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!

Meg is the PERFECT Wedding Coordinator! 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!

Annie + Josh

Amazing, simply put. 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. 

Jen + Mike

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!

Courtney + Bobby

Meg was absolutely the best!! Everything down to the last detail was perfect. She made everything so easy. I would recommend her for every event!!

Christina + Jim

I was tentative to hire a coordinator because I was doing so much of the wedding planning on my own, however our venue required a day-of coordinator, so I started looking - well, I am so glad that they required it because hiring Meg turned out to be worth its weight in gold! Her “month-of coordination” package is so much more than just that. We had phone calls/meetings set up several months in advance to keep in touch over the course of our wedding planning process, which we were doing long distance as we live in Maryland. She was always the epitome of calm and collected during those phone calls, even when we were discussing stressful issues like vendors not returning our calls or having to postpone the wedding entirely (this happened twice due to COVID and Meg stuck with us through it all!). She was so knowledgeable about the wedding business in general and specifically about the flow and order in which things needed to happen on the day of the wedding. We totally followed her lead and would have been lost without her amazing guidance throughout the process. She was always open to answering any questions or even just being a sounding board for ideas we had. The month of the wedding, she took complete charge of coordinating all of our vendors, including tent set up, table/chairs/furniture rentals, lighting installation, catering, drinks/alcohol, and so much more. She sent a schedule out to each vendor involved and made sure that everyone had all of the information they needed. She went above and beyond what was “in our contract” and we’re forever grateful for all of the help she provided in those stressful weeks leading up to our big day. Fast forward to the weekend of the wedding - not only did her team lead us through the rehearsal the day before, but on the day of the wedding, she coordinated the entire set up of our ceremony and reception (which was NOT easy - we had tubs and tubs of decor!) - and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the day. She worked non-stop from 9am until 10pm that evening when our reception was over. She never showed one sign of stress or worry, and she kept everything right on time and executed our vision for the reception tent perfectly. She was so on top of everything that my husband and I were able to sit back, relax and really enjoy the company of our wedding guests. I 150% recommend hiring at least a month-of coordinator and if you want the best of the best - hire Meg Henson Events! You will not regret it, not for one second. My husband and I agree that out of all the $$ we spent on our wedding, hiring Meg was the money best spent!

Shaina + Ernie

Meg was FANTASTIC to work with! She was responsive, professional, and kind the during the entire wedding planning process. She thought of ALL the small things we never would have and provided organized planning tools to keep us updated throughout the last eight months. She even hired somebody last minute when we had an issue with chairs being set up on the beach! We were so, so happy to be referred to her and feel so grateful for the services that Meg and her team provided. Memi and Lilly- we cannot say enough about their professional, fun, and loving support that they offered on our wedding day. All of our guests and other vendors complimented us on Meg’s team and their ability to patiently deal with all the slip ups that inevitably occur on a wedding day. They did every. single. thing. with a huge and kind smile on their faces. They were such a perfect team and added so much to the loving energy that surrounded us on our perfect day this past weekend. My husband and I cannot recommend them more!

Fleming + Mike

Thank God for Meg! Our wedding was scheduled for 4/4, and we had already finalized all the details when we realized we would have to reschedule. We were very upset and stressed about the prospect, but once we talked to Meg she was like- no problemo, easy peasy and within 24 hours she had rebooked all our vendors! She was incredible to work with, so easy-going and had all her bases covered every time we spoke. The wedding day went off without a hitch- every detail was perfect and I felt totally taken care of. If you want a stress-free wedding planning process and to have not a care in the world on the day of your wedding, definitely hire Meg.

Aislinn + Joey

Meg did it! She is highly experienced and organized! My "COVID" wedding was rescheduled about 5 days before the original date! Meg helped me through out the whole process! This was a wedding 3 hours away from where either of us lived and she meet me at the venue and vendors multiple times. We had phone, facetime, and face to face meetings. She was very supportive and cooperative, since her and I lived 2 hours away from each other. We were in constant communication about everything. 100% I would hire her again! She literally made this whole experience 10x easier for me. She was never pushy or over powering. I am a type "A" personality and I never got frustrated with her or anything. Day of the wedding she took charge and made sure everything was going according to plan! Forever grateful to have had her on my special day!

Erin + Josh

Meg was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very organized but very laid back. She never showed any stress which was exactly what I needed to help keep me calm! I loved working with her. She did everything I asked and went above and beyond! I would recommend her to anyone needing a wedding planner! She did the month of and day of coordinating for me! :) Thanks again Meg! You were such a blessing to work with! You made everything absolutely perfect on our perfect wedding day!

Mackenzie + Cory

I would highly recommend Meg Henson as a wedding planner. She was always on time, always organized, and most importantly made my life so much easier! The technology she utilized made things so much better. The day of the wedding, I had no worries because I knew she was there running things smoothly. My hubby and I would 100% recommend.

Camber + Drew

Meg was the most wonderful planner. She made my wedding day a breeze so that my family and I could truly sit back and enjoy the day. I thought planning a wedding from out of state would be challenging, but Meg assisted me through the entire process. She went out of her way to ensure I had the wedding I envisioned. She coordinated with the best vendors and was conscientious of our budget. She was a huge help with the rehearsal and was there from start to finish on the day of the wedding! Our wedding day would not have been the same without her.

Shannon + Chris

Meg Henson was so great to work with during the month of our wedding and was a lifesaver the day of. I am so thankful we hired her. She was so communicative leading up to the event, and remained cool, calm and collected all day. I got compliments on how smoothly our event ran. I truly don’t know what we would have done without her help. She managed a big Greek wedding of almost 200 plated meals with ease. I highly recommend!!

Caroline + Nick

Best decision we made! Meg was quite simply the best decision we made during our wedding planning process! Due to COVID-19, we had to change our July 11th wedding from a restaurant in Chicago, IL to my in-law’s house in Shallotte, NC. We booked Meg less than two months before our wedding date. With her help, knowledge, and connections, we had the most amazing and seamless day.

Throughout my two months working with Meg, we had multiple touch points via phone, email, FaceTime, and text messaging (since I am not local). She is extremely responsive, organized, and on the ball! I also really appreciated how budget-cautious she was.

On the morning of my wedding day, I looked out the window and saw Meg standing on a ladder with a power drill, in 95 degree weather, putting together our ceremony arbor with a smile on her face. That is who Meg is-- a go-getter who will go the distance in making your day absolutely perfect!

Tewana + Ervin

To say Meg was amazing, would be an understatement. Due to COVID restrictions, we changed our wedding reception three times, in 3 weeks. We even had to find a new officiant 48 hrs before our wedding and through it all, I still had a wedding better than anything I could have dreamed or imagined. Meg was not only positive through all the curve balls, but professional. As an African American/ Caribbean couple we had some concerns about cultural differences, but Meg was able to navigate not only COVID, but our cultural needs for our wedding events. Our family and friends absolutely LOVED her!!! Even if your venue has a planner, you still need Meg. She is the true definition of a wedding planner :)

Jessica + Matt

We contacted Meg for 'Month Of' planning services, as we were planning on having a relatively straight-forward wedding and had no problems with booking vendors on our own - we just wanted someone there to coordinate those vendors, make sure my bride and I were on schedule, and to make sure the event itself ran smoothly.

I can't express how impressed and satisfied we were throughout the whole process. She was a great person to just talk with, very receptive, did a wonderful job of making our concepts a reality, and handled any changes we made along the way like it was nothing! I was doubly impressed that she seemed to effortlessly handle significant adjustments that were made due to Covid-19 and our state's restrictions and guidelines in addition to the inevitable 'last-minute changes' that go on at almost every wedding.

She worked well with all of our vendors and made sure everything was as it should be. We both really felt like she cared about our event, and to some degree, us, and wanted to make things great not just because it was her job, but because she wanted our special day to be as wonderful as possible.

Both my wife and I are hard-pressed to find *anything* that she could have done better. Going in, we were told by a ton of people how stressful weddings can be, but Meg definitely helped to eliminate almost all of it for us so that we could really enjoy our special day.

I most certainly recommend her to anyone looking to get married in the area.

Kim + Zach

If you are planning an event you NEED Meg!! We used Meg to plan our wedding at Carolina Beach in September 2019. She was amazing! Super professional and very timely when responding to emails! I highly recommend going with the Full Service Wedding Planning. She literally does everything from planning appointments with vendors, being the point of contact for all vendors, making sure all deadlines are met, budgets are in line, setting up your event (Ceremony and Reception), coordinating your event and so so much more! I can not recommend her enough! She’s amazing and made wedding planning fun instead of stressful!

Jaclyn + Adam

Meg was wonderful to work with!! From the start, she was very accommodating to all my requests and questions! The month of the wedding she was very detailed with presenting our timeline, and we were at ease to have her overseeing everything during the weekend and day of the wedding! Would highly recommend her :)

Dana + Kyle

Most people I’ve spoken to talk about the stress and craziness of planning a wedding. My experience was made completely different thanks to Meg. Because of her, I got to have my dream wedding without any snags or hitches and wander carefree, barefoot, and happy at my home away from home. Meg is kind, thoughtful, detailed, and extremely easy to communicate with. I have so enjoyed my time with her over the past year planning our wedding. Our family joke is that we will forever be saying “thank god for meg”. Thank you for everything my dear! 

Elizabeth + Kevin

Meg was the best wedding decision we made!! She literally did everything we asked for and everything we never would have thought of. She makes the whole planning process SO EASY! Our wedding day was so perfect and we didn’t have to do anything! I could not recommend Meg Henson Events enough!

Katherine + Logan

Meg was an amazing point of contact throughout my entire planning process. She guided me to hire the most amazing vendors AND they were within my price range. She has a calming spirit and incredibly chill attitude. Katie, her partner/assistant/confidant, facilitated our actual wedding day and was absolutely amazing to work with as well. She was on top of everything and also another great person to be around in our special day. Everything ran incredibly smoothly and I have them to thank! I am normally a perfectionist who likes to do things myself. However, with Meg and Katie, I had complete trust in them that they would pull through and they absolutely did. I honestly can’t say enough glowing things about our experience with them!

Emily + Trent

We hired Meg because we needed someone to help guide us through the wedding planning process and we are so glad we did! Meg helped to make the planning process so easy and got us the best vendors to work with! Meg was so accommodating to meet with us throughout our planning process after work so we could both attend. I still wanted to do some of the detail things myself, like put together the invitations, but Meg helped to make sure I was on track. She was so laid back and easy to work with that I never was stressed out. Our wedding day ended up being stress-free and perfect with Meg handling all of the behind the scenes things! If we had to do it all over again, we would choose to work with Meg without hesitation!!!!!

Megan + Kyle

Meg is extremely organized, kind and genuinely great at wedding coordination. I can honestly say I didn't worry at all about any details the day of the wedding as I left everything up to Meg and she rocked it. I don't know if any issues arose the course of the day because Meg was on top of it all. I would absolutely recommend her as a coordinator for any couple getting married around Wilmington, NC!

Alejandra + Eliel

Meg was super helpful in getting us organized in the year leading up to our wedding. We had a lot going on with buying and renovating our home so if it wouldn't have been for her keeping us on track, so many details would have fallen through the cracks. She made sure the day was splendid and our families didn't have to worry too much about any details so they could fully enjoy the day. She is also super sweet and was just a joy to be around! We are going to miss meeting up with her at Port City Java!

Maddy + Stephen

Meg is the sweetest most organized wedding planner! Any idea I had she made it happen. Any concern I had she eased my worries and kept me calm. She was super communicative and creative and really helped me make this wedding day the best day of my life! She knows all the best vendors in town and helped so much in that department. She knew my style and the vibe I wanted for the day and was really great at being my right hand. Meg was the key component to my wedding being perfect and going off without a single problem. Not one! She was absolutely amazing. She is the reason this wedding didn’t stress me out after over a year of planning. If you’re considering getting a wedding planner get Meg. You’re crazy not to. She’s a wedding fairy God mother.

Hannah + Mason

Meg and Memi did an excellent job coordinating our wedding. They dealt with setup during triathlon traffic and a rainy ceremony on Wrightsville Beach but smiled through it and kept me stress free throughout the day. During our planning meetings, Meg listened closely to our needs and wants and created a timeline that allowed us to have the day we wanted. Our other vendors even complimented the timeline and how well it all flowed. Money extremely well spent and genuinely lovely people to have around on your wedding day :)

Kelly + Walker

Meg did an amazing job with my wedding! She made everything so easy which was exactly what we wanted!

Taylor + Josh

We chose Meg as a day-of-coordinator for our wedding and she was phenomenal to work with! She knew the questions to ask that we never thought of, took care of everything we asked, answered all of our millions of questions, and made our wedding flow seamlessly. All of the worry of scheduling and making sure our vendors did everything we asked was off of our shoulders. She anticipated everything that could happen and came prepared with any and all extras for the day of. We loved working with Meg and would choose her again without question!

Megan + TJ

Meg and her team were SO fantastic to work with! She made planning my wedding easy and fun, and ensured that I had everything I needed for the big day. She was great to work with and had so much knowledge around different vendors, wedding etiquette, and budgeting. 10/10 would recommend :)

Kelly + Walker

Meg did an amazing job with my wedding! She made everything so easy which was exactly what we wanted!

Cecilia + Josh

Meg made our destination wedding the best day of our lives! She is worth every penny :) I would highly recommend her to any couple getting married in the Wilmington, NC area!

Savannah + Austin

Meg was so easy to work with and extremely responsive from the very beginning. She has many years of experience in the wedding industry, which is apparent in her attention to detail. You can tell she is passionate about what she does, but she’s also laid back and exactly what I needed on my wedding day. She worked extremely well with my other vendors and even recommended a few of them to me. I’d recommend Meg for any upcoming event.

Kim + Zach

The best in the business!!! Meg is truly an amazing planner! She is very organized and very timely getting back to all your questions! I would recommend the full service package to everyone! She not only plans you’re event, but also sets it up, decorates and cleans up!

Megan + Tyler

Meg was a pleasure to work with and made our wedding day stress free by setting up all of the decorations and making sure everything flowed base on the timeline she created for us. She was very flexible in scheduling meetings with us and handling last minute changes before the wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to coordinate our special day! I would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Meg!

Rebecca + Clark

Meg Henson was originally recommended to us from the director of The Brooklyn Arts Center, Rich Leder. Meg did an absolutely incredible job executing every aspect of our wedding ceremony and reception. She made herself available anytime I had questions, gave awesome vendor suggestions, and even went the extra mile to have strand lights left up from a wedding scheduled the night before ours!! At the beginning of the planning process I had no idea how much help I actually needed with planning/coordinating and looking back there’s no way I could have done it without her!! Highly recommend!!!

Tiffany + Josh

Our venue required a day of person, if it hadn't been for that we likely would not have hired anyone for this. That being said, it would have been a mistake not to. Meg was easily the best money that we spent for our wedding. Meg and her team made our day go soo much smoother. She made it so that we didn't have to worry about all the tiny details on the day and all we had to do was show up. She was also our savior! The day before our wedding the hair person flaked, leaving us to find a hair person on the busiest wedding weekend, and graduation weekend. Meg used her connections to find us someone who was available, and to be honest probably much better than the person we were going to go with otherwise. She is our hero.

Kristin + Drew

Meg was amazing and helped create the most memorable weekend!! Would highly recommend!
