What is the mission of LVR Events?

We create wedding magic! Our goal is to always help our couples create a wedding day that's truly reflective of themselves & their community. We also live for helping couples enjoy the process of planning their wedding. The wedding day itself goes by so quickly — all that time and energy that went into making an amazing event, and poof — it's over before you know it! So a little way to cheat life & enjoy your wedding longer is to have fun while planning! But we get it — it's totally overwhelming & nerve-wracking. That's where we come in! We help couples filter out all the nonsense & reassure them that, yes, they're doing it right!

What is the origin story of LVR Events?

Meg's been a planner and a force for getting things done forever. LVR was accidentally born when Meg, a corporate event planner, realized that weddings were the perfect way to marry (haha, so punny) her talent for logistics & event planning with her love of pretty parties and celebrations of love & joy.

What is your favorite project that you've worked on?

Oh gosh, that's really so hard to say! I feel like a parent who says they love all their children equally — it's totally true. From destination weddings on the beach in Mexico to a reception with a performance by not 1 but 2 Liza Minnelli impersonators (in full drag) to performing an intimate ceremony in Central Park...honestly, they're all so damn special, I can't choose!

How are you a "wedding space disruptor"?

We are perpetually working to break down the notion that you need to have all the things & they need to be just so in order for your wedding to be perfect. We firmly believe that all it takes to have a perfect wedding is an amazing partner & a desire to commit to one another forever. All the rest is just frosting. Sure, we love frosting, but at the end of the day, what we work to help our couples realize is that the wedding itself is a celebration of what's truly meaningful.

What three ingredients are necessary for a great day at LVR Events?

Coffee (always iced), puppies (Meg has 2 of the cutest pups you'll ever meet), and checklists!

What are some traits of your ideal clients?

Our ideal clients are madly in love & excited to celebrate in a way that feels right for who they are. That's different for everyone, and that's what we love about doing what we do!

What Past Clients Have To Say:

"Meg is fabulous. We booked Meg for partial planning for our recent wedding. She's a planner, stage manager, and general wedding therapist who helped talk us through the whole process and walk us through decision points with her honest opinion, but never any pressure or expectation. She listened closely to what we wanted (and didn't). As someone who didn't have a strong vision of what she wanted, was planning long distance, and was busy with non-wedding life events, I couldn't have pulled it off without Meg. One of the number one best things she did for us was recommend an incredible array of other NY vendors who all worked together seamlessly and fit our vibe, budget, and priorities. We had a great time on our wedding day and so did our guests - because Meg had the all details under control. The number one recommendation I now have for friends getting married is to invest in a wedding coordinator, and Meg is a fantastic choice.”
