Our staff has nearly 40 years combined experience in venue management, bridal, catering, baking, bartending, theatre, and some planners have even officiated weddings! We have also had the honor of planning and coordinating Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Hindu, Indian, Greek Orthodox, Sikh as well as Non-Denominational ceremonies across North Carolina and Virginia. We lead with curiosity and kindness, working to establish relationships built on trust. We know you are investing a great deal of time and financial resources into making your day unforgettable.

Obsessed with Magnolia Collective!!

How do I put into words how thankful I am for the Magnolia Collective team! We worked with Meagan at the beginning of the process and from the first phone call, she had an exuberance and passion for weddings that drew us to this group. As a couple planning a wedding in NC from out of state, the guidance Meagan provided was invaluable. She made time to chat with us over Zoom and went to floral and rental meetings, talking us through this whole process that was so new to us. She was so kind, warm, communicative, and patient through all of the questions we asked. Our day of team, Bailey and Emily, were brought on board months before our actual wedding to guide us through final details, and the way they interacted with our other vendors and made everything flow so seamlessly was truly the most impressive thing! We didn't have to worry about a thing in the days leading up to the wedding! Our guests mentioned that everything went off without a hitch and the timing of each part of the wedding was perfect!

Highly recommend

The entire Magnolia Collective team was absolutely phenomenal! Being an out-of-town couple, we worked with Meagan, Lauren and Samantha throughout the planning process. We selected the wedding coordination package with some a-la-carte services and they completely went above and beyond. Absolutely worth every penny (and more).

Their help was so valuable on anything and everything including helping us with finding vendors, signage, delivery of items and overall coordinating our big day from the moment we signed with them. Any moment I felt stressed I reached out and they instantly helped alleviate or talked me off the ledge!

The day itself was perfect, I felt zero stress knowing I was in good hands. Everything went off without a hitch due to their professionalism and superior service. Highly recommend!!

A Wedding Necessity

We worked with Lauren and she went above and beyond in making our day incredible. From the moment I first contacted her, she was available to answer my questions and help keep my planning on track. The day of the wedding, she worked behind the scenes to seamlessly pull everything together and make the day beautiful. Had she not been there, I know I would have been so much more stressed out, and my mom would not have been able to sit back and enjoy the day the way she did. Magnolia Collective is worth every Penny and so much more, they make your day so much more magical!

A Perfect Experience

The team at Magnolia Collective is who you want at your side for your wedding day! We worked with Meagan, Lauren, and Abby and the experience could not have been more seamless. My husband and I were looking for a calm and confident planner who is LGBQTIA+ friendly, and found that in Magnolia Collective.

We had some reservations about the utility of a planner for our wedding, as we felt it to be a small and straightforward affair, however we were quickly disabused of this notion the second Meagan and her team stepped in. Their extensive network of industry relationships made coordinating with vendors a breeze! More importantly, Meagan handled every one of our questions and concerns with grace, good humor, and a warm frankness that made us feel cared for and secure in her ability to lead the day.

If there was an issue on the day of, we never knew it. I would recommend anyone trust the team at Magnolia Collective to take care of the logistics so you can focus on letting go and being present for your wedding day – you won’t regret it!

Exceptional organization, quick responses, and personalized service made our wedding day seamless and stress-free.

My husband and I got married in March of 2023, and we used Magnolia Collective’s full-service package for our wedding at The Maxwell in Raleigh. From the very beginning, Megan and Lauren impressed us with their quick responses to our questions and their exceptional organizational skills, both in the lead-up to our wedding and on the big day itself.

The initial call with Megan's team allowed us to determine if we were a good fit for each other. Megan walked us through the company, the process, and the available packages in detail. We were seeking a planner who would be totally hands-on so we could be hands-off, and Magnolia Collective was perfect for that role.

Megan and Lauren were always quick to respond to our calls and emails, helping us build an incredible team of vendors for our wedding. The vendors they recommended were top-notch and aligned perfectly with our vision. Megan even attended our rental appointment and picked out everything we needed based on our likes and dislikes from our style boards. This level of personalized service was exceptional and ensured that every detail matched our vision perfectly.

Best of all, Megan’s team organized and coordinated our wedding so seamlessly that any minor issues went completely unnoticed. We trusted Megan’s team with every aspect of our wedding, providing them with our preferences, and they brought our vision to life beautifully. Their list of trusted vendors and strong reputation with them made the entire process stress-free.

A special shout-out to Lauren, who was fabulous! She assisted with the set-up on the day of the wedding and checked in on me regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. She was always pleasant to email and speak with, adding a personal touch that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Overall, we couldn't have been happier with Magnolia Collective. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making our wedding day perfect were truly outstanding. We highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding planner who will take care of everything and allow you to enjoy your special day without any worries.

Thank you, Magnolia Collective, for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience!

Want a stress free day? Hire Meagan and her crew!

I am a planner by heart. I love my spreadsheets, powerpoints, and notebooks to keep me organized. At the beginning of the planning process, I wanted control and oversight over every detail throughout the planning process. But what I did not want to do, was have to lift a single finger on my wedding day. I wanted a day of coordinator and team that I could put my full confidence and trust to pull off the vision I spent over a year analyzing and curating. That's were Meagan and Abby came in. In the beginning of the planning, my husband and I were overwhelmed with options and price points all over the board. We wanted a day of coordinator, but needed a little bit of TLC throughout the process to make sure we were making the right choices. I didn't mind doing all the leg work, but wanted the expertise of professionals in the business! Meagan was able to give us guidance about what average prices were for the market, what vendors she'd worked with that she recommended, and then let us do the rest of the work. It was the perfect balance for someone who felt organized and independent, but wanted a little reassurance! She was so friendly and kind, and instantly made my husband and I feel like we were planning our wedding with a friend! She came with us to our rental meeting, helping us navigate the nearly endless number of linen and plates available! She was so flexible with our timing and worked with our appointments (we had to drive from the DC Metro area to Charlottesville for our wedding - so we had to be very strategic about our planning visits). The day of, Meagan and Abby took care of everything - including last minute changes to floor plans and making sure all the decor was set up correctly. But most of all, they kept our bridal party of 14 in line with grace and humor. It's a fine line with keeping everyone happy and on the right track. They checked in to make sure we were fed and drinking water - something I greatly appreciated! They took care of so many small details that we didn't even think of, and were there to the bitter end - making sure everyone got on the bus safely and all the decor was broken down. I truly cannot thank them enough for making our day so easy. As a bonus, they were so receptive and welcoming to some of our non-traditional elements to the day as well as our LGBTQ+ members of our party and our day. It wasn't even a question or concern. When we asked for recommendations of vendors that fit our values, she provided perfect recommendations that matched our budget, our vibe, and our wishes! Whether you want full service planning, or hands-off, day of coordination like we wanted, Meagan and her team are the BEST choice!

Experienced, Helpful, Kind -- The Best!

Meagan and Magnolia Collective were an invaluable part of our wedding process and day! We could tell on our intro call alone that Meagan was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. Moving forward and working with her was a no-brainer. We hired Magnolia Collective to be our month-of planner and for some additional design work, which included designing and printing the signage and menus for our wedding. They were amazing at it all! They were beyond helpful during the planning process, truly the place we could get any question answered, and when they took over the planning and vendor communications the month before the wedding, our stress levels dropped instantly. What a relief to know that such a capable team is working on your behalf and thinking of everything - including parts you didn't even know you should be thinking of. On the wedding weekend, all of our signage was exactly what we had asked for, and having the Magnolia team there for our rehearsal and wedding was such a huge help. They handled all of the setup, breakdown, and logistics, and they were always there to help, usher us through the day, and remind us to eat. This was true not only for us but also for our parents, which we really appreciated, as we wanted them to be able to relax and enjoy the day as much as we did. Magnolia Collective made that happen! Between their experience, wedding knowledge, and their kindness, we couldn't have asked for a better team, and we loved working with them!

Absolutely Amazing

Magnolia Collective - Meagan - came included in our package with our wedding venue. But boy - was she absolutely amazing. My husband and I were so impressed with her the day prior and the day of our wedding. She ran the day-of so smoothly and not only made my husband and I feel calm and relaxed, but made sure we had the most amazing time! We truly didn't have to do a thing on our wedding day except enjoy it!! We are so grateful our venue teams up with Magnolia Collective because we truly could not have imagined our day without her. We thank Meagan for the many hours of work she put in with us prior to our big day to make it amazing. SO AMAZING!!

What an amazing group of committed professionals I found in the Magnolia Grove staff. Meagan the owner shares to all her employees the example of hard work, keeping a positive attitude, and making these weddings/events perfect for their clients. As a DJ it is so crucial to have planners/coordinators who know what is going on and know how to bridge the gap between clients and vendors throughout all the complexities that come with events/weddings. There's nothing Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events can't handle and work into the greatest wedding/event of your life!
