Amazing experience, amazing team!
Hiring Morgan and her team is the best choice we made for our wedding! She is incredibly fun and personable and made us feel better every time we spoke, texted, or emailed. We never doubted her organization and Annie, one of Morgan’s team, is so helpful for details. Morgan and the MH Events team were our first hire, before picking a date or venue, They helped us to find and hire the best vendor team we could have imagined. When picking a venue, we saw a few locations, but loved the first place we saw with Morgan. It didn’t have any outside space, so she suggested that we use Hoyt Arboretum for the ceremony. Everything was perfect, or if anything went sideways on our wedding day – we didn’t have any idea! They worked tirelessly to give us the wedding of our dreams. Morgan is detail oriented and super fun to be around! We heartily recommend MH Events to other couples! -

If you are wondering if you need a wedding planner, book MH events!
We had an initial consultation with Morgan, the owner, but ended up working with Amy. Amy was fantastic. She knew our venue inside and out and was able to provide recommendations based on the space. Amy was always responsive and coordinated our wedding to perfection! We had a snafu the week of the wedding when our welcome sign and seating chart weren't as large as we had anticipated. Amy helped me immediately in coming up with a different game plan and change to our rentals. Our reception was set up exactly how we envisioned it. My fiance also built a robot as our ring bearer. Amy was able to help set up and put it away without any guests knowing the surprise. Amy and her colleague helped pack everything up and even made sure we went back to the hotel with some leftovers. Without a doubt we'd recommend Amy to any other couple getting married. Her vivacious personality is contagious and we felt like we were being supported by a dear friend. Thank you for making our day run so smoothly. -

Sarah Sent on 07/08/2022Amazing, magical, proactive wedding planner/therapist
Morgan & her entire team were absolute magic to work with, so on top of everything, and made our wedding day so much fun for us. Morgan is a great listener, super proactive, keeps things streamlined, and helped me stay focused on the important things during a really busy period of life (we also bought a home and brought home a puppy during our engagement). She is more than a planner--more like a friend and therapist lol. By the time we got to the actual wedding day, she knew my vision and was able to execute even with curveballs like extreme heat. She had seen it all before, we had prepared for it, and she knew exactly what to do to keep guests comfortable and the day moving. They also helped us pull off a lovely rehearsal dinner, beautiful signage, complex shuttle transportation for a destination wedding, and fabulous details like a 30-person chambong toast. Can't recommend her enough. Thank you so much!!!! -

If you are extremely detail oriented like myself you need to have Morgan be your planner. She was an absolute dream and made sure that every little detail about our mountain vineyard wedding played out on the big day exactly as we had planned. I cannot say enough good things about her and her team and words cannot express how grateful I am for her help in executing my vision. She made the process absolutely seamless in the planning stages, and was always accessible by email and text with quick responses, which made her feel more like a supportive multi-talented super friend than just a wedding planner alone. I still follow her on social media even though my wedding has passed as I just love all the great wedding info she provides. Thank you Morgan and the MH events team sooo sooooo much for everything! -

Hayley Sent on 06/01/2022Amazing wedding planner!
Hiring Morgan and her team was the best decision we made while planning our wedding. She was organized, detailed oriented and assisted all of the planning with my vendors prior to the wedding. On wedding day, she was always there to assist in big and small ways, she was calm when I was stressed, and always had a smile on her face. I would highly recommend MH Events to anyone getting married in Portland or surrounding areas. We love you, Morgan! -

Laura Sent on 05/13/2022The hype woman you deserve
I'm not even sure where to start...Morgan was our glue while planning our dream Oregon wedding from out of state. She was recommended by multiple people, and when we met with her over zoom, my husband actually said she HAD to be our planner before I even could!
She had worked with several of our vendors before, and we truly felt like we had the dream team. Whenever I needed help finding a category, she would give this over-researcher 3-4 options, which made it so much easier to make decisions. I felt like I could trust everyone even more because Morgan was at the helm and they all told me how lucky we were to have her.
Not only are Morgan and her team extremely competent, organized, and helpful, but the thing that sticks out most about Morgan is that she is FUN. She pumps life into the most stressful details, she shares incredible tips on her social media, she's goofy and reassuring and wise all at the same time. I also had a lot of tough life stuff happen in the last month before the wedding and she checked in on me like a friend, while taking things I couldn't do off my plate and reminding me that everything would be okay.
With MH Events, I not only felt like I had a planner, but a hype woman/cheerleader/best friend. That's exactly the type of planner I wanted and everyone deserves, and she was worth every single penny. I can't recommend this team enough, so if Morgan and her crew are available on your wedding date, consider yourself lucky and snag them asap! Whatever your wedding vision, they will execute it and have a damn good time while doing so. -

10/10 Highly Recommend MH Events
We had the best experience working with Morgan and the MH Events team!
We started planning our wedding a little later than what would have been ideal just due to not knowing exactly how the covid situation would look. It was a huge relief to be able to hop on several calls with Morgan and email back and forth to go over everything that we wanted for our big day. It's really easy to get stressed and overwhelmed while planning a wedding, but talking to Morgan always helped us enjoy the process more and assured us that we were in good hands and that everything would turn out perfectly. She was completely right and our wedding was better than anything we could have imagined.
Morgan is an expert in coordinating with vendors and knowing exactly what resources are needed to pull off your dream wedding. There were so many details that we could have easily forgotten without her guidance. She has a great reputation in the industry and has good relationships with all vendors in the area, which makes a huge difference in how seamlessly everything is communicated and organized.
With the help of the MH Events team, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day and everything was beautiful. We had multiple guests tell us our wedding was their favorite wedding they'd ever been to. Thank you again to MH Events. You all seriously rock! -

Morgan and her team were an absolute dream to work with!! We hired them as partial coordinators to support us in the home-stretch and they truly did take all the stress out of our big day. Everything was executed flawlessly and I am SO glad we worked with Morgan, she is worth her weight in gold!! -

My only wedding regret is not hiring Morgan sooner. We hired Morgan shortly after booking our wedding venue. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into and we are so glad we had Morgan every step of the way. She was our right hand/bestie/therapist throughout the whole wedding planning process. Morgan handled everything, from fielding guest questions, providing vendor recommendations, finalizing contracts, creating and managing the day of timeline, our photo booth, coordinating our rentals, setting up and cleaning up at the end of the night, she did it all! We could not have pulled off our wedding without Morgan. I know there were little catastrophes throughout the day, but I didn't hear about a single one, because Morgan took care of everything before I ever knew there was a problem. We are so grateful for MH Events and seriously cannot recommend Morgan and her team enough! Aside from her being exceptional at her job she's also just an exceptional human being and it meant a lot to us to have vendors who care about social justice and sustainability issues. Hiring Morgan was the best decision we made hands down, because hiring her influenced every other decision we made in the best possible way. Thank you Morgan for helping us create a day beyond our wildest dreams!! -

Michael Sent on 09/06/2021Amazing service, personalized to your needs
First and foremost, Morgan made us feel like wedding planning and coordination was in good hands and under control. Morgan gave out a positive vibe, making the (often stressful) process of wedding planning feel more fun. She was available and responsive when we needed her, and enormously helpful for making sense of timelines and priorities in our decision-making. Morgan also knows a lot of wedding-associated businesses in the Portland area, so she was ready to make choices for us on things we weren't picky about, and gave great recommendations (at a variety of price points) when it came to things we picked ourselves (such as hair & makeup people, alcohol vendors, etc.).
We cared a lot about COVID-related protocols for our wedding, and Morgan went the extra mile in making sure that our protocols were understood and adhered to (which we unfortunately cannot say of all of our vendors).
Overall, the cost of hiring Morgan was more than reasonable. She gave us an gave us ease of mind about the whole ordeal, and she put a lot of time and effort into our wedding, which paid off in the end. We are very glad we hired Morgan as our wedding coordinator. -

Hannah Sent on 08/12/2021Our wedding would not have been the same without MH Events
Morgan and her team were an absolute dream. We couldn't have asked for a better experience through the wedding planning process. She made us feel comfortable, gave us individualized attention, helped us make decisions but also gave us space to be creative, and she was an absolute bright light and positive presence throughout and very stressful wedding season. She was available for every text, every call, every random panic and never made us feel like she didn't have time for us.
Our wedding was the most incredible day and we owe it all to her. We felt relaxed, happy and like all we had to do was celebrate our love. our families, bridal party and wedding guests cannot stop raving about her either. BY FAR the best invested we made for our wedding. We cannot recommend Morgan and MH events enough, she's the best there is. -

Tyler Sent on 07/26/2021Wedding Planner Extraordinaire!!
Morgan and MH Events were amazing! Could not have asked for a better team when planning for a wedding. She was organized, helpful, kind, calm and made our entire wedding day the best day ever. I couldn’t thank her enough for helping us through COVID. Without her we would have probably canceled the wedding entirely, gotten none of our refunds back due to frustration, and we would have been so upset. Couldn’t recommend her more! -

Kristin Sent on 01/28/2021MH Events = Peace of Mind!!!
Morgan is a breath of fresh air, truly. If you choose to work with her, she will be like your super organized and fun, knowledgeable and experienced big sister. She will provide emotional support you didn't even realize you would need and her expertise and relationships within the industry are unmatched. Isn't it amazing to think about having a girlfriend in your corner who already has relationships with solid caterers, bakeries, photographers, DJs and décor places? Someone who will always give you options, remind you that you are in charge of your day, but share relevant experience so you have all the info to make informed decisions? That is who Morgan is. She helped me feel empowered and excited - which was a gift I cannot thank her enough for with all the pressure that can surround planning a wedding! You can't put a price on peace of mind.
If you are reading this and pondering A) if you should hire a wedding planner and B) if MH Events would be the right fit, I have some thoughts for you:
- Weddings are full of details. There may be some details that are super fun to think about and others (like where signage should go, are porta potties needed, how long of a power chord the DJ will need, who will tell the caterers when to start serving dinner, etc.) that are not so fun, IMHO. Having an amazing wedding planner allows you to go to town on playing with the details you care about, and not stress about other (equally important) ones that don't ring your bells.
- How do you want to feel leading up to and on your wedding day? Do you want to feel prepared, calm, and supported? Do you want to feel confident that you can have mushy emotional bride brain and things will still run smoothly? Isn't this a day that you want to be able to be in the moment, and have your loved ones also be in the moment versus appointing them to keep things together? (This was my original idea, to appoint a friend or family number to be the “go-to” person, but I realized I wanted them to be able to experience the day, not work the day.) For example, Morgan and her team (not my mom or bestie) can tell the parking attendant how to handle the overflow!
If you are on a tight budget, just know that MH Events is worth every penny. I would highly recommend shifting money from other vendors to make it possible to work with her if that is the boat you're in. Being able to email/text/reach out as the texts began to roll in with questions from friends and family was beyond what I can even describe in words. If you want an experienced and amazing friend in your corner throughout your wedding planning process (trust me - you do), Morgan is your gal. -

Morgan of MH Events is THE BEST EVER! Although we got the month-of package, in the year and a half of planning, she was always available to help with any questions we had, including vendor recommendations. Our wedding day goal was to be stress-free and present and that's exactly what we got with Morgan on our team. She was communicative throughout the whole process. Fortunately, we were able to keep our intimate wedding despite COVID but we never worried because Morgan reassured us she was on our side if we had to postpone. Thank you Morgan, for your knowledge, professionalism, amazing sense of humor, and overall fantastic attitude! -

Morgan has been immensely helpful to us in navigating this difficult time of having a wedding scheduled during COVID. She was calmly reassuing in helping us identify options and tradeoffs, and then did a lot of the leg work in helping reschedule our vendors and secure amended contracts. I can't wait to see what she's capable of on our actual day! I'd highly recommend MH events! -

Listen to me when I tell you, you need Morgan. Morgan and her team can help you with everything during the planning process, they are incredibly well connected and have an answer for every question. Morgan went above and beyond to help my husband and I have the most amazing day! We truly could not have done this without her and we are so grateful for her efficient and timely responses to our questions and her emotional support to help us through the stresses of planning a wedding. Thank you Morgan!!! -

Working with Morgan & her team was amazing! It felt like we were working with someone we had known for years. Morgan was always available and super responsive to our many questions and was so on top of all the details both leading up to the wedding & on the actual day itself. Her positive and friendly attitude made it really easy to work together and we literally couldn't have had the wedding we did without her and her team! -

Michelle Sent on 09/09/2019Couldn't imagine a better planner!
Morgan & team were absolutely fantastic. Of all the planners we spoke with, Morgan was the most caring, warm, and really understood what we were looking for right off the bat. Throughout the process Morgan also impressed us by being hyper organized, having incredible vendor recommendations & relationships, and flawlessly adjusting/adapting where needed. We're based in SF and were planning a wedding in Oregon, so we leaned on her heavily and she exceeded our expectations at every point. She's also just a great all around person. Couldn't recommend her & the team more highly! -

Mary Sent on 06/20/2019Absolute BEST Wedding Planner!
We are both from California and settled on a venue in Oregon to have a rustic, mini-destination wedding on a farm. As we were planning for a wedding out-of-state, we knew it would be essential to find a wedding planner who was trustworthy, responsive, familiar with the area and the venue, and would be excited about our wedding.
In Morgan, we found all four. We were immediately taken in by her engaging and energetic personality. We talked to other planners, but ultimately it was Morgan that we wanted to help plan our wedding and we were able to identify a plan and price that worked for us.
Morgan’s dedication to making our big day come true didn’t stop when we made the deposit. She identified great vendors that worked within our budget and spoke to us very honestly about her experiences with each. She also assigned us a great day-of coordinator, Sara Price. Morgan took the lead on making logistical arrangements with our vendors after we selected each one, put the timeline together, coordinated the rentals, and always checked in with us on final approvals or refinements needed. It’s also very clear that every vendor Morgan and her team has worked with LOVES working with them. They were all very excited once we mentioned who our wedding planner was and eager to be a part of the team. The only vendor we worked with without previous experience with Morgan was our caterer, and he was effusive in his praise for Morgan once they began to interact.
As the day got closer, naturally there was increased frequency of communication between us, our guests, and our vendors, and Morgan and Sara were always there to help us coordinate that. Our venue was largely new construction; but Morgan worked with our other vendors to help organize our walkthrough and help them adapt to the new and beautiful but unfamiliar area. She also helped us to make sure that there would be a contingency plan in the case of inclement weather. She seamlessly transitioned her work to Sara several weeks to a month before the wedding.
Any last minute requests at late hours of the night sent to Morgan/Sara were replied to expeditiously -- I was impressed with their responsiveness and ability to problem-solve so quickly.
On the day of, Sara was calm, poised, and professional. She knew exactly what needed to get done and was flexible with any changes in the itinerary or set-up, and was effective in herding the wedding party and family toward where they needed to be. I am used to being in control of every single detail -- but quickly realized that every question I had was already addressed. I felt completely confident taking a step back and letting her take the reins from the time I was getting ready in the bridal suite all the way throughout the ceremony, reception, and teardown. She placed all of our personal items into boxes, as requested during teardown, and all items were easily located the next day in the designated areas. All we had to do was enjoy being in the moment of our wedding weekend with each other, our family, and friends.
We would whole-heartedly recommend MH Events to anyone looking to plan a wedding in Portland or the surrounding wine country (regardless if you are local or remote to the area). Morgan possesses a trove of local knowledge, has a great rapport with vendors, and will work with you to make your vision come true within your budget -- we were so lucky to have found her! We will honestly miss working with her and Sara and will have to think of something else to plan just to work with them again. ;) -

Amy was communicative up until a few weeks leading up to the wedding at which point emails started taking days to hear back. On the day of the wedding a lot of minor details were missed or were handled incorrectly. Afterwards we sent an email containing feedback to Morgan and zero accountability was taken and we were actually told some issues were our fault. Overall I think Amy did a fine job leading up to the wedding but the day itself was managed poorly and the response to our feedback by Morgan was rather unprofessional. Amy and Morgan are lovely individuals but I cannot in good conscience recommend them to anyone else.
