wedding there were a few loop holes to get through including not having cell phone reception due to remote location which I thought she handled very well. One particular reason for that was how prepared she was. Last but not least when I realized I needed straws to not ruin my lip make up and sent her a quick text to about that while she was on her way to the venue she just grabbed a few from her home and when it was too far for me to walk to get some appetizers on heels during a photo session she brought us a a couple plates full of food to enjoy on our own. This shows that she was always available and tried to make the day as stress free for us as possible. We can’t imagine getting through our wedding day without her. Highly recommend her affordable services to any bride and groom. Thanks Meredith!

s 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!

ng food poisoning the night before our event.

ing 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!!

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!

ompany 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!

se 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!

rch 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.

ing with vendors. If you are considering Meredith, this is your sign to do it!!!! Thank you Meredith for everything!!!!

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 !

upport 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!

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! -LesLeigh Watters

n 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!

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.

r 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!

ith 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!

o 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!

ons 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!

ng 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.

on the wedding day and was able to fully enjoy the day thanks to Meredith. I would 110% recommend her!

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!

e 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!

provided creative ideas about the guest favors and overall vision for the wedding. We also worked closely with her day of coordinator, Lauren, who worked diligently to make the big day a success! We would highly recommend working with Bride Support!

y 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!

irelessly 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! :)

ay 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.

ng 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.

ized. 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!!

ocess. 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 :)

te 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!

der was extremely reassuring--We didn't need to worry about a thing! Meredith demonstrated precise organization and industry knowledge that made her the right choice for us. In addition, her matter-of-fact approach combined with a calm demeanor conveyed her confidence in handling anything that might come her way. I highly recommend working with Bride Support!

ation 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!

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!

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.

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.

vices!

ade it more enjoyable. On wedding day she made sure everyone was on schedule and in the places that they needed to be. We had no issues on the wedding day and if we did she never made it seem like it. I highly recommend anyone looking for a wedding planner to use Meredith!!

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.

erience to share. I really appreciated her timely and thoughtful answers to all of my questions. I could not have had such a stress free wedding day without her! If you're trying to decide whether or not you need some wedding coordination, I would absolutely recommend meeting with Meredith...you will not be disappointed!

ss- 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!

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.

ut 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!
