If you need help planning your wedding, look no further than Fox & Fern! My husband and I got married at Aurora Cellars on 8-1-2020. We hired the dream team of Meaghan (owner and lead planner), Kelsey and Kendal of Fox & Fern to be our day of wedding coordinators. Honestly, besides our venue, Fox & Fern was our other most impressive and favorite wedding vendor. Meaghan and her team are so amazing, professional and thoughtful. Their attention to detail and effort they put into making our wedding uniquely ours was truly amazing. After our very first phone call with Meaghan almost two years ago, we knew we were in good hands and that we had found a truly exceptional team to help us plan our wedding. Meaghan is very knowledgeable, experienced, and has developed great working relationships with all the other vendors in the area. We also greatly appreciated that Meaghan is the queen of organization! She sent us 5 Google Docs to help us organize all our wedding planning info: 1) vendor contact sheet, 2) vendor payment and gratuity sheet, 3) names of the bridal party and immediate family sheet, 4) details/decor sheet and, 5) a timeline sheet. We had two Zoom meetings with Meaghan before our wedding to go over the Google Doc planning sheets together, make sure we had everything we needed and answer any questions we had. Meaghan also helped us design the seating chart for our ceremony site and reception tent. Even though there were many times this year that we thought we would not be able to have our wedding during this COVID pandemic, Meaghan helped us stay optimistic, never gave up on our wedding and was willing to work with us every step of the way. We are so thankful to her for helping us make it happen!

Once Meaghan and her team had all our wedding planning info, they took over from there and we didn't have to worry or think about a thing and just enjoy our day! Meaghan ran our entire rehearsal the night before the wedding. This helped so much! Everyone in the bridal party knew what they had to do so that the ceremony ran smoothly. The day of our wedding, Meaghan and her team went above and beyond for us. They picked up ice for the kegs, balloons for the reception tent and breakfast for the bridal party in Traverse City before arriving at the venue by 9am. Meaghan and her team did all the set up and tear down of our wedding decor. They were great at staying in the background but also making sure we stuck to our timeline the entire day.

The investment we made in hiring Fox & Fern as our day of wedding coordinator was so worth it! Thanks to Meaghan, Kendal and Kelsey, we got to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day with our friends and family without having to worry about anything else. Fox & Fern took care of everything we needed and more and we couldn't have imagined planning our wedding without them!

Meaghan and the Fox & Fern team are the BEST. Hands down, it was the best decision we made to hire Meaghan as our wedding planner. We were supposed to get married in June, had to postpone to September and then cancel our large wedding a re-plan a much smaller one due to COVID. Meaghan was there every step of the way and helped us keep the vision for our day, even though it wasn't what we originally planned. Everything turned out beautifully and it matched exactly what I pictured in my head for flowers, decorations, etc. Meaghan was incredibly helpful during the planning process and also for the wedding weekend. We didn't have to worry about anything for set-up, clean-up, rehearsal, etc and Meaghan kept us so organized in prepping for our weekend. The Fox & Fern team is quick to respond, incredibly organized and most importantly, they are all just really kind people. We loved working with them and can't recommend them enough!

Working with Meaghan was a true pleasure! Throughout our wedding planning experience, she made the entire process very streamlined and as stress free as could be hoped for. We actually planned our wedding while traveling abroad, but it totally manageable with her and her team. Meaghan provided recommendations for incredible vendors, all of which we were extremely pleased with and that greatly reduced our time spent sorting through countless options in the area. We found after an initial few phone calls that she quickly zeroed in on our style and desires and provided options for us to choose from to align with this design vision. She was incredibly responsive, always getting back to our emails or phone calls within 24 hours, if not minutes. We planned an entire weekend of celebrations, and Meaghan and her team executed our plans so that we could enjoy and be in the moment – we never felt we had to do anything or worry about anything other than celebrating. If you are considering having a wedding in Northern Michigan, we couldn’t recommend Meaghan and her team more highly!
