Megan is a senior associate at Midwestern Bride team. She planned prom and other school sponsored events in high school as the student body president and fell in love with event planning. After Megan planned her own wedding last year, her passion for event planning was reignited!

With a knack for organization and detail, Megan thrives in ever changing environments like weddings. She enjoys planning weddings as unique as her couples and helping to make their wedding day relaxing and enjoyable with memories that last a lifetime.

She and her husband live in Madison, WI with their 2 rescued huskies. Outside of weddings, Megan is finishing up a Masters degree in Entomology (yes, bugs!) at UW-Madison. In her free time, you can find her cuddling with her pups, baking, gardening, crafting, or playing board games with her husband.

Loves: trashy reality TV, all furry animals, IPAs, and great food

Fears: a messy house, grumpy people, and clowns

Lauren joined the Midwestern Bride team in Summer 2021, but has been in and out of the catering and event planning industries since 2008. From balancing trays of nine plated meals, to slinging tables and linens, to being a venue coordinator, Lauren has done it all. Lauren thrives in fast-paced environments like weddings and no detail is too small for her to catch. She enjoys getting to know each couples’ style and building trust so that couples can relax and enjoy their wedding day.

Lauren attended UW-Madison, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and when she is not planning, she enjoys working in higher education on the UW-Madison campus.

In her free time, you can find her walking her dog, streaming the latest hit show, or doing Pilates – it’s all about balance!

Loves: pickles, cute dog videos, and a clean house

Fears: heights, finding out your significant other ate the last [insert food] in the house

I’m a UW-Milwaukee grad with a BA in Journalism & Media Studies and a lifelong Wisconsinite. I love intentional design and thoughtful details, I often find myself futzing with things to make sure they’re just right. I want to be my brides’ “bestie” for the day, I want them to feel unconditionally supported and comfortable with me. When I’m not working I enjoy hiking, kayaking, thrifting (so much of my decor at home is antique or secondhand) and I am an avid concertgoer. I can make a playlist for any mood. I used to photograph concerts for my own blog.

Fears: forgetting deadlines, bees, Uber drivers who want to talk to me the entire ride, not being able to DJ at a party, tight spaces

Likes: highland cows, Disney world, hanging at the airport bar before my flight leaves, Brand new notebooks, diy home improvement

Kanoe is a new addition to Midwestern Bride. She was a bride client several years ago and had such a great experience with MB that she wanted to become part of the team herself.

Kanoe has 10 years of experience producing a variety of events, ranging from nonprofit fundraisers to seminars and conferences, but weddings are her passion and she is excited for them to be her focus. With a knack for organization and detail, Kanoe is quick on her feet, creative, and loves a challenge.

She and her husband live in Waukesha, WI with their little girl and their (extremely sassy) English bulldog. She has her BA in PR and Marketing, and her MA in Communication Studies from Marquette University.

Fears: Spiders. Spiders anywhere.

Loves: Family, bad horror movies on Netflix, and pizza.

Elizabeth hit the ground running with Midwestern Bride in the Spring of 2022 and hasn't looked back since! Her attentiveness, calm demeanor, and willingness to tackle any task makes her an excellent planner. She knows that the small details make all the difference and looks forward to getting to know each couple and all the special details that make their wedding unique.

Elizabeth graduated from the University of Minnesota, earning a degree in Marketing and Supply Chain Management. When she's not planning weddings you can find her curled up with a good book, tending to her many houseplants, or working on her next interior design project.

Loves: red wine, spin classes, trying new restaurants, charcuterie boards

Fears: clutter, laundry, centipedes

Natalie s new to the Midwestern Bride team, but brings a wealth of knowledge. As a prior MB bride herself she worked alongside Ashley to bring her vision to life. She has a passion for design and is a sucker for the little details.

Koryn is brand new to the MB team but not to weddings. As a photographer herself she has an eye for the details and an intimate knowledge of weddings inside and out.

Fears: horror movies, spiders, a dirty house

She is always on top of new and upcoming trends in the industry and is always dedicated to ensure that the couple is happy throughout each step of the process.
