About Meg Critchell Events
Meg Critchell Events is a boutique event planning firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut. Meg founded the company in 2003 after managing special events at the Morgan Library in New York City. That institutional background — coordinating events at a major NYC cultural institution — set the foundation for the level of organization and production quality the firm brings to private events.
The company has been operating for over two decades, which makes it one of the more established planning firms in the tri-state area. Meg works on weddings, milestone birthday celebrations, anniversaries, and other private events. Her portfolio includes work across a range of locations — from mountaintop weddings in Colorado to celebrations in the Turks and Caicos to events in Manhattan. That geographic range means she’s comfortable with destination logistics.
Meg has been featured in Cottages & Gardens and her work has appeared in publications like Over The Moon. Her portfolio includes events at Blue Hill at Stone Barns and other high-profile venues in the region.
While based in Greenwich, Meg’s service area extends into NYC, the Hudson Valley, Westchester, and beyond. For couples planning a wedding at a Hudson Valley wedding venue, her proximity to the region and her decades of vendor relationships make the coordination process efficient.
The boutique model means you’re working with Meg directly, not a junior planner at a large firm. Twenty-plus years of experience means she’s encountered most of the problems that can arise on a wedding day and knows how to handle them before they affect the couple. For couples who want a seasoned planner with institutional-level organizational skills, Meg Critchell Events delivers that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Meg Critchell Events only work in Connecticut?
No. While based in Greenwich, CT, Meg works throughout NYC, the Hudson Valley, Westchester, and takes on destination weddings nationally and internationally. Her service area is broad.
How long has Meg Critchell been planning weddings?
Since 2003 — over two decades. Before starting her firm, she managed special events at the Morgan Library in New York City, so her total event management experience extends even further.
What is the difference between a wedding planner and a day-of coordinator?
A full planner helps with everything from venue selection and vendor hiring to design and budget management, starting months before the wedding. A day-of coordinator takes over the timeline and logistics for the actual wedding day and usually comes on 4-6 weeks before to review details. Partial planning falls in between.
How far in advance should I hire a wedding planner?
For full planning, hire 12-18 months before the wedding. For partial planning, 9-12 months. For day-of coordination, 4-6 months minimum, though earlier is better since popular coordinators book out.
