Reviews of The Whole Shebang (Event Planner)

Ondrea Nightingale

Let me start by saying that I am the most indecisive and whimsical person EVER. I change my mind 100 times about everything, and I'm pretty difficult to keep up with as I go off on a whim naturally. (oh...something shiny!) I knew I met my match when I met Meris. She is always ready for any and everything, and always stayed ahead of the game. She easily coordinated difficult family members and children in such a graceful and professional manner--her presence at my wedding seemed as if she were a long time friend of the family always ready to give a helping hand. I couldn't have gotten through this entire experience of wedding planning without her. She has more of an impact on the couples she helps get married than she could probably ever give herself credit for. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts for taking such good care of us on the best day of our lives! Side note--Anna (Meris' sidekick) had a huge impact on the success of our wedding. She deserves major props as well! You were amazing, Anna. Thank you!

Meris is amazing to work with, and I could have never done it without her. She made the whole wedding planning experience extremely stress free and enjoyable. She handled everything up until the day of with such professionalism and grace, and was so fun to work with. I live out of state, and she provided vendor suggestions and helped with every step of planning process. She let me be as involved with all the small details that I wanted to be, or stepped in and took control on anything I needed. She was always on her a-game and is extremely organized, involved, patient, positive and insightful. On our wedding weekend, she and her team were beyond impressive. They were on top of every single detail, and helped to make it the most special and perfect weekend for us. We were not stressed out in the least, and were able to enjoy every minute of our big day because of their help. I can truly say that our wedding day was the best day of my life, and I owe that all to Meris and The Whole Shebang!

Meris stuck by my side during two years of crazy wedding hiccups. I knew I would need her from day one, but the value of having her calm spirit around really started to sink in at my rehearsal. Between dealing with big personalities, cancellations, and super hot/stormy weather, I am 100% sure I would have cried for half my wedding day had Meris not been there with solutions at every turn. Vendors, family members, and guests have all complimented that everything looked perfect and was run so smoothly, most of them crediting Meris and Rachael by name. Rightfully so, as everything I pictured in my mind for my wedding day turned out perfectly. I would recommend Meris and TWS any day and have never been so happy with an investment! For any brides trying to determine if you should make room in your budget for a coordinator…do it. I promise your future spouse, friends, and family with thank you. And most importantly, your sanity and mental health will be saved. Thank you again Meris and Rachael!

I could not have been happier with Meris and her team! They made my wedding absolutely perfect. Meris went above and beyond during the whole planning process. I was planning my wedding from abroad and wouldn't have trusted anyone but Meris to be my eyes and ears in North Carolina. She was responsive, creative, and an absolute blast! Need someone to get you in shape before your wedding? Meris will join you on your pre wedding workouts and runs! She's the real deal folks. Meris does a great job of reading her brides and catering to their personal style and personality. She is extremely patient and supportive. Even when I was stressing the day of she always knew when I needed a minute to myself. I will be having her plan every single event I ever have. One of the saddest parts of the wedding being over is no longer having an excuse to constantly hang out with Meris. Thanks for the best wedding I could have asked for!

Meris, Kelsey and Andrea are outstanding! Their attention to detail shows in every wedding and event they coordinate. I have had the pleasure of working several events with them, and they are always on top of their game. This team is talented, fun to work with, dedicated and professional. They bring years of experience to each wedding they coordinate and make details seamless. I highly recommend letting them plan and coordinate your event or wedding!
