Hi, I’m Megan — and I’m so glad you’re here.
My journey into wedding planning began in 2017, when I planned my first wedding and discovered a deep love for creating meaningful, beautifully organized celebrations. What started as one experience quickly grew into a passion, and I’ve since had the honor of planning and coordinating many weddings for incredible couples.
Before founding Gather DSM, I spent years in corporate roles centered around client experience. That background shaped how I serve my brides today—with clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and a steady presence you can truly rely on.
I believe wedding planning should feel exciting, supported, and joyful—not overwhelming. My approach is rooted in care, intention, and calm problem solving. From managing the logistics behind the scenes to ensuring your day flows effortlessly, my role is to carry the details so you can be fully present, soak in every moment, and celebrate the love that brought you here.
You deserve a planning experience that feels just as beautiful as your wedding day. 🤍
