When my now husband and I sat down and started discussing our wedding, he initially said you’re so organized and DIY, why do you need a wedding planner? You could do this with your eyes closed. I explained since we were having an out of town wedding, I thought it would be beneficial, while I couldn’t be there, they could, and also I knew absolutely nothing about planning a wedding. That being said, we agreed to hiring one, but just knew that I needed to find one that I connected to. I had made a few calls and was able to talk to the various planners on the phone; however, after I talked with Meredith, I called my now husband and said I found my second other half. Immediately, I knew Meredith was the person I wanted to spend the next 8 months planning our wedding with. During the initial conversation it felt as if I was talking to a friend, I shared what we wanted, the vision we had, and it was go time. I want to emphasize that a destination wedding is not an easy task and an even harder task when your wedding planner is not located in the area. However, Meredith heard what we wanted. She knew we wanted a country wedding, set in a barn, and that we wanted everything outside and relaxed. Within a couple of weeks, she had a list of places for us to review. As we were becoming discouraged with not finding a place due to date or cost, Meredith e-mailed with an additional option. Let me just say she nailed it! This place was absolutely perfect. We set up a time to visit the venue and before we knew it, we were booked! From that point on, Meredith led us to finding perfect vendors from the photographer and videographer, to the food and cake, our guests are still talking about it. With every person we met, it seems Meredith just kept finding more and more people that were cut from the same cloth. Everyone we kept coming in contact with, we were like, we want to be their friends. I kept thinking to myself, this wedding planning thing was a breeze, thank goodness for Meredith! Meredith was by my side every step of the way, with weekly e-mails that answered my questions or her e-mailing with ideas. When need be, we even skyped. Up until the day of our wedding, I never questioned anything. She just had everything so organized. The weekend of, she came up the day before. Because of our relationship that we had built and feeling truly like she was family and not just another number, she came to our rehearsal dinner and hung out with our entire family. The next day she was at the venue early, checking the weather down to the minute, setting up centerpieces, laying out the DIY projects I had made, just the way I had dreamed. There was no stress. We just knew she had everything covered and it was. The day was absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for anything differently. Blue Fancy (Meredith) without a doubt is the way to go!! I could go on and on about her and how wonderful she is, but if you’re looking for a planner, you’ll just find out yourself! It will be one of your best decisions for your special day!

Meredith was hands down my favorite person to work with during my wedding planning process. Imagine its a few months away from the wedding and I suddenly find that working full time and planning this huge wedding is no longer working..... I panic. I message Meredith on a Tuesday during my lunch break and she met me promptly at 5 pm after work just around the corner from where I work, AMAZING!!! She came to the meeting prepared and filled with wonderful ideas and enthusiasm. I knew the second she introduced herself that I wanted to hire here and just kept my fingers crossed that she would be available! Thank goodness, she was! Meredith met with me once more before the day of too learn all the little details, and then again at the venue. The big day quickly approached and as each day passed Meredith made me feel at ease by providing wonderful timelines, instructions to vendors, and contacting each of my vendors. She made sure to tell them that they should contact her instead of me, this was a HUGE RELIEF!!!!!! The big day went amazing it it was all because Meredith went above and beyond. You know when people say things like, "let me know if you need help" and then they find out its raining and dont want to help anymore... I had people like that. Meredith stepped up and helped do EVERYTHING the day of. It was amazing, she told people where to set up chairs, where decorations went, she was a wonderful leader and everything was so perfect. The cherry on top of Meredith being so amazing was that moments before the wedding started I got a call from a friend saying the shuttle never showed up, GASP! Meredith calmly told me , "Everything would be fine, I have this handled." Sure enough, a she found a new bus company in moments and everything was perfect. Meredith is so well connected that when she called the company the woman who answered said, "OH! Is this Meredith! We will get a bus over there in minutes!" If you are looking for someone to coordinate your wedding, you definitely want to be a Blue Fancy Bride :)

Meredith is the absolute best. My wife and I did most of our initial planning on our own, but we reached a point where it became clear that we needed some help. We met with Meredith to discuss her "partial service" plan, and knew right away we wanted to work with her. She is warm and friendly, and it is clear that she cares about her clients and about what she does. She took the time to ask us about ourselves and our relationship, our vision for the wedding, and any particular concerns we had. I gave her all of our vendor information and she handled all of the coordination from there on out. She was always easy to reach, and made sure that we always knew what was going on. Ill admit it, Im a control freak, but I felt comfortable with Meredith handling everything. The day of the rehearsal I was pretty overwhelmed, but she helped keep me calm-including texting people who were late so we didnt have to worry about it. We gave her all of our decorations and pictures of how we wanted them set up, and when we arrived the next morning everything looked EXACTLY how I pictured it. Absolute perfection. The whole day went incredibly smoothly-I didnt notice a single issue. I was told later that a couple of things had come up, and Meredith had handled them before we even knew. Our wedding was almost a year ago, and we still talk about how hiring Meredith was the best money spent on our wedding. We are both a little high-strung and typically nervous about other people handling things that are important, but we were instantly comfortable hiring Meredith and are so glad we did. Bottom line, if you need help planning or coordinating your wedding-whether its day of or the whole shebang-contact Blue Fancy.

When I started the process of planning our wedding, I quickly became overwhelmed. We had a few basic ideas of how we wanted things to be, but actually figuring out how to make that happen was another story. There are so many options and details to consider, but simply not enough time to work through it, especially considering we started planning in early spring for a late summer/ early fall wedding. I knew we needed help and started inquiring with planners. Meredith responded very quickly to my inquiry and suggested we meet in person. I was impressed by her approach, first getting to know us and the situation before she discussed her approach to the planning process. I found her very approachable and genuine, but most important she is so passionate about what she does. Her commitment was to help deliver our idea for our wedding, stick to the budget and keep us on track for important deadlines. She more than delivered on this, from planning to the day of, she had it covered. It was great to have someone do legwork for you, contact vendors, etc, and then simply be able to make the decisions from there. Meredith has great connections with vendors and we got great service from all that we worked with. She was great at providing ideas and suggests that worked with or improved on what we wanted. To be able to enjoy the process and not have to stress the details was amazing. Our wedding turned out just as we said we wanted, a fun, social, celebration with our family and friends. The day went off without a hitch and a great time was had by all. It was a wonderful day and would not have happened without working with Meredith!! Robyn Lippert and Brian Ingles
