    Magnolia Grove Weddings and Events

    I remember the first time that I called Meagan at Magnolia Grove weddings - I knew from the start…read morethat she was someone very special and I felt incredibly lucky that she was available on my date of April 4, 2020. I knew she was good at her job- I had seen her work and she planned a friend's wedding, but I didn't realize how incredible she actually was - not only as a professional, but also as what a wonderful person and friend. During our initial conversation and meeting, neither of us anticipated how drastic the world was going to change, and I was so excited about Meagan's ability to translate my messy thoughts into a wedding more beautiful and special than beyond my craziest imagination (and within my budget!) The storyboard she created took all the elements that I talked about and pintrested, and built the most beautifully personalized dream wedding. Dave and I had our dream venue secured and Meagan pretty much took care of the rest. She provided recommendations on lighting, DJ and flowers, all who were easy to work with, accommodating and nice. Her team designed personalized octopus invitations and matching rehearsal dinner invites and managed all of RSVPs for both the wedding and the rehearsal dinner. Beyond the management of the wedding, she took the time to get to know me - she met and understood the dynamics of my relationship and friendships, what makes me tick (cake), and even attended my bachelorette party. She answered my crazy texts and phone calls with positivity and calmness and never let me stress out. As we continued to get closer to the date, we felt confident that in just a few short weeks, we were going to have our dream wedding. And then COVID-19 happened. I think I was the first client of Meagan's to want to postpone - it was early - before the quarantine, back when kids were still in school and life was normal. I remember calling her and going back and forth on what to do - I had even gotten a case of hand sanitizer just in case we needed them at the wedding... oh how naive we were. We made the decision to postpone - hoping that things would be better in the fall. Meagan jumped into action, secured the venue for September and Every. Single. Vendor - flowers, lighting, DJ, food, linens, cake. She did it all so I didn't have to, all while standing by my side while I mourned the day and drank wine. The pandemic has not gotten any better, and we have made the decision to postpone our September wedding, which has resulted in us losing our venue. Once again, Meagan has stepped in to help us weigh our options and is helping move forward. I could not be more thankful to have Meagan and the Magnolia Grove Weddings team on my side and standing with me through this process. There are truly no words to express my gratitude and admiration for the support I have been provided and I cannot thank Meagan enough for everything she has done and continues to do.

We know that one wedding planner can not effectively "be the best" at every style of wedding, which is why we have a team of planners with different specialties and personality types, who are excited to work with you! It's our goal to meet each couple where they are at in the planning process, and determine how we can best serve them. Our motto at Magnolia Grove is "creating events as beautiful and unique as our couples," and it is our hope that each Magnolia Grove couple walks away from their wedding feeling valued and appreciated, and that their love story was told in a beautiful way.

    While this venue appears to be gorgeous, LGBTQ couples BEWARE. After noticing several religious…read moreitems in their pictures, I emailed to ask if they were open to working with queer couples and got the following in response: "This venue is located at our Christian home. We personally have gay friends but we believe their behavior is a sin. I am a sinner and I believe we should love the sinner and hate the sin. The current law allows gay couples to marry. I think gay couples should respect the beliefs of others just as they want to be respected. " Clearly, they don't want to come right out and say we are not welcome, but they made it clear. Nowhere in my initial email was I disrespectful to them, so I'm not sure whey they felt the need to point out that we needed to respect their beliefs. A simple, "We can not accommodate your request at this time," would have been fine. We were not asking them to officiate our wedding. We were asking them if they would do their jobs as business owners, take our money, host our event, and keep their personal opinions to themselves. How their religious beliefs impact their business I don't really understand. It is really too bad, because as I mentioned, this venue looks absolutely gorgeous. However after the rude and frankly condescending email back, I will be taking my business elsewhere. I suggest those who support marriage equality do not support this highly unprofessional business.

    The venue is absolutely beautiful! The owners are fantastic and will go out of their way to make…read moresure your special day is everything you dreamed of! It's so calming and the views are stunning. Guests will have an unforgettable experience and the pictures are all fantastic here due to the breathtaking natural beauty. Five stars!!

    It's a bit of a hike out to Fearrington, but worth it for the change of scenery. It's a popular…read morevenue for weddings, with it's open-air country side and grazing cows. There's not really too much in the way of shopping -- a nursery, a cute two-story store with accessories, a cafe, a bookstore -- but the atmosphere is really inviting. Fearrington has several venues for events, including the main house, the Barn (which sometimes even partners up with McIntyre's for open-to-the-public author events), and smaller meeting rooms. So in addition to weddings, it's a good place for corporate functions. Lots of neighborhoods in Fearrington, too. If it's in your price-range and you don't mind the commute, it's a beautiful place to live. There's even a lake with surrounding trails.

    I LOVE this place. Family and I went for Halloween this year. It was my first visit and it was…read morequite memorable. The book store is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. I looked through their whole website because the people who work at Fearrington put a lot of love and work into the place. I didn't get to dine anywhere, but they have a restaurant and I think a take&go place. I could spend HOURS in the bookstore. My niece and nephew got to hear a story on Halloween. THe place was covered in pumpkin carvings and turnip carvings hanging from trees! SO cute. If I ever plan on getting married, this would definitely be an ideal spot for a reception, and possibly a ceremony. I've read about the Barn, and it was featured in the Today show. This would be a dream spot for any bride, I would think. Can't wait to go back when they light up for the holidays!!

    When we were planning a wedding from out of state, we knew we would need some help coordinating the…read moreday-of. From our first phone call, I immediately clicked with Amanda. She was enthusiastic, and had great tips on how to implement our ideas. She has totally customizable service, meaning you can choose the exact aspects you're looking for, within your budget. We hired Amanda for the day-of coordination - my fiance and I wanted to do the planning ourselves, but we needed help to make sure everything went smoothly on the actual day. We also added on catering guidance. Amanda worked in catering previously, and has a good handle of what to look for in catering contracts. She set up tastings with local caterers, and was able to accommodate our short trip in town. We met with Amanda at the venue a couple times, and she was always very responsive via email and phone. I know she handles a lot of events, but I never felt rushed. On the wedding day, everything went smoothly! I heard of tiny incidents after the fact that she took care of immediately. It was great to know that our wedding was in extremely capable hands, and my family and I could just enjoy the day. From the small things (making sure I had my shoes and phone in the getaway car) to the big things (making sure everything was on schedule!), she handled it all with ease and a smile. She has a great reputation in Durham, and I can attest that she lives up to the hype! I cannot recommend her enough!
