Stress Free Wedding

Megan Drake and her staff ensured that we had the most epic wedding day. From the very first day speaking with her my husband and I knew that she was the perfect fit for our destination mountain wedding at Overlook Barn. She helped us make decisions and provided us with a list of vendors and ensured that we never had to stress or worry about anything. She was very prompt with answering all my questions and concerns and helped to put me at ease during the entire process. During the wedding day Megan and her staff helped us have an easy and relaxing wedding that exceeded all our expectations. We did not have to worry about any details. We ended up having a small snow storm... and Megan and her team handled the change of plans impeccably. I would highly recommend Megan Drake for your next event, you will not be dissapointed.

Top Notch, Professional Planner

We hired Megan Drake and team from Elegant Events to assist with my daughters wedding on 8/26/2023 at Overlook Barn on top of Beech Mountain. Megan provided above and beyond every single thing promised and contracted for, and then some. Mountain top logistics can be a challenge and boy did they come through - experienced suggestions - detailed and thoughtful, professional execution. Wedding day was relaxing - seriously!! and beautiful - things ran like a top. Megan and team even bustled Cassie's dress for cocktail hour and reception (who knows where I was). Highest of recommendations for Elegant Events and Megan Drake. Almost (almost), wish I had another wedding to plan.

A True Source for Your Big Day

Megan and her team were able to execute our vision for our North Carolina Mountain wedding with seamless joy and intention. We were an out of town couple and Megan's vast experience helped make our wedding a reality. We leaned on and learned from her in many ways. Plus, our large wedding party and large family adored the opportunity to work with her. Our wedding was infinitely better because of her!

I have had the great pleasure of working with The Elegant Event. I can not say enough positive comments about this business. Megan is absolutely amazing and wonderfully professional. She keeps everyone in line so that everything goes smoothly, yet she is extremely conscious that it is your day and wants it to go just as you wish. She works out any problems or mishaps that come along so that you do not have to....all you have to do is enjoy your day. I have and will continue to pass her name along to all wedding clients. Having photographed hundreds of weddings myself, I can say without hesitation, having her makes everything go a lot smoother and makes for a happy bride and groom!
