Flawless Weddings Start with Meagan Hilss Events!

Working with Meagan Hilss Events was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! We hired her for partial planning, and our only regret is not hiring her sooner for the full wedding planning package!

Meagan’s attention to detail, creative vision, and calm demeanor turned what could have been a stressful planning process into an absolute joy.
From the very first phone consultation, I knew I wanted to hire her. Meagan took the time to truly understand our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, from the table arrangements to the seamless timeline. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could focus on enjoying our day.

Meagan’s network of vendors is unmatched, and her recommendations were spot-on. She has an incredible eye for design and a knack for making even the smallest moments feel magical.

What really sets Meagan apart is her personal touch and dedication to her clients. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly as we dreamed—and more. When I ran into a few hiccups with printing our table numbers, Meagan came to the rescue on the day of. She not only printed and cut them for us but also added extra decor items and candles to bring our vision to life, all without charging us extra for renting her supplies. We truly felt like she cared about us and our budget!

We couldn’t be happier, and we owe it all to Meagan and her husband, Mike! Thank you for giving us a day we will cherish forever!

**P.S. Peep Meagan in the background with a big smile! I wish we got more photos of her! 😁

Simply the best!

We couldn’t have asked for a better planner for our intimate civil ceremony celebration. Meagan made the entire process seamless and stress-free from start to finish.

She coordinated everything, from the courthouse schedule to an intimate dinner and styled shoot afterwards. All of the details were *chef’s kiss* and made a special day even more memorable.

We highly recommend her for all celebrations, whether small or large! We are extremely grateful to have had Meagan bring this day to life.

Megan is the absolute best wedding planner!!

Megan was the absolute best! She was on top of everything and was so wonderful to work with. Professional, kind and helpful! She helped keep us on budget and kept us up to date on any changes. She made the wedding day absolutely perfect! My son and his wife didn’t have to worry about a thing! I will hopefully get to work with her again when my other kids get married. She is amazing and so talented!

The BEST decision I ever made

I cannot say enough amazing things about Meagan! She was a complete dream to work with. From start to finish, she was the most thorough, detailed, and incredible wedding planner I could have ever asked for. She completely put my mind at ease throughout the entire process, always staying one step ahead with multiple solutions to any little hiccup that came up. Her positive outlook and resourcefulness made me feel confident that everything was in the best hands… and it truly was.

Our rehearsal ran so smoothly under her direction… it felt effortless because she had every detail accounted for. On the wedding day, everything went flawlessly. If there were any issues, I’ll never know, because Meagan took care of absolutely everything behind the scenes. All I had to do was enjoy the best day of my life.

My venue was at La Jolla Cove Rooftop, which is a “Wedgewood Weddings” venue. Had I relied only on Wedgewood, I would have been completely lost. If I didn’t have Meagan, my wedding would not have been as beautiful and smooth as it was. Meagan made my wedding dreams come true, and I cannot imagine the day without her. She is truly the most knowledgeable, resourceful, and professional planner I’ve ever encountered.

If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding stress free, seamless, and absolutely magical, look no further than Meagan. She is simply the best and I will continue to highly recommend her!!

Meagan Makes Magic Happen

We don't have adequate words to express our gratitude for Meagan’s impact and leadership planning our wedding, but reflecting back on the thousands of messages and calls we exchanged over nearly 18 months of planning work, we absolutely could not have pulled off our vision without her. Meagan is indispensable! We are so lucky to have found her serendipitously through friends shortly after our engagement. From our first consultation, we knew she could do anything she put her mind to - and our journey was not an easy one! In the midst of several curve balls, Meagan kept us on track, organized, sane, and reassured every step of the way. The thoughtful touches she added, always being several steps ahead, made our experience even more successful and special (delivering home-made biscuits and a bottle of bubbly on our wedding day!). In addition to our wedding, it was genuinely such a pleasure to get to know Meagan and her amazing team. We can’t recommend working with her enough, and know she will continue to make big things happen! Thank you endlessly, Meagan! It was the best weekend of our lives.
Love,
The Hadleys

The best decision

We hired Meagan as a partial planner for our July 2025 wedding in Carlsbad, CA, and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Being from Northern California, planning from afar posed some challenges, but Meagan made the entire process feel manageable. She is incredibly attentive and thorough—carefully reviewing contracts, working within budget, and going above and beyond to bring your vision to life. Her communication skills, professionalism, organization, and unmatched attention to detail gave us confidence every step of the way. We were both a bit naive going into wedding planning (for example, we booked our venue before ever seeing it / hiring Meagan). However, every time we felt overwhelmed, we'd tell each other, "Meagan's got us." And she did! With a sizable guest count of about 170, we expected some logistical challenges, but our rehearsal and wedding day ran seamlessly thanks to her well-crafted schedule. She ensured we had time to enjoy cocktail hour, eat our meals, and dance the night away—things we had worried might be lost in the busyness of the day. Wedding planning can be daunting and time-consuming, but Meagan’s expertise turned it into an enjoyable experience. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to any couple looking for a dedicated and passionate planner. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we owe it all to her!

For all my Type A Brides- HIRE MEAGAN!

You will have zero regrets hiring Meagan Hilss Events for your wedding or event. Meagan is a literal angel on earth!
We hired Meagan as our Day of Coordinator (6 weeks prior to our wedding date) for our NYE wedding and she killed it! I find myself to be extremely detail oriented and type A so naturally I was nervous finding someone that I felt shared my attention to detail and also nervous handing over my carefully curated wedding plans to someone else. From the first phone call through the various meetings Meagan put my mind at ease. She knows every question to ask to help nail your timeline down to the minute. She came up with a ton of creative and fun ideas to make our day even more unique and special. She was assertive enough to manage our bridal party of 20+, but still so kind to everyone the entire time. She came prepared with backup decor, and anything we would have needed.
I was able to fully relax through our rehearsal and wedding knowing Meagan would handle it and she did.
Thank you so much!!!!

Highly Recommend Meagan!!

Meagan was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was a lifesaver—making the entire wedding planning process smooth and stress-free. We had a very specific vision for our venue, caterer, and florist, and she truly went above and beyond by researching and finding vendor options that perfectly matched our unique style.
We didn’t know much about weddings, but Meagan guided us every step of the way and kept us on track with all our deadlines. She was always available for a call, super organized, and so sweet—like having a friend who’s also a wedding expert. She saved us so much time and money, and we honestly couldn’t have done it without her.
