Meghan is undoubtedly a talented and visionary event planner, with a keen eye for detail and creative execution. However, our experience working with her has been overshadowed by significant financial issues. We provided services for two of her events, delivering everything as promised, yet we have yet to receive payment for our work.
After multiple good-faith efforts to resolve the matter amicably—including numerous attempts to contact her for payment—our invoices remain unpaid. Unfortunately, after further investigation, we discovered that this appears to be a pattern, as several other vendors have reported similar experiences. While we take pride in our professionalism and always strive for positive working relationships, non-payment for services rendered is unacceptable. As a result, we have been left with no choice but to pursue legal action to recover what is owed. We share this review not only to highlight our experience but also to caution fellow vendors and collaborators to exercise due diligence when entering into business arrangements with Meghan and House of Catherine.
This review is so long overdue. Meghan & her team at House of Catherine were everything & anything I could have needed. From the initial phone call to the day after our wedding, I always felt like I was her number one priority (even though they had countless other amazing events to plan in that timespan). I truly felt like every time we had a design call, I was sitting around the table talking to my girlfriend. You know, the one who you know won’t lie to your face and doesn’t just tell you what you wanted to hear. She was direct & open from the beginning, directing me on where we should spend our budget. Creating a handful of “wow” moments and knowing where we could save a few $$ without people noticing. We hired her team for all things design (including our BEAUTIFUL invites) and planning. To begin, they took an empty canvas (a tent) and turned it into a masterpiece. From the multiple lounge sets, to the safari themed dance floor and escort table. It flowed beautifully and I continually still get compliments on how unique, classy and timeless it looked. As for the planning, as soon as I told vendors I was working with HOC, shit got DONE! Everyone in the industry respects her team so I never questioned where we were at in the planning process. I could get emotional thinking about the actually wedding weekend and how stress-free she made it. I was truly able to relax and celebrate with everyone the entire week leading up. For instance, some of the beautiful wine glasses we rented broke on their way down and she had to pivot morning of. She pulled me aside in the morning and had this way of reassuring me that it didn’t matter & that her team had a plan to make it even more beautiful, which they did. I wouldn’t have had such a beautiful, stress & drama free wedding weekend in Saint Michaels if it wasn’t for her. She deserves extra extra credit for taping my boobs for my after party dress while I was drunk at 11PM. I love her and her team immensely and can not thank them enough!!!
I have been a long time follower of House of Catherine on social media, and as soon as I got engaged, I know I HAD to have Meghan and team involved in our wedding design. Luckily, they had availability for our October 2022 wedding, and we booked the HOC team for our invitations and wedding design/branding. Because we chose a pretty rustic wedding venue (Normandy Farm in Blue Bell), we wanted to elevate the space and bring in design elements to add softness to the dark wood features and transform the basic ballroom into something totally unique and beautiful. I knew the HOC team had worked with our venue before so we were excited to see what they would come up with. I got SO many compliments on our invitation suite from friends and family, from the wax seal to the sprig of pampas grass to our personalized monogram. We loved our wedding signage, menus, and seating chart, which incorporated the elegant fall colors of terra cotta, ivory, and sage, and tied in with the floral design. The rentals that the team sourced really took the design over the top in the best possible way. When we did the room reveal of our reception space, we were completely FLOORED by how the ballroom had been transformed. We had an intimate lounge area with rugs, couches, pillows, and chairs. The table linens and place settings were luxurious, with gold rimmed wine goblets, gold flatware, and textured linen napkins. Pinspot lighting accentuated the floral centerpieces on each table. One of my favorite elements of the entire wedding was the fact that we had the house lights turned completely off and used lighting to create a glowy effect reminiscent of candlelight. Instead of highlighting the bare, white ceilings, the room was draped in dreamy sheer voile fabric. The lighting and draping made such a difference and gave the ballroom a warm, romantic glow. We were told our wedding was the first time the room had ever been draped like this on the overhead beams. Throughout the reception and even after the wedding, our guests were complimenting us on our amazing style, which we quickly corrected, giving all credit to the amazing House of Catherine design team for pulling off our STUNNING reception decor. I cannot gush about the design enough without mentioning that Tori and team had to deal with a very tight timeframe in setting up since there was a wedding prior to ours in the same space, and even in spite of that, the details were executed flawlessly! All I can say is WOW because everyone nailed it and we are so, so grateful. THANK YOU Meghan, Tori, Andrea and the HOC team for making our wedding a dream!
As a type-A human who struggles with trusting the handoff, and who decided to get married during a global pandemic in less than 10 months, I find it very hard to come up with the words to describe the level of gratitude & awe I have for Meghan & the HOC team. My husband & I booked an open venue b/c of the location & my excitement of being able to completely transform the venue into our custom space quickly overwhelmed me. It seemed completely impossible to put together a team of vendors & design a space to create the wedding of our dreams. Through word of mouth we came across HOC & immediately knew this was the team we wanted. Somehow, the wedding Gods were looking upon us & HOC was available our weekend. From the start, it was clear we were in great hands. Somehow, Meghan was able to weed through all of the crazy thoughts, likes, dislikes, must haves, & everything in between we discussed & brought us a vision board that surpassed our wildest expectations. What could have very well had been a stressful time, instead, was a super exciting time. The team's vision & ability to accommodate our wants & needs, while still being conscious of an ever changing budget, is a testament to their care, attention to detail, creativity, & passion to make every event perfect.
HOC & their team were unable to get access to our venue until the day of our wedding because of a wedding the evening before. Most people would not have been able to accomplish a fraction of the transformation they did in a mere few hours & yet by the time guests were arriving our space had been completely transformed. 6 months later & I still am speechless. I wish we had invited people to see the space before the wedding so they could truly appreciate everything Meghan & the HOC team did. Custom drapery & greenery were hung, intricate florals were arranged, an entire lounge area was built, even a kid space enjoyed by those young & old appeared seemingly out of nowhere! & yet amongst all of these huge moments were small details that made it clear this was OUR wedding to celebrate OUR day & OUR relationship.
When it comes to planning a wedding & budget, yes, HOC is definitely not for the those trying to stretch every single dollar. However, you get what you paid for & then some. Design aside, Meghan referred us to multiple vendors, who, in my opinion, were only willing to accommodate us because of their relationship with HOC. For any covid bride, or really any bride who wants the best of the best knows, it can get quite competitive trying to get the vendor of your choice. Working with a team so well know & respected in the industry is another perk of working with HOC. Meghan & her team also provided us with our day of support. Multiple people commented on how calm I was day of & it was all because Meghan & her team were taking such good care of us. There was not a single want or need or request that they were unable to help us with, all while keeping us well fed & hydrated. It was truly the greatest gift to be able to have the freedom to actually enjoy our wedding.
Weddings have changed & timelines are totally different given the past 2 years & how busy vendors are, but one thing you can depend on is that HOC gets the job done on time & beyond your expectations. Thank you SO much to Meghan & everyone at House of Catherine. It was our absolute pleasure & honor to have been able to celebrate our special day with you all by our side, supporting us every step of the way!!
We started working with HOC in summer of 2019 while planning out October 2020 wedding. Obviously, the universe had other plans for our wedding and we were forced to re-plan twice. We also had a venue and date change. HOC didn't miss a beat, they assured us they could pivot and essentially re-plan our wedding in 3 months when we had a small window of safety in Spring 2021, and they delivered! Meghan and team listened to our wants and needs (many, many. many emails, calls, texts) and provided an amazing vision that came to life beautifully. HOC does an amazing job of adding special touches throughout the event that you maybe would not have considered but ended up being the best part of the wedding. No details were spared and we appreciated how cohesive everything was. From the flower direction they provided to the florist, to the tablescapes, rugs, couch and table rentals, seating chart, and special decorative items, everything worked beautifully together. We still get compliments on how beautiful our wedding was and it's all thanks to Meghan and her team of little creative geniuses. I couldn't recommend HOC enough and look forward to when we can work together again.
Meghan and her team were beyond amazing! We were a covid wedding and had to pivot from a venue to a backyard wedding with only a few months and nothing but an empty backyard. Meghan went above and beyond and made it the most amazing experience! Such an amazing and creative team to work with! Highly recommend.
Meghan and the HOC team are truly gifted and what they do. Our New Year’s Eve wedding was contemporary, cool and oh-so-magical. Shimmery linens provided a perfect backdrop for unique place settings, that accented the golden chairs. Candlelight cast a soft glow throughout the entire room. Somehow they managed to make the massive ballroom feel intimate and warm. Meghan really listened to what my daughter and I envisioned and turned our wish list into reality.
Meghan and the HOC team will bring your wildest dreams to life. HOC was juggling so many events in 2021 but still made me feel secure. Throughout the experience of working with HOC, Meghan became like family to me. She paid attention to all of my many requests (and I was not the easiest client, as I had a very specific vision for my big day) and turned them into reality in a way that was even better than I could have imagined. Meghan battled an unprecedented heat wave to make my outdoor wedding the best day of my life, and for that, I am forever thankful. When you hire HOC, you hire an incredible family. I couldn't recommend them enough, and I look forward to hopefully working with them again in the future. Thank you, Meghan and team, for everything. Don't hesitate to hire them.
House of Catherine was truly the most amazing team to work with for our wedding day! I was originally going to be married on October 3, 2020, however with the pandemic, we had to unfortunately move the wedding to October of 2021. With that said, HOC made the transition effortless and seamless for both my husband and I. We were able to relax and fully trust in Meg and her entire team to execute and dazzle us with her stunning work!
She had not only designed my bridal shower and turned the room into a tropical pink paradise, but she elevated our wedding ballroom into something I never could have imagined. The ballroom was completely transformed into a fairytale complete with custom pink floral trees scattered around the room, hundreds of candles, mirrored accents and a show stopping dance floor! From the small details to the large scale operations, nothing went unnoticed. It was more than I could her ever dreamed. The whole night was beyond magical and I would trust HOC with any future events! I not only consider them the most amazing wedding vendor, but very close friends. With the short time we've known one another, I can honestly say they have the biggest hearts, an eye for creativity and thinking outside the box, and the hard work/dedication needed to make it all come to life!
I have been dreaming of hiring Meghan and her team for years… well before my engagement. What I admired most is their ability to make each wedding different and really personal to each couple. They really push the limit of each venue and thought of things I could never imagine. You all were so accommodating when needed, especially during the stress of Covid. I cannot express how thankful we are that you helped us have the wedding of our dreams. Thank you for all that you do!
Meghan and her team at HOC will hands down create the most unforgettable magic on your wedding day. Every detail was so thoughtful and meaningful - every design was creative, chic, and flawless. I am so impressed with the amount of work these ladies put into each client, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had them create the wedding of my dreams. Forever fan-girling over your work, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We love you! Xoxo
I knew if I were to have a wedding, the one vendor I needed was House of Catherine. To say I'm happy with my decision is an understatement. From the initial call, I knew I was in great hands. She just understood the vibe I was going for and matched it to the venue as well. Meghan and the HOC team created an absolute dream of a wedding for us. They are some of the best wedding creatives out there. I cried when I opened up our proof viewer and saw what they had proposed for our event. She and her team thought of every detail. They coordinated the details perfectly with the next - from the tablecloths to the signage, to the menus, to the napkins (seriously, I didn't know I could love a napkin so much). Not to mention, they worked last minute after I moved the reception venue just three weeks before the date. I can not be more grateful. If you want your event to stand out and pop and want your special day to be extra special, hire House of Catherine. I promise it will be worth it!
I don't even know where to start!!!! Meghan and her team creates absolute magic. We went from a traditional venue to switching to a backyard wedding (reaching out to HOC 3 months before our date with a wish and prayer that they were somehow available due to all of the cancellations/postponements, and we were in luck, they had our date). Meghan truly pulled every aspect of what we wanted out of our day and made it a reality. She also recommended absolute all-star vendors that we needed for our day as well (i.e. LoveHaus – couldn’t do it without you guys either!!). She just got us – she completely understood (and created) the look we were going for – we wanted the focus on the bar – AND she made it a MOMENT. Meghan had no problem collaborating with the vendors we had already booked like our florist - Ivy on Main. The florals they came up with for our overall design were drop dead gorgeous. The combination of dried & fresh just meshed so perfectly together. The combination of dark elements, mixed with subtle fall hues, and natural wood tones came together so perfectly. The rentals and linens that she choose were perfect. They came up with things I couldn't have even imagined. Meghan nailed our wedding… hands down. My best advice for any new brides - hire HOUSE OF CATHERINE, immediately. As a super indecisive person I couldn’t even begin to articulate what exactly I wanted from a style perspective and she knew exactly what to do. TRUST her, LET her do her thing (SHE'S A GENIUS). From invitations to signage, to overall design, to the mood that they created I’m SO thankful we had the privilege of working with them for our wedding. Everything was picture perfect. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
People are warn you about the post wedding “blues”. Well, my “blues” are navy with forsenthisyas in ginger vases.
Our day was absolutely perfect. It was so beautiful, fun but most of all it was US. Words could never describe how much I appreciate HOC. Meghan, Kelsey and Mariah know how to work magic. They transform a backyard into a breathtaking venue. They make your day feel like it’s yours.
HOC supported me every. single. day. leading up to our wedding. I will never, ever be able to thank my girls for enough. HOC listened to my ideas, enhanced my vision(s) and made them a reality. I will never be able to thank them enough.
Using HOC takes your event to the next level. Megan created multiple moments on our wedding day including our welcome table, our personalized quote sign in our lounge, a signature drink sign with featuring our dogs, and an incredible wine shelf seating chart with customized labels and tags. Love is never canceled, as we were reminded by HOC, and it was a good day for a good day!
I cannot say enough incredible things about Meghan and her entire team. I am not creative in the slightest bit but HOC worked with me to figure out exactly how to make my wedding unique, tasteful but most importantly still fit the style and personality of my husband and I!! The team is so professional and so talented with everything they do. PLEASE look no further than this group right here. I truly believe the reason our wedding stood out was because of all the incredible things they did ..from the invitations and seating chart to the welcome signs and table decor, everything was pristine!!! 10/10 can’t wait to work with these ladies again!
Hiring House of Catherine is the best decision you'll ever make when planning a wedding. No matter what situation presents itself, what look & style you're going for, or last minute hurdles that you have to jump through, Meghan's team will get you through it and ensure you have the wedding day of your dreams. They are truly the best, easy to work with and communicate with. I could write for hours on end of how they were able to pull off the most incredible wedding in a matter of 3 1/2 weeks after our original venue was cancelled, but I'll keep it simple. If you're considering hiring them, just do it now!
I can’t even begin to describe how amazing the entire House of Catherine team is. From start to finish (and we had a long stretch from when we first started working with them up until the wedding due to Covid) they were absolutely amazing. As you can imagine Covid weddings are stressful and they were able to work with you and make you feel stress free because of how on top of everything they were. Not only are they extremely reliable with communicating with you during the entire process of planning, they are so talented and will make your wedding unique and exactly how you visioned it times ten. Since we had to change our venue last minute and had so many changes I did not know how our wedding would come together, but it looked better than I could have ever imagined and we got so many compliments from our guests. The House of Catherine team knows how to bring your vision to life and add little moments into your wedding that you will never forget. I am so appreciative and happy that we worked with them and if you are thinking of hiring them you will absolutely not be disappointed! Thank you!
House of Catherine is worth every penny! During Covid we had to pivot and scramble several times for my sisters bridal shower and it ended up being better than we could have imagined. We contacted Meghan and her team 3 weeks before the event and wondered if executing this event in that time would be possible. Meghan took all our worries away. Her team ended up transforming my parents upstairs landing into a beautiful Italian restaurant!!! Guests were blown away and pictures transformed you into a country many miles away. We can not say enough great things about House of Catherine and would recommend them to Everyone. Thank you guys so much for defying all odds. Xx
It is hard to put into words how grateful I am to have had HOC and Meghan in my corner during this wedding process. From the start, Meghan and her team were kind, professional, and extremely talented. I had originally seen their work with creative seating charts and soon discovered how much more they were capable of. Beyond all of the talent and design, when COVID hit- they not only honored my new date and sent me a thoughtful care package, but they re-designed my entire wedding in 10 days after my venue backed out. To say they saved the day would be an understatement. They seamlessly worked along other vendors and turned my childhood backyard into an oasis any bride would feel special in. The attention to small details made a backyard wedding feel like an upscale garden dream. I will never forget my wedding day for many reasons, and HOC was an integral part of that. I highly recommend HOC if you want your dream wedding to become a reality beyond expectations.
Where to start! From beginning to end, working with Meghan and her team was an absolute delight, they were always professional, timely and reassuring. I always admired their work so as soon as began to plan my special day I knew they were a MUST. I used their services for the invitations and carried it through to day-of decor - I could not have been more pleased with the process and how everything turned out! Our guests were left impressed and I was blown away, I love their style more than anything and it is beyond unique in this wedding world! I look forward to using this team myself again for another event and will continue to recommend them to friends and family - but Knot users, they are the best in the biz!
This review is long overdue - Meghan and her team at House of Catherine are amazing beyond words! If you are looking for a vendor that will truly make your vision come to life - they will make it happen! Their attention to detail is second to none. When I originally sat down with Meghan to discuss my ideas for the big day, she was able to effectively take those ideas and expand them into an experience that no one had ever seen before. My big day was truly perfect because of the hard work and detail from the House of Catherine team. If you are looking for a vendor that will make your Pinterest wedding ideas a reality, they are the perfect fit for you! You will truly not regret hiring them!
It's taken me a bit to get around to this review because honestly I wanted to make sure that I was able to do it justice! Let me just start by saying HOC, Meghan and team are true visionaries. They take your Pinterest ideas that you have dreamed about since your engagement (or pre-engagement for some of us) and curate something unique, stylish, never before seen, and yet effortlessly you. From invitations to day of decor, the HOC team makes sure that every part of your wedding day is branded from start to finish. When our guests received our invitations with an emerald green velvet envelope liner, I had many compliments ranging from this is the most beautiful wedding invitation I have ever seen to OMG I can't stop touching the velvet liner lol. I've always thought that a wedding invitation is the first "taste" of what your wedding is going to be like, so why make it basic? Well, you shouldn't. Which is reason 1 of 293794829034 that you should hire House of Catherine. She will design something that will not only blow you away, but also every guest that receives that incredibly breathtaking piece of mail. Next, HOC worked alongside my florist and created an absolute floral dream. Meghan worked with my florist to create 3 unique centerpieces, an out of this world sweetheart table, a mirror moment (which I didn't even request, she just saw the mirror in the venue and had to do it, swoon!), and that escort wall. Let me tell you, the wall is what you need in your life. I got married 5 months ago, and I STILL have guests commenting on the day of decor. Meghan incorporated quotes from Halo by Beyonce, which was our first dance song, that flowed effortlessly. She filled the venue with candles, branded with signage, and designed to make it all come to life. My mom and I still talk about how HOC was the best investment we could have ever made. The attention to detail is flawless and I promise you that you NEED her to take your wedding to the next level from start to finish. If I could do it all over again, House of Catherine would be my first call.
Meghan and the HoC team are some of the most creative people I've had the pleasure of working with! I am the opposite of the creative type and after talking with Meghan on our first call, it was clear to me that she would take care of all things design from save the dates to day of branding with care and thoughtfulness.
We talked about floral arrangements based on discussions I had with RAM Floral and from the get go she had ideas about incorporating those colors into our save the dates and invitations. Our guests raved about our custom save the dates and invitations and not that I'm biased or anything, but I absolutely loved them too. They were so unique and I felt special being a part of something so creative. Meghan and her team were very communicative throughout the entire process even when I upped and moved across the country. The day of details and branding were definitely a show stopper for us and for our guests.
Everything was cohesive and intentional from the bar napkins to the custom escort wall to bar signage to our surprise gold names on our plates when we sat down. My guests are still raving about every detail we had at our wedding and I'm so thankful to have worked with a team like this.
First off, I have to say that our signage and invitations were absolutely stunning. Everyone raved about how beautiful they were. This is the vendor I was most excited about. Their work is so beautiful. My problem with House of Catherine is all about communication. I felt like I was virtually hounding them for a reply and as a result, our invitations went out late. I emailed them 8/4/19 regarding some revisions I wanted to make on the invitations. They were due to be mailed out 9/13/19 originally. I did not receive a reply from them so I reached back out regarding the revisions I wanted to make on 8/21/19 (that's 13 business days later) and I did not receive a reply to that e-mail until 8/27/19. I can totally understand a company such as theirs being extremely busy. However, my invitations were due to go out soon and still needed more revisions. As a result the invitations for my 11/16/19 wedding did not actually get mailed out until 10/1/19. That only gave my guests 16 days to receive them, make plans for attending the wedding, and RSVP. I actually had people who had received a Save the Date call me asking if they were still invited because they hadn't received anything and the wedding was 6 weeks away. I hired this company in June of 2018... I feel like at the very least my invitations should have gone out on time so communication is a big issue. We had guests who were invited from Scotland so this gave them zero time to receive their invite. Not only that, when House of Catherine sent their invitations out they didn't include enough postage. In fact, the Scottish invites didn't go out until after 10/7/19 with the correct postage. Finally one guest received two identical invitations (but were only on the spreadsheet I sent House of Catherine once) and one guest didn't receive a return envelope with an address of where to send it with their RSVP card. There work is amazing, but their communication and punctuality need improvement.
Meghan and her team put together our Save-the-dates, invitations, and day-of signage + decor. Working with Meghan through the creative process was one of my favorite aspects of wedding planning. Meghan really took into account our various design elements, including flowers and our venue, Bartram's Garden (Philadelphia, PA) . We received so many compliments on the elegant, unique invitations. Meghan's vision also helped us to make our venue come alive. They designed our seating chart, bar + table signage, as well as supplied various decor to create a memorable ambiance.Even with a large, outdoor space, she created the intimate setting that I desired.
Meghan and her team were amazing from start to finish- I stumbled upon House of Catherine’s instagram only a few months before my wedding and fell in love with her work! I was hesitant to reach out at first because my wedding was less than 6 months away and I had *thought* I had everything under control. It was a few weeks later that I reached out to Meghan after a lot of conversations on insta. I was being bombarded at work- leaving me with no time to make my vision a reality and feeling overwhelmed. She so graciously swooped in and executed my vision better than I could have imagined. I got married 10 months ago and guests still talk about everything this team did! I am so happy with Meghans work that I refer her team to all of my friends! My only regret is that I did not find them sooner!
I can't quite describe just how special, unique, memorable and meaningful House of Catherine made our wedding experience, from start to finish. Her talent, dedication to our vision, and her ability to design the wedding of my dreams is truly unmatched. Meghan literally knew exactly my vision from the beginning, without even saying much, and having her be able to read my mind essentially, along with collaborate so well with our other vendors, made our wedding really shine. I have always envisioned our wedding day to resemble us, as a couple, in a glamorous yet urban-industrial way; we knew simple yet consistent personalization was something we really wanted to follow through, from our save the dates all the way through each detail of our wedding. HOC did just that, in the most beautiful way. She started the planning process with us really working to nail down our vision so she could create memorable details that would be used all throughout our wedding process. She created the most modern-elegant monogram design that was a central element used in our invitations, signage, as well as bigger details on our wedding day like our custom photo booth and our extravagant 8 foot seating chart. She kept design elements simple, yet bold with the contrast of white and black just as we had hoped, and worked wonderfully with our other vendors to ensure everyone understood and executed the day we dreamt of. She did just that- and more. She always went above and beyond in everything she communicated, designed for us, and created for our wedding day. She was receptive to our feedback and always went *big* with my ideas. Nothing was sub-par. Everything was above and beyond, and that is exactly what you should look for when seeking out someone to bring your branding and design to life. Our wedding would not have been what it was- a real life dream- without House of Catherine. I am beyond grateful for her dedication to designing the wedding of our dreams and making our ideas come to life with her incredible talent and ability to create real, unthinkable magic. THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, for the most perfect day. We love you.
When I first saw House of Catherine’s work, I was so impressed and when I got a chance to meet Meghan and begin working with her, I felt incredibly honored to have someone of her incredible talent branding and designing our wedding. We worked with Meghan on the most beautiful wedding invitation suite and the color scheme and monogram that she chose ended up carrying through the theme for pretty much everything. Meghan also designed our programs, menus, all signage for day of and the most stunning escort wall of which my friends and family cannot stop talking about still! She also hand-painted pajama shirts for my girls, which made a perfect bridesmaid gift. I was almost instantly in-love with every proof that she showed us along the way, but also felt very comfortable talking to her about minor tweaks or suggestions. She was incredibly collaborative and delivered repeatedly. Meghan continually went above and beyond to deliver for us which included meeting me in-person for drops-offs twice (to my office no less) as well as an in-person design meeting and venue walk-through with our other vendors. Meghan’s work is stunning – she is a visionary and is what Pinterest dream weddings are made of. She is also an incredibly hard-working women growing her own business and I was very proud to be able to support that. Working with House of Catherine was one of the biggest highlights of our wedding planning experience and I would recommend Meghan’s work 1000 times over.
Meghan and her team at HoC designed our invitations and also our entire Day Of design. We loved her creativity, ideas and final products so much! We went through 3 iterations on our invitations and she was very flexible in incorporating my design ideas as well. The final product was so gorgeous and unique - we got so many compliments from guests! We carried the invite suite colors, designs and monogram throughout our entire wedding. Many guests noticed the central theme and LOVED it! For the day of - we loved every design!! There were a few last minute changes on her end for the designs, and everything came out great! She even created some personalized monogram stickers for our fudge favors very last minute for us. Her designs were so unique and definitely set the feel for our wedding starting all the way at the beginning with the invites, which is exactly what we wanted.
House of Catherine’s work is beautiful, but I was completely disappointed with the process and how everything was handled both during and after our wedding. Our envelopes for our invitations didn’t stay closed and opened in the mail, and the ink was smudged on several of them even before they were sent out. Also, the last 5 addresses on our list were not included, this is a basic quality check, when I asked for the additional envelopes, they were missing the return address. At this point I just wanted them mailed so we mailed them. On our actual wedding day our brothers were left off the programs, as well as one of our groomsmen. After checking the document I had sent...(as this is a stressful time and I very well could have left off the names) the names were indeed on the document. Some of our escort cards had spelling errors...again I went back and checked, and they were sent with the correct spelling. The crowning blow was that day of the wedding my wedding coordinator coming into the bridal suite asking if I had table numbers and escort cards coming. The cards and numbers did come, however it was unneeded stress on my wedding day, especially when we had planned ahead of time for them to be dropped off. When addressing all of these concerns with Megan after the wedding she deferred these mistakes to her team and fired back at me when I have documents to prove the aforementioned above. The email response had a downright disrespectful tone. Like stated above...the work (when done properly and delivered on time as promised and paid for) is beautiful but quite frankly not worth the hassle.
Meghan is one amazing visionary. My wedding was in Antigua, Guatemala which is an old colonial town from the 1800's. Our venue was an old convent that was left in ruins and we knew we wanted something special for our wedding items. This description is exactly what I told Meghan and she crafted the most beautiful and delicate invitations, place cards, programs, menus and guest signage. Somehow she was able to get inside my head and create exactly what I wanted. That is the special gift that she has. All of our guests immediately sent us texts telling us how beautiful they thought our invitations were. They had never seen anything like it. Meghan is extremely nice and knows how to work with brides (which can be a little crazy, I know!) She always wants to make sure that you are fully satisfied and happy with the products. I am so happy I found her on Instagram after months of searching. I truly recommend her for all your wedding needs! Oh and I also bought the super cute Boujee bride t-shirt that everyone loved!
We used House of Catherine for our save the dates, invitations, and day-of decor/event design. Meghan and her team made our vision come to life in ways that I never thought were imagineable. She designed a custom monogram for us that was incorporated into our entire wedding design from the day we sent out our save the dates to the last dance at our wedding reception. This was a really cool touch! Her style and abilities to push conventional wedding decor far beyond traditional standards made our reception (held at Le Meridien Philadelphia) absolutely stunning. Our wedding was anything but typical. It was incredible. And most importantly, it was us. She was there the day of our wedding and set everything up, staying well into the night to make sure every detail was perfect. I never ever though we’d hire a designer for our wedding, but it relieved SO much stress and was well worth it. It was really worth going through one vendor for multiple components of our day rather than trying to wrangle different people to all get on the same page. Meghan really cares about her brides and will stop at absolutely nothing to ensure you are happy (and totally blown away) in the end. I feel like I gained a friend throughout this entire process which I am so grateful for. I highly recommend House of Catherine for everything. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Meghan!
I love Meghan and all the things she has done for me. She did my daughter’s baby shower and we worked great together. She heard what I said and followed through. She always got back to me. She is super creative and full of ideas. She went out of her way to get it all done. Then she helped with my sister-in-laws wedding. Again we were so pleased. All of her touches make an event so special. I highly recommend HOC.
There are no words for how incredible our wedding turned out. Meghan went above and beyond - working with our venue and florist to create unique statement pieces that showcased our personality and style. Meghan was super responsive to emails and flexible with last minute seating chart changes, making the most difficult part of planning completely stress free. We are still getting comments about how beautiful everything was. If you are looking for event styling - look no further - you'll love what Meghan comes up with!!
What can I say? I LOVED working with Meghan. She created the most beautiful/unique invitations for my shower. She made the design process fun. If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind invitations and design, Meghan is your girl! There is no doubt I’ll be using HOC for all upcoming special events.
Meghan is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the ability to take what's in your mind and bring it to life. We used House of Catherine for all of our wedding stationary- the save the dates, formal invitations, and day-of items. If I could give her 6 stars, I would. She is easy to get a hold of, lays out an itinerary and deadline that she follows, and is prompt with returning emails, phone calls, etc. If you are looking for a one-of-a-kind and special way to stand out with your wedding invites, etc., hand over your ideas to Meghan- she will create something extraordinary!
It was a pleasure working with Meghan for an event we recently executed in Philadelphia. With such a quick turnaround of only a couple weeks to establish a theme and all the details involved, Meghan was able to complete our vision for the events' theme along with her style and class. With each and every change of detail along the way, Meghan was there to help make our event a success! Not only was our event beautiful from several different elements, but absolutely stunning thanks to Meghan and her execution! The elements provided completed the night and we could not have done it without Meghan and her team. We look forward to working with House of Catherine again for many future events!
We have been working with Meghan since October of 2017. From our engagement photos, save the dates, wedding invitations and wedding photography; she has been amazing to work with! From every idea to execution, her design sessions have encompassed everything we wanted to achieve. We started planning our two events, 1 month apart in separate states. She drove 14 hours to northern Michigan to ensure our photography remained consistent and we helped her write her first book (our wedding invite)!
I am so happy we found her! We loved her digital work ups, the mood board she compiled really helped getting our creative juices going. She helped enhance many aspects of our wedding presentation, the signage for our wedding day was truly the figurative icing on our cake. She embraced our desire for contemporary/vintage while paying a homage to our eighties childhood with a photo view finder. Thank you for embracing all of our quirks and helping us on our wedding journey!

It was a pleasure working with Meghan- as a NY bride getting married in the Philly area, she was extremely flexible meeting in either city. Many of our guests remarked on how beautiful our invitations and day-of stationary were. Meghan picked up on my aesthetic very quickly and even collaborated with my florist to make the perfect day-of signage. She not only delivers on every detail, she also provides some great inspo on what would work well if you're on the fence about anything. Definitely recommend working with Meghan and her growing team!
Meghan was great to work with! She was very time efficient and creative! Works with you to sort out every detail until you love all the designs. Would definitely recommend.
Meghan was so great to work with! My fiancee and I enjoyed meeting with her to discuss how all of our wedding stationery could capture our personal styles, wedding colors, and our theme of "industrial chic." She communicated with us throughout the design, printing, and shipping process and the online proof gallery was very helpful. Our invitations ended up more unique and more beautiful than we had imagined. Meghan has a great eye for how to layer different materials. Assembling the invitations I truly felt like I was sending each of my guests a little present.
House of Catherine is the place to go to for any of your wedding stationery. Meghan the owner is the sweetest person you could ever work with. Not only does she take her time to really listen to her brides and the vision they have but she becomes more than just a person you hired. Meghan actually becomes a friend! She's honest, down to earth and takes pride in what she does. I'm still currently working with her for my wedding BUT let me tell you she has not disappointed me yet! I'm so excited for our guest to recieve our beautiful invitations and everything else Meghan will create for the wedding. I will definitely recommend her to any future bride. Meghan, keep doing your thing girl! You are in the right profession! Xoxo
