  I mean just incredible.

  We hired Megan for the day of services and she was just wonderful. Although she was only hired for that day, she was open for questions throughout my planning process and very easy to get ahold of. Hurricane Helene cancelled our wedding plans in Boone, NC and had to move the entire thing to Winston-Salem last minute. Megan was easily willing to change plans and join us in Winston-Salem. She was incredibly professional the entire time. The rehearsal went off without a hitch and the entire wedding day was so seamless. If there were any issues throughout the day, I had no idea! Megan handled everything, so that I didn’t have to. So easy to talk to and bounce ideas off of. Most definitely would recommend!

  Mountain wedding

  Megan Drake, “The Elegant Event” wedding in beautiful NC mountains September 14, 2024.
  Megan was the best wedding planner! Everything was just what we wanted and dreamed it would be! Megan was always available and responded in a timely manner.
  She was able to guide us in selecting the best vendors which was extremely important since we live out of state. Megan coordinated meetings via zoom and in person when we were able to travel to NC. With her expertise she was able to make suggestions for the wedding and reception. Megan was professional and made sure every vendor knew their responsibilities and timeline for their activities. She oversaw every vendor and made sure everything was delivered on time and then made sure everything was returned and put away at the venue. Megan was at the rehearsal, wedding and reception from start to finish. Once the day of rehearsal came she took charge and made sure everything was coordinated and timely.
  Megan was so helpful and delightful to work with. Everything was perfect from start to finish!
  We are so glad we chose Megan as our wedding planner. She was the best!

  Stress free wedding day

  Megan and her team were wonderful to work with for our wedding. Megan was prompt with emails and very knowledgeable. She has many different levels of planning and we used partial planning. She was able to help us secure vendors and create our perfect wedding. The day of the wedding everything was perfect. The timeline she had made for the day was executed perfectly and we never felt rushed. The Elegant Event on our wedding day made sure everything went smoothly. The day was stress free. We cannot thank them enough for all they did to make our wedding day so special!

  Stress Free Wedding

  Megan Drake and her staff ensured that we had the most epic wedding day. From the very first day speaking with her my husband and I knew that she was the perfect fit for our destination mountain wedding at Overlook Barn. She helped us make decisions and provided us with a list of vendors and ensured that we never had to stress or worry about anything. She was very prompt with answering all my questions and concerns and helped to put me at ease during the entire process. During the wedding day Megan and her staff helped us have an easy and relaxing wedding that exceeded all our expectations. We did not have to worry about any details. We ended up having a small snow storm... and Megan and her team handled the change of plans impeccably. I would highly recommend Megan Drake for your next event, you will not be dissapointed.

  Top Notch, Professional Planner

  We hired Megan Drake and team from Elegant Events to assist with my daughters wedding on 8/26/2023 at Overlook Barn on top of Beech Mountain. Megan provided above and beyond every single thing promised and contracted for, and then some. Mountain top logistics can be a challenge and boy did they come through - experienced suggestions - detailed and thoughtful, professional execution. Wedding day was relaxing - seriously!! and beautiful - things ran like a top. Megan and team even bustled Cassie's dress for cocktail hour and reception (who knows where I was). Highest of recommendations for Elegant Events and Megan Drake. Almost (almost), wish I had another wedding to plan.

  A True Source for Your Big Day

  Megan and her team were able to execute our vision for our North Carolina Mountain wedding with seamless joy and intention. We were an out of town couple and Megan's vast experience helped make our wedding a reality. We leaned on and learned from her in many ways. Plus, our large wedding party and large family adored the opportunity to work with her. Our wedding was infinitely better because of her!

  Chetola Wedding November 2022

  If you need a competent, calm, and fabulous team, hire Megan! She is always on top of everything. She provides sage advice, but lets you control the day to ensure that it's exactly how you and your spouse want it to be. We had some weather issues (coming off Hurricane Nicole) and Megan was instrumental in helping us make a calm, informed decision. Megan and her team executed all the very special, small details perfectly. I could not imagine the day without her and her team!

  Wedding with bad weather

  The Elegant Event did a great job assisting in the planning of our wedding as well as the day of management. We got married in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in NC. By the time the ceremony started, the weather was awful and only got worse. The Elegant Event handled the situation beautifully and remained calm and organized the entire time. We had some changed the the schedule and curveballs throwing there and it did not faze them.

  Flawless from start to finish!

  Megan with Elegant Events was the sweetest person and extremely easy to communicate with. As a same sex couple, it can be difficult to find someone to work with who not only accepts you, but will also treat and help you like they would anyone else. Megan and her team far exceeded our expectations and made us feel so loved and supported. She was honest and gave some of the best advice and she also helped us in a time of crisis. We had so many questions about placement of certain things for the reception, since this was a destination wedding and we were planning a North Carolina wedding from Florida, and she instantly calmed our nerves by telling us to trust her that everything would be perfect and work out. Being able to trust her was super important, and at no time during the year-long planning process did we ever question her trust. If we wanted something to happen, she made it happen. Arrange a rainbow donut wall desert table? For sure! Set off 7 smoke bombs for a photo opportunity? Absolutely! She truly is amazing at what she does and we would recommend her to anyone. If you have the privilege to work with Megan and her team, jump on it, you will not be disappointed! Without her we wouldn't have been able to have the dream wedding that we had!

  Mountain Wedding

  I am still gushing to friends and family about the fairy tale that was last Thursday! Our wedding had a venue outdoors so we had to work with Mother Nature… Megan brought us all relief after quickly pulling together the vendors to be inside a tent when the temperature dropped at night. Most of all, Ihad no worries on the day of my wedding!
  Megan is kind, can multitask, is prepared for last minute changes and handles herself gracefully. She helped pull together the best night of our life. ☺️

  Best Wedding Team!

  Thank you! Megan for keeping us calm during the mix up at the church and ready with alternatives should we need to make a change! To ensuring the day went smoothly and keeping us all on track. Sarah, the set up of the space and s’mores bar was perfect! As was the entire venue space. And thank you for putting my mind at ease to the point that I was actually able to enjoy the day

  Stress Free Day!

  Megan and her team did an incredible job managing the planning, vendors, and timeline of our special day. Having Megan as our wedding day-of event coordinator allowed us to sit back and enjoy our wedding, while she seamlessly managed every detail in the background. She provided insight from her many experiences, and was able to help us navigate the replanning of our downsized wedding and venue layout during COVID. We were so thankful to have Megan and her team, and we would highly recommend The Elegant Event!

  the BEST wedding coordinator

  We had the BEST experience with Megan Drake from The Elegant Event. We originally booked Megan for a wedding in May and, due to COVID, pushed it to September. She was extremely flexible and we wouldn't have survived the wedding date change without her. Not only did she answer any and every question we had, she provided advice on how to improve safety during the pandemic and reached out to other vendors to ensure they knew all the details for the day of. On the day of the wedding, she took care of every single question we, and other vendors, had and made sure things went smoothly. I cannot recommend The Elegant Event enough- worth every penny!!!

  Incredible!

  Megan from The Elegant Event was incredible to work with. I knew from the first phone call that Megan was the right person to help with my wedding coordinating needs. She was so kind and answered all of my questions so quickly! We had to adjust our wedding plans from 100+ guests to only 15 due to COVID19, and she made sure every detail was still exactly what we wanted and envisioned. On the wedding day, her and her team made everything go so smoothly! I can't recommend The Elegant Event enough!

  LOVED my experience!

  I am very much a type-A personality and I thought that would carry over into my wedding planning. What I found instead was that I had a crippling anxiety and decision fatigue that made me feel so overwhelmed and not know where to start.
  
  Enter Megan and her team. From my first conversation with her, I KNEW she was the one to help me with this process. I lived in a different state and didn't meet her until halfway through my planning, but she was incredibly helpful and always available to answer my questions. More importantly, she was always willing to talk to my parents, who in all honesty, did a lot of the planning and legwork for me. She answered their call every time they had a question and wanted to bounce ideas off of, even meeting in person several times since they are local.
  
  When she found out partway through my planning stage that she was pregnant, I was honestly nervous. Who would be there on my big day? Everyone recommended The Elegant Event specifically because they thought Megan and I would click. I was so nervous but Megan's team was amazing on the big day.
  
  Wedding planners/coordinators are expensive, but The Elegant Event was worth EVERY PENNY.

  Charlie's Angels Have Nothin' On You...#dreamteam

  On October 12th, we had the wedding of our dreams and I cannot imagine our day without the Elegant Event team. We booked them as our day-of-coordinators and it was the best decision we ever made! During the planning portion of our wedding, we had ongoing communication with Megan Drake. Our wedding venue was near Boone, NC but we had to plan our big day all the way from Boston, MA. This process was seamless thanks to Megan! You guys, her knowledge, professionalism, reliability and down-to-earth nature are everything you need in an excellent wedding planner. Megan will go above and beyond for you! That’s just who she is. Days after giving birth to her beautiful baby girl, she was at our rehearsal to make sure everything went smoothly. Can you believe that?
  
  On our big day, the day-of-coordinators, Liz and Lara, were phenomenal! They took such good care of us – physically and emotionally! They handled all the little details and were in ongoing communication with our vendor team. We did not have to worry about a single thing and had the time of our lives! Charlie’s Angels have nothing on them! Absolute dream team! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, ladies! ☺

  Amazing!!!

  Megan and her team did an amazing job. I hired her for my “day of” coordinator but she was available to speak via email and on the phone leading up to the wedding. She also attended all my meetings with my wedding venue. She did not work my wedding herself but two of her talented team members did. The day was so smooth and flawless! I’ve never been to a more well executed wedding and I get to say that about my own. If you’re questioning getting a planner, do it! The Elegant Events services were worth every penny!

  Absolutely the best!!

  Megan Drake is an absolute angel! We hired Megan for a "Day of" wedding planner and she was worth every penny. She took charge and handled every aspect of my daughters day so we could enjoy every moment of it. It was supposed to be an outdoor wedding and it started to rain and get windy... just two hours before the ceremony. She simply asked if we'd like to move it indoors and then completely changed everything to perfection. She is more than capable and needs only to be left to work her magic! The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect and my daughter never even noticed the difference, in fact, she said it turned out better than what she imagined. We can't thank Megan and her staff enough! They were a MUST for the overall success of the wedding.

  Provides Structure and Grace

  Megan was a wonderful planner for our wedding. I am so happy we chose her. We found her services through Wedding Wire and The Knot as a highly recommended Boone, NC area wedding planner. When I think of how to describe her work, three words come to mind: Peace of mind. She will put you at ease if there are any complications, she'll answer any questions you have in great detail, and most importantly keep you on track during the planning process. She also responds well to quick changes of plan and is able to keep you calm yet on track of the timeline as you enjoy your wedding day. She is very accommodating and professional. Highly recommend.

  A Grateful Bride and Groom

  I'm writing this review because Megan deserves SO MUCH PRAISE for all her hard work. She was always so kind, responsive, helpful, and supportive throughout my wedding planning process AND wedding day. It felt like a dream the whole time, and it was the kind of dream that wouldn't have been a reality without Megan. I am not only grateful for her expertise, but for her friendship as well. I have been referring Megan like crazy since Mark and I got married. I was actually referring her to others BEFORE our wedding day simply because of the service I was receiving! Overall an awesome experience. Mark and I continue to brag about her and keep in touch with her. THANK YOU MEGAN, YOU ROCK!!!
