It is difficult for me to even know where to begin in describing what a gift Meggie Francisco is. Meggie does not just plan events--she designs, executes, and creates a deeply purposeful and indelible gathering that sets the stage for joy, celebration, and meaningful moments.

I speak from the perspective of both the bridesmaid and the bride. As a bridesmaid in one of her weddings, I truly had the most stress-free day. Meggie took care of each and every detail with the utmost professionalism and careful communication, which meant that as bridesmaids we were free to focus 100% on celebrating the bride and groom. It's the only time I've been a bridesmaid without any confusion or harried running around behind the scenes on that day. Meggie provided me a true gift in getting to be fully present in every way for my dear friends.

As the bride, Meggie was a fierce, strong, yet graceful, servant-hearted leader. She is a professional in every way, a clean communicator, and yet a genuine friend. She seamlessly carries all these roles in order to nail every detail. From having to navigate finding me a new hair stylist in the last two weeks, to finding creative ways to execute our dreams within our budget, to putting out last-minute fires, to building an incredible wedding vendor team that pulled off everything without a hitch, Meggie does everything. And the best part, she does it all with grace, class, and a genuine compassion that makes her an amazing gem. Please look no further! Meggie Francisco is truly world-class.

What if I told you that there was one thing you could do to ensure your wedding day was absolutely perfect? Well that "thing" is hiring Meggie Francisco Events! I've been trying to find the right words to articulate just how amazing our experience with Meggie was but I am not sure that I will ever be able to appropriately express how lucky we felt to have her orchestrating our day and the months of planning leading up to it. From the moment I met Meggie, I knew that I could trust her. She is warm and charismatic, and has some truly enviable levels of organizations. As soon as we signed onboard, we put Meggie in a pressure-cooker with our requests, demands, and short timeline. She never once let her professionalism slip and we truly believe there is not another planner or person that could have pulled our wedding day off to the level of perfection that she did. Meggie plans a wedding like she was born doing it, like every detail and task is as easy for her as breathing. It is rare to find a planner that can deliver on both logistics and design but she nailed every single detail. We gave her our vision and she exceeded all of our expectations! Our wedding day would not have been possible without her and we owe Meggie a never-ending amount of "Thank you"s.

We were planning on having a small family wedding, we were hesitant to hire a wedding planner because it wasn’t really in our budget and we thought we had almost everything done for the wedding. Well, two weeks before the wedding, my photographer recommended that we hire Meggie, at first we weren’t sure if we really needed the help, but last minute we decided to move forward and it was the best decision we made! I am one of five girls and my parents said that they will never have another wedding without Meggie! She made the day seamless, worked so hard to make every dream and desire come to life and was so much fun to have around! The wedding was on time, but never felt rushed, ended on time but never felt rushed, every vendor was taken care of, she knew and understood the vision I had and communicated with the vendors to change a few things (that i didn’t even think of) in order to help that vision come to life, she looked over every detail and it made the week so much more relaxing! She saved us financially because of her experience and I was actually able to get more due to her help! We are all so thankful for Meggie and again, highly recommend her!

Meggie is absolutely incredible. If you have the chance to work with her, don’t hesitate for a moment. It will be the best decision you make when it comes to planning your wedding!

Meggie makes planning a wedding FUN! And let me tell you, I was not having fun planning it until I met her. She will ask you all the right questions to understand YOU and your vision.
She is so knowledgable in the industry and will give you all the confidence you are making the right planning decisions.

When it came to vendors, I always felt I was getting fair quotes because she was there during negotiations; sharing ideas on how we could get exactly what we wanted and cut out what we didn’t need. Outside of getting fair quotes, she made sure the vendors were going to deliver the vision and tone of the wedding.

I had a Costa Rica destination wedding, and her ability to speak Spanish really helped with negotiations and vendor communications on this aspect.

She reviewed airline restrictions, helped me bring wedding items in her personal travel bags, delivered welcome bags to our guests, she even went on a run to pick up some water bottles to throw in the goody bags. She truly handled everything - floral, welcome dinner, reception, wedding day, scheduling/timing of all vendors for a smooth day, reception, prepping the wedding party, making sure I sent the DJ songs I liked, officiant script... EVERYTHING!

We last minute decided to extend the reception 2 hours - the rental crew was onsite with their trucks ready to load up and she somehow kept everyone happy and agreeing to wait for us to finish our party!!

And she isn’t just your planner - she was my right hand woman on all things wedding. She helped me pick bridesmaid dresses, wedding invitations, set reminders for me to write thank you cards, designed the website, helped me describe my pallet to a chef for how I wanted food prepped - I mean really, you name it she was right there with me. She would talk with me about wedding stresses and make me feel better about them. I can truly say Meggie has become a friend and someone I continue to stay in touch with on a regular basis.

I think absolute hospitality when it comes to Meggie’s services. I feel she invited me into her world of planning and made my wedding absolutely magical. I can truly say when I closed my eyes to envision my wedding, she made it a reality. Being able to refer her name to friends and family is gift in itself.

My mom actually found Meggie back in September of 2016, shortly after my husband and I got engaged. We were very aware that although she is a well-known destination wedding planner and stylist, she had never planned a wedding in Italy before. Naturally, before we made it official, there were doubts. However, from the moment we hired Meggie we had felt an absolute immediate sense of security. There wasn’t a moment that went by that we ever felt this was her first Italian wedding. Aside from her own countless hours of research and preparation, she delivered on every promise she had made. She put together the most outstanding group of vendors and executed the entire event with the utmost professionalism. There was not a single detail that she didn’t think of!

After all is said and done, I can sit back and honestly say that Meggie put on the most amazing event that myself, family & friends had ever attended. We have not only gained incredible memories but also a forever friend.

The wedding of my DREAMS would NOT have been possible without Meggie! I interviewed a few other planners. All were good, but Meggie stood out because she was MOST passionate, proactive, fun to work with. I LOVED her immediately. I still remember our 1st meeting when we talked about our vision, ideas, and who we are as a couple. I was pretty clueless, but Meggie just gets it, and she really helped us learn a lot through the process.

To give you an idea how much help we needed, my husband and I were engaged for 3 yrs before Meggie came along. Between him living out-of-state and me working 80hrs/week (+ most weekends), it was just impossible to get anything done. Well, Meggie made the impossible possible! She worked with our very limited schedules. She had a plan for us, and she helped us stick to it.

From beginning to end, Meggie took care of everything as if it was her own wedding. She was always RELIABLE and SUPPORTIVE. Most importantly, she really had our backs. As an example, budgeting was a huge deal since neither of our families were contributing financially (and we had tons of loans). Meggie worked with what we had. She helped us prioritize realistically and objectively, gave countless helpful advise on what we needed and what not, and she always made sure we were comfortable with our decisions and not stressed financially. In the end, I felt like I got a million dollar wedding under budget!

Meggie obviously has good taste for aesthetics. But she also has a very good eye for people. She put together the most AMAZING team for us! Everyone worked together FLAWLESSLY to make our wedding day memorable! Also, knowing our families, who tend to be drama prone, I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly entire day went by! Of course, it was much later when I learned how much work Meggie did behind the scene, putting out fires left and right to make sure everyone was happy! Meggie, YOU ARE TRULY AMAZING and TALENTED! I wish I can have Meggie for life!!!

Meggie is, in my humble opinion, the best at what she does. I was referred to Meggie by our videographer, Henry Martens. When Meggie and I first met, I immediately felt the stress and weight of wedding planning lift off my shoulders. Meggie has vast knowledge of wedding planning, from researching and booking vendors, logistics involved in a destination wedding, and providing wonderful customer service to all parties involved, not just the bride. She is a genius at working with all members of the family, yet ensuring the true love story of the bride and groom is told in their way.

Meggie worked with me on our destination wedding in Lake Tahoe, CA at The Ritz Carlton. She helped budget, schedule and complete phone calls with vendors, brainstorm and design the most beautiful wedding day. She arrived to our destination a few days in advance to help us walk the property, go over our schedule of events, and actually choreographed the entire rehearsal.

On our wedding day, Meggie was bouncing back and forth between the bridal suite, the grooms’ room and the reception hall. She made sure that my bridesmaids knew how to properly steam my dress; an hour before the wedding when she realized the groom hadn’t had a bite to eat since 6 AM, she brought him a personal pizza. It was these seemingly small touches that have such a lasting effect on her clients and their wedding day.

Throughout the wedding, Meggie made sure that no one was wanting for anything. We (the bride and groom) always had a fresh drink in our hands, a bobby pin when my hair started to slip, or a moment of silence together amidst the chaos. Our event felt effortless and meaningful because of her excellent planning. I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without Meggie, and am so grateful for her.

Choosing Meggie as my wedding planner was the best and easiest decision I made. With her extremely detailed lists and her attention to detail,Meggie made my whole wedding experience so easy and fun. If anything went wrong with another vendor she had so many helpful options within minutes. People always ask if I was stressed having such a big wedding, but thanks to Meggie i truly never felt stressed or overwhelmed. The day of the wedding her and her team were waiting on me and my husband hand and foot, and at the same time making sure everything was running smoothly. There are truly not enough words to say how incredible Meggie is. My dream wedding wouldn't have been possible without her.

Meggie is an amazing wedding planner! She was able to take my daughter's vision and turn it into a reality. Meggie was very easy to work with, and made the whole wedding planning process fun and stress free. The day of the wedding & reception was absolute perfection! We were all able to totally enjoy ourselves without ever thinking about what was going on behind the scene. Meggie made our daughter's dreams come true, and for that we will be forever grateful.

Meggie was hands down the best decision we made for our entire wedding. Not only was she extremely friendly and personable, but she was also organized and well connected in the wedding community. She helped us with vendors, design, and pretty much everything else. I can honestly say that our wedding would not have been a success without her. She helped us every step of the way and coordinated everything we needed. We could not have done it without her. She truly is the best! If there's at least one decision you want to get right for your wedding, make sure it's getting Meggie Francisco Events to be your wedding planner. You won't regret it!
