Better than we could've hoped for!

After being one of those couples that had to cancel and reschedule 3 times due to the pandemic, we needed a coordinator/designer that was easy to work with and flexible. Meghan at Sideways & Co. delivered just that. I can't imagine what we would have done without her with all the changing factors due to the pandemic (ie. state regulations as well as guest needs/count changing). Plus, she helped us keep reimagining our day in the midst of an ever-changing world. What we created ended up being better than we could've imagined or hoped for and still felt very us.

You Need Meghan!

I just want to preface that I'm not a very "go with the flow" type of person. I’m usually the one throwing events, so I can get pretty particular about all the details and how things should go. I can truly say that because of Meghan, I was able to for the first time have an amazing wedding day without any worries because I knew whatever came up, she would be able to handle it. When we first met with Meghan, she had everything laid out for us to easily digest her services. We did meet with 2 other planners before her but she just has the perfect blend of professionalism, organizational & design skills and a great personality that made the wedding planning process enjoyable and fun. During the planning process she researched, made calls, found prices (and deals!) and gave a lot of ideas and opinions. We brainstormed together a lot and she really listened and gave valuable feedback on what would and wouldn’t work. She responded quickly to all my questions and concerns. She also has a great eye for details and design. Honestly, I feel like you could just tell her what kind of vibe/feeling and colors you want and she would design a beautiful wedding that you would totally be happy with. Like I said before, on the day of the wedding, I didn’t have to think of anything but to be with my guests and have fun. She did ALL of the logistical thinking and took care of any issues that came up. She even brought food to my husband and me (unprompted) to make sure we ate something! Everyone who met with her said she was amazing. Even if you have spoken to other planners, you have to make time to meet with her. You won’t be disappointed. We went with her full service package and it is 100% WORTH IT.

Perfect day thanks to Sideways Weddings!

Meghan truly made our wedding day the best day of our lives. She was incredibly thorough and professional. I appreciated her very quick responses to my questions throughout the entire process.

Meghan was one step ahead of us throughout planning. She thought of everything we didn’t and made sure no detail was forgotten. She even made signage for us herself when she noticed we hadn’t thought of it!

All of our vendors were incredibly impressed with Meghan and told us she was one of the best coordinators they had ever worked with! When we didn’t have a vision for flowers, she spent extra time working with our florist to create the most gorgeous arrangements.

Our wedding day was ahead of schedule and was completely free of snags thanks to Meghan’s diligent work. I so appreciated that I was able to just spend time with my friends and family and not worry about a single thing. Instead of being stressed, I felt relaxed and happy!

I recommend Sideways Weddings to every engaged couple I meet. Our wedding day was completely perfect thanks to Meghan and her team!
