I specialize in developing & managing teams & departments which require superior customer service & the ability to interact with hundreds of people in a short amount of time.
With over 2 decades of experience in large-scale event production, I naturally stay cool, calm, & collected in a variety of high-stress situations.
In other words:
I create order during the chaos.

What The Festival Production Team
“I had the great pleasure of working with Meghan at multiple art and music festivals, most often as a box office team member under her management. Being a part of a Meghan team means you are 1) entering a positive and welcoming environment, 2) well prepared for your role and responsibilities, and 3) will be reliably led through any uncertainty.
Meghan has brilliant organizational, logistic, and communication skills. In all my experiences, she proactively helped us identify areas for efficiency and worked with our team to refine our process on the spot. Her commitment to us had a clear impact on our capacity to provide a smooth check-in experience for all staff and attendees.
Additionally, at the end of each event, Meghan always made time for our team to reflect together and help us make progress for next time. Her ability to keep us connected off site is one of the things that makes working with Meghan special.
I would highly recommend Meghan to anyone looking for an event planner who combines operational expertise with genuine care for her team. Her approach fosters a collaborative atmosphere where everyone feels valued and supported, and I have no doubt that anyone would benefit from her guidance.”
