MLH Events

e being so pleasant and engaging. She worked with me through the course of several in person meetings and over the phone to make sure everything was on track for the big day. I remember our introductory meeting, she drove the extra 45 minutes to meet me at a halfway point. We spent about an hour talking about the wedding and laying down a timeline. After we left, my fiance (husband), was like, "Do you feel better now? She is great!" I was having so much anxiety about planning up until that point, but after hiring and meeting Megan, it was like I could breathe again! And she made sure everything went smoothly prior to the wedding and on the day too! She even stayed late to make sure every last guest got on the last (and late) shuttle! And dropped off our flowers at our brunch venue for the next morning. Needless to say, Megan goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding is everything you dreamed it would be. Oh! And her team is great too, very sweet and very very helpful! Hire MLH Events, you won't reget it! Megan ROCKS!

perience she helped us have.

e to us and the wedding weekend events in countless ways. We used her connections to book nearly every vendor aside from from our videographer and live band. She made it incredibly easy to have her facilitate and take care of communication amongst vendors as well as contract review. She had worked multiple times at our venue (Wolf Oak Acres) and knew the property down to the wire. She came with us to almost every vendor meeting (even if those meetings lasted up to 3 hours), and was there every step of the way, bringing up relevant points and questions that we never would have thought of. She definitely wore many hats aside from coordinator, she was a good friend and confidant, even a therapist at times! After the wedding we had unbelievable feedback from our family and friends, saying things like it was "the best wedding they'd ever been to," "never had more fun at a wedding" or even "these were some of the best days of our lives." We attribute all of those words and more to her, and there is no way everything would have run as smoothly without her and her team. Book her without hesitation and tell all the future brides in your life about her! Thank you again Megan! Love, Kristin and Craig

ything in and didn’t provide much support, but we were initially thinking we could handle everything ourselves. We are really glad we hired Meghan and didn’t try to DIY the whole thing! After a few conversations, she had a good handle on what our vision was and she took it to the next level, bringing in additional décor and doing a phenomenal job of styling the décor that we had picked out, suggesting a few details that we had forgotten to plan. She and her team did all the set-up and styling and made sure our venue was absolutely gorgeous on the day of. She also helped us think through the sequence of events for our ceremony and reception, moments for which we needed to select songs, what kind of sound equipment we’d need on site, etc. In addition, she was extremely professional and organized when coordinating things with all of our vendors leading up to the big day, talking through all the logistics with them and making sure they had everything covered. She kept us, our family, the wedding party, and our vendors organized to the minute on the day-of with a very detailed itinerary. Meghan and her team made sure that we were all comfortable and enjoying every detail of our special day. We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She even made sure our marriage certificate was properly signed and sent in to the Town Clerk! (Our officiant was a close friend who’d recently been ordained online and this was his first wedding.) Her team also did the tear down at the end of the night, grouping together everything for the various vendors and us to pick up the next day. We strongly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially if you’re working in a venue that doesn’t provide that kind of support. She made our day a breeze.

ries. We were a pretty relaxed couple (at least we think we were) when it came to planning, not too tied up in details. At our first meeting, Megan picked up on this and helped us through the process. She thinks of every detail, literally everything, and asks for your opinion. She is very respectful of all of your decisions and does not push anything on you. She will meet with you and your venue liaison all together to ensure no leaf is left unturned. The day of, Megan and her team are there with smiles and water bottles : ) They really make the day stress free knowing there is someone (not the gracious aunt or family friend) to take care of all of the behind the scenes. This key detail made a world of a difference! All of our family and friends were able to enjoy themselves the entire weekend. Our groomsmen nicknamed them "the wedding squad" joking that we had hired secret service for the day. I can't say enough good things about Megan herself and all of the MLH Events team! 100% recommend to everyone for their princess weekend : )

te, and secondly, to manage everything beginning wither the rehearsal and ending with the end of the reception. Luckily, we never needed to use her for the first reason. However, did we ever need her for the second reason! Megan was terrific in helping us plan and coordinate everything right up to the rehearsal. She had several meetings with the bride and groom to make sure she understood their vision for the big day. She made all of the follow-up phone calls to the vendors to make sure they would be where they needed to be on time. They were! She really helped organize the rehearsal on Friday, and Saturday, she and her team were everywhere, doing everything! The great thing is that they almost seemed invisible! There is not one thing I would change. Especially noted, she has requested some loose, extra flowers from the florist. She beautifully arranged these on the head table in a very casual, almost strewn way, but my gosh, they were beautiful! I cannot thank Megan and her team enough for making our family wedding perfect, beautiful, and seamless! Hire her and yours will be wonderful too.

week leading up to it) Megan and her team were a well oiled machine! I worried about nothing and neither did my bridal party. They managed everything including a transition from the church to reception, ensured everyone was having a good time and assisted with all the logistics and vendors. It was amazing! I had some many people come up to me afterwards and also rave about Megan- they were so impressed with how fantastic they were and how they helped bring my wedding vision to life. I can’t thank her enough for all she did to make our day so special!!

calls and emails from afar Megan was so helpful in answering our many questions and putting our wedding stress at ease. Every time I got off the phone with her I felt instantly relieved because I knew Megan had everything under control. When it came to our wedding day, Megan arrived with two of her assistants who were equally lovely and energetic and they made sure everything went absolutely perfect from decorating the venue, coordinating vendors, to making sure shoes were tied before walking down the aisle. If you are looking for a day of wedding coordinator, I couldn’t recommend working with Megan enough

asked "HOW could we have done any of this without Megan?" She thinks of every last detail, and then some. She brought in all the personal touches a wedding needs, and kept us on path with what a wedding celebration really is about - US getting married! As you are probably starting to realize, this wedding planning thing is stressful AF. Megan allowed me to be that "chill bride" we all strive to be. Our day was greater than the wedding of my dreams, and it was all due to Megan and her team. Now that it's all over, I'm so sad I won't be seeing her regularly. I feel like I gained a true friend and I'm going to miss her so much!

e most thorough wedding check list; she resolved issues between the bride/groom & us, the bride's parents; she recommended vendors; and was always calm & wise. At the Rehearsal, we relied totally on Megan, as she led us through the dry run--even the minister followed her lead! Megan, and her team, worked like a well-oiled machine the next day. She came up with creative solutions to a couple of problems-- they were weather-related. At the reception, a friend asked me how I could be so calm? The answer was that Megan had everything under control and I knew that I could trust her completely. I am a former events planner and I feel that Megan provided us with the gold standard of planning and care.

from the start she was helpful, upfront, and made me feel so much better about planning our wedding. She scheduled calls with me to review our plans, and then put together her idea of how the day should go. Two weeks before the wedding, I had a last minute trip that allowed me to visit the venue. She met me there to discuss all of our plans. This was soooo helpful. I felt at ease. Now to the day of the wedding, she had everything covered! I never worried! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT from coordinating the vendors, the rehearsal practice the night before, the set up of the venue (STUNNING), the take down, the organization of the buses - EVERYTHING. I could not have had such a stress free and amazing wedding day with out Megan. My family was impressed and so was I! Thank you MLH Events!!! :) :)

venue from scratch and accommodate A LOT of different ideas and thoughts from my family and she did everything so well! Many of my friends and family said it was one the most unique and well organized weddings they had ever been to. Megan made the day amazing for us, would highly recommend!

l day of. My venue recommended MLH Events to me when I was starting out in the planning stages, and it is the best thing that could have ever happened to us. Megan took note of how involved I was in the details, embraced it, and was on top of her game the entire time. Megan (perfectly) brought our classy/elegant/timeless vision to life. To quote our venue after our wedding took place, "We must tell you that the ballroom has never been decorated like that before. Absolutely immaculate." That is all thanks to Megan. We were able to fill in unique touches such as our wedding favors and wedding song, all thanks to Megan's creative mind and our love for the TV show "Friends." On top of all of these details, Megan had nearly a 300 person wedding to orchestrate with a 24 person bridal party. Numerous vendors too. Let me tell you, she did it beautifully. When it was time to cut the cake, pose for a new picture, enjoy our first dance, whatever it was...it was as if Megan appeared out of thin air like an angel with a gentle reminder over my shoulder, "it's time." That was the greatest gift. I did not have to worry about connecting the dots on the day of my wedding. Megan did it all. I also need to note how phenomenal Megan's assistants were on the day of our wedding. If I needed something, they were RIGHT there every single time and it was taken care of instantly. They were absolutely phenomenal. As an attentive person, I trusted Megan and her team to the point where I could let go of all the structure and planning in my head, and enjoy my wedding day. Our guests are STILL raving about how it was "the best and most beautiful wedding we have ever been to, and we've been to A LOT of weddings!" It truly was the most magical, best day of mine and my husband's life. We owe all of this to MLH Events. At the end, we did not view Megan as our wedding planner. She became part of our family. I highly, HIGHLY recommend MLH Events for ANY kind of wedding. Megan will bring your vision to life. I will forever be dreaming about this perfect day.

most struck with how Megan took the variety of decor items we gave her and completely enhanced our space beyond what we had envisioned. She’s incredibly organized and her attention to detail allowed us and our families to enjoy the wedding and not worry about any hiccups that could arise. My husband didn’t see value in hiring a day-of wedding planner originally, and now he’s going around telling everyone to hire Megan. Take it from two married, Type-A publicists, Megan is the best!

ht up so many details that I never would have thought to think of. After every meeting with Megan I left feeling much more relaxed. My mother and mother in law came to meetings with me, and after every single one they couldn’t help but rave about how great she was. On the wedding day they did an absolutely AMAZING job. From decorating our ceremony and reception venues to making sure all the vendors were where they needed to be they did it all. My husband doubted the need for a coordinator, however, after meeting with her the day before our wedding and seeing her and her team work at our wedding we both agreed that they were the best decision we made throughout the process!

was there all along the way to guide me, answers questions, offer suggestions, and meet with me. Our venue was amazing but we did have to bring in all of our own vendors from catering to renting linens, bartenders, and décor – which is a lot to coordinate. Megan made it look easy! When it came time for our wedding weekend – I was able to relax (well as much as a bride could!) because I knew Megan was on top of it. Our bridal party was impressed with her starting with our rehearsal dinner where she had the ceremony process down to a science! As I am not much of a planner or decorator, I gave Megan a lot of freedom to decorate our reception and cocktail hour space. Every time I walked into the venue I was blown away! She spent most of the day before the wedding and the day of making sure this was going to be the wedding of our dreams. It was!! My family, bridal party, and guests were blown away by our wedding and I couldn’t have done it without Megan! She and her staff made sure that no detail went unnoticed and that the timeline moved along flawlessly! Thank you Megan and MLH Events – we are still smiling from ear to ear over our amazing wedding!

e near her for us to try (fantastic pies!). When ever I had a little panic attack about silly things like linen colors, she was there to talk me through it. The day of the wedding I spoke to Megan first thing in the morning and asked what she needed me to do. She said "nothing." And you know what? She was right! I didn't need to worry about one thing with Megan there. My last little antidote was during the reception. I was dancing with my guests and Megan snuck over to me to ask if I wanted to change into my comfy shoes. The thoughtfulness and consideration she had for us was immeasurable. I really can't recommend her enough.

ver, we live out-of-state and so do our families. We knew we were going to need an expert in the area to help us out with planning. A friend recommended MLH Events and after one phone call, we were booked! We purchased the Weekend Warrior package, so Megan gave us her recommended vendors and we booked/planned a lot of details on our own. However, we couldn't have done it without her guidance! She met with us in person a few times and answered countless emails about the smallest of details. As it got closer to the wedding day, she had long phone calls with my mom and I to go over everything. She thinks of every single thing you might possibly need for your wedding day to go smoothly. We used her recommended vendors for just about everything (hair and makeup, florist, limo bus, DJ, etc) and they were all fantastic. Megan's expertise helped us with things like creating a wedding day timeline, creating a custom floor plan for our reception, a guest breakdown, etc. A few weeks before the wedding she took over full communication with our vendors and confirmed everything for us. She helped with the planning of our ceremony order and ran our rehearsal (a hard task considering our large bridal party and extended family). The day of the wedding, she and her assistant MacKenzie were absolutely invaluable. The way they set up the reception venue was even better than I could have possibly imagined - when I walked in that night, I literally gasped at how great it looked. They kept everything on schedule and if anything went wrong, I never knew about it. From my point of view, all the tiny details went super smoothly and there were no issues. Megan and MacKenzie helped with the smallest of things like wrapping me up in between photos so I didn't freeze, keeping track of my bouquet when I inevitably put it down somewhere, wrangling the bridal party and family and making sure everyone knew what they were doing, dealing with a fire alarm at the hotel which delayed things a bit, even having chalk handy to cover up the mud and dirt I got on my dress during our first look/photos before the ceremony. During our reception they made sure the bridal party all had drinks for toasts and refilled our waters countless times. They helped clean up after the reception as well and load everything into my parent's car which was such a huge help. Splurging for a wedding coordinator was some of the best money we spent on our wedding. Like I said before, I literally can't imagine planning our wedding without MLH Events. Our wedding day was everything we dreamt it would be and Megan made sure of it.

kage". I found it a little confusing to understand her role and responsibilities at times (vs. my role) but she ended up helping with identifying vendors and ordered/managed the flowers completely on her own. She also did the decor the day of the wedding and ensured everything went smoothly. Megan also personally picked-up highchairs and the after dinner snack. My only complaint is that during the planning process Megan would sometimes be unresponsive. There could be weeks go by before she'd reply to my emails. I understand she had other weddings scheduled sooner but I would have loved a quick note acknowledging my email. Either way, that's really my only frustration. Otherwise, Megan was incredibly professional and she's the sole reason my guests enjoyed the wedding as much as they did. In fact, many guests told me how well planned the wedding was! I found it funny because I didn't even start thinking about the "details" until about a week or two before the wedding. Thank goodness Megan had been thinking about the details; the guests only felt it was well planned was because of her! I really don't know how brides do it without a wedding planner. Thank you again for your help, Megan!

to figure out the overall look of our wedding and Megan somehow understood my poorly expressed thoughts. After just two conversations, she came up with an idea that became the central theme of our wedding. She also provided very useful information that was not necessarily obvious to the wedding novice. For example, she explained which vendors should be tipped and how much was appropriate. She also made recommendations about how to structure the events of the day to allow for the proper amount of time for everything. Wedding planning can be stressful and when you're spending large amounts of money on the venue, invitations, music, flowers and cake, it seems easy to cut costs on a wedding planner however, don't do it! We must echo the sentiment that is present throughout all of her reviews...Hiring Megan was worth every penny. It was the smartest thing we did throughout the whole planning process.

egan is professional, innovative, and passionate about what she does. Her personality and approachability made wedding planning fun and easy. We highly recommend MLH events and have stayed in touch with Megan years after our wedding.

wner had recommended Megan from MLH Events, stating she was organized and was on top of her game. My first impression of Megan was how energized, smiley and bubbly she was, but at the same time I could tell she meant business. Her insight and recommendations gave me security that everything was going to be handled. There were times I found it difficult to stay in touch with Megan, but sooner or later she would return my emails and texts. The day of my wedding she did not disappoint! Anything I needed Megan and her team were there to assist from placing my floral hair piece, learning how to tie a bow tie to placing band aids on my tired feet. I could not have been more pleased with how smoothly the day went. I was impressed with how beautifully decorated my ceremony and reception were, just like I pictured it. Megan is a pro and it is easily said this was not her first rodeo. I would highly recommend Megan as a wedding planner, I don’t know what I would have done without her.

ble to sit back and enjoy our wedding day because we were confident in Megan and her team's skills. I would absolutely recommend her!

to put together all of my ideas (or lack thereof) into a cohesive event that fit our style. My husband, parents, and I all agree that hiring MLH Events for Day Of Coordination to help plan my wedding was the best thing we could have done. Megan met with us several times to talk through everything from start to finish and brought up many things that we had totally forgotten to consider. She gave us a lot of great design ideas and had a ton of rental items which saved us time and money once we started getting into the little design details. She came up with the perfect timeline for our whole wedding weekend and she also coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure that everyone was on the same page (many of whom she already had a great relationship with). I also couldn't imagine not having her and her team there on our wedding day. We didn't have to worry about a thing because they were at our venue all day bringing everything together even more beautifully than we had pictured. They also stayed through the entire reception to make sure everything flowed smoothly and that all the candles stayed lit, etc. There is no way we could have pulled off such an amazingly beautiful wedding by ourselves and we would highly recommend hiring MLH Events to anyone who is even the slightest bit stressed out from wedding planning!!

ed that we bring everything in ourselves, from linen to serving utensils, to decor. It was a big job and Megan made it seem effortless!! I truly believe that without Megan I could not have done it! She took charge when she needed to and really ran the show so I didn't have to worry about a thing. She brought my vision to life on a blank slate venue and because of her our day was perfect. She is professional but fun and I can tell she truly LOVES her job becasue shows in her work! THANK YOU, MEGAN!!

f vendors and guests. I felt so frazzled and split: I hardly remember the people and the fun! I do remember I danced just one dance. ONE. So when my son got engaged, and I was acting "MOB" for his fiancee, I knew that this time around we should get a wedding coordinator. This wedding was at the Frog Pond, which is a beautiful setting, but NOTHING is provided, not even running water, so the list of things to get and do was extensive. I have no idea how we would have done it without Megan. We hired her as a “Weekend Warrior” but she provides so much more than that! We had several meetings in the months ahead, which were so helpful and directive. She kept us on track and provided so many gems of advice and information. She’ll think of things you won’t (even with all the on line lists available) and will help you sift through all those ideas and plans you got online to keep only what is important. She knew which vendors to choose, what and how many provisions to get...she knew of resources that we never saw on the online wedding sites. She's been through this so many times, she has a great list of vendors she has confidence in. And they have confidence in her, which is another bonus. When you tell them you’ve hired Megan, they know they’re working not just with a novice, but with a professional they respect. She was totally reassuring at all times, and always had our back, both quality and budget-wise. The day of the wedding, I totally relaxed and enjoyed myself, as did the bride and groom! We had a ball! If I heard it once, I heard it 10 times from our guests: "Who was that wedding coordinator? She was fabulous!" People noticed, because Megan made sure EVERYONE was having a good time!! She was worth her weight in gold. I can't possibly do her justice with my words.

eline of the day's events. These are not the only things you get when you book Megan. You get a fabulous wedding planner who makes sure your day goes off as executed! Megan never once came off as bossy as some may fear a wedding planner to be but instead like a confident big sister type or even friend! Thank you Megan for making mine and Rob's day amazing!!

o could meet those requirements. She was very responsive even though some of the vendors were not. Her years of experience in the Syracuse area ensured that our 6 month planning period was stress less. She supported all of our visits to the area and highly respected our time. The day of service was a lifesaver. Megan and her team had everything planned out, and we had nothing to worry about. She ensured that we were taken care of at all times. She worked really well with the photographer (which we got separately). I would recommend her to anyone.

day before the wedding to the day after the wedding. She is professional and thorough, fun and effective. She made sure every detail was planned but never overwhelmed me. She listened to what I envisioned and not only helped make it a reality, but she also offered suggestions that made my wedding even better. Megan works well with all vendors. I cannot recommend Megan more highly.
