Weddings Made Splendid

There are literally not enough good things I can write here about Meaghan, Star and the entire Weddings Made Splendid team. But especially Meaghan, who literally took on my wedding as my DOC and brought it all together the day/month of beyond my wildest dreams. If you get married without her, you are doing yourself, your wedding and your guests a huge disservice, and I genuinely mean that.

I got married in January of this year and had about 16 months of planning, crafting and inspiration done on my own. Meaghan and the team came in and basically made sure the entire event ran smoothly. She took away a great deal of stress about the timeline (which was SOOO detailed and minute by minute I might add), the ceremony, the decor and the flow of the night. In the beginning of wedding planning, because I was so detail oriented and loved planning, I was thinking I didn't need a DOC, I would just ask friends/fam, etc. But, I was so wrong. I have now become a believer, like all the others that told me, their biggest regret was not hiring a DOC, and please let me tell you Meaghan is the best one you can find. I came to her office with bins and bins and boxes of handmade intricate details and she took all of this, organized it into FIVE pages of detailed instructions and made the wedding of my dreams come true. The day of my wedding was literally the BEST DAY EVER and I owe a great deal of that to Meaghan. I honestly and truly believe that if you do not hire her as your planner/DOC/organizer/stress reliever/right hand gorgeous lady your wedding is going to be mediocre at best!

She is also adorable and has a fabulous sense of style and great taste. My mom, my hubs and even all my guests adored her, as do I! I will be recommending her to all my friends, my family and even strangers!

We hired Meaghan for the “month of” coordination services 3 months before our wedding and she went above and beyond our expectations.

Meaghan was extremely flexible in coordinating our event and had the additional challenge of us being from the east coast (time zone differences, unable to do certain items in person, etc). We randomly chose some coordinators and after my fiance met with her, determined that her level of professionalism and vested interest in our event placed her above the other candidates. Meaghan was honest, she laid out all the options, and shared previous experiences of other clients to ensure we were the most informed when it came to making final decisions. Meaghan truly has your event and the success of it at heart. She is very approachable and you feel like you have known her for a while - even if you haven't met her yet! She answered all of our NUMEROUS emails and even those few panicked phone calls (when we were a little overwhelmed) immediately. Her experience was evident in the smooth operation of the entire event. And although it is her job...she definitely kept us coordinated (with gentle reminders) and on track ensuring all the pre-wedding work (contracts, deadlines, etc) was finished in plenty of time. We also had some unique requests for our timeline of the event and in the decorations of the venue. She took to heart learning about our specific themes and interests and quite simply, made it happen! I highly recommend her services - you won't be disappointed!

We absolutely loved Starr, from "Weddings Made Splendid." She did a fantastic job at our daughter's wedding. I have to confess that, in the beginning, I had to be talked into even the concept of having a wedding coordinator - I mean, how hard could it be to plan everything yourself? But let me tell you now, there is a TON of things that require your undivided attention on your wedding day, and it was so great not to have to worry about any of them, thanks to Starr. The wedding was so perfect, and it was so wonderful to be in the moment of the day, and not to have to worry about anything. Coordinating a wedding requires a professional!

We hired her for the month of, and she kept us on track all the way to the wedding day. She was very friendly, and we felt very comfortable with her relaxed, confident personality. But most of all, she was organized. She kept track of all the things that needed to be done and the time line of the wedding. She provided so many great suggestions about all the little details that we never thought of. Starr was so helpful at the rehearsal - lining everyone up in the right order when we weren't quite sure, and getting them to wait for their cue. She did all the set up of the reception herself, and asked questions about everything if she wasn't quite sure.

Who knew how to really lace up a corset dress? Starr did - and fast too. Who sewed the button back on a groomsman's jacket? Starr, of course. She was always in the backround offering lots of help. It was great to put our daughter's wedding in her hands and just enjoy the day. If there were any problems, we are not aware of any of them. The wedding was magical and perfect, and Starr made all the difference. She was amazing!

Let me start by saying I have been planning my wedding since I was 6 years old, so I never thought I would want/ need a wedding coordinator... But hiring Meaghan was the best decision I made when it came to the wedding (besides saying yes to the groom of course!)

I cannot say enough fabulous things about Meaghan and Weddings Made Splendid! I had many wonderful vendors for my wedding, but Meaghan gave me a peace of mind that no money can buy.

Everything others have reviewed about her has been correct- she is friendly, professional, organized, responsible, and so detail oriented- characteristics that are imperative when one is spending money for a coordinator. I wanted to do most of the planning myself, so I hired her for the month of to tie together all the loose ends. Being from out of town, it was great to have her there, especially during the last week before the wedding when I was trying to entertain out of town relatives. She had contacted all my vendors well in advance so I only had her contacting me instead of a million separate vendors. When I met with her to do the final walk through, I only explained my "vision" once and when I got to my reception site, everything was exactly as I had envisioned!

Our wedding day was perfect and relaxing! When we returned from the honeymoon, I heard that a few major things had occurred with some of the vendors, but I had no clue as Meaghan had dealt with everything discreetly so as to not ruin our day. Even my father (who is somewhat "cheap" and thought it was ridiculous that I wanted him to pay for a coordinator) actually admitted the day after the wedding that she was well worth the money (a HUGE admission on his part).

This review does not do Meaghan justice- I wish I could emphasize more how wonderful she is and how hiring Weddings Made Splendid will be the best money you spend for your wedding!!!

When a friend brought up the idea of hiring a wedding coordinator for our upcoming nuptuals, my initial reaction (as a compulsive DIY'er) was that I could plan the wedding and just handle everything on our wedding day as well. As I progressed into wedding planning, I realized there was no way I could take on day-of-coordination and still have time to enjoy my wedding day; I decided to meet with Meaghan to hear what she had to offer. I was so impressed after our first meeting and after having the pleasure of working with Meaghan, my opinion of hiring a wedding planner has completely changed. Meaghan's attention to detail, love of spreadsheets and floor plans, advice on every wedding-related question imaginable, follow-through and quick response to my many emails truly wowed me. Our wedding day ran so smoothly, everyone had a great time and we avoided many potential hiccups thanks to Meaghan's help. She was a delight to work with!

Starr did a wonderful job as our wedding coordinator, and we highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. She met with us on multiple occasions, listened to our ideas, made thoughtful suggestions and did a great job coordinating all of our various vendors and finalizing the floor plans and set up. We had a very tight timeline and there were only had a couple of hours for set up just prior to the ceremony. Starr pulled this off wonderfully and we didn’t have to worry about a thing the whole day. Thanks to Starr, our day turned out even more wonderful than we had imagined.

If you find yourself in the market for a wedding coordinator and Meaghan Schmaltz isn’t available on your wedding date, then I strongly advise you to change your wedding date. You can agonize endlessly over florists, photographers, bakeries and venues, but there’s nothing – in my opinion – that ensures the perfect wedding like a first-rate wedding planner. If you are skeptical, consider this well-known truth: for every wedding detail you think you’ve got covered, there’s at least ten that you haven’t even thought of. A good wedding planner has these myriad details “in the can,” plus more; and if she’s truly exceptional, you’ll feel as though the entire process of planning your wedding moves effortlessly and seamlessly from the early harrowing stages of picking stationery and a DJ through the culmination of all your decisions on your wedding day. Hiring a wedding planner is like getting insurance for your wedding day and, chosen correctly, it is worth every penny. Looking back at our wedding, my husband and I are most impressed with our decision to engage Meaghan over other wedding planners; she had just a handful of reviews on Yelp, which would typically be a red flag to veteran Yelpers like us, but after a 30-minute interview with her we cancelled our appointments to meet with the other candidates because we truly believed we’d hit the jackpot. We were right.

Meaghan had her work cut out for her from the beginning. My fiancé and I lived in different cities and time zones, neither of which was the location of our wedding venue, vendors or Meaghan, for that matter. We were aiming for a lush, romantic and luxurious-themed ceremony, but were operating under an inflexible budget. We wanted a non-military ceremony, but also wanted to include certain military embellishments in honor of my fiancé’s service as a naval aviator. Most significantly, we knew what we didn’t want but were far less clear on what we did. These factors alone would’ve been challenging for any wedding professional to reconcile, but Meaghan took everything in stride as if she’d done it a hundred times before. Communicating almost exclusively by E-mail could have been terribly inefficient and totally unpleasant if she hadn’t been so responsive and so complete. Whether I asked one question or four, Meaghan answered them all and usually within the space of a couple of hours. She proactively liaised with our vendors, took copious notes, made rigorous checklists and kept records of every piece of correspondence for her files. Pragmatic but a romantic at heart, she encouraged our creativity but was never shy about offering guidance where it was clear we needed some. Best of all, Meaghan was consistently courteous, warm and client-oriented. If I hadn’t asked, I never would have guessed she was juggling several other weddings while she was planning ours. Remarkably, she always made us feel as though we were her only client. If that doesn’t speak for good service then I don’t know what does!

But the true test of a wedding planner’s mettle is The Catastrophe. Two days before the wedding, a power outage of unprecedented magnitude rendered the entire city of San Diego and vast surrounding areas without electricity. I recall vividly sitting at home in my sweatpants and breathing into a paper bag when I picked up a voicemail from Meaghan, assuring me that everything would be ok. Had the reassurance come from anyone else, I would’ve balked, but Meaghan’s words meant the show would go on.

Our wedding day came and went, and thankfully, not only did we have electricity, but we had every other imaginable good fortune – impeccable weather, exquisite flowers, beautiful music and happy guests. It was absolutely magical. When it came time to thank our parents at the reception, my fiancé and I could not help but mention Meaghan. She was far and away the best investment we made in that event, and our gratitude to her extends to the present day. If you have the opportunity to book her, do so, and you will not be disappointed.

We got married at The Thursday Club in Point Loma on July 9th. We had a beautiful wedding. Meaghan made everything run so smoothly, and she was very nice. We don't know what we would have done without her! Meaghan picked up on a lot of details we missed, and her and Starr were great with our guests at the wedding. She even created computer diagrams for our tables and ceremony seating. On top of that, she went through our contracts with a fine-toothed comb and found several things we hadn't thought about that were crucial details for the wedding day. We highly recommmend Weddings Made Splendid!!

Meaghan Schmaltz was an absolute dream to work with. She made our wedding day and month leading up to the big day seem so organized and I can't imagine having to sort through all the little details ourselves. We still talk about the fact that it was one of the best decisions we made with the wedding.

She just jumped in and took control of the situation providing recommendations and advice along the way. After our first meeting, she was able to pick up on our style and was such a pleasure to work with.

I wasn't sure at first if I was going to use a wedding planner, since we were trying to keep within a budget. I can honestly say that our decision to use a wedding planner made all the difference in the world. Our decision to go with Meaghan was worth every penny and more! After several weeks of research, they not only were the most affordable, but the quality of service far succeeded what we paid for.

She helped me with the month of services as well as on our wedding rehearsal and wedding day. I couldnt have done it without her. I have a pretty crazy schedule with work and she was able to meet me around my schedule. She spoke to all the vendors prior to wedding and had them where they needed to be, answering all their questions. She had diagrams of both the ceremony and reception locations done and to me the day after we met at each location. She worked through several last minute situations we had and we even changed reception locations the last month. She always got back to me immediately with answers or suggestions to the many questions and concerns I had.

My family and friends all pulled me aside at different times praising Meaghan for the behind the scenes work and how extremely organized and patient she was. My parents even had her stay longer that we had contracted her for because they didn't want her to leave! It sure takes all the stress off the bride and any family members you think you want to designate to do things.

We had our ceremony and reception in two separate locations. She and her assistant covered every last detail and were always available for anyone needing anything the day of. I would absolutely recommend Weddings Made Splendid to every bride that thinks she can do it on her own or to anyone looking for someone to jump right in and keep your life organized during the madness! :) She is creative, professional and super detail oriented.

Thanks Meaghan!!

Enlisting “Weddings Made Splendid” to help coordinate our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in wedding planning! We clicked with Meaghan the moment we met her- she was so friendly and very down to earth. It was clear how much she loves weddings and how passionate she is about her job, and is also so genuine and real about it (a personality that can be a bit hard to find in the wedding industry). She is extremely organized as well- something I noticed and appreciated as a fellow “list maker.” This personality really came through as we watched her deal with both vendors and guests before and during the wedding- she was easy to get along with and got business done at the same time.

It made such a difference in the final pre-wedding months to be working with someone that is clearly on top of it- you get the feeling there is nothing she can’t handle. Basically from the minute we met with her, we never worried about details at the wedding because we knew that no matter what happened “Meaghan would take care of it.” This certainly proved to be the case! A perfect example of this came the morning of the wedding as the scheduled person for hair and makeup suddenly came down with the stomach flu- luckily Meaghan almost immediately found a new (and amazing) hair/makeup artist to step in. An impressive feat to do this last minute, and even more so considering it was 7am on New Years Day!

On the day of the wedding, Meaghan helped everything come together perfectly. She and her assistant somehow managed to get the entire area set up before the wedding- as we went to get ready the morning of the wedding, there were a bunch of tables standing around and chairs stacked against the wall- when we came out, the area had been transformed into a beautiful ceremony and reception area. It honestly felt like magic! All ceremony and reception events went just as planned thanks to her direction and coordination, and if there were any issues, we never heard about it. Somehow even with all the other things to coordinate, she always found time to check in on us and get us food or drink as needed. There was not a single thing we had to worry about at our wedding- thanks to Meaghan, we just enjoyed the amazing day!

My experience with Weddings Made Splendid was unbelievably good. Meaghan took care of any and everything I needed help with beforehand and was a life saver on the day of. She was always available for me whether it was a last minute detail decision or I just needed someone to talk to and reassure me everything would go smoothly. My guests raved about how well organized the wedding proceeded and how she made the celebration into a day for everyone to remember. My day was absolutely perfect and I can't thank her enough!

We had a wedding this past October and it was perfect because of Meaghan! Our venue was a large condo complex on the beach and to say that it can be confusing to get around would be a huge understatement! We knew right away that we would need a very organized and capable person to direct not only the various vendors, but the guests as well to make sure that everything was on time and running smoothly! We met with Meaghan and knew right away that she would be perfect for us!

She helped us pick vendors and introduced us to some great people who really care about weddings and want to make your day the best possible! Meaghan is also THE best when it comes to communication, she was talking to our vendors every week it seemed like to make sure that everything was on track! She is also very good at answering email and phone calls!

Meaghan also has some fierce people skills which can come in handy when dealing with as many people as it takes to have a wedding. She is attentive and have I mentioned organized? Besides possessing the necessary skills to navigate through the wedding industry she also is a genuinely nice and good person who is easy to talk to (which is REALLY important!)

Bottom line is this: Meaghan was the best money we spent on the wedding, she made sure that everything was completely stress free in the months up to the wedding and the day of! I would definitely contact her for all your wedding planning needs!

My August wedding at Paradise Point was absolutely perfect and stress-free, and I have Meaghan to thank for it! Leading up to the wedding, I pretty much took care of everything already and was simply looking for a DOC. My actual DOC always works with an assistant, and I was fortunate enough to have gotten Meaghan as that second coordinator. Don't let the words "assistant" or "second" fool you - Meaghan was like my primary coordinator anyway! She was the one who attended my rehearsal, had all the details listed in a folder, put the groomsmen in order when they got rowdy (thank God because they were stressing me out!), and made sure the rehearsal and wedding itself went smoothly.

On the day of the wedding, my husband and I never got stressed because she literally took care of everything, even all the details we would've never thought of. After taking photos, my BMs and I really wanted a drink and Meaghan came immediately with a tray of white wine! I also had white market lights hung up outside the terrace deck and Meaghan was the one was stayed late behind, taking them all down for me, and actually putting them back in the exact boxes they came in! Of course I had one too many drinks, so at the end of the night, Meaghan was the one who took care of my bill for me as well. I could go on and on about the many things Meaghan did (and some I wasn't aware of either, because that's what a good coordinator does - takes care of everything so you can enjoy your day), but this review would run on for another 11 pages.

Bottom line, if you need a detail-oriented, friendly (but firm when necessary), organized, caring and thoughtful coordinator, Meaghan is your best bet. It was money well spent and I recommend that you hire her in a heartbeat! =)

My husband and I planned most of the major and minor details for our wedding, and we were looking for someone who would take the reigns on the day of so that we would do nothing but sit back, relax, and enjoy GETTING MARRIED!!! Meaghan was referred by a colleague who was already booked on the day of our wedding (June 26, 2010). Although we hired Meaghan for “Day-of” services, she was pretty much our go-to person immediately. Within the last month of the wedding, Meaghan was in touch and coordinated with all our vendors. As promised, Meaghan was the first and last person to show up on the day of our wedding.
At our initial in-person consultation, Meaghan brought lunch for my husband and me, including a vegetarian option in case one of us didn’t eat meat. Learning how detail-oriented, considerate, and kind Meaghan was just sealed the deal for us. She spent a good 1-1.5 hours with us, going over the various coordinating options and assessing our needs and wants for the big day. She was extremely organized and well-prepared. All of her forms had our names and wedding information already printed on them, and she presented them to us in a lovely folder. To top it off, she even gave us a wedding planning magazine for our reference.
Meaghan was never pushy. She was attentive, responsive, and most importantly, she demonstrated some pretty sophisticated people skills: she was assertive with vendors when necessary, patient with family and other guests during the rehearsal and wedding itself, and she was just simply nice and pleasant. We had several hour+ conversations via phone and email (since we were planning from the SF bay area), during which time she paid attention to and executed all of my requests.
Small details were handled as well. I wanted to have a pair of flip flops to change into after the ceremony, and Meaghan cleverly left it underneath my sweetheart table along with my make-up touch-up bag. I could go on for pages and pages listing all of the details Meaghan and her team managed flawlessly on the days leading up to and day of the wedding. I seriously did not have a single stressful moment on the day of my wedding. Even when minor issues came up, I did not worry because I was confident that Meaghan and her team would take care of it. Meaghan was truly the best money we spent on our wedding, and I would recommend her services to anyone!

Hiring Meaghan Schmaltz of Weddings Made Splendid was by far the best investment we made in our wedding. We had only 2 months to plan our big day, and from our very first meeting with her, Meaghan inspired confidence that we could pull off the wedding of our dreams even given our extremely short timeline...and we did! Meaghan is a friend and a fantastic advocate for her clients. She goes above and beyond the call like racing down to Fed Ex to pick up my wedding leis that never got delivered and sewing ribbon onto my garter belt and ring pillow. Our wedding day was perfect, and we couldn't have done it without Meaghan and all the fantastic vendors she recommended to us. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a wedding planner.

I was introduced to Meaghan Schmaltz, owner of Weddings Made Splendid, roughly a year before my wedding date. My brother, who so happened to be in a business networking group with her, told me how wonderful she was and that he knew that with her personality and her love of weddings Meaghan and I would be a perfect fit. Well... He was right!

I briefly spoke with Meaghan on the phone and she offered to come into town to meet with me about possibly hiring her on as my "Day-Of" Wedding Coordinator. The moment I met her I knew that I wasn't going to meet with anyone else. Meaghan and Weddings Made Splendid was it! From the moment she introduced herself to me I felt at ease and reassured that my wedding would be in the right hands; the best hands.

Over the course of planning my wedding we ran into some unfortunate financial issues and Meaghan, in her sweet demeanor, reassured me that we could make it work. She was the calming and reaffirming personality that I needed in my life at that time. At that moment in the planning process she was not acting as a paid Wedding Coordinator, she was acting as a friend.

Meaghan went above and beyond to make my day perfect. If I had any questions along the course of planning the wedding she had an answer. She walked me through the "how-to’s" on the proper way of addressing invitations, she made sure my invitation inserts were the way I wanted them, and she was even there to meet with certain vendors and walk through the event sites to envision the wedding day with me. Each step of the way Meaghan was there! I was treated like I was Weddings Made Splendid’s only client and not once did I feel unimportant or ignored.

On my Wedding Day I felt like I was on a cloud. I look back and I don't think I had a single moment of worry or uncertainty. I knew my wedding was in the right hands. If there were any problems behind the scenes they were fixed by the Weddings Made Splendid team before anyone knew what happened. Meaghan and her team made sure my husband and I had Hors d'œuvres and drinks awaiting us when we arrived during the cocktail hour and throughout the reception they always had fresh drinks for us at our table. The timeline was followed perfectly and all the guest and vendors had a great day/night. Meaghan and her team made my wedding day a perfect experience!

Meaghan Schmaltz is not only an amazing person, but is quite possibly one of the best wedding coordinators a girl could have. Meaghan and her Weddings Made Splendid team are worth every penny. They are guaranteed to make your wedding day spectacular! Weddings Made Splendid is a must!

As the Mother of the Groom who hired Meaghan as our Wedding Planner, I think she is amazing...I was out of town and too far away to handle anything that came up, but Meaghan wasn't...from the time I hired her until she and I were done cleaning up the Quail Botanical Gardens, well after all the guests had left, Meaghan was there to make sure everything went perfectly...she is organized to a fault, professional and very capable of handling those touchy situations that arise with every wedding...I would highly recommend her...she made sure my son and daughter-in-laws wedding was all we expected, and she gave me the opportunity to enjoy the day because I didn't have to worry about a thing...thank you Meaghan...you are wonderful!

At first my husband didn't see the point in hiring a coordinator, but when he realized how much work she was putting into our wedding and how much sanity she gave me, he realized that it was money VERY well spent!! She was amazing and we would highly recommend her!

We used Meaghan for our day of setup. She was more than we could have ever asked for! She was easy to talk to, easy to get ahold of, reliable, organized and most important was there for everything we needed. She did an amazing job with the setup and her professionalism was unmatched. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants there day to be more then they ever imagined. Thanks Meaghan for making our day so amazing!

I hired Meaghan approximately three weeks before my wedding. At first, I had no intentions of hiring a DOC, but after much discussion with other brides and my family, it soon became clear I needed a DOC. I initially called another woman whom I had met at a bridal show and that woman was busy so she recommended Meaghan. Man I sure am glad she did!!!

Meaghan was very detail oriented and organized – 2 traits I find to be of utmost importance, especially in this line of work. From the very start, Meaghan jumped in and took over where I had left off. I had already chosen most of my vendors, but she made contact with every single one. She read every contract and ensured I was getting what I wanted at every turn. We discussed every detail at great lengths and she even suggested things I never even thought of. She became as involved with my wedding as I was and she amazed me at how she handled every aspect with such proficiency and dedication to what I wanted for my big day. She even acted as a liaison between me and the man who was my contact at my venue – a task that proved Meaghan is a patient yet get it done kind of girl. I do not know what I would have done without her.

On the big day, Meaghan was there bright and early making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing. She checked on me often and she even put out a few fires along the way. Meaghan was all over the place. She had only one assistant; I will never know how the two of them pulled it off without a hitch! The ceremony was organized and beautiful. Meaghan made sure every detail was perfect!

The reception was filled with many bumps due to poor planning at my venue. Meaghan was all over it! Without her, the reception would have been a disaster. I am so grateful that she took care of every detail and allowed me to just enjoy the whole event. I had not a care in the world because I knew whatever came up, Meaghan could and would handle it!
I could go on and on about the amazing job Meaghan did on my wedding – but this review would be soooo long. Meaghan went above and beyond my expectations and I could not have been happier! I will use Meaghan for every event – big or small – that I have in the future and I highly recommend you do the same! Thank you so much Meaghan! You know you are my hero for making my wedding PERFECT!

Weddings Made Splendid is a fantastic vendor for having all of your wedding planning or coordinating needs met. Don't hesitate to express a concern or fear... because it will be taken well and then fixed so you can have the most relaxed and stress free wedding day!

LOVE working with Meaghan and her team at Weddings Made Splendid!! For each and every client she is completely in tune with what they are looking for, and never fails to have all of their details and information so well organized. Each time I've had the pleasure of working with a WMS couple, Meaghan has already given me such a thorough background on their big day, that creating their custom paperie comes naturally!

Meaghan and her team are one of the most professional and organized bunch in town. Meaghan is a life saver for her brides and many of them say they would have been lost without her. Every interaction we have had she has been so knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. Her ideas are always useful and her style is fantastic. She has a wonderful take charge attitude that makes wedding days flow so effortlessly. If you’re looking for a guide for your special day she is that and so much more.

Meaghan is a true professional, who is always looking out for her clients' best interests, and loves pulling together a great team of vendors for her couples. She is very detail-oriented - I know that I always will be given all of the information that I need for that particular wedding, and that is so calming for me - I can only imagine how much of a relief that is for her couples on their big day! She is also so professional at the event itself, making sure that all of it is exactly what the couple needs and wants, but also is what the vendors need and want to do their job well, and that is greatly appreciated as well. I definitely recommend you contact Meaghan about your wedding.

It was great working with Weddings Made Splendid. Her timeline of the day was perfectly organized and she was constantly checking on all of us vendors to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were at the right place at the right time. She was on top of things the entire night which kept the bride and groom at ease and able to enjoy their day. The decor was beautiful and truly expressed the bride and groom. I would highly recommend Weddings Made Splendid to any bride and groom!

Weddings Made Splendid did a lovely job of coordinating the events of the day for our intimate 10-year vow renewal in Temecula Wine Country. Meaghan helped us with the timeline and logistics ahead of time to make certain that the relaxed and kick-back vibe we wanted for ourselves and our guests would come to life, without chaos. That's key...AND, she helped us pull it all together within a very short period of time!

Being in the wedding industry ourselves as photographers, we have a lot of respect for coordinators who can honor the wishes of the couple while still providing the slight nudge to keep things moving as they should. She somehow managed to help us stick to a schedule while making it feel like there wasn't one in place. It was like magic. We didn't feel the pressure or rigidness of the day, which made for a perfect day for ourselves and our guests.

Thanks, Meaghan, for helping us create a beautiful day that has turned into a warm, fuzzy memory for us to cherish for years...

What an absolute sweetheart! Love this girl, she is energetic, genuinely nice and puts it all together in a powerful, professional, detailed coordinating package.

We started our 2011 wedding season with a bang working with Meaghan and her associate Allan from Weddings Made Splendid. Having them leading the day put us and the other vendors completely at ease knowing that there would be no hiccups to the day...we were 100% correct - the day went flawless. I can wholeheartedly recommend Weddings Made Splendid to any bride and groom looking for a quality and professional coordinator.

Meaghan always goes above and beyond for all her clients, and to her credit, and ability, most of her clients become her friends...and that speaks volumes. Because of Meaghan, I was able to take off my wedding planner hat and enjoy my own son’s wedding. So, if you’re looking for the BEST person to plan, coordinate and manage your special day, you need look no further than ‘Weddings Made Splendid”. Meaghan will go the extra mile to make sure your day is ‘splendid’ beyond your wildest expectations.

Meaghan and her assistants were wonderful to work with on the day of the wedding. I had worked with her on a previous much smaller event, and was pleased to see how smoothly and effectively her and her staff were able to manage a large wedding! Despite the weather, the day went off without issue! Great job!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Meaghan on a number of occasions now and an event that she is a part of is nothing short of great!
