I had the privilege of officiating (as a pastor) a wedding where Meggie served as the coordinator. Without question, Meggie is (by far) the best coordinator I've ever worked with. From start to finish, Meggie and her team were organized, professional and put everyone at ease, even during a blizzard. She also had just the right balance between being directive, yet allowing everyone to give input and make their preferences known. I recommend her ! read more

It is difficult for me to even know where to begin in describing what a gift Meggie Francisco is. Meggie does not just plan events--she designs, executes, and creates a deeply purposeful and indelible gathering that sets the stage for joy, celebration, and meaningful moments. I speak from the perspective of both the bridesmaid and the bride. As a bridesmaid in one of her weddings, I truly had the most stress-free day. Meggie took care of each and every detail with the utmost professionalism and careful communication, which meant that as bridesmaids we were free to focus 100% on celebrating the bride and groom. It's the only time I've been a bridesmaid without any confusion or harried running around behind the scenes on that day. Meggie provided me a true gift in getting to be fully present in every way for my dear friends. As the bride, Meggie was a fierce, strong, yet graceful, servant-hearted leader. She is a professional in every way, a clean communicator, and yet a genuine friend. She seamlessly carries all these roles in order to nail every detail. From having to navigate finding me a new hair stylist in the last two weeks, to finding creative ways to execute our dreams within our budget, to putting out last-minute fires, to building an incredible wedding vendor team that pulled off everything without a hitch, Meggie does everything. And the best part, she does it all with grace, class, and a genuine compassion that makes her an amazing gem. Please look no further! Meggie Francisco is truly world-class. read more

My mom actually found Meggie back in September of 2016, shortly after my husband and I got engaged. We were very aware that although she is a well-known destination wedding planner and stylist, she had never planned a wedding in Italy before. Naturally, before we made it official, there were doubts. However, from the moment we hired Meggie we felt an absolute immediate sense of security. There wasn't a moment that went by that we ever felt this was her first Italian wedding. Aside from her own countless hours of research and preparation, she delivered on every promise she had made. She put together the most outstanding group of vendors and executed the entire event with the utmost professionalism. There was not a single detail that she didn't think of! After all is said and done, I can sit back and honestly say that Meggie put on the most amazing event that myself, family & friends had ever attended. We have not only gained incredible memories but also a forever friend. read more

To say that Meggie Francisco did an immaculate job as our wedding planner would be an enormous understatement. Besides choosing to marry each other, selecting Meggie to plan our wedding has proven to be the best decision we've made to date. After about 11 months of planning solo, we hired Meggie to help us pull everything together. We had about three months left, and considering the remaining items on the list, we needed a miracle - quickly! The miracle came packaged as a bubbly brunette with a spunky and fun-loving personality. One of the many exceptional characteristics that you'll notice immediately is Meggie's pristine attention to detail. She leaves no loose ends, she is diligent, and does it all with a smile. I'm sure Meggie works with multiple couples at a time, but she was always available to us, and we never felt neglected. She went above and beyond any and every expectation we had. We were blown away by her creativity - there was nothing she was not willing to tackle on. She came up with ingenious ideas that helped us stay within our budget without compromising on quality. She even made custom escort cards for our guests and was not the least bit intimidated by 13-letter Nigerian names. The week of our wedding, she provided a thorough day-of timeline for vendors (minute-by-minute), and a more general one for our bridal party and family members. This was incredibly helpful in keeping everyone informed and on the same page. Meggie is punctual, organized, accommodating, poised...she's pretty much a magician! : ) In all sincerity, she is one-of-a-kind! There was absolutely no way we could have pulled off a 400-guest count Nigerian/American wedding so beautifully. I dare not fail to mention that our wedding day just so happen to be the coldest February 27th in Texas history, which meant snow! (Thanks Princess Elsa!) Considering we live in Texas, three inches of snow is pretty much the apocalypse to some people, lol! I did not hear one complaint from Meggie. She was focused, and made sure we enjoyed every moment of our special day. In fact, I got feedback from our family and friends that she constantly checked on them, and was so courteous and kind. Her service transcends beyond the wedding day. Meggie continued to reach out to us and made sure we had everything squared away for our honeymoon! I could never run out of the kindest things to say about Meggie and her entire team. We are extremely lucky and honored to have had the pleasure of working with Meggie for the remainder of our wedding planning process. Please look no further if you are searching for a planner that is personable, clever, intelligent, resourceful, and genuine. There is no way Meggie will let you down. Meggie - You deserve so much more than we could ever offer you. We could not thank you enough for everything you for us and all our guests. We wish the very best for you. With Love, The Davis' read more

A few months before our wedding date, my husband and I decided to change the location of our wedding from a destination wedding to a wedding at home to accommodate more friends and family. We had decided to maintain our relationship with our wedding planner from Los Angeles since we had paid her most of her dues, and make most arrangements ourselves with her help and guidance. A couple of months passed (a few more months closer to the wedding date), and we were feeling lost and overwhelmed with the planning process. When Meggie came into the picture and from our initial meeting, Ben and I knew that she was the one for us. The entire year prior, we had met with multiple planners, many of them with great personalities - but none of them did we both JUST KNOW. We knew from that initial meeting that her passion was unquestionable, that we would be in good, capable hands, that she would make our needs her priority, and that we could trust her fully with our special day. Ben and I left feeling that initial meeting at once relief and excitement. In just a few months, Meggie had guided us through coordinating A-Z, making sure everything was the way we wanted it. She made the whole process not only easy but fun! Meggie was a consummate organizational professional and a master of her craft, helping us navigate the big and small details with unwavering optimism. Meggie exceeded all of our expectations and delivered us the perfect wedding celebration. To this day, our friends and family still tell us what a great time they had at our beautiful wedding. We can not convey how much of this we owe to Meggie. Most of all, she was (and is) a pleasure to be around and we are happy to call her our friend. Thank you Meggie! read more

Meggie and her team did an amazing job with this wedding in the Denver area, down to the final detail. Since my husband is a pastor, we attend a fair number of wedding rehearsals and ceremonies - Meggie is one of the best planners we've seen in action. She proactively handled any issues that came up, and was very protective of the bride & groom so they were free to simply enjoy making memories with loved ones. Highly recommend! read more

Meggie is, in my humble opinion, the best at what she does. I was referred to Meggie by our videographer, Henry Martens. When Meggie and I first met, I immediately felt the stress and weight of wedding planning lift off my shoulders. Meggie has vast knowledge of wedding planning, from researching and booking vendors, logistics involved in a destination wedding, and providing wonderful customer service to all parties involved, not just the bride. She is a genius at working with all members of the family, yet ensuring the true love story of the bride and groom is told in their way. Meggie worked with me on our destination wedding in Lake Tahoe, CA at The Ritz Carlton. She helped budget, schedule and complete phone calls with vendors, brainstorm and design the most beautiful wedding day. She arrived to our destination a few days in advance to help us walk the property, go over our schedule of events, and actually choreographed the entire rehearsal. On our wedding day, Meggie was bouncing back and forth between the bridal suite, the grooms' room and the reception hall. She made sure that my bridesmaids knew how to properly steam my dress; an hour before the wedding when she realized the groom hadn't had a bite to eat since 6 AM, she brought him a personal pizza. It was these seemingly small touches that have such a lasting effect on her clients and their wedding day. Throughout the wedding, Meggie made sure that no one was wanting for anything. We (the bride and groom) always had a fresh drink in our hands, a bobby pin when my hair started to slip, or a moment of silence together amidst the chaos. Our event felt effortless and meaningful because of her excellent planning. I couldn't imagine my wedding day without Meggie, and am so grateful for her. read more

Anyone that gets engaged needs to hire Meggie ASAP! She is absolutely amazing! Not one stone goes unturned with her and she will make sure your day is above and beyond anything you could've hoped or imagined! My wedding was 03.20.2015 at the Milestone and while currently living in North Carolina and planning a wedding in Dallas, Meggie was there for me every step of the way to plan my wedding. She is just all around amazing at what she does and not to mention she is such a great person to! Just got engaged? Hire Meggie Francisco now! :) read more

We were planning on having a small family wedding, we were hesitant to hire a wedding planner because it wasn't really in our budget and we thought we had almost everything done for the wedding. Well, two weeks before the wedding, my photographer recommended that we hire Meggie, at first we weren't sure if we really needed the help, but last minute we decided to move forward and it was the best decision we made! I am one of five girls and my parents said that they will never have another wedding without Meggie! She made the day seamless, worked so hard to make every dream and desire come to life and was so much fun to have around! The wedding was on time, but never felt rushed, ended on time but never felt rushed, every vendor was taken care of, she new and understood the vision i had and communicated with the vendors to change a few things that i didn't even think of in order to help that vision come to life. She saved us financially because of her experience and i was actually able to get more due to her help! We are all so thankful for Meggie and again, highly recommend her! read more

Meggie Franciso was my day of coordinator for my wedding a couple of weeks ago in New Braunfels ,Texas. It was such a pleasure to work with her and her assistant( and also husband, Matt). Meggie has a passion for what she does and it shines through in every email, phone call, or meeting. Meggie set up numerous phone, and in person, meetings with me( sometimes lasting hours) just to make sure that everything for my wedding day would be EXACTLY like I wanted Planning a wedding can be stressful and probably more stressful than I had realized at the beginning. Meggie took off all of that stress by dealing with the vendors for me, setting up to do list, shopping for centerpieces I couldn't find, and even making some DIY décor for my ceremony. No task was too small or too big for Meggie. There were certain lanterns that I was looking for in bulk to use for my centerpieces, but I was having trouble locating. I mentioned this to Meggie and within a couple of hours she had found them for me and alleviated the stress. Meggie has a way of turning what could be stressful situation into a pleasant one. Weeks before the wedding, Meggie sent me a timeline of how the day would go, and she confirmed all times with each of my vendors. Meggie also set up a timeline of everything for me to do the week before, day before, and morning of the wedding so I could see how everything would go. What a relief it was to not have to worry about everything that had to be done on my own and it was all laid out in front of me what my tasks were. Every detail of my décor and schedule were discussed on how I would like for things to look and the day to go. No detail went unnoticed. If it was important to me, it was going to be done. Meggie and Matt executed all of my wedding day décor exactly like I had imagined it the day of the wedding. They both went the extra mile to even steam out my linens the morning of the wedding because there was a small crease in them. Everything was beautiful and nothing was overlooked. The day of the wedding I began to stress( like all brides do as the wedding approaches) and Meggie calmed my nerves and reassured me it would all be perfect, and it truly was. The day of the wedding I was able to sit back and relax knowing that my event was great hands. After the ceremony, Meggie had a drink waiting for my husband and me. I don't think our glasses ever went empty the entire night. Meggie and Matt checked my husband and I into our hotel for us, and our belongings were waiting for us upon arrival back to our room. Meggie also sent all of our cards from guests back with us that night. What a nice time it was for my husband and I to be able to read our cards together in the room that night. Also in our room were lit candles, a bottle of champagne, and a gift basket from Meggie Franciso Events full of yummy goodies for us. It was so nice to arrive to all of that after the day. My parents, bridal party, guests, and even my other vendors, were all impressed with Meggies abilities and her willingness to handle anything and everything that came her way. Everything Meggie and Matt did was with a smile. She never made me or anyone else feel that we were a burden or a inconvenience for her. I was told numerous times how much of a blessing she was, and I already knew it myself. My wedding would not have been what it was without Meggie. I highly recommend Meggie Franciso Events for any event you have to plan, as you will be in GREAT hands. read more

Meggie did a fabulous job on a wedding we catered recently. Due to another caterer backing out, we had a very short lead time. Meggie was always very organized and clear in her requests for adjustments to the menu. She was great to work with and the client was very happy! read more

Meggie truly walks on water. Two weeks before the wedding which was Saturday night, Meggie discovered that our caterer for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding (250 people) had suspended his business for 30-60 days. (or how know when or what he is doing) He was not responding to our calls. Before Meggie called to tell us, she had proactively looked at our options and worked with her people she knew to help us out. She brought calm to a panic situation and she left no detail untouched. We were pretty frazzled as the caterer took off with $15,000. Meggie was with us every step of the way helping us with all of our vendors and helping us select new ones to regroup. She was professional, calm, and walked us through every detail. She managed all the vendors and assured our quotes were correct and even negotiated for us through our crises. Our wedding was spectacular and a true success. She made sure everything went smoothly from the rehearsal dinner to the wedding day. And still working to try to recover some of our funds. We could have not gotten through this without Meggie. She is genuine, caring, has a big heart and extremely organized. She went way beyond the call of duty on this one. She was with us every step of the way. We really cannot thank Meggie enough and no way we can pay her enough her for all that she has done for us. She was truly a blessing as we started out without a wedding planner. I don't recommend it. Beyond our crises, there are so many things we would have never thought through. No worries with Meggie.. Thank you Meggie! read more

Meggie Francisco Events Wedding Planning team is as good as it gets! I am not one to write reviews Yet I feel compelled to write about Meggie and Sarah and how their work ethic, diligence, and professionalism went above and beyond what one would expect from their wedding planner.
