We are so happy with our experience working with Crain and Co for our mixed South Asian Muslim/Persian wedding in September 2021. We are not originally from Tucson and we had hired Crain and Co to assist with the “month of” and “day of” coordination. Afterward, my husband and I both agreed that our biggest regret for our wedding was not hiring Crain and Co. for the full wedding planning process. We began planning our original wedding before the pandemic and decided to postpone it by almost a year. Both my husband and I have social service/healthcare jobs that directly deal with COVID, and we didn’t have the bandwidth to continue wedding planning after we postponed. By the time our new wedding date came up, we struggled to get back in the groove of wedding planning. Megan was amazingly gracious and patient in helping us iron out the last-minute details in the weeks leading up to the wedding. For the day of our wedding, Victoria Rex was our lead coordinator on site. Victoria and her assistant were incredible and extremely kind! Our families are large and hard to wrangle, but they did a great job of helping our day stick to a timeline. Long story short, tl;dr -- Seriously, do yourself a favor and hire Crain and Co! It was the best decision we made when planning our wedding as out-of-towners.

Meagan and her team are the absolute best people you want on your team for your wedding day. I originally hired her for wedding day management, but when we postponed, I upgraded to full service and I have zero regrets about doing that. I now tell all of my friends who are getting married to do what they need to do to be able to hire a wedding planner. Even if you're Type A and plan events all the time, chances are that this is the only wedding you'll have. You want people who do this every weekend to guide you along.

I wasn't planning on it, but I had some drama. I started my wedding morning off with a phone call from my hair and makeup artist that the road to my venue was flooded and that the venue was sending a van to ferry them across. I texted Meagan, and SHE ALREADY KNEW. She had already communicated with the rest of my vendors and had it under control.

As if the rain and flooding weren't enough, I also had food poisoning that day. Meagan did a great job of making sure I had water and snacks and could take breaks when I needed to. When Tori took over during the actual event, she was amazing too. I had not even met her really, but she knew everything that was going on.

My wedding went seamlessly, and my guests commented on what a well-executed wedding it was. Every vendor recommendation was amazing and it felt like Meagan knew every wedding professional in town. She was so organized and on top of it. Communication was great, I probably sent a billion emails and she kept track of everything. She had great suggestions and I'm so glad I had her on my team!

Being a bride can be stressful, being a 2020 is another level. I don't think I would have been able to manage so much without Meagan and her amazing team. They were there from the start helping us to plan a wedding from across the country and connecting with incredible vendors. Singlehanded the best thing we did for our wedding was planning with Crain & Co. Thank you again for making our wedding everything we wanted!
