Every wedding we plan is an honor and privilege - But when you’re the planner for your little cousin’s wedding, it takes on a whole new meaning. 💕

I’ve literally watched Katie Rose grow up—from holding her as a newborn to celebrating all the joys and griefs of life: choir concerts, first boyfriends, breakups, graduations, the birth of my own children, the passing of grandparents, holidays, and now her own wedding.

During the rush of the day, I had to pause and take in the fact that THIS bride was my little Katie Rose Bud.

We got to bring so many special family memories into the planning, and the day was absolutely perfect. A huge shout-out to the amazing vendors who made this day unforgettable:

🌿 – a venue that simply can’t be beat! I absolutely love working here and encourage you to book this spot!
🌸 – for always understanding the vision of my clients’ and executing it flawlessly.
📸 – who captured every precious moment and for not just being a fellow vendor but for being a friend.
🎶 And when your band leader has been a family friend for over 30 years, there’s just something extra special about having them start and keep the party going!

Joey, we love having you as part of our family! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Long!

Nothing like months of planning a wedding to see the culmination of smiles and joy radiating from their faces. What a joy to celebrate Mia and Brian!
It may have taken 15 months, but having say the words “Meg, I trust you!” was the icing on the cake!

Feeling honored that featured my first ever styled shoot. I, once again, thank Ashley Giffin, who trusted me with this project (her brain child) and all the other vendors who came together to create something so special.

We think F. Scott Fitzgerald himself would fall in love with this art deco inspired wedding styled shoot from Ashley Giffin Photography.

Started the 2024 Season off with one of the sweetest couples I have ever met.

Maeve and Robert’s wedding was a beautiful fusion of love, culture, and profession, perfectly reflecting the vibrant personalities of this delightful couple. As doctors, they undoubtedly brought a caring and attentive touch to every detail of their special day, ensuring it was not just a celebration of their love but also a testament to their commitment to each other and their shared values.

Maeve’s Irish heritage added an enchanting layer of tradition and charm to the festivities, infusing the day with rich symbolism and heartfelt customs.

During the ceremony, Maeve and Robert exchanged the Irish Wedding Coin, a tradition where the groom presents a coin to his bride representing that from that point forward, everything he owns would be equally shared. Maeve offered her own coin to Robert, (a modern interpretation) symbolizing the significance of her own worth and value that she brings to their partnership.

The reception was a lively affair, filled with laughter, music, and dancing. Guests indulged in traditional mulled wine and of course, fine whiskey! The dance floor was never empty as Maeve and Robert danced to the sounds of Irish music and contemporary hits, surrounded by their loved ones who shared in their joy.

Throughout the day, it was evident that Maeve and Robert’s love was not only palpable but infectious, spreading joy and warmth to all who had the pleasure of celebrating with them. As the night drew to a close, the couple bid farewell to their guests under a shower of sparklers, embarking on their journey together with hearts full of love and memories to last a lifetime.

Congratulations, dear friends!

Mehrgol and Jasper’s Aroosi (wedding) was a celebration of two heritages. We were able to beautifully weave together traditional Persian/Iranian wedding customs (like the Sofreh Aghd) with some Black/African American cultural elements (jumping the broom).

Mehrgol and Jasper are two of the most intentional humans I’ve ever met - using their special day to celebrate the richness of their cultures!

I was honored that they entrusted me to plan their special day and will forever be thankful for the experience to witness their love for each other and their families.

Most of the YGM feed features amazing couples and vendors that I have the privilege of highlighting, but this one is going to be a little different.

Launching a small business is hard. Managing the day to day of your own small business is packed full of highs, lows, doubts, stresses, loneliness, worry, hustle, and sometimes a celebration here and there.

But sometimes you have a day when people blow you away, and see potential in you that you don’t always see in yourself. Fear and doubt are such powerful forces that hold you back… but saying yes can unlock opportunity you didn’t think was possible.

After years of being a Table Magazine subscriber, I got a email one day from the Editor in Chief: “Meg, love the work you are doing, would love to hear some ideas you might have for Table magazine. Let’s talk”

“Whaaaaaaaaaaatttt?!?!?!? Me??!!! No way!!!!”

So I pulled myself together (and asked my husband if he thought this was a scam 😂), and took that scary step forward and took a phone call with

So…. be on the lookout in ‘24… YGM stepped beyond weddings, and will be a featured Collaborator for - I pitched a multi-edition series and then was entrusted to plan & coordinate the photo shoots. So, make sure to renew (or start a new subscription) so you can see a series of shoots highlighting food, friendships, family gatherings, seasonal celebrations, and community.

Know what’s even better? Having the chance to pay it forward, and support other independent, woman-owned small business - providing opportunities for friends to highlight their skills, expand their reach, and share the passion of their craft.



Community over competition. We’re stronger when we support and encourage.

Yinz Getting Married

Hi! I’m Meg Van D**e and I’m a wedding planner in the great City of Champyinz! Besides being an avid sports fan, I’m a mommy to two precious girls (Julianna and Madelyn) and a wife, very much in love, with my husband of 11 years, Josh. I love spending time in my garden and then quickly heading into my kitchen where I use what I’ve grown to cook meals for my family, friends, co-workers and neighbors! I love looking through cookbooks and then getting creative with those recipes and taking them a step further. (If you hire me, I may just cook for you)! Singing, watching sports, trying new restaurants, exploring the city with my children, traveling and enjoying a glass (or two) of wine on my patio are things that bring me great joy!

After working as the wedding coordinator for my church for 8 years, I decided to launch my own wedding planning business - Yinz Getting Married. It’s the perfect balance of my desire to be a stay-at-home mom and to be a working, creative artist. Yes, an artist! I went to school for musical theater. Growing up on the stage, memorizing lines, putting on a character, and the lights always on me, has helped prepare me to be your wedding planner. I’m great under pressure, I feed off adrenaline, I love details, I love choreography, I’m quick and I can act. I think you can see how all those things make me great at what I do.

But to be clear, this is not a show that when the lights go down and the costumes come off, I walk away and forget the story. No my friends. The reason I love this job is because I love marriage. I respect it. I sacrifice for it. And I believe strongly, that part of my job in helping you plan the perfect day, is helping you prepare to have an even more perfect marriage. I tell my couples ALL THE SAME THING… I want to help give you the day you’ve always dreamt of but I really want to help you keep perspective. The flowers are important. The photography is really important. The venue and the food and the centerpieces, yes of course, those matter! But after that day (which will fly by) it’s you and your spouse and the vows you made to each other that will ultimately matter the most.

So please, now that you’ve made this promise to each other, let me handle the details. Let me worry about the stress so you don’t have to. And for heaven’s sake, let’s have fun! Let’s celebrate the union that you’re about to enter into. I promise you, it’s the greatest thing in the world. Even better then back to back Stanley Cups, 6 Lombardi Trophies and your name on a shiny marquee!
