Megan R. Sent on 02/16/2023Best Wedding Planner!
I cannot recommend Megan enough for her amazing work in planning our wedding. From the very beginning, Megan made it her mission to understand our vision and worked tirelessly to bring that vision to life! Her attention to detail, organization, and all-around expertise in the industry made the planning process so much smoother and stress free. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! Hiring her was hands down the best decision my mom and I made early on in our planning. Thanks to Megan, I had the wedding of my dreams!!! -

Hiring Megan was the first thing I did after getting engaged and was the right decision! She made the wedding planning process feel so organized, low stress, seamless and fun! People kept telling me how "not stressed I was" and I definitely attribute this to Megan's support and hard work. My wedding was everything I dreamed of and more and went so so smooth thanks to Megan! -

Donna Sent on 08/27/2018I actually thought my daughter and I would handle her wedding without professional help. It would be fun, right? I am so glad I listened to a friend who recommended hiring a wedding planner for at least the “day of” . It was clear early in our first meeting with Megan that we were over our skis and made the decision to hire her on the spot. Best investment that we made. Megan made Alyssa’s wedding her dream come true. From floral, rentals, hair and makeup vendor recommendations, we had nothing but perfection. Megan is very experienced, professional and has a great eye for detail but most importantly, she kept us all calm from beginning to the end.
I highly recommend Megan and can’t wait for another opportunity to work with her.NSWE Events's reply:
What a sweet review! I adored working with you and Alyssa and was so happy to see this lovely wedding day. Best to you and your family! -

User1860442 Sent on 10/13/2014I have to admit I was skeptical when my mom thought we should get a wedding planner, as we had our vendors mostly in place and I thought the day would be rather simple. Oh my gosh was I wrong. Megan was SO NECESSARY. We would not have had the smooth, stress free wedding without her guidance and help. Megan is so professional, so organized, always in touch, thinks of things we never would have thought of, and really was a godsend. Our vender switched event managers on us and the new woman was a disaster- Megan saved the day and made sure everything was how we wanted it. I totally trusted her judgement to deal with minor things as they came up and felt like i was constantly saying "i don't know, what would you do if it was your wedding?" because it's so helpful to have someone who had seen so many weddings and understands how different choices affect the day.
I would highly recommend Megan and North Shore Events, it will absolutely be money well-spent. -
User1766696 Sent on 08/16/2014Megan sat with us and saw the vision we laid out and perfectly coordinated every detail from the tent, to the flowers, the seating arrangements and the personal touches that everyone who attended will forever remember. Our "from scratch" backyard wedding could not have happened (and have been PERFECT) without Megan. She is incredible, professional, and LOVES her business. We could not have asked for anything else from her! -
User1853641 Sent on 10/08/2014We used Megan and NSWE for our July wedding in Glenview/Park Ridge. We hired Megan for the month-of-coordination, as opposed to the full wedding planning package, primarily because we were planning the wedding from out of town.
While the specific benefits that Megan provided are too innumerable to list, I'll briefly describe what we told everyone else who asked about our decision to hire a coordinator: it was the difference between an incredibly fun, relaxed wedding day, versus a stressful day that we would have to manage ourselves. My wife and I did all the foundational planning ourselves, and about 6-8 weeks before the wedding turned over all the vendor relationships to Megan.
A few key takeaways:
1) I would not be surprised if Megan and NSWE cover their own cost in savings they can get from vendors, particularly if you use them for the more extensive planning packages. This was the case for us with the transportation planning that Megan did.
2) We didn’t want to burden ourselves or parents with logistical planning on the day-of, and NSWE absolutely accomplished that goal for us 100%.
3) Despite not hiring NSWE for the full wedding coordination, Megan was an incredible asset to us at every point in the process (long before the actual month-of) and was extremely responsive throughout.
And 4) Megan helped immensely by being our advocate with vendors and also family members, helping to communicate our wishes when it would have been difficult for us to do so.
Final recommendation: The month-of coordination was easily some of the best money we spent on the entire wedding in terms of making it an enjoyable experience. We’ve all heard horror stories about the stresses that come up on the big day and we had zero of those, despite fully expecting them. Megan and NSWE made that possible.

User1305471 Sent on 08/28/2013I cannot say enough good things about Megan of North Shore Weddings and Events! She is extremely organized, professional and knowledgeable. I hired Megan about a month and a half before my wedding (wedding date: 8.24.13) when I started to feel like all of the many details of wedding planning were becoming too much for me to handle on my own.
Megan answered all of my questions and offered creative solutions to help me have the wedding of my dreams without breaking the bank. She served as a liaison between me and my wedding vendors and also as an advocate when wedding vendors tried to upsell things that weren't necessary. She created a timeline for us and for our vendors so that everyone could stay organized and on track.
She also helped with DIY touches that gave the reception an elegant but personal feel.
Megan took a lot of the stress out of wedding planning. I really felt like I was able to attend my wedding as a guest and enjoy myself because Megan was taking care of EVERYTHING behind the scenes. She truly went above and beyond to help me have the wedding of my dreams. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner! -
