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!

Meagan was amazing to work with throughout our entire wedding planning process. She was a huge help in keeping us on track leading up to the big day and provided massive support in managing all of our vendor communications. On the wedding day itself, she handled every detail behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy the moment. We couldn't have done it without her—10/10, highly recommend!

Hiring Meagan was genuinely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We worked with her for over a year, and by the time our wedding weekend arrived, she felt so much more like a friend who happened to know absolutely everything about our wedding than simply our planner.

From the beginning, Meagan gave us structure without ever making the planning process feel rigid or overwhelming. She created our planning checklist, kept us on track with what needed to be done and when, helped us navigate our budget, reviewed our venue contract, and was always there when we had a question or needed an opinion. She helped us take all of the ideas floating around in our heads and actually turn them into a cohesive wedding.

She was especially incredible with design. Meagan helped us refine our overall vision, colors, florals, linens, rentals, table settings, floor plans, draping, bars, ceremony setup, reception layout and all of the tiny details in between. She coordinated our venue walkthrough and full mock-up with our florist and rental vendors so we could actually see everything come together before the wedding. She also helped us find vendors that fit both our style and budget—including our florist—and coordinated meetings, proposals and logistics throughout the process.

But where Meagan truly went above and beyond was advocating for us. There were so many little logistical challenges toward the end of planning that we would have had no idea how to navigate ourselves. She went back and forth with our venue about everything from chairs, bars and linens to AV, draping, vendor parking, load-in times and service details. At one point, when having the same crossback chairs throughout the day became unexpectedly complicated, she went to bat for us and worked with the venue to find a solution. There were countless moments like that where she cared about the details because she knew that *we* cared about them.

She also coordinated every vendor leading up to the wedding, created an incredibly detailed execution plan with timelines, diagrams, contact information and setup instructions, reviewed our BEO line by line, managed final guest and meal information, coordinated vendor arrivals and setup, and made sure everyone knew exactly where they needed to be and when. She even helped coordinate a surprise magician for Jordan during cocktail hour and somehow kept the whole thing under wraps!

And then there was the actual wedding day. I cannot overstate how valuable it was to be able to completely let go. I am normally someone who wants to know what is happening at all times, and somehow on our wedding day I genuinely did not worry about a thing. I knew Meagan had it. She and her team made sure that more than a year of planning actually came to life exactly the way we imagined it, while Jordan and I got to be present with each other, our families and our friends.

Beyond being incredibly organized and talented, Meagan is warm, funny, thoughtful, honest and so easy to trust. She understood us as a couple, cared about our experience, celebrated with us throughout the process and made what could have been an incredibly stressful year feel manageable and fun.

By the end, I was genuinely sad that our planning emails and meetings were over—which probably says everything. We would hire Meagan again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for someone who will care about your wedding like it is her own, advocate for you, obsess over the details and then make sure you actually get to enjoy the day you spent so long planning, hire Meagan. Five stars does not feel like enough.

Meagan is the BEST. We could not have asked for a better wedding planner! From the moment we started with her she was incredibly involved, organized, and knowledgeable, making the entire planning process feel so smooth. Meagan has great taste and an eye for design, she helped me bring my Pinterest vision to life in an even better way than I could have ever imagined!

We felt guided every step of the way, always taking the time to explain options and help us make the best decisions for our vision. What really stood out was her positive attitude throughout the entire process and she was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy with our choices.

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she turned it into something we truly enjoyed. I’m forever grateful for everything she did. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who is not only professional and skilled but also a joy to work with.

Hiring Meagan was our best and favorite decision we made! From the first call to the day of, she made the whole wedding planning process an ease. I honestly don’t think we would have survived without her. Meagan is extremely organized, professional, thoughtful and her attention to detail is like no other. We had envisioned having two long tables on the lawn at Scripps Seaside Forum and wow did she execute our vision (our guests still talk about it). With 180 guests, everything felt incredibly seamless the day of, and we received countless compliments from guests and family members on how beautifully she executed our day. We truly were able to be present with one another and stay so calm the day of the wedding and it was all because of her. We are so grateful for her! If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner please schedule your call with Meagan and I guarantee you will be happy and wanting to move forward with her. And if you are questioning doing partial or full wedding planning go with the full planning!

My only regret was not having her for more than just day of planning. Very friendly and easy to work with.

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 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!

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!!

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,
