About Meg

Owner, Planner, Designer.

Being an event planner requires a certain combination of creativity, organization, foresight, communication skills and more creativity. But from the first party Meg planned it was evident that she had found the perfect way to maximize her skill sets and still enjoy the heck out of her job.

“The hardest thing I do is take a day off,” she says. “I always have my hands in something – a wedding, an art sale, a beer fest, some sort of writing or graphic design, photography… the list goes on. And if I’m not doing any of that, I’m teaching someone to ski!”

Meg grew up in a bed and breakfast in the ski-centric Mad River Valley and was immersed in the world of hostessing from an early age. Her love of art and habit of constantly rearranging and redecorating her room were tell tale signs that Meg was destine for a creative career, and her comfort with scary things like math and science opened the door to her analytical prowess. But it was her social nature that finally tipped the scales enough for Meg to quit her “real” job and become an event planner.

“At one point, I was stuffing a pinata for one my own parties it occurred to me that people did this kind of thing for a living.” And so it began.

Today Meg is involved in dozens of projects in Vermont, New York, Oregon and Montana including weddings, fundraisers, festivals and her brainchild and personal favorite: SIPtemberfest. She writes about her assorted events and adventures here, but also maintains multiple blogs including the popular Stark’s Pub blog for Mad River Glen. And when she’s not doing any of that, you will probably find her on the slopes of MRG, teaching someone to ski.
