Meg Henson Events

Exceptional service! Our weeding planner, Meg, went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. We had several meetings with her in the months leading up to the wedding to work out all the details. She offered great recommendations for how the day should be organized based on her vast experience. She thought of all the things that we didn’t even consider! She picked up and dropped off linens for the tables and made sure everything related to the vendors was organized. We had a lot of DIY ideas to save money, and she was eager to support! Her team made set up and clean up seamless. We also realty enjoyed her personality and felt like she was well organized but also very relaxed. I would highly recommend her if you’re searching for a wedding planner in the Wilmington, NC area!

We got married 10/20/23 and using Devon with Meg Henson Events was one of the best decisions we made! My fiancé and I originally weren’t going to hire a planner, but I’m glad we did! We bought the “month of” package and Devon made everything so easy! She came up with a timeline that was actually pretty flexible and reminded me of some of the little things I had forgotten and some things I didn’t even think of. On my wedding day, I literally didn’t have to do anything except get ready and have a good time! She and her assistant got the space ready and handled all the vendors. During the reception, she kept everything moving along the timeline as it should. She and her assistant were professional and a huge help!

My wedding would not have been a success without Meg! She is ON IT and quick to respond when you need her. I highly recommend!

Meg was an amazing wedding planner! My husband and I live outside of Wilmington, so finding a local wedding planner was very important to us! We found Meg and knew she was the perfect fit. I can honestly say I felt like I should be stressed about things during the planning process, but didn't have to be because I knew I had Meg by my side. She has great relationships with vendors in the area, and gets you what you are looking for so you can easily make decisions and keep moving forward. I highly recommend Meg if you are getting married in Wilmington!

Meg is the calming presence you need when planning your wedding! I hired her on as a month of/day of coordinator and I am so happy that I did. She made every step of the way leading up to our wedding smooth, effortless, and stress free. Any changes I threw at her leading up to the wedding she took unfazed and remained patient along the way. Every part of the day was perfect and just as we had envisioned, down to the details. I am truly so grateful for all of her help and would definitely recommend her and her team to anyone getting married!!

Working with Meg took all the stress out of the day - and the month leading up to it! I opted to do the month of coordination but I felt like I got so much more. Meg and her team were available in the several months leading up to the wedding to answer questions and offer advice throughout the planning process. That made for a seamless hand-off to Meg for the month of coordination. She effortlessly took charge and ensured everything was well-organized and on track. The team's organization through shared documents was so helpful and ensured every little detail was thought through. Meg and her team skillfully managed the day, allowing us to stay focused on the joy and excitement of the day. I had a mix of my own items and rentals and everything was set up exactly how I wanted. They even assembled a tedious escort card wall and stuck the little envelopes on it. As the day went along Meg was calm and so genuinely kind as she guided us through the events. We can't thank Meg and her team enough for making our wedding day an unforgettable and stress-free experience. If you want to be fully present and enjoy your day to the fullest, we highly recommend her services!

Meg and Devon were such a pleasure to work with and made my dream wedding come to life!!! Very professional and responsive. Meg and her team really go above and beyond to make everything as soon as possible! Would absolutely recommend Meg Henson Events!

Devon was outstanding to work with!! My husband and I do not live near where we were planning our wedding which made it challenging at times. I truly would not have been able to navigate the planning process without the help of Devon, let alone the day of the wedding. She gave me a full list of vendors as I am not from the area (all of which were amazing), was so flexible in meeting with us while we were in town, beyond organized, and just an absolute joy to work with. She handled anything and everything that came up to ensure our day was perfect. Could not recommend her more!!

Meg & Devon were so kind and helpful! They really perfected every detail and made the wedding so smooth and easy for us. We couldn't be happier with our decision to go with Meg Henson Events. Meg was professional, easy to work with, and great with communication. This was a great experience all around!

Meg was AMAZING!!! She dealt with everything we could possibly throw at her and more. She made sure that every detail was absolutely perfect and that we had everything we asked for. She was so understanding, kind, and friendly and was truly and wonderful person to work with.

Meg helped our day go by sooooo smoothly. We had a few hiccups at the beginning from other vendors and a forgotten photograph of my husbands grandmother, and Meg + her team didn’t even blink! It was situated before my makeup was even finished. I cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work and how lovely they were! If you’re debating getting a wedding planner or coordinator, DO IT! The amount of stress it saves you is worth every penny, and with Meg you have nothing to worry about. :)

Meg and her team were so great to work with and I truly wouldn't have been able to enjoy my big day without them. Meg was supportive and gave great advice throughout all of planning from big to even small questions I had over the 2 years of planning. On the day her and Devon were always 2 steps ahead making sure everything ran smoothly and myself and my husband could just relax and have fun!

I am so grateful for Meg and her team. I moved to Wilmington about 4 years ago and both of our families are over 3 hours away, so planning a wedding was very stressful. Meg helped me every step of the way. She communicates well and is easy to get a hold of. She was delight on the day of the wedding (not drill sergeant-like at all) and even came in clutch and resolved a minor crisis of a bridesmaid. Definitely recommend Meg Henson Events for your big day.

Meg was on top of everything! I would consider myself a very chill bride and not too opinionated, so when I couldn’t decide on something she stepped in with recommendations and suggestions which helped me a ton! Also an out of town bride, Meg gave me recommendations, direction, and guidance for planning based on her experience. The wedding day was smooth, just wish we could have gotten to the dance floor sooner, so if that’s the only “complaint” then I’d say it was a perfect day!

Meg Henson Events and her team were so critical in the planning and execution of an amazing wedding day! Devon was our month-of coordinator. She was organized (we had a shared doc which I loved) and made sure we were on track through the entire planning process. She was quick to respond when I needed recommendations or when I emailed with some random thought/question. She was crucial in coordinating with vendors and making the timeline run smoothly. She was very laid-back which I appreciated but still made things happen! I felt zero stress on my wedding day knowing that Devon was in charge :).

This review is a little late… life got in the way… Meg is an amazing event planner!! She is kind, flexible, understanding, and she made everything easy! We loved having her as part of our day. She came highly recommend and she did not disappoint. Thank you so much for all of your help and for being the best!

Meg and Devon were invaluable during the wedding/reception and wedding planning process. They gave great advice on vendors and how to problem solve, were so helpful setting up the reception, they took our ideas and elevated them, kept all events on track, and were so positive during each part of the planning process and the big day. Our guests said everything was amazing and one of the best weddings they had been to! It was so wonderful to see all the months of planning come together so smoothly on my daughter and son-in-law's big day. I was able to enjoy all the special moments because I knew everything was being taken care of for us. I HIGHLY recommend Meg Henson Events!

My venue required a day-of coordinator but after meeting with Meg Henson to discuss options, I knew that having a full service coordinator was a better fit for me. As a busy working mom I needed someone to keep me organized, on time, help with decision making, and communicate with vendors throughout the planning process. Meg & Devon were such an amazing team to work with over the past year as we planned my November wedding. They communicated so well along the way, offering meetings and phone calls as needed. On the wedding day, I found my stress level was surprisingly so low. I felt relaxed and in the moment and I honestly feel it was due to the work they put in along the way. Devon worked my event and was so wonderful, I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing she was on the wedding day keeping everything running smoothly for set-up, the ceremony, reception, and clean up. Would recommend Meg Henson Events 10/10!

What I love about Meg is how calm she is! If there was any issues that came up on my wedding day, I never noticed! The whole day/night ran incredibly smoothly. My husband and I had the best time! Leading up to the wedding Meg was always there to answer any questions I had and she offered tons of vendor suggestions which was also helpful. I couldn’t have gotten married without her! Highly recommend!

My husband and I got married in downtown Wilmington on 11/5/22 and worked with Meg the month before / day of - she is AMAZING! We started working with her about a year before our wedding and she was SO incredibly helpful in making this a seamless process for us. She was incredibly responsive and helped walk us through the entire process, whether that was the day of, working with vendors, or just helping us understand what needed to be done and when. On the day of the wedding, Meg and her assistant made the day absolutely incredible and seamless for us so that we were truly able to enjoy our special day! My only regret is not hiring Meg to be our planner for the entire process (we did month before / day of)... she is wonderful!!!

Meg was everything we could have asked for and more! I am so thankful we hired her for our October wedding at Bakery 105. Meg answered all of my questions quickly and made sure everything went smoothly. If anything went wrong the day of we have no idea, because Meg made everything absolutely perfect!

Meg was amazing! My spouse and I are bad at decisions, and Meg helped us create a vision from scratch. She knows everyone (vendors, bands, venues, etc.) and handled everything. We'd definitely work with her again!

Meg was so helpful during the planning process, I wouldn't of been able to pull of everything without her and her team!

If you are on the fence about wedding planner, JUST DO IT! Meg was pure joy to work with. She is incredibly organized and helpful throughout the entire process. She truly listens to what you want and your budget and creates something even better than you can dream of. Meg was the best decision I could have made when choosing people to help me with my wedding. She is worth every penny and more!

Meg and her team (especially Devon!) were phenomenal in making our day as memorable as possible. We could have not asked for a more special day! They were so detailed oriented and made it a million times easier for us to enjoy our wedding. We cannot thank them enough!

Meg is very knowledgeable about local vendors, made everything run smoothly and is just a pleasure to work with! We did some planning from out of state and she handled everything fabulously!

Devon was so great! She really took the time to make sure my day was perfect. From the morning until the very end! She set everything up and cleaned it all up and made sure we got everything back the next day. She took all the stress off of us on the wedding day! I would highly recommend Devon and staff! They were all fantastic!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Meg! My husband and I were married in an intimate backyard wedding on May 28th and Meg insured that everything went perfectly smooth! Initially, my parents thought that they could handle a small wedding without a coordinator... they were wrong. After the wedding, my mother was saying how “Meg was worth every single penny and more”! From vendor recommendations, completely handling our timeline, and even helping with set up, Meg did so much work behind the scenes and the day of. Our day was perfect and I can’t imagine it going even nearly as well without Meg’s help. Weddings (especially backyard weddings) require a ton of planning and detail, so do yourself a favor and hire Meg! You will not regret it!

Meg is seriously the best! Working with her was so easy. From beginning to end, we felt comfortable and confident with our choice in her. Every question or concern that I had along the way, she had an answer to. She made everything feel so smooth and seamless on the day-of so we didn't have to worry about anything. Meg is everything you could want in a day-of coordinator. I couldn't recommend her more!!

If there were any problems throughout the wedding, I heard nothing about them! Meg did such a great job taking care of everything behind the scenes. I couldn’t imagine our wedding going any more perfectly. Thank you Meg for coordinating the best night of our lives so flawlessly!

We hired Meg as our month and day of planner, which let me add, having that as an option was amazing, usually it's all or nothing, or just the day of. Knowing how hectic the month before our wedding would be, it was simply perfect. I planned mostly everything up until the month before, and then Meg took over, and when I say took over, she was amazing! Meg helped us organize our linen orders, corresponded with ALL of our vendors and had such an amazing relationship with everyone, which helps so much (her reputation is already outstanding). The day of our wedding, I simply can't even put into words the work she did and completed. Throughout the entire process, timelines were completed and followed, she listened to what we truly wanted and her responsiveness through my confusion of everything at times was so flawless, she was kind and understanding and bent over backwards to cater to our needs. Meg put all of our decor and signs out without much direction, and it was just beautiful with how everything turned out. During the cocktail hour, she made sure drinks were in our hand and appetizers were set aside for us! Everything from setting up to taking all of the decor and packing it up, organizing the transportation of it and making sure we had the things that matter the most. Simply put, she made our day a dream come true. I cannot tell you how easy and enjoyable our day was working with Meg. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any one that is planning their wedding. Superb job, I wish I could have a million weddings all over again with her.

Devon from Meg Henson Events was so wonderful as our day-of coordinator. She did a great job getting to know us before our wedding and did a great job coordinating with all of our vendors. On the day of the wedding, she was so organized and thorough and made the day run smoothly! She went out of her way to give us the perfect wedding.

My daughter and I loved working with Meg as we planned and prepared for her wedding. Meg is a joy to work with. She asked a lot of questions about my daughter’s vision and executed it beautifully on her wedding day. As a mother of the bride, I had no worries at all during the wedding weekend. That meant the world to both my daughter and me. I highly recommend Meg!

Where do I even begin with how INCREDIBLE Meg is. From the first time we spoke on the phone I knew she was the perfect match coordinator for the vision my husband and I wanted for our wedding, she came highly recommended from the venue we chose, Station No2 and she did not disappoint. She has this incredible energy and anytime I had a moment of panic she met me with such a calm vibe which is all I could have every hoped to have in my coordinator. Her and her assistant Devon exceeded our expectations every single step of the way with constant reassuring smiles on their faces. If anything went wrong I never knew a single thing about it; it is no nice to be able to hand over any wedding stress and I knew Meg and her team would handle it flawlessly keeping our vision for the day in mind. From turning Station No2 into the venue of our dreams to following every changed decision along the way and handling all communication with vendors making sure the timing of the day went off without a glitch. I highly recommend Meg over and over again. I could have never made it through my day without her.

Meg was excellent during our wedding in October. Her and her team were organized and did an amazing job putting everything together and helping us plan.

My mission with my wedding was that I didn't want to work it, I wanted to just show up and enjoy myself. Meg is the reason I was able to do that. Who would have thought to add trash cans to the rental package? Not me, but Meg knew! Meg made everything easier and stress free. She has an attention to detail and really knows what to do in every situation where I wasn't sure. Totally totally worth every penny.

Meg is the best!! She knows all the best places and has the best ideas. She took all my ideas and made them a reality.

Meg was amazing when it came to planning our wedding (all 3 times) through a pandemic. She went above and beyond to work with us and our vendors helping us get everyone rescheduled and stay organized through 2 cancelled events due to the pandemic and then our final wedding celebration. The day of the event her and Devon were there to make sure everything went smoothly and I seriously couldn't have done it without her. She was smiling through the whole process and keeping me and my husband calm and sane as we had to deal with all the changes thrown at us, not once but twice. To say we couldn't have done it without her is an understatement. I would refer her to anyone with 100% confidence that she will help make their day as special as she made ours. Thank you Meg and Devon!

Meg was absolutely incredible to work with. She was beyond professional and such a lovely person to work with. I highly suggest anyone who is planning a wedding to hire Meg.

Our wedding and planning experience would have not been the same without the help of Meg! We cannot thank her enough for all of her advice, encouragement, and hard work to make our big day so special. From the beginning, she was always so responsive and helpful. She was able to make recommendations and help us decide on certain things we may have been unsure of. Planning a wedding can be very stressful, but Meg always remained calm and professional and seemed to have a plan for everything. With all of her experience, she is able to remind you of some of the little details that slip through the cracks of all of the planning stress. She was so helpful in making sure that all of our vendors were confirmed, that we had everything we needed, creating a timeline to help the day run smoothly, and for making our venue look gorgeous. I can truly say that I did not have a worry in the world and was able to fully enjoy the day, as I knew Meg had everything handled. From set up, the rehearsal, to the ceremony, the reception, and even clean up afterwards, Meg made everything run seamlessly. Her and her assistant worked extremely hard the night of our wedding to help my parents pack up and clean our venue, as we needed to have everything out and the rental company was running late, and stayed to help until 1 am when it was all done. My family and I are extremely appreciative of Meg, and all of those who helped along the way, for making our day stress-free, beautiful, and so special. We have received so many compliments and have her to thank for all of the behind the scenes work. We cannot recommend Meg and her services enough - thank you again, Meg, for all of your hard work creating a day we will never forget.

When I first found out that I would need a wedding coordinator for my wedding because the venue required it, I was upset because it would be a lot more money than we planned on spending. Looking back now I can not imagine having it any other way. I could not have handled all of the steps and parts of the wedding like Meg and her assistant Valerie did! They both did an amazing job and made my opinions feel valid and made the wedding go so smoothly. If I ever had a question or concern they jumped so quickly to help me. No one could recommend a better wedding coordinating pair. If you have any doubts about hiring these two, consider them disappeared, you can’t go wrong with these two. Worth every penny.

Meg was amazing!!! We had a destination wedding and she helped with every little thing. She was easy to get a hold of and she replied to all my questions quickly. She made the day before and day of a breeze. I was completely stress free because her!

I cannot say enough positive things about Meg; she was our wedding fairy godmother. She was such a pleasure to work with and choosing her was the best wedding decision we made. She held our hand and guided us through each decision not only as our planner but as our friend. She helped us navigate the hectic process but made is easy to stay on track! She made sure our day was absolutely perfect; and ran around the entire day pulling off our event. She went above and beyond in every way including packing up our gifts/decor and some food for after. Seriously, don’t hesitate, hire her… you WILL NOT regret it.

Meg was nothing short of amazing! I had booked with Meg back in 2019 before I knew that I would have the unique experience of being a “Covid Bride”. Meg was extremely flexible and understanding as we had to postpone our wedding not once but twice due to the pandemic. Not to mention I have a very hectic work schedule that she was able to work with from the start as well. Meg was always available by email or phone and was extremely responsive at all times. As our big day got closer Meg and I communicated a lot. I’m not very creative and Meg helped me tie up loose ends while perfecting our day of timeline. The day of Meg was fantastic, she worked very efficiently and professionally. Meg and her team truly made all of my dreams come true. I would HIGHLY recommend Meg Henson Events to any future brides!

There aren’t enough words to describe how awesome Meg was in coordinating my daughter’s wedding. There was nothing too big or too small that she wasn’t willing to handle/coordinate. Her assistant and staff were awesome as well. Her handling of the day put me at ease and really helped me enjoy the entire event start to finish! For a guaranteed great wedding planner, trust Meg!

Meg was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She helped us navigate all the vendors and made great suggestions/recommendations. She was super responsive throughout the process and incredibly helpful day of. Highly recommend.

Meg did an amazing job for Vanessa and my engagement party. She assisted in set-up, design, aesthetic, break-down, and so much more. It was by her helping hand and team that brought nearly our entire family together to celebrate our special day. Thank you for everything you do Meg, please continue to stand out from the crowd!

Hiring Meg was hands down the best decision I could have made for our wedding on 5/22/21.  We opted for her month-of planning package but it is SO much more than that.  Meg provided us support at every step and her list of preferred vendors that we almost exclusively hired from.  All of her contacts were amazing and we got so many compliments.  The day of our wedding, I got to sit back and relax --I didn't even know what time it was most of the day because I didn't have to.  Meg and team handled all of the set-up, vendor coordination and put out any fires that came up.  We got married at a beach house venue so most of our wedding was DIY with significant vendor coordination but Meg made it look easy.  Through a last minute change of ceremony location and time, Meg helped us coordinate locally and negotiate with our vendors.  Absolutely amazing to work with - cannot recommend her enough.

Meg was all-around outstanding. We initially were considering not having a wedding coordinator, but we are so glad we did. Meg took all of the stress out of planning a wedding by being on top of things before we had to worry about them. She filled in things that we hadn’t thought about, and quickly and subtly problem solved on the fly when minor glitches came up during the wedding. We could not recommend Meg Henson enough to plan your wedding!

Meg has been PHENOMENAL. She thought of absolutely everything and made the whole planning process easy. She helped keep us calm when our first venue got sold because of COVID and the second one cancelled everything for the year. She had all of our vendors there on time, had contact with everyone who needed to help us, and just in general took care of everything-right down to her assistant having safety pins when my bustle broke. She made sure we had food and drinks constantly, that the top tier of our cake was saved, that all decorations got put where I imagined them-I mean really everything!! I can't recommend her any more highly. Thank you so much!

WOW! Very professional lady who was extremely flexible especially during COVID. I'm definitely Type A when it comes to planning something important, however Meg was there to suggest and take care of all the things I didn't even know about! When we decided to cancel all of our original wedding plans, we knew we still needed her to help us see the day through. She communicated with all of the vendors and ironed out the details to make our day perfect! She was punctual to all of our meetings and thoroughly followed through on all tasks that needed to be completed. We're so thankful we found her to help us plan our wedding!

Meg is awesome! Highly recommend! She's fun and easy to work with and was super helpful in getting our COVID off the ground. We had to make a lot of changes and she was there every step of the way!

Meg was beyond everything we could have wanted in a wedding planner! We had a month of coordinator as our budget was smaller but she offers other options as well. She came to help for the rehearsal and coordinated with everyone on what to do for our wedding the next day. She arrived on time to our venue that Sunday and helped set everything up as well as dealing with our unique family, especially during a pandemic. During the wedding, we never missed anything important and the evening flowed beautifully. Meg helped remove the decorations from the reception to my sisters car, made sure the other vendors were taken care of and before leaving for the night asked if we needed anything else. It was an amazing experience and it was nice to be able to have the moment to stand back and look at our family, which would not have been possible without Meg! We can not ever thank you enough, but THANK YOU!

Where to even start with how grateful I am for Meg. We booked Meg a little over a year and a half for our wedding, little did we know that with COVID she would be with us for a little over two! Meg helped us find vendors that we absolutely LOVED, we are still thinking about our wedding and can't pinpoint a single thing that went wrong. That's how you know you had the right planner! Not only the right planner, the best planner. Meg was simply our best decision. She communicates so well and is so down to earth. She is relatable, kind, and so thoughtful. Meg was so organized and helped break down so many questions and concerns I had. When we had to reevaluate because of COVID, she didn't complain once about the many calls and texts it took us to make a decision. For that, I'll forever be thankful. She supported us as much as possible during a really stressful time. She met every obstacle that 2020 threw with confidence, professionalism, and ease. When we decided to postpone and ultimately change venues, she changed everything around so quickly. She found us a new venue; where she hadn't had a wedding yet, and took the challenge head on. All of our vendors were confirmed within days. Her resources and tools that she provides with her planning services help so much for budget, planning, and timeline. I cannot say enough about working with Meg because the amount of work she and her team put in truly left me feeling so thankful. Yes, she did all the great things a planner should do like making sure you eat, gathering family, and orchestrating the day, but more so, as a planner she comforted, she listened, and she truly cared. We wouldn't have been able to have the wedding of our dreams go so perfectly without her and her team. Brides, you will not be disappointed. You will have the best experience. You need Meg, I highly recommend her- she was fantastic!

Meg was very responsive and understanding. My friends were complimenting on how wonderful of a wedding planner she was (because their own experiences were not as great!) I normally like to be in control of everything but Meg took charge the day of and did such an AMAZING job and took care of everything. I did not worry once about anything and she was taking care of it all.
