Hi, I’m Megan! My husband, Clay, and I tied the knot in 2011 in the charming town of Castroville, Texas. Since then, we’ve been blessed with three beautiful children, and call San Antonio home.
I’ve always been passionate about weddings. There’s something truly magical about watching two people who are deeply in love share that moment with their closest family and friends. It’s a feeling that never gets old.
I’m known for being detail-oriented, organized, and keep a schedule, yet flexible when it comes to my clients' needs and vision. Whether it’s solving last-minute problems or de-escalating stressful situations, I’m here to ensure the day goes smoothly. My true passion lies in helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life — from the smallest details to the big picture — and making sure everything unfolds perfectly on their special day.
