About

meghan loves to use individual and distinct items for her pieces and branding. she considers each event and creation a piece of art. using a chic modern approach, a variety of materials and unique styles, the pieces of art hoc creates do not look like they came from the masses or your girlfriend getting married.

the love for event branding and designing specific styles has made hoc events known for the special moments. items like exquisite installations, seating chart walls, custom monogram walls, modern menus and unique signage featuring at times the latest in music lyrics. hoc is a company on a steady rise, setting a new tone in the industry itself.

couldn't love hoc any more than i do

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.

The dream team to create the wedding of your dreams

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 and awe I have for Meghan and the HOC team. My (now) husband and I booked an open venue because of the location and 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 and design a space to create the wedding of our dreams. Through word of mouth (and good old instagram) we came across HOC and immediately knew this was the team we wanted. Somehow, the wedding Gods were looking upon us and 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, and everything in between we discussed and 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 and ability to accommodate our wants and needs, while still being conscious of an ever changing budget, is a testament to their care, attention to detail, creativity, and passion to make every event perfect.

For our wedding, HOC and their team were unable to get access to our venue until the day of our wedding because there had been a wedding there the evening before. Most people would not have been able to accomplish a fraction of the transformation they did in a mere few hours and yet by the time guests were arriving our space had been completely transformed. Six months later and I still am speechless. I wish we had invited people to see the space before the wedding so they could truly appreciate everything Meghan and the HOC team did. Custom drapery and greenery were hung, intricate florals were arranged, an entire lounge area was built, even a kid space enjoyed by those young and old appeared seemingly out of nowhere! And yet amongst all of these huge moments were small details that made it clear this was OUR wedding to celebrate OUR day and OUR relationship.

When it comes to planning a wedding and budget, yes, HOC is definitely not for the those trying to stretch every single dollar. However, you get what you paid for and then some. Design aside, Meghan referred us to multiple vendors, who, truth be told, and 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 and respected in the industry is another perk of working with HOC. Meghan and her team also provided us with our day of support. Multiple people commented on how calm I was day of and it was all because Meghan and 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 (and our dogs) well fed and hydrated. It was truly the greatest gift to be able to have the freedom to actually enjoy our wedding.

Weddings have changed and timelines are totally different given the past 2 years and how busy vendors are, but one thing you can depend on is that HOC gets the job done on time and beyond your expectations. Thank you SO much to Meghan and everyone at House of Catherine. It was our absolute pleasure and honor to have been able to celebrate our special day with you all by our side, supporting us every step of the way!!

So easy to work with!

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.

A golden New Year’s Eve

Meghan and the HOC team are truly gifted in 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. Megan really listened to what my daughter and I envisioned and turned our wish list into reality.

My Fairytale Wedding With HOC!

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!

Next Level Design

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.

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

Everyday detail was perfect. From save the dates, bridal shower brunch invites, flawless wedding invitations, beautiful programs for church, wedding signage - perfection. You told the story of Tom and I through the map of how we met (my favorite & hanging in our house), you show cased our style (modern, clean w/ touches of the city)- everything was unique! Every guest loved the "tissue for happy tears" at the back of the mass program and raved how amazing our invites were.

Working with you was easy, enjoyable, fun. Now I just need to have a baby to being the new journey with you and your insane talent!
