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!! -

The most down to earth, problem solving, and FUN wedding planning team in the business. I could not imagine a different team handing our wedding!

Hands down awesome
We were originally scheduled for April of 2020. Meagan and her team helped us navigate rescheduling not once but twice! They rock! MC took the time to get a real feel for what the bride and groom wanted, including a non-traditional wedding party, and it was amazing! Love, love Magnolia Collective! -

BEST Decision Ever!
Meagan and Magnolia Collective Events are absolutely incredible. They are hands down the best decision we made when planning our wedding! I have a hard time putting into words how thankful I am to booked with Meagan because no words seem good enough to describe the experience of working with her.
We got engaged in 2020, and I started looking at day-of coordinators/month of planners and came across Meagan and Magnolia Collective. When I talked with Meagan, she was so kind and made me feel at ease in just one conversation. I knew she was the right person to book with because I could tell she cared about her couples, and that she had the ability to make stressful situations easier through her knowledge and encouraging demeanor.
Whenever I had a question, Meagan was there. She came with my mom and I to several vendor meetings and assisted in bringing our vision to life while remaining within our budget. She came with us to our venue meetings/walk throughs which made everything a breeze because she helped make sure we were remembering and thinking of everything! She made me feel empowered and validated when making decisions, and was so supportive each step of the way. When we had to postpone our celebration from 2020 to September 2021 due to COVID-19, Meagan helped make sure all of our vendors could switch dates and was so empathetic and helpful - she made us feel so important and like such a priority while I know she was also doing the same for countless other couples!
On our wedding day, I was re-affirmed how great of a decision it was to work with Meagan and Magnolia Collective. She and the team ensured that everything was perfect and they made it look easy while doing it. Everything was taken care of which allowed me to truly enjoy the day to the fullest. She was so much fun to work with as well, she kept me laughing and calm through everything. It felt like I was working with a friend, and that is what Meagan became to me throughout this process - a friend. I would recommend Meagan and Magnolia Collective to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much for absolutely everything!-

June 2021 Wedding
Meagan stuck by us through COVID which was an absolute blessing. She was with us through planning a wedding in 2019, postponing a wedding in 2020 and finally when we got to celebrate in June 2021. She attended all of our big meetings with catering at Market Hall, our florist, CE rental meetings and was always a phone call away with any questions we had. The month leading up, she was so helpful in last minute details and contacting vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of our wedding, I didn't have to worry about a thing! Meagan and her team made sure everything was perfect and told me where I needed to be. Meagan even took many behind the scenes videos of our wedding a sent them to me after the wedding! Our wedding was so stress-free and enjoyable because of Magnolia Collective and I would highly recommend this incredible team to any bride who wants an enjoyable wedding planning experience and wedding day. -

The Perfect Wedding Planner for Us!
Meagan and Magnolia Collective were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. We met Meagan in 2019 when we were on a venue tour. The venue manager introduced us to her and as soon as she finished showing us the space and telling us about how we could use the space, my dad gently nudged me (when Meagan wasn't looking) and said, "This girl knows her stuff. Hire her." I told my dad that I needed to think about it, but deep down, I knew it too.
From the minute we officially hired Magnolia Collective, we were constantly reassured that we made the right decision. Not only did Meagan and her team flawlessly lead us through a magnitude of changes with our wedding date (4th time was a charm!) and venue during a pandemic from over 1200 miles, but they were also a source of calm during the entire wedding planning process. Any time that we needed anything during the wedding planning process, Meagan was always there for us. She went to both the floral and linens meetings with us and even helped to set-up virtual appointments with other vendors when I was uncertain about some linen selections that I had made.
Although all of these things are wonderful, my favorite thing about Meagan and Magnolia Collective was the love and care that her business outwardly exemplifies. When we first started working with Meagan, we let her know that we wanted to prioritize choosing vendors who were from communities of Color, LGBTQ+ friendly, and vendors who prioritized social justice and inclusive spaces. Every time we asked her for a recommendation, she delivered. Thinking back to our wedding day, you could just feel the love and joy in the room and there's no doubt in our minds that Meagan and Magnolia Collective (Savannah + Natalie) were a huge part in bringing together the perfect team for us on the most special day in our lives. Hiring a wedding planner was hands down the best decision we could have ever made!-

Meagan and her team were absolutely amazing to work with!
I had called several different wedding planners but none of them felt like “the one”. The very first phone call with Meagan I knew her and her team was who we needed. Nobody could have handled our wedding the way she and her assistant did. If it could have gone wrong at our wedding it did and she made it as if nothing did. It was a perfect day to me. I could never thank her enough for everything she did for us on our wedding day! -

Great planners, great team, and new friends
After canceling our destination wedding due to the pandemic, we were in need of a wedding planner. We had it narrowed down to two highly recommended individuals. We chose Meagan and Magnolia Collective based on our conversation and fit. We were NOT disappointed! Magnolia Collective was great in every aspect from arranging vendor meet-ups, to helping pick out linens, to making sure we (the bride and groom) were free to enjoy our day. Everyone at the event commented on how smoothly the day went and just how approachable everyone was - as if they were part of our friend and family group (which they now are!). The event went so well, multiple family and friends asked if we can do this every year! Highly recommend Meagan and her team. They are proactive, communicate well, flexible, and overall they love their job and are super fun to work with. -

Pandemic Planning Exemplar
I was an October 2020 Bride. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not what I could have ever expected. Original plan had a guest count of 175 people but living in North Carolina we had a lot of mandates about guest count that kept changing so we hosted a small child free outdoor wedding with 40 people including staff and live streamed for everyone else. I felt defeated it was not turning out like the wedding I had always dreamed about, we hit so many obstacles along the way and if it weren’t for my dad’s health we probably would’ve have postponed. I thought I was going to be able to do it all myself and boy was that a mistake. I was up to my ears in DIY projects and disappointments when I finally reached out to Meagan at Magnolia Collective. I had been at a few weddings she planned and knew she was my only hope. Not only did I need a planner/coordinator I needed what every brunch wedding needs… a giant cinnamon roll cake! Without hesitation Meagan and her team made it happen. Becca at Magnolia was our coordinator and Meagan made my OH SO DELICIOUS cake. They worked so seamlessly with my photographer and catering staff and made the day effortless. Becca wrangled our goofy crew and had so much fun with our rehearsal the night before. It is so true when they tell you in the end you won’t remember everything that went wrong along the way. I look back at my wedding and I don’t think about all of my obstacles, I think about how perfect it was to have my Family and closest friends there while I said “I DO” to my best friend. I remember my mom and sister helping me into my dress. I remember about dancing and laughing with my bridesmaid while getting ready. I remember how blue my husbands eyes looked. I remember how yummy my cranberry apple cider mimosas and Cinnamon roll cake were. The day felt easy I didn’t have a worry in the world because everything was handled by Magnolia Collective. Every question I had, every worry I felt the handled with care and understanding. They made my day perfect I couldn’t have done it without them.-

If you want a beautiful wedding that you can actually enjoy, I highly recommend hiring Meagan!!
Meagan is amazing!! I am beyond thrilled that I hired her. I had planned my own wedding and the venue suggested a "day of" event coordinator. Meagan easily stood out from the planners that I had vetted. She has the perfect personality for what she does. Not only does she handle the vendors, she also thought of the small details that I would have missed. Thanks to her my wedding was even better than I had imagined!! -

Dream Wedding Planning
Where to start with the absolute joy and pleasure it was to work with Magnolia Collective. From the first call I made to Meagan, she exuded the vibes that emphasized having fun and focusing on the start of our marriage as the center point to all of the celebrations. She introduced us to the MOST amazing vendors (her circle and reputation in the wedding industry in the Triangle speaks volumes to her integrity in the field) and walked us through every step of the way. She was always accessible and gave us good advise as we began the early stages of planning.
And then COVID happened. I’m telling you, pandemic or no pandemic, get. yourself. a. wedding. planner. Just do it. They will be the best investment you can make. She was an instant spot of anxiety-relief, and by joining the North Carolina Wedding Alliance, was a voice and advocate for hosting safe and enjoyable events.
I was in Iowa when I got engaged with my fiancé in North Carolina. Our families and bridal party were super helpful and supportive, but they are also spread out over the country. Meagan was our boots on the ground, coordinating vendor visits on the few weekends I was able to come into town, managing conference calls with me a time zone behind, and keeping us on track with everything. It wouldn’t be enough to say that we couldn’t have done this without her and I can safely say I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on our wedding day, just as she said it would be:) -

Incredible experience, highly recommend Meagan and her team!
Meagan, the owner of Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events, is absolutely incredible! Because of COVID, we had to completely replan our wedding in just 6 weeks and transition from an all inclusive venue to a private residence outdoor wedding. Meagan made the transition seamless and was so helpful throughout it all! She always eased my worries and helped me laugh and have fun along the way! She flawlessly executed our wedding exactly how I imagined it on wedding day along with her team, and it was truly the most perfect day ever. I cannot thank Meagan and her team enough and I HIGHLY recommend her! Her expertise, knowledge, organization, and fun personality make her the perfect wedding planner to work with! Do not hesitate in book Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events!! -

The absolute best!
Oh Meagan, where do I start. Meagan is amazing and then she brought Katie and Julia. Working in event planning made this hard for me to let go, but Meagan, Katie, and Julia made it so easy! We navigated covid and decided we’d have our same wedding and just spread tables. I’m so thankful for this team of women that made my big day so flawless! -

Amazing wedding planner!
Meagan was the best! We had a wedding during the pandemic and let me just tell you----she pulled out all the stops. We had a ton of moving parts, and she stayed on top of all of them, and made everything happen in a timely manner. We could not of done our wedding without her. I'm super type A and wanted everything done a certain way and she overdelivered. She made things look amazing and exactly how I had dreamed them up in my head. She worked well with our entire vendor team and was kind and friendly with all of my guests and wedding party. If I could give her a 10 star review, I would! -

Calm during COVID-19 - The Perfect Wedding Planner
I remember the first time that I called Meagan at Magnolia Grove weddings – I knew from the start that she was someone very special. I knew she was good at her job- I had seen her work and she planned a friend’s wedding, but I didn’t realize how incredible she actually was - not only as a professional, but also as what a wonderful person and friend.
During our initial conversation and meeting, neither of us anticipated how drastic the world was going to change, and I was so excited about Meagan’s ability to translate my messy thoughts into a wedding more beautiful and special than beyond my craziest imagination (and within my budget!) The storyboard she created took all the elements that I talked about and pintrested, and built the most beautifully personalized dream wedding.
Dave and I had our dream venue secured and Meagan pretty much took care of the rest. She provided recommendations on lighting, DJ and flowers, all who were easy to work with, accommodating and nice. Her team designed personalized octopus invitations and matching rehearsal dinner invites and managed all of RSVPs for both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner.
Beyond the management of the wedding, she took the time to get to know me – she met and understood the dynamics of my relationship and friendships, what makes me tick (cake), and even attended my bachelorette party. She answered my crazy texts and phone calls with positivity and calmness and never let me stress out. As we continued to get closer to the date, we felt confident that in just a few short weeks, we were going to have our dream wedding.
And then COVID-19 happened.
I think I was the first client of Meagan’s to want to postpone – it was early – before the quarantine, back when kids were still in school and life was normal. I remember calling her and going back and forth on what to do – I had even gotten a case of hand sanitizer just in case we needed them at the wedding… oh how naive we were. We made the decision to postpone – hoping that things would be better in the fall. Meagan jumped into action, secured the venue for September and Every. Single. Vendor – flowers, lighting, DJ, food, linens, cake. She did it all so I didn’t have to, all while standing by my side while I mourned the day and drank wine.
The pandemic has not gotten any better, and we have made the decision to postpone our September wedding, which has resulted in us losing our venue. Once again, Meagan has stepped in to help us weigh our options and is helping move forward. I could not be more thankful to have Meagan and the Magnolia Grove Weddings team on my side and standing with me through this process.
There are truly no words to express my gratitude and admiration for the support I have been provided and I cannot thank Meagan enough for everything she has done and continues to do.

Perfect planner for everyone.
In the beginning I wasn’t 100% sure we needed a wedding planner... but Meagan was amazing. She took our ideas, loved them – no matter what they were – and made them happen. Just because we wanted them to happen. She never tried to dim our individuality or shut down our ideas. In fact, she supported them with enthusiasm. I cannot imagine having gone through this process without her on our team. If anything went wrong during our wedding, I didn’t know about it. And I even saw some things in pictures that I didn’t notice on the day of… little touches, like a coat rack, that her team must have set up. The money to hire her was more than worth it. I felt great on my wedding day – and was able to let loose and have fun! – knowing that she was in control. It was also amazing to have someone to make decisions for me when I reached decision overload, particularly in the days leading up to the wedding. I remember her asking me if I wanted our programs already in the chairs before guests arrived or on a table when they walked in… my response was “I want you to decide that.” And she did! I am super grateful for everything she (and her team!) did for us.-

Dream team!
I had the pleasure of working with Meagan and her team at Magnolia and they were amazing. I purchased the "Month of" planning and could not have been happier with their results. Any situation with other vendors was taken care of with poise and within a timely manner. They were ALWAYS there to make sure that not only did we have a special day but that the process was as easy as it could be. Not to mention, the day of coordination was amazing. None of my family or friends had to lift a finger. Everyone was able to take the day in and enjoy themselves. You really can't put a price tag on that. You often hear couples say that their wedding was a blur and was hectic, etc. HOWEVER, if you have a team like this one, that will not be the case. Our wedding was everything we hoped for and SO much more. -

Worth every penny!
I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to hire a wedding planner or not. Luckily, Meagan came recommended by my now husband who used to work with her. I chose the month of coordination and it was absolutely worth it. While I like to consider myself very organized, having someone to help coordinate and work with all of my vendors and myself took a huge weight off of my shoulders. I worked with both Meagan and Savannah and they were absolutely wonderful. They were both extremely easy to work with, and wanted to do everything they could to make the month of and most importantly, the day of, easy for me. Savannah even stopped by my house the day of to check in on me. I can't recommend Magnolia grove enough. They were truly worth every penny and I am so thankful for their services. -

Wonderful wedding planner
Meagan and her team made my wedding dreams come true. When I first met Meagan I was living 10 hours away from where my wedding was set to take place and all I knew was that I wanted my reception to be at a relatives farm. Meagan took my vague idea of what I wanted my wedding to be and created a fairytale. Without Meagan's out of this world vendor list, timeline management, and creativity I'm not sure what I would have done. Meagan was always kind and patient with me and would answer my calls/texts/emails almost immediately no matter what time it was and I can easily say she is one of the most hardworking and dedicated individuals I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Meagan made sure my wedding was perfect in every way from the overall design, vendor lineup, to the million little personal touches she thought up that took my big day from great to absolutely unbelievable. If you want a planner that will go the extra mile to make sure your wedding is a dream come true, Meagan and the Magnolia Grove team is the perfect fit for you. -

Excellent wedding planner!
Working with Meagan and the Magnolia Grove team was so helpful during our wedding planning process. She always helped keep us on track, and we wouldn't have been able to put together such a wonderful group of vendors without her! On our wedding day, she helped to make sure things ran smoothly! -

A Magical Day
We hired Magnolia Grove for full service coordination of our daughter’s wedding. During the 7 month period of wedding planning, both the bride and groom were also to finish their studies and relocate out of state. Needless to say, Meagan Graddy was a godsend for our families. Meagan helped us find the reception venue and the main vendors. She was on time for our meetings and responded promptly to emails and calls. Once we had chosen our vendors, I suspect that Meagan conducted a lot of "behind the scenes" coordination that we were not a part of.
The group of vendors that Meagan associates with are incredibly easy to work with, conduct themselves with the utmost professionalism, are creative and fun. Artistry and thoughtfulness was reflected in all their work.
Meagan’s day-of-wedding coordination services were invaluable and took a lot of stress off the families. She and her team put together a day that can only be described as magical.
It has been four months since the wedding, and our guests are still buzzing about how fun, delicious and beautiful the day was. It was one of the best days in our family’s life.

Team sent from heaven!
Meagan and her team were nothing short of amazing for all of the 8 months Kaleb and I were engaged. I'm very type-A and had a lot of strong ideas going into the wedding planning process. Meagan and each of her team members met me where I was in order for our wedding day to be perfect. They are extremely detail oriented and punctual with any and all questions. If it was possible for Meagan and her team to be even more 'on point' the day of- they were. My family and I did not have to worry about one single detail on the day of the wedding- they took care of everything making my vision of my wedding day a flawless reality. Would recommend Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events a thousand times over!-

Absolutely incredible!!!
I can't say enough about how amazing my experience with Magnolia Grove Weddings and Event is. I needed specific help with a DIY venue that didn't have enough hands. I was worried when looking for help I wouldn't find what I needed since I was doing a partial self-serve bar. Not only did Meagan and Audrey go above and beyond what I needed, they were supportive in all of my decisions and they helped me fill in the gaps of anything I had overlooked or not thought about in the planning process. The day of the wedding they made sure everything went PERFECT! The entire day and evening I didn't have to worry about anything because they were always one step ahead of me. Meagan and Audrey, thank you both so much for making my day so amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better, no stress day, and you two made it possible. -

Best decision I ever made!!
I can’t recommend Magnolia Grove enough. It was such a great experience and hands down the best decision I made during the wedding process. Only regret is that I didn’t have them do the planning as well because the day of coordinating was so good. They were there with any questions and made sure everything went well so I was able to actually enjoy my wedding! -

Made our wedding day stress free
Magnolia Grove Events staff was a huge help in making sure our wedding day ran smoothly and that we were able to just enjoy the day. They jumped in to help in emergency situations (such as the bridal party walking through fire ants during photos) and kept positive attitudes through it all! -

Blown Away! ;)
Meaghan helped us with our son's wedding that was outdoors at a vineyard. We had worried about rain and such, but what we hadn't worried about was WIND! And oh was it windy!! As soon as things were set up, they'd be blown over- like whole tables! They had to set and reset over and over and over! Thank God for their work and efforts because what would have been extremely stressful and overwhelming for us was never a concern we had to deal with! The wedding was beautiful and went off without a problem! -

BEST investment you will make for your wedding day by far!
We hired Magnolia Grove for day of coordination of our wedding ceremony and reception as well as for coordination of our rehearsal party the night before the wedding in early November, 2018. Meagan and her team FAR exceeded our expectations and made our big day flow seemlessly, handling every single detail of the weekend so that we could just enjoy the events of the weekend. Meagan seemed to be everywhere at once, taking care of not only my and my husband's needs, but our family and bridal party's needs as well. I firmly believe that hiring Magnolia Grove was the best money we spent throughout the wedding planning process. Meagan was so much fun to work with from the first time we messaged her, and she is so sweet and easy to talk to! She always responded to emails quickly and was ALWAYS willing to answer my many questions and help in any way she possibly could. Our wedding weekend was perfect because of Meagan and her team making everything happen behind the scenes and we are SO thankful we hired them and can't wait to recommend them to all of our friends! -

Magical Day
The folks at Magnolia Grove Weddings are great. They are amazing in helping think through all the minute details of the planning process to help you make smart decisions. They are friendly and very responsive, like having your best and most dependable friend by your side. Their day of wedding and reception management was exceptional and made our special day stress free and magical! We highly recommend them and will use them again for other special event planning an execution in the future! -

Long Distance Bride Who Needed Some Help
I only have great things to say about Meagan and her wonderful team. I was planning my wedding from 9 hours away while in a doctoral program. I had very little time to focus on my wedding and without my lovely mom and fiancé things probably would have not gotten done. We hired Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events for Day of Service Coordination and I was blown away by my experience. When we had questions and a venue had fallen through Meagan was there to assist us in regrouping and providing guidance to get everything back on track. During the big day, I did not have to worry because I was constantly being checked on my bridal party and I were given snacks and drinks while we waited to be announce and I was actually able to eat at my wedding because Meagan helped to make sure I took time for myself and my new husband. I could not imagine a more perfect day. Anyone would be lucky to have Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events to assist them in their planning process. Much Love! -

Very organized and seamless for month-of coordination
Meagan Graddy was amazing! We had a 2-day, 3-event Indian wedding with 350 guests and despite all the typical chaos in an Indian wedding, Meagan and her team were well-prepared for the events. We hired Meagan as our month-of wedding coordinator and she was very attentive and organized from the beginning. We hired all the vendors and did the majority of the planning ourselves with the venue, but we hired Meagan to make sure all the events went smoothly. We gave her all the details about 6 weeks before and we worked with her to make a detailed weekend timeline so she knew how best to keep things moving. She knew all the right questions to ask and made sure we were comfortable and did not have to worry about anything during the weekend. The entire weekend went very smoothly and she worked well with all of the vendors. She also made sure the entire weekend ran on time (a difficult feat for Indian weddings)! She was very adaptable and immediately was able to direct her staff to fix any minor details that needed to be adjusted. Not only did she coordinate the big picture but she made sure all the details were in place.
She is very personable and takes time to get to know her clients. I highly recommend Magnolia Grove!! -

Amazing Amazing, and oh yes AMAZING! Best in NC!
Meagan and her team were absolutely amazing. We had a three day event in 2018 and even though we had hired Meagan and her team for the day of, she offered her help for the night before event as well simply so that I wouldn’t be stressed out. She took care of details that I didn’t even think about and when I arrived early at my reception venue everything was set up and absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be more happy with Meagan and her team and the amount of work and effort they put into putting our day together was great. I would definitely recommend Magnolia Grove to any bride because they KNOW what they’re doing and how to get it done. Thank you guys for an amazing job and we couldn’t thank you guys enough for everything you guys did. -

I've known Meagan for a few years now and I've had the honor of working with her as a fellow wedding vendor. I've seen the passion she has for this business and how much of herself she puts into it. That love and passion really came through on our wedding day and I'm just so happy she and Becca were there to make our vision of our big day come to life! They were amazing. Seriously, having a coordinator is one of the most important aspects of a wedding day and Magnolia Grove is one of the best! <3 Thank you times a million! -

I was dead-set on planning my own wedding, so my husband and I hired Meagan for day-of coordination with the expectation that she would be there to help things run as smoothly as possible on our big day. Meagan did that and more! She went above and beyond even in the weeks leading up to our wedding day to make sure we were on track to bring our vision to life. She is professional and personable and I would recommend her to anyone. -

Working with Meagan and her team was beyond perfect!
I got in touch with Meagan two months before my wedding and she was just incredible! A day hadn’t gone by and she was already sending me different vendors to chose from!
The day of my wedding Amanda came to help and i had nothing to worry about!
Cant stress enough how easy it was working with Magnolia Grove -

Working with Meagan was truly the easiest part of our vendor journey. She was attentive, and available despite living in a completely different state.
We decided on a day of coordinator for our day since we were keeping it low key and Asheville local, however it felt like Meagan was there far more than we thought she would be. Our day of coordinator ended up being Savannah another Magnolia Grove member, and we were over the moon with her. She came ready and willing to work and made sure our little wedding ship ran tightly and smoothly . Savannah took care of the smaller details that we simply did not have man power for and for that we are so very grateful.
We would recommend Magnolia Grove to anyone looking for a down to earth, warm and professional wedding coordinator. Also, support women's businesses, these lovely ladies run a lovely company!
Thanks so much guys!

There is no exaggeration when I say this - Meagan literally saved my wedding day! I had originally spoke to Meagan early on in my wedding planning process for her day-of services. After our phone call I knew she had my vision in mind and would ensure my wedding was ran exactly as I wanted! A few weeks later, a friend of my in laws offered to do the day-of coordination services for us, and we took her up on that offer. Unfortunately, our personalities didn’t didn’t work well together and this was only a few weeks before our wedding day. I immediately contacted Meagan to see if she was still available and she was! Even though we were so close to my wedding day, she didn’t hesitate to help! She was so relaxed and easy to work with - which was exactly what I needed! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! -

Chris and I hired Meagan to be our day of planner for our wedding 9/24/17. Meagan was so helpful in helping organize and coordinate our day. She offered assistance with calligraphy and had a slew of props and signs to use. She met with me on several occasions and was always available by phone or text. Meagan and her husband Lee were so personable that Chris and I had to have them both at our wedding not only helping but as friends. Thank you for helping with every aspect of our day! -

Meagan and her staff were completely on top of everything that needed to get done, and as a busy doctoral student/type A personality, I was thrilled that I could let go of the reins the days leading up to our wedding ceremony and reception. I honestly do not know WHAT the day would've have been like for myself and my (now!) husband, without Meagan helping us to iron out the details and logistics! Additionally, Meagan provided the additional service of providing chocolate covered strawberries and cake pops, which were DEVOURED by our guests! Although I didn't get a chance to sample them, our friends told us later on that they were delicious :). I highly recommend hiring Meagan and her staff at Magnolia Grove to (at least) coordinate the day of activities, because not only was she absolutely professional, she was also someone that listened patiently to your thoughts and opinion, but was also not afraid to suggest something that would work better, even if it meant the business would go to someone else! Thanks for EVERYTHING, Meagan!!! - Diana and Piotr Stojda -

I had the pleasure of meeting Meagan last year before my wedding in October 2016. My husband and I hired two bar tenders thru her company and they were awesome! They stayed way past the time they needed to without any complaint, and were professional and personable. Even though Meagan was planning her own wedding at the time, she always made time to answer all of my questions and was very kind. I highly recommend her for any of your wedding needs! -

Using Meagan was the best value of our daughter's wedding. We live in Charlotte and the wedding was in Siler City. We hired Meagan as a day of the wedding coordinator. She and her staff were on top of everything. I could not have enjoyed the wedding without them. Thank you for making this a wonderful day for us all. I highly recommend them!!!! -

We hired Meagan to be our day of coordinator somewhat last minute in the wedding world. We only have about 6 weeks until the wedding and I decided that I wanted the day to be stress free and knew I needed to hire someone that could take care of details so that I could enjoy there big picture. Meagan took care of every detail from rehearsal dinner through the wedding. I am incredibly type A and planned the whole wedding, so handing it off was hard for me to do, but Meagan confidently took over the responsibilities and made each little detail go off without issue. By the time I arrived at each location every detail was taken care of and done with excellence. I even changed up a few things on the fly and Meagan took my crazy ideas and make them reality! I would highly recommend hiring Meagan and her staff to make sure your big day is as smooth and stress free as possible. Our wedding day was perfect (in large part to Magnolia Grove Weddings)! -

I met Meagan in college and I’ve had the opportunity to watch her create and grow her own wedding coordinator business. When I got engaged, I knew there was only one person I wanted to contact to help plan my special day. During the planning process, Meagan was able to meet with my mom, fiancé, and myself on several different occasions. For every question we had, she was able to give us suggestions or guidance, whichever we needed. While Meagan was scheduled for another wedding on our day, she had one of her assistants, Savannah, help us on our wedding day. I had also met Savannah in college, so I knew she would do a great job, just like Meagan. Savannah was there for our rehearsal and helped make sure we had everyone lined up correctly, on cue, and we even ran through the ceremony a couple of times. On the morning of, Savannah went to our reception venue (separate from the ceremony venue) and set out our centerpieces, lace table runners, and other decorations. I didn’t see them until I walked into the reception, it was absolutely perfect. She did awesome. She made sure the DJ was in the loop of when we were doing our dances, garter/bouquet toss, and sparkler exit. Savannah also worked well with the reception venue’s coordinator. Savannah was constantly moving and making sure we were on schedule. At the end of the night, she helped box up the gifts, decorations, and made sure we got everything that was ours from the venue. It was very nice to have Meagan and Savannah to lean on during the process and I was able to enjoy my day without stressing about decorations, other vendors, and making sure people were where they needed to be. Definitely recommend!! -

Having Meagan as our day-of coordinator for the wedding was an excellent decision. She was extremely kind, efficient, and dependable. We did a lot of DIY decorations and extensive planning to organize our wedding weekend, and Meagan stepped in and put it all together - with some help from our friends - in an excellent fashion. She ensured we stayed on schedule, sweetly served us food, and smoothly executed two room flips throughout the evening. Meagan was also available to answer several wedding-planning related questions leading up to the wedding and we sincerely appreciated her quick responses and valued her advice. Having a someone to be your point-person the day of the wedding is absolutely essential, and Meagan is just the person to fill this role! -

I was lucky to come across Meagan last year when searching for a day of coordinator. Even though I was having a smaller wedding of about 75-80 people I realized that having someone there on the day of to help make sure things went smoothly would be crucial to relieving some stress. Meagan did a great job of making that happen! She helped us through an efficient rehearsal process and checked on me throughout the day of the wedding. She did a great job of helping set up my decorations and even thought of some great last minute details to make the most of the flowers I ordered. She even rearranged some of the vases to make them look even better. Meagan also made all of the cake pops for the wedding and they were delicious and looked great with the theme and decorations. I would highly recommend working with Meagan to make your wedding day memorable and stress free! -

I am SO glad that we hired Meagan and Savannah to be our day of coordinators. Meagan helped plan our our wedding day schedule and took out her time to meet with us in person! They were both present for our rehearsal and I could tell immediately that they would have everything under control. Savannah was there for the wedding day and made sure everything ran super smoothly. She carried our schedule around with her and made sure everything was on time and that everyone was where they should be. I did not have to do anything on my wedding day except for enjoy the day and take time to pamper myself. This would have absolutely not been possible without these guys. I did not know how essential a day of coordinator actually is until we got close to our day. Luckily, Meagan was able to accommodate us and fit us in with little notice. I am eternally grateful for these two being able to make our day so perfect. -

Meagan did the day of coordination for my wedding and my cake! The cake was delicious and I couldn't have asked for a better day of coordinator. She subtly made sure everything happened on time, and quickly took care of any concerns I had that day. She even helped my mom go through the buffet line and get a plate for my grandmother (who is in a wheelchair). All at a price that was very affordable. I would recommend her to anyone. -

As a day-of coordinator Meagan was essential! She helped us set up and decorate the entire afternoon before the wedding, gave us her expertise on many subjects, coordinated with all the vendors and of course ran the show on the day-of. She brought the vision I had in my head of how I wanted the ceremony and reception to look to life, and then managed every little detail so it was perfect. I will always remember that not even one single thing went wrong on my wedding day (even though I expect something to!) and Meagan deserves much of the credit for that. -

Meagan was incredibly helpful the weekend of my wedding and played many roles to help us out! Originally we asked Meagan to just cater our day-after wedding breakfast for our out-of-town guests, but we ended up asking her to bartend our rehearsal dinner Friday night as well. Then 4 days before the wedding, I got a call from my day-of coordinator that her assistant was unable to help and while she would be okay without the second set of hands, she was still going to try to find someone. Meagan was able to help save the day by sending one of her girls, Tammy to come help my coordinator on the day of my wedding since she was unable to come that day. Tammy was great and I was really glad we had her set of hands to help everything go smoothly that day. I really appreciated Meagan's willingness to help us out with such short notice as well as doing everything else she did for us that weekend. The food at the breakfast on Sunday was awesome and on Friday night, she not just bartended, but also helped us cut and serve the groom's cake when my husband and I looked at the huge cake and weren't sure where to start cutting. Meagan, thank you for everything you did throughout our wedding weekend! You are wonderful! -

Meagan was outstanding. Being a bride can be a crazy experience and Megan made me feel not crazy. She showed up ready to do whatever was needed with a huge smile, great ethic and thoughtful care. She anticipated needs I didn't even know existed and right about the time I realized we needed something she already had it, or had talked to that person or arranged that thing. Basically she's magic. :) Not only did everything get done but we were actually able to enjoy the process and the day as a whole in all the ways we wanted too. Infinitely recommend. -

Meagan was just the person I needed for day of wedding coordination but she went above and beyond and was always right there when I needed her! And was also there to get specials shots along with the photographer. She was very knowledgeable and offered great advice when I needed it. She is very affordable and offers great service, i highly recommend her. She also baked our cake/cupcakes and they were so delicious and a great price as well- ask her about it :) -

Meagan made the cake and cupcakes for our wedding. We got so many compliments on how gorgeous and delicious they were. Our day would not have been the same without her. She was super flexible with the flavors of the cake and was able to communicate clearly with me, even though we were in different states. I would recommend her services to any and everyone!! -

Meagan was able to set up a consultation with me, and hand me over to someone she recomended. She also showed up the morning of my wedding at reception sight to help set up! So I had an extra set of hands.
I would recommend Meagan, as she knows what she is doing, and is very affordable!
Savanah was wonderful setting up my decor at my ceremony space and reception! I'm so thankful for her, as I did not stress at all the day of my wedding! Thanks to them both my wedding day was flawless -

Magnolia Collective made the wedding of our dreams!
We had the BEST time planning our wedding day with Magnolia Collective (MC). We unfortunately had some wedding venue "drama" along the way, and MC was so professional and helped address any concerns we had. I knew our wedding day was going to run like a well oiled machine, and I truly can't believe how perfect the day was. We did the partial planning package and it was definitely worth having that extra bit of planning support and onsite vendor visits. Highly recommend! :)-

Magnolia Collective in NC is the best!
Wedding planners can be an investment but in my experience, especially during Covid, it was more than worth it. I always imagined myself doing it all alone and not having professional help and assistance in planning my wedding but Covid made that near impossible. The Magnolia Collective saw my vision and helped to bring it to life. Not having to worry about the logistics on top of everyone's health and maintaining a small circle leading up to and during the wedding helped me keep sane during the whole process. Magnolia Collective has a great network of companies and vendors that meet whatever mood you want to achieve for your day. Meagan would always respond to my emails immediately and with a can do attitude no matter the issue at hand. The cherry on the top was Meagan's personality, she's extremely kind, easy going, and very positive which are so important for a wedding planner and one during Covid. I would recommend her and Magnolia Collective over and over, eyes closed. This is coming from someone that always thought she didn't need a wedding planner. -

I can’t say enough positive things about all the help that Meagan and her staff provided to us for my daughter’s wedding. She has been there for us from the initial planning until the very end. She has given us great direction and guided us all the way. I would highly recommend Meagan and her staff for all your event needs! -

I don’t know how you have a wedding without a day of coordinator! Meagan and Mandy were so amazing. They met with us before the wedding to ask about all the details and develop the timeline. They were there to answer questions I had, and communicate with vendors the weeks leading up to the big day, so that I could focus on other things. And Mandy (our DOC) was AMAZING. She was so nice, yet knew how to give direction. She made sure I felt calm, and handled all the issues without even telling me there were issues. The venue looked amazing, every detail executed perfectly. Everything came together even better than I had hoped and I’m just so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with such amazing people! -

Megan - Did not seem to care
1 thing she did right was kept the wedding day events on schedule which was important
Things she did wrong:
- prior to wedding day, did not ask us questions, was not engaged during wedding planning meetings (took them in the car), was rather distracted and the other vendors were answering our questions, not our wedding planner
- did not pay attention to detail or ask us questions or provide any guidance on vendors or tips before, during or after the wedding
- did not want to set up our wedding outside, with inclement weather concerns knowing an outdoor wedding was our dream, but we put our foot down and said if you have to do extra work, then you will do the extra work cuz that’s what we paid you to do. I remember thinking we would have to set up ourselves to get what we want on our wedding day
- did not give corsages to moms or grandmothers
- messed up name cards to the point where we just removed them altogether
- did not box up our wedding cake for us to take home
- did not keep our personalized wedding topper
- did not make a note that we wanted to have a private last dance, in fact she didn’t take any notes
- her mistakes cost $2,000+
- she did less than the bare minimum -
