Happy to continue the trend of a five star endorsement for Meg and LVR Events! Meg was a calming sounding board and a true professional in every part of our wedding planning process. Her planning documents and coaching kept us focused and on timeline leading up to the event and it was so incredible to truly enjoy our day together knowing Meg was on top of everything in the background. Despite having a wealth of experience and contacts, Meg never pushed vendors or a standardized process but instead plugged into the priorities we had as a couple and made our dreams a reality the day of the event. Meg is everything you could ask for in a wedding planner and coordinator. If you’re looking for an encouraging, professional and calming coach to guide you through what can be an otherwise stressful event, look no further.

Meg Hotchkiss was great. I was planning a New York wedding from my home in California. There might have been challenges but instead everything was seamless because we were working with Meg.

First of all she is incredibly organized! She has all kinds of wedding experience and gave us lots of valuable advice throughout the process. One of the things we especially appreciated was that she wasn't just going to give us a "cookie cutter" wedding. She is a great listener and was able to tailor everything to our particular vision.

On the day of the wedding she seemed to be everywhere at once. Every time I might have needed her I would look around and there she was ready to help! In many cases she anticipated what I was going to ask for.

Meg is a real professional! You will not be disappointed if you use her!

We had the wedding of our dreams and it could not have been what it was without the incredible support of Meg and LVR Events.

Meg’s experience in wedding business shows—she will think of things you’d never have thought of well in advance and plan accordingly, and will know just what to do if anything surprising comes up last minute. I thought she was kidding when she said she has a car trunk full of EVERYTHING one might need for a wedding (rocks to hold down place cards on a windy day, for example), but when the easel we’d ordered to display our ketubah couldn’t be set up properly, Meg came to the rescue with an “extra” easel from her car. Meg is even a legal wedding officiant, just in case your officiant doesn’t show up!

Planning felt so organized and seamless with Meg—communication over phone, text, and email was amazing. She was always available, quick to reply, and had answers for everything—from recommending excellent vendors (we found our phenomenal caterer Purslane from her when we were about ready to give up!), to navigating family dynamics, to recommending the most comfortable and stylish brands for bridal footwear, to the usual logistics of planning the day and month leading up– everything! Her spreadsheets and checklists were indispensable. She also does a venue walk-through—even at our venue 2 ½ hours outside NYC—to get a thorough knowledge of the site.

After interviewing other wedding planners who seemed to offer less (and to care far less about their clients) for a lot more money, I can tell you that Meg is one of the most reasonably priced planners. She even offers a range of services so that if full or partial planning isn’t in your budget, you can simply set up hourly consultations or other smaller forms of planning.

To top it off, Meg is the most kindhearted, non-judgmental, and caring person. During my inevitable moments of stress, she calmed me down. I felt like she was by my side the whole way and I could always count on her.

We booked Meg for partial planning, are are so glad we did! Meg is a girl boss whose calm yet unwavering approach to everything made our lives that much more easier and less stressful. She is extremely organized, communicative, proactive and hard-working--everything you need and want in a wedding planner! She was always available to chat and willing to meet in person frequently. I've heard nightmare stories from friends about their wedding planning and how stressful it was, but I can't say I experienced any of that. We were so grateful to have Meg and her team there with us every step of the way, especially on the day of our wedding. It was amazing to not have to worry about anything the day of--Meg handled everything like a pro from the set-up to how to properly walk down the aisle to having everything packaged up perfectly post-wedding for us to pick up. She was not only your wedding planner, but your friend, your therapist, voice of reason and more. She was a dream to work with, I miss talking with her almost every day!!!!!

Meg is fabulous. We booked Meg for partial planning for our recent wedding. She's a planner, stage manager, and general wedding therapist who helped talk us through the whole process and walk us through decision points with her honest opinion, but never any pressure or expectation. She listened closely to what we wanted (and didn't). As someone who didn't have a strong vision of what she wanted, was planning long distance, and was busy with non-wedding life events, I couldn't have pulled it off without Meg. One of the number one best things she did for us was recommend an incredible array of other NY vendors who all worked together seamlessly and fit our vibe, budget, and priorities. We had a great time on our wedding day and so did our guests - because Meg had the all details under control. The number one recommendation I now have for friends getting married is to invest in a wedding coordinator, and Meg is a fantastic choice.

Don't decide. Just book Meg! Meg was my fairy godmother. We would not have been able to pull of our wedding without her. She was amazing to work with. She dealt with our annoyingly last minute questions and our need to always meet after work. If I could somehow integrate Meg into my everyday life-planning, I would. Thank you Meg!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Meg and her team. We booked her almost a year in advance of our wedding for "month of coordination" but, even in the many months that followed the month of our wedding, she was incredible-- emailing us back and forth, meeting with us in person to discuss our vision for the day, recommending vendors, and just being a source of calm and sanity in the chaos that can sometimes accompany the wedding-planning process. The weeks prior to our wedding, Meg was a total blessing-- in constant email contact, reviewing all of our contracts, organizing EVERYTHING with our vendors, attending a bunch of pre-wedding meetings, and providing us with the most precise wedding timeline I've ever seen. Throughout the entire process (including an onslaught of questions from me and my mom in advance of the day), she was warm, lovely, and precise to a T. Also her husband is an incredible graphic designer who made our invitations/wedding programs/menus and did a beyond phenomenal job (at a discount). Again, I cannot say enough good things about Meg. She made our wedding better than we had ever dreamed possible and made the wedding day completely stress-free. I will wholeheartedly recommend her to every engaged couple I know.

Meg, oh sweet wonderful Meg. Meg was fantastic, organized, thoughtful, and deeply important to the success of our wedding day. Meg offers packages of varying levels of involvement, which was great for our budget. We did a partial planning package, which meant she gave us guidance from the beginning on various vendors, and then a few months before the wedding began to take over the organization responsibilities and all of the day-of coordination. She has a lot of great resources, from her budget sheets to time-tables, that really helped guide us to smart decisions. She understood what we were looking for and delivered 100% of what we wanted. If you are having a wedding with multiple vendors, and a large number of guests, then absolutely get a planner. I didn't have to worry about how anything was going on with set up on my wedding day, which left me time to enjoy being with my friends and family, and also left my friends and family to enjoy not setting things up! Meg was fantastic, I highly recommend her!

As we approach our one year wedding anniversary, I've been doing a lot of reflecting on the people who made it possible (besides my husband of course!). Meg and La Vie en Rose Events were undoubtedly godsends and frankly I'm not sure how we would have pulled it off without Meg's steady hand, unwavering dedication, and ability to manage stressful situations seamlessly. We had a 3 day multi-cultural celebration that involved upwards of 30 vendors. Meg helped us in so many ways, from recommending vendors within our price range to managing them on the ground before and during the celebrations. Honestly, we saved so much money by using the incredible vendors she had worked with in the past, and I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have been able to find the level of specialization and quality we needed at those price points. When vendors straight up cancelled the day before our bharat, she was there to fill the gap and immediately find an incredible replacement. I still have images of her transcribing my vows into my ceremony book for me when I had no more time, setting out our place settings, and talking me off a cliff when my hair stylist didn't show up. It's rare that someone be so adept at managing so many difficult situations and that you can put all of this trust into this professional on the most important days of your lives. Leading up to the wedding in the months before, I was so happy to always have her there to give me her honest and practical opinions and to validate our wishes and desires for our wedding celebration. Where a lot of people may have given up on an idea because it was too difficult to execute, Meg never shied away and figured out how to create something amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend her and her team, and wish everyone the best in their wedding planning and coordination journeys!

We hired Meg for day-of (which is really month-of) coordinating. She was incredibly helpful in contract review, vendor recommendation, vendor coordination, and answering "would this be totally insane" questions. On the day of, she was ready with everything from a pin for a boutonniere to a voice of reason when my mother had a screaming meltdown just before the ceremony began. If anything went wrong for the rest of the day, we didn't find out about it! If you're looking for a calm, friendly, experienced DOC, Meg is your woman.
