Megan Bird - HOLY BUCKETS! I am going to have so much more to post after our upcoming April wedding. But in the meantime there are things that have to be stated about this amazing women. From the beginning Megan has been one of the most reassuring and comforting things about wedding planning. If not the only thing at times. Megan paid for herself at our very first meeting with our location and catering vendor. She saw something in the signed contract that entailed us to a better food package. Not just better food selections but more of it. When the vendor said it was a typo and they would fix it she said 'nope this is the contract that you had them sign. Typo or not you need to stick to this, they are entitled to this food at this price.' At that point in wedding planning i was so beyond exhausted i absolutely would have just rolled over and let the vendor adjust the signed contract. She stuck to her guns and we got the benefit of it. Woo Hoo We have the Week of Package, which really means that she takes over several weeks out. Following up with our vendors and asking me questions about details I never would have considered. Megan as been available for all of the silly questions and concerns that we have had and is prompt in her email response. She is able to offer suggestions on everything, babysitters in the area, vendors, when to do things, how to include family wishes along side our own, how to get Dicks Cheese Burgers to your wedding reception and everything in between. Megan is so friendly and easy to work with, she is prompt and organized. You just want to be her friend. I can not imagine getting through this wedding process without her, and its not even over yet. Wedding Planning Advice Number One - Get yourself a planner Number Two - Get Megan Keller MORE GOOD THINGS TO COME So, the wedding has happened. It was all smooth and amazing. Megan made everything work. As I was standing in my dress with my flowers about to walk down the isle I turned to my mom and said 'how would we have done this without Megan?' She said 'We wouldn't!' She was so right! Megan did so many things that made all the difference that I didn't know about. She was the first one there and the last one out. She loaded gifts and flowers and all kinds of things into car at the end of the evening. I can't not imagine that this day would have worked without her and we are so glad that we had her along for the ride! read more

See all

Let's get straight to the gushing: Megan is spectacular!! Super organized, thoughtful, a creative visionary, and steady support (not to mention super fun and hilarious)! I started my quest to plan my own wedding in early 2010 and realized that, being an anxiety-prone control freak, I should probably seek some assistance. I found Megan Keller & A Kurant Event while link surfing through a wedding website. I immediately checked her out on Yelp, loved the reviews, and promptly set up a meeting. Loved this woman right away! She was so friendly, listened to me carefully, took notes, and proceeded to explain how she could help me, what my options were, and the prices. I loved it! Get straight to the point, and let's do this thing! Needless to say, I hired Megan and she worked with me step-by-step to put together a wedding and reception that exceeded my husband's and my dreams. All the while, keeping us on schedule and on track. The day of, especially, was so stress free - she took care of everything and I was able to fully enjoy the best day of my life. I highly recommend hiring Megan for your wedding planning needs, especially for the day-of, if not the whole shebang - she's totally worth it! read more

We just got married, and Megan did a wonderful job of attending to the details of our wedding. I hired Megan because of her broad experience working with large budgets and small budgets alike, and her vast experience in negotiating and attending to the details of event contracts. She exceeded our expectations in these areas from her first day working with us, and helped our wedding go smoothly in some many other ways as well. In all reality, our wedding (a local destination wedding) would have been basically a full working day for me and my family if we hadn't had Megan. But, it isn't just about the day of the wedding. Prior to this, Megan handled details months before, making life for all of us much easier. With our wedding, Megan was tasked with a hard job of working out some sticky contract issues with our first venue, and when those went south, finding us a perfect new venue on the same date, four months from the date of our wedding. She did it, and managed to deal with a sticky situation in the best way possible. Megan is a consummate professional. She is focused on making sure her client is content with the way things are going, even if that means the plans change a bit. With every wedding, after the fact, there are always things that the bride and groom wish went differently. Don't get me wrong - we still have a few - but all with other vendors or details related to the wedding. Everything Megan was in charge of turned out well - we would highly recommend her to brides of all budgets - she will make your day all it can possibly be. read more

We hired Megan for day-of services for our 2013 wedding at Hotel 1000. There is a reason she has so many 5 star reviews. Girl is SOLID! And this is coming from a bride that is a full time event planner. She was always quick to respond to an email or call, had great recommendations (not just vendors, but suggestions for the layout and flow of the evening, food and drink, etc. She puts thought into all aspects of the event!) Not only was she fantastic as a professional, we really enjoyed her personality which made the planning process that much more enjoyable. Well, it's not all rainbows and puppies, but she kept us calm and laughing even during the stressful moments. I've already referred others to her, and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Megan! read more

Having a wedding? Definitely get a planner and definitely make that planner Megan at A Kurant Event. The more my husband and I look back on our amazing wedding, the more grateful we are that we had Megan. She kept us on pace for the big day with a checklist tailored just for us that she kept a close eye on. She recommended the best vendors to suit our event's needs, followed up on our visits to vendors though often she was there with us, and she was so supportive and pleasant to work with. Our wedding day was fun, romantic, memorable and exactly what we wanted. No stress at all because I knew Megan would be there. I didn't have to herd anyone, wonder when anything was starting or where a vendor was, or oversee the event space in any way. My husband and I were able to simply enjoy ourselves and our happy day with all of our friends and family. It couldn't have gone off any better and we have Megan to thank for that! read more

I will never be able to do justice to the amazing-ness that is May Wyatt and Kate Coble. The beginning of our wedding planning was stressful, to say the least...but the first time that we met with Megan (owner) and May about working with them for day-of wedding coordination, my mother, fiance and I all breathed a huge sigh of relief. May was always available to answer planning and etiquette questions and her helpful replies were always so speedy. Having an expert there to help through the planning process took away all the doubt and concern and just allowed us to enjoy being engaged and planning our big day! As the wedding got closer and closer, she even took the vendor contracts off my plate, contacted each of them with their arrival times and supplied us all with a detailed schedule of the wedding day. She thought of everything. May and Kate's help and expertise at the rehearsal and the wedding were priceless. My mom and I have talked about how different the wedding would have been if we didn't have them there and we are just so thrilled that we made the choice to work with A Kurant Event. The day would have been filled with work and worrying about details if we hadn't had May and Kate there to help us. We didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day. May was there to ensure that everything went smoothly, and she did it so beautifully. Even when there was a last minute change of plans with the timing and order of our toasts, May ensured that everyone knew exactly what was going on at all times and the toasts went perfectly! I know a lot of brides that have things they would change about their wedding days, things that went wrong or didn't turn out as planned. I don't have any of those. For me, my husband, and our families, our wedding was perfect. We owe all the ladies of A Kurant Event a huge 'Thank You' for that. No matter how much planning or work I put into the wedding, the day would not have been what it was without them. I couldn't have asked for lovelier ladies to share my wedding day with and I would absolutely recommend A Kurant Event to any bride! read more

As a serious control freak and frequent event planner myself, it was a major moment in the wedding planning process when it became clear I needed help. I had planned far too many DIY details and was quickly becoming overwhelmed with the logistics. We hired Megan as our Day-of-coordinator, but she was a major help even in the months prior to the wedding. She checked in frequently to make sure I was maintaining my sanity, and in the weeks leading up the wedding posed logistical questions that I hadn't even considered, gave suggested solutions, vendor recommendations, and helped keep me on task. Our 'getting ready,' ceremony, and reception locations were fairly spread out (Medina, Wallingford, Cap Hill) and Megan and her assistant handled the set-up of each location seamlessly. I have a difficult time delegating, but Megan did a fantastic job taking over right when I needed her to! She managed our many DIY details (making our own bouquets from farmers market flowers, a pie bar, assembling a balloon garland at the park) just to name a few. In addition to set-up Megan helped to mitigate a situation with our reception location, orchestrated the ceremony flawlessly, and relieved me of all stress regarding the details of the day. I highly recommend Megan Keller of A Kurant Event! read more

We hired Megan for her 'day-of' services, which are way more than that. We met with a few coordinators who were a little over the top, which is just not our style. We immediately felt comfortable with Megan - she was relaxed and less intense than the others but answered all our questions and really sounded like she knew her stuff and would be a great match. We were never disappointed in our decision to go with her! Our wedding was towards the end of wedding season and even though Megan had many weddings on her plate she responded to emails immediately and kept all of our vendors informed and in line in the weeks leading up to our big day. She was available in the months before the wedding via email and always provided great information. I just read through a few of the other reviews here and everyone is spot on: Megan is a blast to work with while being completely professional when it's time to be serious. I have no idea if there were any issues on our big day because she and her assistant took care of everything. We booked almost all of our vendors based on her recommendations and they were all top notch. Those few vendors that we booked that she hadn't previously worked with have commented on how easy she was to work with. I'm almost sad that I don't plan on ever doing this again as I'd love to work with Megan in the future! Seriously, do your self a favor and let Megan run the show. We had an amazing time on our big day and I know that was because Megan was there to deal with everything and we just got to sit back and have fun. read more

I had a pleasure to work with Megan this past weekend at a wedding, and I highly recommend her service to anyone looking to get married. The wedding was beautiful and everything went smoothly. I can see Megan put a lot of time into this wedding. Her professionalism really impressed me(exceptionally detailed, prompt in response, and well-prepared.). Furthermore, she has a GREAT attitude. She's super friendly and fun to work with. That takes a LOT of stress away from both the clients and vendors. If you are a potential bride/groom looking to work with a professional wedding planner with a great attitude, A Kurant event is your choice! read more

How to start my immense praise for Megan? My husband and I hired Megan early on in our planning process, about a year beforehand. She was the first wedding planner we met, and the last. She came into the first meeting prepared yet wonderfully personable and friendly. We hired her immediately and throughout 9 months before the wedding, we would meet occasionally to go over some things and start planning. Each time we met I felt like I was going to hang out with my best friend and plan my wedding but with someone way more "in the know" and prepared than my actual best friend. Megan made wedding planning fun which is a hard thing to do when you're trying to appease your husband's incredibly large family. The last three months we saw Megan more often and she made life so incredibly easy, she gave us advice and pep talks throughout the crazy hectic moments that are wedding planning. The days leading up to our wedding were stressful because we worried about the weather (we had an outdoor wedding at Ray's Boathouse), Megan gave us options and reminded us how erratic Seattle weather was, and we went without the tent and low and behold, it was a beautiful, sunny day! Finally, our wedding day was here and I was running around, and Megan kept things calm and cool and the whole day was seamless. Everything looked absolutely beautiful and I couldn't imagine my wedding day any more special, and I give immense kudos to Megan. She not only was our wedding planner, but has definitely turned into a great friend! If you're planning any kind of event, Megan will bring her amazing design skills and wonderful personality to the table. She's the greatest! read more

Megan and Kate were assets to my wedding day. I used them as day of event coordinating, and they were willing to help me figure all sorts of things out. They made sure that my day went as smooth as possible, from making sure my decorations were set up, that the tables look liked I had envisioned, to making sure the timing of all the events of the night went smooth... to really anything I needed. On one of the (potentially) most stressful days of my life, this duo made me feel at ease and in the hands of some very smart women. I should also add that they made my parents completely comfortable, and created an event that they were also able to sit back and just enjoy the night. This alone was worth everything to me, due to my father being sick and somewhat stressed about how everything was going to come together. These girls are amazing, and i was lucky to have them even just for the day of... simply amazing. read more

It's truly tough to describe our appreciation for Megan briefly. She is creative, organized and well connected to the event planning community. We worked with her for the past year to plan our wedding for 250 at our home on Bainbridge. We were instantly drawn to Megan's personality, which is casual yet professional. She had endless ideas, but is never pushy. She engages like a friend while skillfully managing the budget and timeline. With her help, we were able to easily choose an exceptional team of vendors early on. We don't regret a single choice. She is always a joy to be around, but especially the weekend of the events. She and her equally kind and graceful assistant Kate managed all the moving pieces and executed a beautiful, seamless event. In the days after the wedding, our families have been endlessly praising Megan's talent, creativity, and personality. Working with A Kurant Event was the most important planning decision we made. We are forever grateful! read more

Do yourself a HUGE favor and hire Megan right now. I check references and she got amazing reviews. During our interview, I realized immediately that she is exceptional (she told me some stories and what to expect for the different services available). She is professional, uber organized, crafty, and on top of everything. Believe me, you get what you pay for! My husband didn't even figure a wedding planner into our budget, but after our reception, he thanked me for urging him to hire Megan because we were stress free the entire day. Holy cow did we luck out when we found Megan. My wedding advice to you is to splurge on hiring an exceptional wedding planner. She was our "day of" coordinator but put in hours upon hours of work before our big day. What a bargain, considering everything that she did for us. Thank you Megan!! read more

I just recently got married in January and used Megan and A Kurant Event for my entire planning and day of. What a blessing! Organization and creativity are not my strong points and yet the wedding turned out to be the most amazing event I have ever seen. The praise and response I received from those that attended was remarkable. Megan kept me focused and on track without overwhelming me or stressing me out at all. She was there for every random question, idea, thought, etc. She gave me her opnion in a constructive way when I was stuck between decisions and helped me feel confident in my decisions. The wedding day was stress-free and perfect. I didn't have to think about a thing. Somehow I barely even noticed all the work and detail going on behind the scenes because it was executed so smoothly and professionally. My father is a tough, tough critic and was blown away by Megan's work ethic. I could not have asked for a more awesome planner to work with. We developed an awesome working relationship in which I was comfortable going to Megan with any concerns or thoughts I had. She introduced me to the most amazing vendors and made sure I got to see a variety of what was available to me. I can't truly write how thankful I am to Megan and A Kurant Event for being a part of my wedding day. What an exceptional company and owner! read more

Megan contracted my floral design services for her clients wedding. We were able to throw it together within budget in a short amount of time. She was great to work with throughout the process and was so friendly and smiling the day of. I would recommend Megan for coordinating services! read more

We have worked with Megan at A Kurant Event and found her to be professional, fun, and great at what she does. She knows the local market for various types of talent and services and is highly organized. We highly recommend Megan for anyone seeking a planner to support an event. read more

I worked with A Kurant Event when planning a company ship party. I am glad we hired a planner, Megan took care of every last detail and even thought of a few things to spice up the party without us blowing our budget. I work for a small technology company with fun young people, so we were looking for high ROI on the fun/$ scale. Megan did a great job meeting this requirement. They also do weddings, I wish I had used them for my wedding as it was a pain in the ass without a planner. read more

my best friend just got married and used meghan's services. everything about the ceremony and reception was beautiful and amazing, and a lot of that was due to meghan's hard work. she made my job as a maid of honor much easier, was easy to contact throughout the planning, showed up to the rehearsal the night before, and was there every step of the way on the big day. because of meghan, the wedding party was able to relax about handling the details on the big day and could relax and focus on enjoying the wedding! i know that sometimes event coordinators/wedding planners get cut out of wedding budgets early on as an unnecessary cost, but A Kurant Event's rates were very reasonable and worth every penny. read more

All of the reviews are true- Megan Bird and her A Kurant Event team are truly a pleasure to work with. At a time in your life when emotions are running high, and bills are piling up, this woman is a heaven-sent, solution-oriented, calming presence. I hired Megan as a week/month of coordinator for my wedding in Cle Elum in July, and my only regret is that I didn't just hire her to plan the whole thing altogether. She is frugal, creative, resourceful, diplomatic, well-connected, incredibly responsive, flexible, graceful under pressure...I could go on and on. Although I was trying to accomplish a lot on a limited budget, she never made me feel like I couldn't or shouldn't do it - she always had creative, inexpensive workarounds, brilliant alternatives to offer, and great insights on where we should and shouldn't splurge. The vendors she recommended to me were also similarly awesome people with reasonable rates and good taste -- the type of people you not only enjoy having around the weekend of you're wedding, but that you'd genuinely want to hang out with well beyond! read more

Megan & the crew at A Kurant Event are AMAZING! I have been in the wedding industry over 12 years and have had the pleasure of working with Megan many many times. She is organized, confident and cool in crazy situations - she always takes the chaos of a wedding or large event in stride putting her clients at ease. (which is exactly what she is there for!) I feel confident referring her to anyone! read more

Annalise was fabulous. Not only was she a big help with the planning before the big day, but she kept everything running smoothly the day of. We had a mini disaster when half of the centerpiece vases broke in transit. She worked some glue magic and strategically positioned the ones that couldn't be saved and nobody knew the difference! She also has a great eye for decor. She turned a jumble of supplies into a true vision. I am so happy looking back at my photos and seeing how cohesive everything looked - and all with very little stress! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Megan and A Kurant Event. We hired Megan for "day-of" services and she went above and beyond. We live in SF but are native Seattleites, so planning a Seattle wedding meant we needed someone to keep us on track and Megan did just that. I should say that we hired her first and foremost for her awesome sense of humor. My husband and I are VERY sarcastic, and loved that Megan was fun and hilarious while also getting sh*t done. In the weeks leading up to the big day, she took over chasing down contacts and making sure everyone was on the same timeline.The actual day was a million times better than we had ever imagined. If anything went wrong, we had no clue and were able to just enjoy the day and have fun. It was also super helpful that many of our vendors had worked with her before and spoke so highly of her. Made it easy to relax with our decision to hire a planner. And after the wedding, we only heard wonderful things from our vendors about how awesome she was to work with. So seriously, hire Megan asap! She is amahzing. read more

I have to thank the fine people of Yelp for guiding me to Megan and A Kurant Event in the first place--and what better way to do that than by writing a glowing review of my own? Megan is like the mullet of wedding planners--HEAR ME OUT. When dealing with vendors (navigating payment and negotiating potentially awkward interactions like the rare complaints we had to make), paying attention to detail, and generally getting $#*% done, she is all business. A force to be reckoned with. She skillfully handled our thousands of questions with patience and clarity, connecting us with all the right people at all the right times. She took the utterly nonsensical things we said about what we were looking for in a venue or photographer, for example, and translated them into perfect matches. We would have been absolutely lost without her. But let's not forget about the back of the mullet: the party. Not only did Megan help us plan a great party for our guests, with the ideal mix of fancy and fun, but working with her really felt like a party in itself. Because she made us feel so confident in her ability to maintain laser focus and get stuff taken care of, we were able to chill out and enjoy her delightful sense of humor and wit. This made our meetings more fun, yes, but it also served a second purpose: because we were comfy and relaxed, she was able to get to know us more, which helped her come up with even more fun ideas that perfectly suited us, and which we never would have come up with on our own. Our guests said again and again how we shone through at our wedding, which was all we ever wanted. You can tell that she tailors not only the events she plans, but even her approach to the planning process itself, to every couple she works with. While I am very happy with the outcome of the wedding (um, being married to my husband), I am pretty glad that I won't have to go through the process of planning it again. The one exception to that is working with Megan--I would do it again in a heartbeat! I feel the same way I did when I had just finished Breaking Bad and my friend was just starting episode one: I'm totally jealous of all the time they are about to spend doing something I enjoyed so much. In conclusion, if you're planning a wedding in the Seattle area, make the choice you would never make at in the stylist's chair, and go for the mullet!! read more

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a public proposal but didn't know how to go about it..searched yelp reviews and found this..contacted Megan and she was amazing! She took my ideas of what I wanted and ran with it..when I ran outta ideas..she was able to give me advice, throw in some of her ideas and was super supportive and thoughtful. I"m not sure if there is a actual proposal planner business out there but if there was...Megan is the one I recommend to help you out. I had 20 or so friends who witnessed/participated in my proposal, all who were quite impressed with the event ( made me look like a superstar). Bottom line..if you need a event planned..any kind of event....get Megan at A Kurant Event!! I will be using her again. read more

Megan Keller is the bees knees. She was the only wedding planner I interviewed because there was no need to look elsewhere. She is laid back, friendly, easy to work with, and has great ideas to make your vision happen. I worked with her as our day-of coordinator, but that really meant month-of, because at the one month mark I met with her to hand off all the details (vendors, contracts, etc) and she took the reins. She is a really creative person, so early on I asked for a one-hour consultation to help me select rental items, which was so much more than I expected. She met me at Pedersons Showroom and mocked up example table settings, offered her expertise on how much to order, what to order for the other vendors I was working with, and where to save money, and also put together the entire order for me. I am not a very visual person so I had only a vague vision of what everything would look like on the day-of, and was so beyond impressed when I saw how Megan made everything look so beautiful and organized from the dinner tables, to the dessert station, to the guestbook table, etc. And most importantly, Megan made everyone in our wedding party feel at ease. She has a superpower that I can only describe as super-chill-yet-gets-sh**-done, so you always feel relaxed and that you're in good hands. She was so great that even other vendors at the wedding told me how much they liked working with her. I highly recommend Megan Keller. read more

I expected more for how much it cost, and wish to have stuck with the budget. My number one piece of advice remember when the bride says don't show anything over budget and stick to that! The one great thing is she introduced us to Barbie Hull she's the best photographer in Washington! read more

At first I was hesitant to hire a day-of coordinator, as I am not usually one to delegate, but I am so glad to have hired Megan and A Kurant Event for our recent wedding. Megan understood the vibe and energy we wanted to create at both our ceremony and reception, which were at separate venues, and helped to execute it as we imagined. She is organized and poised, and always has a positive attitude that takes stress out of wedding planning. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Megan and I met a few times, and she was very responsive to emails and questions. She kept an updated timeline and kept vendors in line and handled correspondence with them as needed. She attended our rehearsal and kept things moving efficiently, she was also very helpful in transporting much of our reception decor to the reception venue. On our big day, she was on-time, and energetic, yet even-keeled. There were a few instances where she had to make quick decisions (oops - I had forgotten to order champagne flutes w/ the catering order!) and she acted appropriately and used sound judgment that was consistent with what we would have chosen. I was overjoyed and truly impressed when I saw the reception venue had been set-up exactly as I'd imagined, without having been there myself to provide direction. Megan stayed until the very end and made sure everything was loaded into vehicles and vendors had cleaned up. Megan and her team were great to work with, and allowed us to really relax and enjoy the entire wedding weekend. I would highly recommend Megan and a Kurant Event - couldn't have been happier with our choice in day-of coordinator. read more

So I'm the girl that got proposed to by the guy in the review right below this one :) LUCKY ME! I had no idea it was happening that night. I knew it was coming soon but was not prepared for what was about to be the most amazing night of my life...so far. My girlfriends had "planned" a girls-night-out to celebrate Christmas but what acutally had happened is Jayson worked with Megan to orchestrate the whole night. From the girls-only cocktail hour to the secret admirer paying for our drinks (Jayson) to the magician who I thought was just an old college friend of one of my girlfriends to the jingle bells on pink ribbon to Jayson on one knee asking me to be his wife, the entire night was perfect and flawless. Megan and her business did an amazing job and I am so happy that Jayson was able to work with them. I will definately check them out for the upcoming wedding planning. read more

During the entire lead up and execution of, day of "planning" by A Kurant Event was the worst waste of time and money we experienced for our wedding. We were told that benefits of this service was their referral network, check ins and execution day of. We were referred to somewhere for wholesale... that does not sell to the public, therefore we were unable to use them. No other suggestions given. All other referrals were in kind. Inaccessible, not what we were looking for, and a brush off when we asked if they had any connections to better fitting options. Megan bailed and sent an employee for all communications after we were past the time to back out of the contract. This would not have been an issue if we were introduced and it was conveyed upfront, but as it wasn't, it came across as dishonest. Really, the whole thing just seemed like a mess. Her employee seemed to try to make the best of it, but even then it came across as awkward. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. I can only think they have good reviews from those who purchase the full planning, and that others like me pend on reviews because they want to think of it as a happy day. It was, but absolutely none of that is was due to their involvement. Steer clear. read more

I worked with Megan for my wedding. She was such a life saver! I really couldn't have done it without her; or if I did, I definitely wouldn't have been able to enjoy my wedding day! Megan is super easy to work with, incredibly organized, and understood exactly what I was hoping for my wedding day and worked very hard to help me achieve it. She's amazing! Thank you, Megan! read more

As a florist and event designer I have had the opportunity to work with Megan on several occasions. She is a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry! Her calm demeanor and sunny disposition betray her superior planning ability and amazing customer service skills. She will never hesitate to go the extra mile to make sure your event is perfect. Working with Megan is always a pleasure and I recommend A Kurant Event without hesitation. --Christiane Zweifler, Flora Nova Design read more

Megan is a total super star! My partner and I contacted Megan just months before our wedding date. We gave her a super tight window, for a destination wedding, and she exceeded our expectation. Megan gets in the game with her clients. She was totally imbedded with us and our family to ensure every detail was set all weekend. This was a destination wedding in Napa/Sonoma, so we were working with unfamiliar vendors and a venue we had selected that was logistically tough to get to. Megan and her team truly made magic happen. Her combination of creativity and tenacity is incredibly special and valuable. I can't recommend A Kurant event enough and plan to! read more

Megan is professional and fun! Top knotch event planner!

Megan is incredible! The minute we met her, we knew she was who we wanted to work with. It's really hard to describe her style other than to say she puts her heart into her work. She is wicked fun and incredibly well connected to any vendor you can imagine! We needed lots of help and advice, and Megan steered us in the perfect direction every time. After our ceremony, several guests approached us asking who helped us plan the wedding and 100% of the feedback was beyond positive! If you're looking for someone to take care of your event, Megan's your girl! Worth every penny and then some! read more

I have been meaning to write this review for years, but I never felt I could do it justice. Megan is truly a miracle worker. Because of her, we were able to have a wonderful last-minute wedding celebration that my terminally ill mother, who had at that time recently barely survived emergency surgery, could be a part of. Knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, funny, magically stress-relieving, positive -- and of course, stylish -- Megan helped us plan our last-minute Seattle wedding long distance, dealing with, among other things, an unexpectedly-pregnant-and-sick-to-the-point-of-hospitalization LA bride-to-be who could not even get out of bed without puking (much less even think about menus or look at a computer screen). It was all done in about a month, all via phone, e-mail, and friends standing in for me for things like venue visits. We had found A Kurant Event through the company's website and liked the engaging blog. After one phone conversation with Megan, I felt comfortable with her. It was a huge relief, given everything we were going through, to find someone we could trust. She is extremely patient and nonjudgmental, as well as very calming. I wish I could remember the name of her assistant, because she was equally fantastic the day of our event. Megan has relationships with many venues and vendors, and she seems to be able to effortlessly determine what will fit your personality and particular needs. No detail that saw to my mother's comfort (event flexibility, wheelchair/walker accessibility, a "resting" room, immunocompromised-person-friendly decor and food) or my comfort was overlooked. I would highly recommend A Kurant Event for any Seattle-area event, large or small; formal or informal, especially if you have special needs like we did. THANK you, Megan!! read more

Professional, with great ideas! Available, easy to work with and fun to be around. Highly recommended!

We used Megan as a "day of planner" for our April 24th wedding and she was amazing. She wrote schedules, confirmed vendors, reviewed contracts, attended our rehearsal and generally made sure everything was running smoothly, waaay beyond our expectation of a day of planner. Her price packages were very reasonable and she went above and beyond the call of duty while being super helpful, friendly, and organized. Literally, the best deal of our wedding. read more

We hired Megan to coordinate our wedding weekend and it was the best decision we made about our wedding. We went with all the bells and whistles on her full-service package and the amount of stress and time it saved us was invaluable. From the beginning, she helped us manage our budget expectations, helped us book vendors, researched venues for our THREE wedding events (dinner, wedding, brunch), and kept everything on track and sailing smooth the entire time. She really showed her worth the week of the wedding, coordinating last minute changes, making sure our vendors stayed up to date, putting out a few unexpected fires (which I'm sure are common in every wedding) and making sure my fiance and I were feeling at ease and stress free all the while. On the day of the events, she and Kate were a Godsend. She kept our parents out of our hair, our vendors in line, and our expectations manage/met. She was very communicative throughout the evening so we always knew what was going on but never had to think about it. Do yourself a favor and hire her - all the bells and whistles included! You'll be glad you did! read more
