My now husband and I hired Leave it to Meeka to be our wedding planner/day of event. We were so lucky and grateful to be able to hire her, considering it was short notice, hiring her in July for an early August wedding. We had been up in the air about hiring a planner/coordinator, but looking back, we are SO glad we did! Meeka was professional, friendly, and flexible, working together with me to make a plan that worked for both of us, as I had already planned most of the wedding. She brought forth ideas that I hadn't thought of and proposed some additional decoration ideas that added some perfect finishing touches to make our wedding look and feel the way we imagined and hoped for. Before the wedding, Meeka attended my pre wedding meeting at the venue, which was great to get the venue and her acquainted before the date, and she also came to the rehearsal to help us practice. On the day of the wedding, Meeka and her assistant (who was also great!) were available all day and stayed until the end of the ceremony, ensuring that my husband and I had all of our cards and gifts, as well as our decorations to take home. Meeka made sure that my train looked right before walking down the aisle, she ensured that we got plates of the appetizers and food made up for us, and she even hunted down a piece of cheesecake for me after it had been taken away, as I had been too busy having a good time to eat it beforehand. Between the finishing touches she proposed, helping with the entrance, coordinating with the vendors (including delivering their checks on my behalf), and making sure everything was tied up at the end of the night so we didn't have to worry about it, MEEKA WAS AMAZING AND SO WORTH IT! My husband and I would recommend her services for anyone planning a special event! Pictured are some items we hired her and her team to make for us: the flowers on the chairs the backdrop behind the sweetheart table the candles we had by the gift table the Mr & Mrs sign we rented and how she decorated our sweetheart table (centerpiece done by outside florist already hired) We also had her team make our seating chart, which we were very pleased with, and we also rented small candles for the tables and a gift box.

Hired on Thumbtack

Having Meeka as my wedding coordinator was essential to my wedding day and she NAILED it!! Anytime I reached out to her, she was always ready and willing to help. I even had a moment where I thought a vendor had cancelled, and her team found a backup within 24 hours (less than that). She keeps things running smooth and as a professional worry-er, she kept me calm. She is super professional and sweet and I honestly could not have had the wonderful day I had without her and her team. She is worth every penny and I would highly recommend her to any bride. Thank you so much Meeka for everything!!

Meeka is the best, hands down! All my ideas that I had, her and her team brought them to life. During the planning process she was very professional with helping me plan everything out. Leading up to the day, she made sure to check on me to see how I was doing personally. Because as we all know, planning a wedding can be stressful! We booked her as our coordinator as well, and I'm glad we did. She took care of everything! Only thing I had to worry about was getting ready and walking down the aisle. The decorations were gorgeous, felt like I was in a fairytale. I had certain issues arise that she was able to fix immediately. My bouquet didn't turn out the way I wanted, and her and her team were able to modify it to look gorgeous! I forgot my garter at home, so she made one out of lace, and it worked out perfectly! The whole day was a breeze, she calmed me down when I was getting a little overwhelmed. My wedding day turned out perfect, and I give a huge credit to Meeka and her team! Not only is she amazing at her job, she also is a good person in her heart. She is someone that you can trust with any of your events, not just weddings :)

Meeka was kind, communicative, great to talk to, and had lots of ideas and suggestions for my event! I never felt like I was pressured to do anything, but her insight from her vast experience in decorating for my wedding, even with some planning aspects (I only hired her for decorating service) was so appreciated and helpful. She was completely fine with me emailing her a bunch of ideas as they came to my mind, and she did make sure to keep in touch to let me know she was still working on ideas, amongst the many other events she's hired for. I wanted relatively simple decor with emphasis on a few important details or areas and she 100% delivered. I will say that I am a "plan everything months ahead of time" type of person (aka, opposite of a procrastinator) and of course, overall wedding jitters all culminated in me being nervous as time drew nearer for finalization of planning but I knew from previous reviews that Meeka has a lot of experience, including planning last-minute events. So if you're like me, who gets antsy when things aren't done super early, just take a breath and calm yourself, Meeka WILL deliver :) I also asked her to arrange flowers for me and my bridal party (as well as simple boutonnieres for my family) and I LOVED how beautiful and vibrant they turned out! Overall, Meeka and her team were wonderful and I'm glad I hired her!

I can’t say enough about how amazing Meeka was in helping bring my dream wedding to life. About 2 months prior to my wedding, I was in search of a day-of coordinator because I planned and DIY’d a lot of my decor for my special day but just really wanted support with flow of day, set up/take down, and have a one stop shop for questions so myself, my family, and my wedding party could enjoy the day. I found Meeka on Thumbtack and she responded within an hour with her availability. From there she was accessible for any questions or ideas I had and assured me to not stress and “Leave it to Meeka.” She helped create a timeline that she shared with the rest of my vendors and made herself the main point of contact. Come day of, Meeka and her assistant Amanda arrived on time and were able to handle all of my decor set up and vendor coordination. The ceremony and reception was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have done it without them! It was bittersweet at the end of everything because we spent so much time talking and bringing my special day to life, it was sad to say goodbye! Thank you so much to Meeka and Amanda for such a wonderful wedding day and if I have any other event planning needs, I definitely know who to reach out to!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our fees vary and are totally dependent upon the clients' needs. All of our proposals are tailored to each client and event because they all have different needs. The base amount for our services start at $1900.00. We also have quite a few items available for rent if hired for our decorating services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A complimentary telephone consultation is scheduled. During our call, I take notes and ask questions regarding the pertinent details of the event. I then send over a Proposal that will list what services are included as they relate to the event discussed, along with a price and a retainer fee. The client approves the proposal, pays the retainer, and then I forward my Service Agreement electronically for the client to sign. After these steps, planning for the event starts!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have trained with some of the top designers in the industry including Mr. Preston Bailey, globally recognized for his ability to transform spaces, and others in the world of floral design including, Atosha Barboza Bennett of Larger Than Life Events and Sarah Campbell of Intrigue Designs. I am also an accredited event designer/planner through The Institute of Wedding and Event Design and Behind the Veil Academy.
