Meg was absolutely phenomenal. She pulled together a beautiful, seamless event in just a few months--handling everything from vendor selection to execution with calm, confidence, and incredible attention to detail. She worked closely with us to stay within budget while maximizing impact in all the right places. Her eye for design and ability to prioritize what truly mattered made the decor feel thoughtful, elevated, and completely aligned with our vision. Even when unexpected issues arose (as they always do with events), Meg navigated them with grace and professionalism. Everything within her control was flawlessly executed, and we were able to fully enjoy the day knowing she had everything handled. We've had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to--and we couldn't agree more. So much of that is thanks to Meg's talent, dedication, and steady hand. read more

Our experience with meg had a mix of really positive moments and some challenges along the way. In the beginning, she was warm, responsive, and extremely helpful as we started planning. Those early months felt supported and guided, and we appreciated how she helped us lay the groundwork for our year-long planning journey, as well as helping us try to get the best 'bang for our buck'. We chose the middle-tier gold planning package, which meant she was with us throughout the entire year. Looking back, we felt that the middle portion of planning was quieter than expected, with long stretches of minimal communication or updates. Because of that, we honestly think couples who prefer lighter involvement might have a better experience with her "month-of" package, since that seems to align more naturally with the areas where she was the most active and present. As we approached the final stretch, things became a bit more stressful. The timeline was finalized later than expected and included several mistakes, which made us feel uneasy heading into the wedding week. At the rehearsal, it felt like some key details we had clarified earlier didn't fully carry over, leading to some confusion. We also often felt like our requests were met with hesitation rather than collaboration or compromise, which added to the pressure of those final days. Instead of a "that sounds great, let's see how we can make that work!", a lot of our ideas were met with a "here's what I think we should do instead." With our package, she does have a full google sheets planner, that you are responsible for filling out (understandably so). However, it felt as though these were prioritized over actual communication. For this reason, looking back I think the 'month-of' contract would've been maybe a better fit and a planner guide could be purchased on etsy. All of that said, we want to acknowledge that on the actual wedding day, she was very helpful and very present, and we ended up having a truly beautiful wedding. We're grateful for the effort she put in, especially early on, and we know she has strengths that many couples will appreciate. With more consistent communication throughout the full planning period, a bit more attention to detail in the end stages, and appreciating and compromising on the couples ideas, we think future clients could have a better experience. read more

From the first moment I spoke to Meg, I knew we were going to be in good hands. We hired M and M Events for their month of coordinating package. From the beginning, Meg was kind, communicative, honest, and knowledgeable. Her forms were so helpful in organizing the important details of the day, she really took the time to get the full vision of our wedding, and she went above and beyond helping us navigate some pre wedding drama. If the wedding day had bumps in the road, I didn't have a clue because Meg kept our day as stress free as possible, handled everything behind the scenes, and executed the day perfectly to our vision. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone! read more

Meg and her team went above and beyond to provide the best night of our lives. It was the most perfect night we could have imagined and every part of the night was thoughtfully planned out by Meg and her team. Very grateful for the hard work and precision planning that went into making the day so special. read more

Events By M and M - Sparkler exit - Party & Event Planning Near Me

My husband and I got married in September at the Hilton Beachfront Resort in Santa Barbara, and we were in awe with the way our wedding day turned out, and how smooth Meg made the planning process for us. She also planned our Rehearsal dinner + Welcome Party at Margerum Wine Conpany, and that was absolutely lovely as well. From the start of the consultation, she really puts effort into getting to know you both as individuals, and together as a couple. This is really helpful for the planning process and helps guide you in delegation of topics/tasks amongst yourselves and who she should reach out to depending on the what info she needs. ie my husband is more logistics and business, whereas I'm more interested in creative/design. She is organized (heck yes to the spreadsheets!), detail-oriented, honest, understanding, patient (I'm the type who needs someone kindly keeping me on track for this kind of thing), and just all around fun to chat with. She has great recommendations for vendors and really is connected! She really works on ensuring it's YOUR special day and is flexible in going out of her way to make sure your dream wedding happens within your vision, culture, budget, (even family and guest opinions and logistics) We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for wedding or event planning services in the greater Santa Barbara area. Thank you a million, Meg! - Sandra & Michael read more

Meg was extremely difficult to work with. She doesn't let you finish a sentence. She would get upset that we would stop her mid sentence because she was not hearing what we wanted or said. All while she would interrupt us or talk over us. She doesn't understand we are the paying customer and not to talk over us She has takes no consideration over budget. She dropped us halfway through because she had to send 4 emails instead of the usual 1 email to vendors from covid. I would not recommend using Meg for any events read more

It's been over a year since our wedding with Meg and we only grow more and more grateful for her and her team as time goes on! We have been to several weddings since and are so happy to report that not once has something come up where we think "we should've done this better at our wedding." We did the middle package with Meg which was perfect for us. I definitely wanted to play an active role in the planning so this worked out well for us. Meg was always there to send us off in the right direction and get us a head start. She didn't do everything for us (as expected) but having her to promptly answer and questions and bounce ideas back and forth with saved us a ton of time! For reference, we had a substantial part in the day-to-day planning while both working full-time and attending school full-time. So it's a lot of work but totally doable if you stay organized and manage your time properly! We highly recommend working with Meg and her middle of the road package if you are ready to put in work as well. She has so much knowledge and expertise with things that are so often overlooked, like general timeline and making sure guests have a pleasant and smooth experience at your big day. Overall we loved our experience and would recommend that everyone read the fine print closely and discuss roles and responsibilities so it's made clear from the start what you're signing up for. If you sign up for a middle of the road package, that's what you're going to get and it's perfect if you want a substantial and active role in planning your perfect day! read more

Meg was the best! A true industry veteran, she knew all the best vendors and 'hacks' to make our wedding weekend perfect. Whenever I had a crazy idea, she found a way to make it happen -- all with a smile on her face. Meg and her team made everything seem effortless (which I know it wasn't) and I'm so glad she was part of our special day. read more

My wife and I strongly caution you against hiring Meg Herzer. We do not usually take the time to write Yelp reviews, despite using the site often. But after our experience working with Meg, we felt implored to warn people to stay far, far away from her. For the love of God, do not hire her. We wouldn't wish our wedding planning experience with Meg on our worst enemy. Meg did not listen to anything we wanted for our wedding. Time after time, call after call, she consistently tried to talk us into HER vision for our wedding. She had no interest in helping us achieve what we wanted. When we would push her for more vendor recommendations, for better communication, for reminders on payment deadlines, for facilitating our booked vendors, for more accountability for her ineptitude, she would throw the blame back on us. She gaslit us time and time again, rather than admit she dropped the ball on many occasions. She then tried to tell us we didn't pay for the package that would require her to do her job for us... Three weeks before our wedding, we couldn't get in touch with Meg. We tried calling her, emailing her, but she was MIA. When she finally did get back to us, she revealed she was having a baby next week! We had no idea when we hired her that she was even pregnant. And now she was telling us she would be out of commission for a while... TO BE WITH HER BABY. THAT WE HAD NO IDEA EXISTED. We're not faulting Meg for being a mother. Far from it. That's an amazing thing. We're faulting her for agreeing to plan our wedding when she knew the birth of her child would coincide with our most intense wedding planning phase! AND for not telling us about it! It was gross negligence on her part, and it was downright ridiculous to put us (and herself) in that compromised position. All of those negatives aside, we hoped beyond hope that Meg would rally on our wedding day. She owed us that, at the very least. That was a foolish dream. Meg was, again, MIA on our big day. She was at the venue, but didn't communicate with us, our families, or wedding party at all throughout the day. Her assistants were equally inept, dismissive, and rude to our families and guests. I had to wrangle my entire family for the photographers to get the photos we wanted, since Meg and her assistants were nowhere to be found. I had to tell Meg to gather all of our wedding party to tell them how to walk in for the ceremony, 30 minutes before we were set to start! Meg did not remove any stress from the wedding planning process. In fact, she did just the opposite. She added to our stress exponentially. We had to manage her and do her job for her, while being gaslit that we were the ones in the wrong. In spite of how awful Meg was, my wife and I had an amazing wedding. It was due to our own hard work, prep, and planning. Hiring Meg was the worst decision we made about our wedding. We were initially fooled, since she had experience at our venue, but we quickly realized that working with her was going to be an uphill battle. We just didn't realize it would be Mt. Everest. Please do not hire Meg Herzer and her company, Events by M and M, for your wedding. You deserve so much better for your special day! read more

I'm a little late after our wedding - but I couldn't forget to write a review for Meg West and Events by M & M. WOW!!! What an incredible job she did on our wedding at Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort. We used her full services to help us plan from start to finish. The process couldn't have been easier or gone smoother. My husband and I were both clueless and busy and so we trusted Meg to design our wedding. She is a true talent and I loved all her recommendations for design and vendors. She was just incredible.... I miss our wedding day and I relive it through our beautiful pictures and wedding video all the time! Use Events by M&M and you won't be disappointed. read more

Meg pulled together a complex event on short notice and it was amazing! Highly recommend. read more

Dear Meg from Events by M & M, Two years...two years of planning this wedding event for 100 people and just like that it was over in eight hours. It was a pleasure working with you and Noel. Noel was amazing, to say the least. Noel was alert, attentive, welcoming and such a hard worker on Friday. Our family is a tad needy and you took control of each scenario polity, professional but firm. Your entire team was amazing. Your responsiveness was amazing, when a situation was brought to your attention for whatever the reason was, you and your team was there to step in and mediate the situation immediately. Our family was ranting and raving how you gave clear and concise directions throughout the wedding rehearsal and most importantly with our mom's fear of heights. Events by M & M professionalism far exceeded our expectations and the overall vision we were going towards. Definitely, such a memorable event that will never be forgotten. We and our close friends and family enjoyed every single second of it. Words cannot express the magnitude of gratitude I have for you and your team at Events by M & M. We are truly thankful and thank you for the bottle of Brut. We are saving it for our one-year anniversary. KIT! XOXO Warm Regards, M/M Childress - May the Fourth Be with Us! read more

Even 6 months after our big day, we are still SO thankful for all the hard work Meg & her team went into making our wedding perfect. Since my husband and I both have very demanding jobs and live in the Bay Area (while trying to plan a wedding at Saddlerock in Malibu), and we had a ton of family & friends which blossomed into a 250 guest wedding, we ended up booking the full service planning/design package, and we are so happy we did! Meg was able to magically coordinate all our vendor meetings into 2 consolidated trips to LA, and whatever wasn't figured out then, was discussed in our infinite (and infinitely helpful) chain of emails & Skype/phone chats during the year before the wedding! She pointed us toward amazing vendors who we wouldn't have otherwise found (we were especially thrilled with our DJ, florist, and videographer), and made sure to offer a variety of price points for each option. Meg took care of setting up all our spreadsheets and keeping us on track for those little details we wouldn't have otherwise thought about, but were more important than we realized. All the while, she worked closely with us to make sure each piece matched our vision and made our crazy ideas come to life -- including a flash mob & a bar trivia style game! During the rehearsal and on the day of, Meg & her team's positive attitude and attention to detail continued...even down to Meg pinning the veil on my head before the ceremony (when I had almost forgotten to put it on!) She made sure to keep the evening on time and organized, which with our guest count was like herding cats -- so we were extremely grateful. Our guests continue to talk about how great of a time they had and how much they enjoyed our wedding (and we agree!) Thanks to Meg & Events by M&M for truly making it all happen. read more

So let me start by saying when you are planning YOUR wedding, you are looking for not only the best planner but someone who is capable of bringing your dream & vision to life. I found Meg after searching through many planners that I just felt weren't right for me. I knew from our first phone call that she was the one for me lol so I booked her on the spot. So I live in New York and got married in Malibu, CA. Now planning a wedding is stressful but planning a wedding across the country is even more stressful....I thought. Little did I know I was planning a wedding across the country during COVID 19. After 3 trips and 1.5 years of planning with Meg, the entire world changed. Meg asked me if I wanted to move my wedding, I said no. She told me not to worry and we were going to make it happen anyway we can (following protocol obviously). I can truly say Meg looked into the rules and kept me updated on a daily basis. Not only did Meg follow rules and protocols to make my wedding safe for all my vendors and guests, she made my vision become a reality. Although we had a smaller guest list, we did not sacrifice anything short of what I wanted. The day was absolutely perfect thanks to Meg! Not only did Meg make my dream come true in an unprecedented time, she was more than a vendor.... she was my friend. Meg was there for me every step of the way (Even the day of her own wedding when I was having a panic attack about my wedding, she answered the phone). Mind you I live in NY so It's 3 hours earlier in the East Coast. Meg always answered me. This women is a wedding God. She did nothing short of an amazing job. If I had to go back to this extremely stressful time to plan a wedding, I would as long as Meg was my planner. She can make anything happen. I highly recommend choosing Meg. I can not thank her enough. Choose Meg! read more

Meg, Mary and their team were exceptional! Of all the things we were thankful for on our wedding day, hiring Meg was at the top of our list! Meg was our week of coordinator, but really started coming in to help earlier than that. They coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure everything went smoothly on the day of, and took a lot of the stress off of us. When someone spilled red wine all down my wedding dress at the beginning of the reception, Meg's team whisked me away immediately to help. They had me fixed up and back to the party in no time! I would highly recommend anyone looking for a coordinator to hire Events By M & M! It was the best decisions we made! read more

Four stars because it was very pretty and Meg seems capable and calm. However, one of her staff was VERY insensitive and had a bad attitude to guests (including the grandmother and aunt of the bride) and was not at all good at managing her job. When asked a simple question, she answered sharply, as if we weren't completely aware as to how many people were there! She was arrogant and snippy and offended more than one person and was not gracious the entire reception. Other staffers were professional, but I wouldn't say they were warm. Many moments during the day of and the set up before, bridesmaids, the groom and the mother of the bride all mentioned how it seemed that there was no guidance as to the timeline. I think if you want a coordinator, you want someone to be the leader, not just someone who handles only her people. Maybe not? In a nutshell, I think this group can only handle a smaller event. All of their problems became clear relative to the size of the event and the details that failed had to be externally supported related to that issue. When you are throwing a large event of any kind, having to deal with the gaps becomes a real pain, and it showed with the employees, but resulted in a less than happy situation. read more

Meg and her team were excellent! Right from the beginning she worked with us to help us envision the type of wedding we wanted, keep us on budget, and keep us on a good timeline. She was very knowledgable about the venue. Everyone has told us our wedding was one of the most beautiful they had seen, and it was all because of Meg and her team. The florist she works with in southern california was particularly amazing. We couldn't have done it without their dedication and vision, she comes highly recommended! read more

I got married in Santa Barbara nearly a year ago now...needless to say, this review is long overdue! I am still so thankful for Meg, Noel, and the rest of the team for putting together a beautiful wedding that was so seamless. We could not have asked for any better! When we began the planning process, my (now) husband and I were looking for someone who could take the reigns, so we decided on the partial package. We had already decided on a venue and photographer, but I wish we had found M and M sooner, because it would have made that process so much easier! I tend to get overwhelmed with minutiae and can become paralyzed when too many options are presented. Meg was fantastic at helping to narrow things down for us. M and M provided us with a short list of recommended vendors so that we didn't have to constantly sift through numerous websites and reviews, only to then have to play phone/email tag with each one. Not only were their recommendations well qualified, but the list appeared to have a range of prices to choose from. Meg and Noel were also extremely responsive (both by email and phone), and I always felt better after having talked with them. They listened to my ideas intently, understood exactly what I wanted, and was able to run with it and make fitting suggestions when I was totally lost. Meg's warmth and energy leading up to the wedding and on the day of made me feel so at ease and confident that all would go well. And it did! On the day of the event, everything was set up beautifully as planned, and vendors were on time and working hard. The team made sure that the wedding party stayed on schedule as well, and I was so glad that they made sure my husband and I had a huge plate of food (with time to actually eat it)! With open communication, superb attention to detail, great listening skills, and a clear love for event planning, you cannot go wrong with Events by M and M. They will definitely take care of you! read more

Let's face it. Like many other brides, I am a bit of a control freak. Or a "boss" as I'd say. Handing over the reigns to execute the most important day in our lives was not easy to think about at first. BUT, once I began working with Meg and her amazing team at Events by M and M, those worries simply melted away. From our initial budget and planning meeting - when I literally knew nothing about where to start - to the rehearsal, Meg and her team were professional, informative, and able to offer their industry experience to get me and my husband started. We selected Events by M and M for their coordination package, where they assisted coordinating set up and tear down of our vendors and day-of coordination of events. This helped us have a completely seamless event that literally went off without a hitch. We had about 100 guests at a beautiful venue in the arts district in Los Angeles, and my guests are still saying almost a year later that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. Events by M and M allowed us to create our unique vision and bring it to life perfectly. We are so grateful to have had the pleasure of working with them and they get my highest recommendations! I've also attended several of their weddings as a guest - and they are no exception. The best I have been to. Thank you Events by M and M for all you did for my husband and I to have the perfect wedding! read more

Meg and her team are absolutely incredible. Meg's actualized our vision for the day in such a stunning way. We could not have imagined the day would look as gorgeous, thanks to her. Her coordination leading up to, and the day-of was wonderful. They were so helpful. We're very grateful for their help! read more

Events by M&M really went above and beyond with coordinating our wedding. It was a magical and love filled day and flowed smoothly thanks to Noel, Meg and their team. They also offer various packages for affordability. As artists, we only could afford "the day of" package yet that still includes consulting months out, helpful tools to stay organized, and a week before the wedding a thorough check in with all the vendors which was so helpful in securing that everything ran flawlessly for our big day. We chose a very DIY space (Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu) and though we did a lot of work ourselves, there are still so many unexpected challenges and small yet very important details that Noel helped us navigate beautifully. I was grateful that she kept us on schedule yet didn't make us feel rushed so we could enjoy and be present during the day. Noel is detail oriented and also made sure we were fed (very important when there's so much going on), that I had shoes to change into for my first dance, and that our car was packed with all the things on our list of take home items. She is warm and professional. I highly recommend Events by M&M! read more

What a weddingsaver! Meg and her crew are exemplary! Her expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the planning and execution of the event! As a result, we had a stress-free wedding on the day...the un ending resources, last minute changes, and dealing with all kinds of crazy unexpected variables....what a pro! Bottom line: Worth any price! read more

My go-to choice for Wedding Planners. Events by M & M is a top-notch event coordinating operation. I'm coming at this from being a wedding photographer, not a bride, so take what I say with a pinch of salt. Maybe I'm pickier? Maybe not. But this is an ace crew. They took a lot of the load off my shoulders during a very high-end Malibu wedding and I can't thank them enough or give them enough credit for their diligence and punctiliousness. read more

Meg and her team are the absolute best. Meg planned our dream wedding. We contacted Meg not quite a year before our wedding when we were having trouble selecting a venue. After speaking with her, we immediately knew we wanted to work with her, so we hired her for her full service planning package. We were unorganized and having trouble making decisions, and Meg picked up on what we wanted and put it together beautifully. She took every idea and suggestion we had without complaint. She was also able to recommend all the best vendors to us. Meg made sure we were prepared and had everything we needed for our big day, then made sure everything went perfectly smooth. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, I had no idea. My husband and I are incredibly grateful for everything Meg and her team did for us, and we highly recommend them to everyone. read more

Meg and her team are absolutely wonderful! They made my wedding completely stress free and handled any day-of problems efficiently. They are all incredibly nice and supportive, along with being very good at their jobs. It was great being able to refer vendor/guest questions to them and come to them with any concerns of my own. I was able to fully enjoy my special day because I had no doubt that they were on top of everything, and my ceremony and reception went off without a hitch! I am so glad we decided to use Events by M and M and would refer Meg to any bride to be. It was the best decision I made in my wedding planning process. :) read more

Meg was very helpful in getting resources for our wedding, even with unique request such as a electric violinist. She was resourceful and quick to met our requests! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in So Cal area! read more

Let me start by saying that I am LONG overdue in posting this review. In Sept 2018 I had the privilege of marrying my best friend. However, before any of that magic could take place, I had to start with the planning process! My initial consultation with Meg West went so smoothly. She put my mind at ease and was very thorough in explaining how they contribute to the entire wedding. The plans and pricing offered by Meg were much better than what I had seen on other sites, and the flexibility of modifying those plans is a very simple process. I knew that I had to have Meg on my side because of the amount of experience she had to offer. Her planning process is extremely detailed and extensive - and I loved every bit of it! She ensured I didn't forget any vital components to making my big day a fantastic and memorable one. She and her team were with me every step of the way, while also going above and beyond to tend to everyone else's needs; but never missing a beat during it all! If there's a hiccup, no problem. Meg is there with a solution and a way to relieve your stress. I am so thankful for everything she did in planning before the big day, during the big day, and even her friendly follow-up thereafter. Thank you Meg and team for all of your amazing hard work and making my vision become a reality! We are truly grateful. read more

My wife and I were just married on 3/5/16 and Meg was our week of coordinator for our reception only (the church venue came with a coordinator). After reading Cindy P's review, I'm simply just going to piggyback her glowing review. "Never once felt the need to walk into the reception area to make sure all the items I gave her were where I wanted them." -- FACT "When she needed my husband and I to be somewhere for a scheduled event (garter, bouquet, cake, etc) she definitely came to find us, but she never became pushy or intrusive. If we were in the middle of a conversation with someone, she would patiently wait and do her best to let us finish. She would simply and lightly place her hand on our arm, shoulder etc to discreetly let us know it was time to move on." -- FACT "When the night was over, all of my personal things from the sweetheart table, the photo and the bridal suite were completely packed up..." -- FACT I copied the above statements from Cindy P's review because Meg did exactly these things and more. When you read that Meg goes "above and beyond", this is true. When my wife and I were taking a short break between the ceremony & the reception to grab some things from our hotel room, I went in to find our room was cleaned and Meg had left a bottle of champagne (which we quickly guzzled haha). Literally, the transition from the church ceremony to the reception was FLAWLESS. Never once did my wife and I ever wonder what was going on, who was wHere, what was next. There were no hiccups or bumps in the road and if there was, my wife and I certainly didn't know about it. My vendors were VERY impressed with her timeline guide she provided them for the order of events for the reception. I could honestly write so much more about Meg, but hey, I'm a guy and I like to keep things short (and my attention span won't let me continue). My wife and I were SO impressed with the work Meg & Mary did for us. We could not imagine the chaos we would have had to deal with if we didn't hire Meg. Her & Mary were such an important part of our reception. The night went by so fast and if I could do it over, I definitely would have grabbed the mic and gave Meg & Mary a standing ovation for all the work they put into our special night. #FLAWLESS THANK YOU MEG & MARY!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!! read more

Meg was amazing to work with! From our first conversation with her, my husband and I both felt confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. She had great advise and we loved her spreadsheets that she provided for tracking our guests, decor and budget. We brought Meg on as our "Week of" coordinator. On the week of, she was incredibly helpful in communicating with our vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly from the rehearsal right through the big day. I would highly recommend Events by M and M! read more

I can't think of any better way to describe it, so I will just say this: Meg is the fairy god sister everyone wishes they had growing up. She is everything you could ever hope for: Professional, knowledgeable, intuitive, dedicated, efficient, creative, thoughtful, great at following your ideas and suggestions but also wise and knows what she's doing. She will make every one of your dreams come true, at the budget that you work out with her. She is truly truly incredible. I wish I could give her 10 stars. She helped me plan the perfect party in just 3 weeks. It was an incredible feat, I wasn't sure it would be possible, but she really pulled it off with flying colors. She had her work cut out for her too. I wanted everything from a professional Coachella artist for a DJ, to elegant 3 Michelin Star level hors d'oeuvres, full bar with professional mixologist and custom drinks, walk in photo-booth, beer pong tables, and mood lighting. She got it all. Not only that, she and her team stayed the whole night making sure everything was running smoothly, so that I could be a guest at the party! Not only that, but after the party was done, she shooed us home and we saw her carrying all the rental items with the vendors and cleaning everything up! She took care of everything and was just so wonderful. I will definitely be working with her again, and if you're looking for someone to trust for your special event, Meg is definitely the one to call. read more

Words cannot express my gratitude towards you Me What you did for me and my family throughout this journey is simply priceless. You are so wonderful to work with, and you saw my vision for that day just as I did. We truly appreciate all that you did, especially your willingness to satisfy 275 peoples wants and needs, and not ever one complaint... Nothing was ever a burden for you. I never felt stressed out on my wedding day, as I just breezed through it and knew that everything was taken care of. I cannot thank you enough. I would highly recommend you and your team for any event, big or small. read more

M&M Events helped me make my wedding stress free and allowed me to sit back and enjoy the day. Everyone is wonderful to work with and are on top of their game. I would highly recommend using them for any major event. read more

Meg and her team were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning and each step of the way, Meg made our planning stress-free. She took the time to get to know us as a couple which allowed us to trust the team to put together our desired wedding experience. They handled all of the details, communication, and scheduling with each vendor. They provided us with very helpful guidance and suggestions -- especially since we live in NY and our wedding was in CA. On the day of our wedding, Meg made it so that there were zero decisions to be made, and our only focus was to enjoy our special day with our guests who all had an amazing time! Everything was seamless and fun and a day we will cherish forever. Thanks Meg for making our wedding so special!! read more

When we booked the venue for our daughter's wedding a year ago, Saddlerock Ranch recommended Meg West from M and M Events as a wedding coordinator. Although we began a year ahead of time getting organized and I had time to plan - we would never have had everything done on time and in order without the help of Meg. Every interaction with her was positive, professional, and helpful. She was very familiar with our venue and all of the vendors we selected and provided me with a usable spread sheet to keep track of every step in planning such a big event. Meg is so knowledgeable about every detail that contributes to a successful ceremony and reception. She incorporated all of our requests, but we were so confident in her abilities and choices that we readily turned over the day to her. read more

As a Mother of the Bride, I was not involved in the decision-making on choosing an event planner. Saying that, my daughter was so right on with Events by M and M. Meg was fantastic!! As we got closer to the wedding date, Meg's involvement and hard work really was apparent. She was calm throughout all the craziness leading up to the big day. For example, there was rain in the forecast for an outdoor wedding at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. She called me and had a plan. I was so thankful for her due diligence. And on the day of the wedding, we didn't worry about anything. Meg said that the goal was for a "seamless" wedding. It was perfect!! Thanks again for all your effort.

I want to start off by saying that I was hesitant about hiring a wedding coordinator for my wedding day, especially since I was having a smaller wedding. Going with M and M Events was the absolute BEST decision I made for my wedding. My wedding day was better then I hoped because of M and M! Noel was my coordinator and she is absolutely fabulous! She was so hard working, so personable, so helpful, and she respected my vision. If your looking for a wedding coordinator, I highly recommend M and M Events! M and M Events is worth every penny and more! read more

We booked Events by M and M for Week of/Day of Coordination services. Easily one of the best choices I made during my wedding planning process! Meg and Mary were super helpful and super sweet and Meg made me feel so comfortable and was very tolerant of my quirkiness! They helped me stay organized and focused, and talked me through all the little details that I wasn't sure of! I'm a very indecisive person, and Meg helped me process things in a way that not only helped me MAKE the choice, but helped me make a good choice! Even though I did the "planning" piece myself, Meg is the one who really brought everything together that day and made my vision come to life. On the day of, Meg ensured every detail was perfect! Even things that I hadn't thought of! She filled all the gaps. And to top it all off, Meg sure that I was taken care of that day. She helped me stay calm, and not feel rushed or in a hurry. She made me feel like my needs were priority and she made sure that I was happy every second of that day! I absolutely adored her and her team and would recommend them 1,000 times over. THANK YOU SO MUCH MEG!!!! You are a freaking rockstar and were a pleasure to work with! read more

Meg was our event coordinator at our wedding last weekend at Sherwood Country Club. She did an amazing job! We could not have asked for the night to go any smoother. I had a candy bar set up and she even brought in some of her own stands to make it look fantastic. Throughout the whole evening, she made sure I was okay and at the end, everything was all packed up and loaded into our car. I didn't even notice when all of that was taking place. The tool on my dress started to unravel so I went into the bridal suite to figure out how to fix it and she came to the rescue pinning it up. She is super organized and has a cheery personality. My husband was really impressed with everything she did and even commented a few times after the wedding how she went above and beyond the duties of a coordinator. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would! read more

We started planning our wedding like any other couple would, throwing every half-composed idea at wedding planners in hopes that they could bridge the gap between my ramblings and an overloaded Pinterest board. I knew I wanted it to have a very relaxed romantic feel without seeming too uptight. We had picked a gorgeous winery as our venue and I knew it could embody both of our wants. After interviewing with Meg I instantly clicked with her "get-it-done" personality and humor! It was only a few conversations with my parents, and we began our 7-month planning journey! Now, seven months isn't a lot of time in the wedding planning world but, Meg and her team absolutely nailed every vision, vendor, and walk through. Her design board checked off every "want" and provided options within our budget without every sacrificing the experience. It was the easiest and most enjoyable event process I have ever been a part of even with some type of meeting or walk through happening back to back. I knew Meg was executing every detail as her and her team kept me in the loop with where we were at in processes and answered any random question I had without having to wait. My fiancé and family were all very excited about the big day and could not wait to see what our vendors had dreamt up in person. Unfortunately, the unthinkable happened. We had arrived the Thursday before our wedding, just as the fires struck Malibu. Friday morning, I was trying to keep my calm and without hesitating Meg immediately called me and started working with vendors to secure a game plan to make the day come together despite the road closures and air conditions. A few hours later, while watching the news from our hotel surrounded by smoke, I saw a reporter in front of my venue with flames behind him. Everyone expected me to be a total mess but, it was my faith in Meg and her stellar team that kept me so calm. In the matter of half a working day, with no WiFi, she had found a new venue, secured new vendors, and assisted in signing new contracts and getting memos out to our guests all before dinner. I didn't get a rehearsal, I never got to say "I do" where I had envisioned I would. But I wouldn't change anything that happened that weekend. The day was absolutely gorgeous and filled with more love than it would have originally been, I think. I owe all of my memories, peace, and happiness from that weekend to Meg and her team. I am almost crying happy tears writing this. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me and my family. I love you always Meg, thank you for everything. read more

Meg is very professional and helpful. She helped me let go and relax after just talking to her on the phone. She pointed me in the direction of my venue and has just tons of great ideas! I would recommend her to anyone! I even had mentioned her to a vendor and they knew her right away and had nothing but rave reviews from their experiences with her. read more
