Jade Sent on 06/11/2021Smoothest wedding day EVER
I was the MOH for my best friend’s wedding in May. During planning Megan drove to us to meet in person and really got to know the vibe of the wedding. She’s an incredible human being with the most amazing sense of empathy and radiates REAL love. She put us at ease with every step. Having had the wedding pushed back from Covid, a lot was going wrong. Megan and her team and every vendor Megan recommended to us was well worth every penny. The actual wedding weekend at The Preserve at Chocorua was one of the smoothest wedding weekends I’ve ever been apart of. No drama. No major incidents. Knowing Megan was there in control made the stress levels go down 100%. Her team was fabulous. Loved every single person she recommended- Amanda from On The Rocks bar tending, Sue from Susan Donovan Photography, and Jay from La Bella and the Beat 👏🏼 WONDERFUL PEOPLE. They made the big night even more fun. 10000%!!
If you’re planning a wedding at a venue that’s NOT all inclusive (ie you need to find food, music, decor…) I would HIGHLY recommend Willow Tree Events to help you plan. Megan’s got the hook up. She makes literal MAGIC HAPPEN. 🤘🏼 -

For a stunning wedding with many “moving parts”, go with Willow Tree! Megan is the best!
We knew our daughter’s NH wedding was going to be a complicated, detail-heavy event, a 3 day affair, built “from scratch”, with multiple venues and guests coming from all over the US and England. We live on the West Coast; so we wanted someone who was “on the ground.” We knew we needed a very special planner. After interviewing 7 planners, including top Boston outfits, and checking references, we chose Megan and her team, and we are glad we did. Megan has the experience, knowledge of the area, attention to detail, trained staff, and interpersonal skills to resolve the many issues that arose. She immediately grasped the bride and groom’s priorities and aesthetic and helped to implement them throughout the process. She guided us carefully though every decision, every detail, including last minute changes. (Our “run of show” was 17 pages long.) No problem was too big or too small. Several vendors told us we were lucky to have her as our planner. The wedding was a smooth and stunning rustic-elegant affair. The small hiccups that inevitably happen at big events were quickly and quietly addressed by Megan and her able staff due to their meticulous planning for every contingency. Some highlights: she encouraged us to hire a terrific day-of dresser, who was a huge help to the bride and the whole wedding party. She recommended the best wedding band. At the 11th hour, she helped design and execute the coolest, most original, modifiable reception seating chart. She coordinated a complicated transportation and parking plan. Her husband drove the bride and groom in a boat! She helped integrate a New Hampshire character. She even arranged for perfect weather! She is simply the best. -

Molly Sent on 01/09/2023An ESSENTIAL and integral part of any Wedding Weekend
I’ll start out by saying I am a very organized type A person. If I could do the wedding weekend over, I would 100% hire a wedding planner (specifically Megan) every time.
We were on the journey of planning the best NYE wedding weekend ever for over 2 years together (shout out covid) after deciding not to elope. And although the weekend is now over (I knew it), my husband and I are blessed with a lifetime of recapping the best weekend ever with friends and family.
From the moment I followed our venue on instagram, it was clear that Megan was THE wedding planner to go with and WOW did she deliver. She orchestrated the best weekend of our young lives and brought all of our hopes and dreams to reality, including our Flannel / Italian Rehearsal dinner and Welcome Party and Espresso / Martini Bar dreams as well.
We quickly realized that weddings are competitive and Megan has the connects! We didn’t realize how important that was when entering the scene. And these connections were well versed with our venue and with each other, which made things run easier and smoother the day/weekend of.
She helped us connect with basically our entire vendor team: DJ, Lighting, Catering & Bar, Hair & Make Up, Videographer, Rentals, Espresso Bar, Weekend Sandwiches, along with liaising with our venue and getting them what they needed.
She anticipated every next move and we worked together seamlessly. I'm going to miss sharing Google Docs, playing with the rentals, venue visits, and demanding her to tell me I’m her favorite bride ;)
She’d find out what was needed, check the cost with me, and I’d venmo her which was extremely helpful and efficient. And now she's even helping with reselling some linens to new couples, incredible!
She ran a tight ship on the actual night!! Everything went flawlessly. When everyone inevitably started to field their questions towards me, she intercepted them gracefully and diverted that overwhelming energy away from me.
I still can't believe it's over. I wish I could book Megan again and again and again. Endless thanks and gratitude! Highly recommend Megan and her flawless and amazing team! -

Both sets of parents as well as my husband and I 110% recommend using Megan and Willow Tree Events for your wedding planning services. She was ready, willing and able to jump in head and heart first to any question, task or request we had for her. We always received prompt, organized communication. Her knowledge of the vendors in the area is unparalleled and her tight knit, loyal team knows how to prepare for a wedding weekend. Megan not only prepped and planned our gorgeous wedding day; she supported an entire weekend of events for our closest friends and family. She coordinated A LOT behind the scenes and made sure to limit stress on the big day. No fire too big to put out, no lake too big to swim across…. Basically she will go to any length to make sure your wedding is exactly if not BETTER than you had dreamed of. Megan you’re changing the world… one couple at a time! Thank you! -

What can I say about Megan and her Team that would do our experience justice?
Simply SPECTACULAR!!
I knew Megan when we were kids and since then followed her on social media and have watched from afar as Willow Tree Events planned the most beautiful weddings. When I got engaged, one of the first things, I did was reach out to Megan to inquire about her planning my wedding.
They say some people are born to do certain jobs and well, Megan was born to plan weddings. From answering my millions of questions, none too big, none too small, to giving me her honest feedback and advice, I felt at home with Megan. I felt she truly wanted the best wedding for me and my now husband and that this truly mattered to her.
Now, not only is Megan amazing but her staff is also amazing. They all had a way of making me feel like they were my best friends. They tended to every need I had, checked in with me, and helped me to make a very difficult wedding rain decision in the final moments ahead of the ceremony. At one point during our ceremony, I semi-yelled out “oh no, I forgot about Douglas!” We had our golden retriever as part of our special day, and he was located inside the estate. Megan tapped me on the shoulder and told me not to worry, her staff had been checking in on him every hour; letting him out, playing with him, and making sure he had fresh water. Megan and the Willow Tree staff were never asked to do this but, they knew it was important, so they just did it anyway.
My family and friends still talk about my amazing wedding planner and how I couldn’t have done this without her, and her team and they couldn’t be more correct. I would work with Willow Tree for any event, any wedding, really for anything. If you’re looking for top notch, Megan and her team are the way to go!!

When you look at your groom in the middle of dinner and say, “I don’t know how we would have pulled this off without WillowTree?” you know you did the right thing by hiring them! Working with Meg was a joy from the beginning to end. She was our month of planner, but helped connect us to vendors and gave us recommendations well before the month of. She went above and beyond, scheduling calls and emailing us when she had COVID, even when we urged her not to! Meg loves what she does and she is very very good at it. She thought of things we didn’t think of, like what were we going to have for lunch the day of the wedding and did we want to do a first look with my dad. The little touches that Meg suggested made our day even more perfect and seamless, and the big stuff we just knew she had handled which let us really enjoy our day. We had a donut delivery snafu and someone from her team picked up and delivered our donuts and donut wall display basically last minute which saved the day. Meg, we love you and your team for going above and beyond and making our day even better than we could have imagined!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -

Laura Sent on 07/13/2021The Best!!
For all couples out there wondering if you should hire a planner, I can not stress enough if you hire Willow Tree Events it will be the best decision you make!! Wedding planning is stressful, especially with a pandemic thrown into to the mix.
Working with Meg helped us remain hopeful that we would eventually have the wedding of our dreams, even if it meant making changes along the way. In a time of uncertainty, Meg stood up to the challenge for us as a couple and truly proved she is the best around with her compassion, her unparalleled knowledge of the wedding industry, and ability to pivot to make sure we had a wedding above and beyond what we could have ever envisioned.
We ended up postponing our Early 2021 wedding, and within a week Meg had moved everything to June 2021. She is a rockstar!!!
Meg was always a quick call or text away, and even though I know she works with many couples-Meg has a way of making you feel like the most important couple in the world.
Leading up to our wedding she went out of her way to take time to meet in person, do event walk throughs, and answer our sporadic last minute questions.
Above all, Meg is truly the salt of the earth. We don’t consider her a vendor, she has become a true friend and that in itself speaks to the amazing person behind Willow Tree Events. -

Couldn't have done it without her!
Megan is amazing! During our entire planning process she was there to answer any questions, she provided recommendations, and was timely with her communication. In the weeks before the wedding, she walked the venue with us, went thru every detail of our day and coordinated everything with each vendor. On the day of, her and her team really went above and beyond in making sure everything was perfect and that the day flowed smoothly. They even helped make sure our dog could be in our ceremony and transported him back and forth to the kennel.
Megan is someone that any couple can trust with their big day. She is a joy to be around, has a calming presence and overall is just a great person.
Thank you Megan for making sure that our day was everything we dreamed of! -

My husband and I are chefs and work in events. When we first started this two year planning journey I was like I got this!!! But we are not super heroes. Megan is! I felt like from day one we were connected. She helped me through out the whole planning process. Day of our wedding went so smoothly. Normally I obsess over the details but I felt confident in Megan's ability. It took so much pressure off of us to be able to enjoy our big day. Family members came to me and said how amazing she is, it is the truth!!! I am greatful for all of her help and couldn't have done it without her! -

Aubrey Sent on 01/24/2017It was a last minute decision to hire a day of coordinator and it was the absolute best decision, not only to hire just anyone but Megan from Willow Tree Events.
We hired her thinking it was worth the money because she was able to help set up decorations, make sure things were running smoothly while we were doing our photography, make sure our vendors were all set, line up the woman and cue us all to walk down the aisle, and then some. We did not want to be bombarded with any last minute questions or decisions during the wedding.
However, she became beyond invaluable when there was a major unexpected crisis dealing with another company in the same location as our reception. I had no idea anything was wrong until after the day was over. She handled everything with grace and kindness allowing my husband and me to enjoy our day.
Megan was the perfect touch to our day. We were absolutely blessed to have her there. -

Seija Sent on 01/23/2017We cannot say enough good things about Megan and her staff at Willow Tree Events! Not only were they fabulous during all of the planning stages but also an absolute blessing to have on the day of! With one vendor that seemed a little wishy-washy the day before the wedding, we were completely put at ease that it would be handled regardless of how it played out. Luckily he showed and all was well and Megan made sure to keep things in line! It DID however decide to rain that morning and with it being an outdoor ceremony we were a little sad that we had to use our backup space. Not only did they make the backup space beautiful, everyone commented, once they realized that it was not the original ceremony location, that they liked it better than what our original plan had been! As a bride that is by nature a DIY/ crafter, and having helped plan, decorate, make flower arrangements, boutonnieres, cakes and the like; I knew that I needed someone that I could trust and who would understand my vision. We hit it off from the very first time meeting and both my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day without worry about all the details!
