The Parlour

The Parlour is fabulous and even more importantly, Megan is FABULOUS. She’s a one stop shop.
Working with vendors is hard. Remembering what vendors you need, sometimes can be even harder! Megan makes that so much easier. A true professional who knows what you’re looking for and how to get that dream event executed.
Even the smallest events can be daunting and to have someone in your corner is extremely helpful. I would recommend anyone to have Megan in your corner. She’s smart, witty, talented and genuinely passionate about the events industry. I would say that’s the best combination that you can have.
I’ve worked with Megan on wine events and wedding. Her vision is always spot on and has a fun-​loving easy about her. If you are looking for an event… She’s your gal

I hate to write such a negative review on the Parlour’s event planning services, but after months of contacting Megan to try and problem solve with no success, I feel like I need to communicate my experience.
My husband and I met with Megan, thought she was lovely, and signed up for her partial planning service. After we signed the contract and sent her a check for the retainer, our communication with Megan ceased. A large reason that we had hired Megan was for her advice on vendors and the checklist that she promised would help keep us organized. We contacted Megan several times over email, text, and voicemails without hearing back. We were less than 8 months out from our wedding date and (to our surprise) many of the vendors we were contacting were booking up. Instead of helping us with vendor recommendations, or any of the tasks outlined by her contract, Megan became just another vendor to stress over.
We finally were able to get through to Megan after emailing, texting and calling her office for months. She blamed her lack of communication on the fact that her assistant had the wrong email addresses for us. We thought this was a flimsy excuse because we 1) didn’t know she had an assistant and 2) she didn’t have problems with my email when we were discussing payment and 3) we had contacted her multiple times on other channels.
Needless to say, we lost complete confidence in the Parlour’s ability to help us plan our wedding. We had already finished many of the items we had hoped to accomplish with a planner, and we didn’t feel confident that the Parlour would be successful at organizing our vendors if they were not even able to communicate with us successfully.
Because the Parlour did not accomplish any of the tasks listed on the contract, we thought that Megan would agree to return our retainer. After more back-​and-​forth she did reluctantly agree to return a portion of our retainer but only ever succeeded in making excuses and putting off the returned payment. A year and multiple reminder emails later and we have still not received Megan’s check.
We hired another planner that we were very happy with. Even though we basically flushed the $ 1,000 that we paid the Parlour, I feel very good about my decision to go with a different planner that we could depend on to make our lives easier during the planning process. Every interaction we had with Megan after we paying the retainer has led us to believe that she is not dependable, prompt, professional, or true to her word. My advice – save yourself some unnecessary stress/​money and look elsewhere for your wedding planner.

My daughter just had her wedding in Sebastopol about a week and a half ago. We are still floating on cloud 9. Megan at The Parlour was perfect. Professional, warm and an incredibly hard worker! My daughter has very definite ideas about how she wanted everything to look… she is a very hands on type of person. It is often hard for her to give up any kind of control or to delegate. But Megan listened carefully and is never pushy. She is a problem solver and truly helped Hannah realize her vision. Every detail that Hannah had wanted was lovingly and carefully attended to. The whole event exceeded our expectations and it was magical. Megan is not only a top notch wedding planner but she offers an extra design service, that is extremely reasonable, and this allows you to use all of her wonderful props (bistro lights, votives, generators, mirrors, tables… the list goes on and on) in addition she will decorate for you using any of her props or necessary design elements that the client provides. This is a wonderful service because you do not have to reinvent the wheel and worry about details such as how to find enough outlets for the outdoor lights… Megan has generators for this. Thank you Megan for helping to create the most beautiful night of our lives!

Megan was amazing! Like all brides, I was super nervous about my wedding for a variety of different reasons but once I met and spoke with Megan I was totally put at ease. She was incredibly professional, totally on point and genuinely cared about what I wanted (which is sometimes rare in the planning process). When I walked into my reception I thought «whose wedding is this?»; everything was beyond perfect and beautiful. We had a few people not show and I didn’t even notice because Megan changed tables around so fast that there were no empty spaces. She was always early and worked insanely hard. I barely even saw her because she was constantly on her feet and ensuring that everything was going smoothly. I recommend her and the Parlour to everyone I can because I know that if they use Megan their event will be perfect. Seriously, if you are on the fence, do it! Having her there made it possible for me to sit back and enjoy my wedding day.

I LOVE the Parlour!!! Megan is amazing and very detail orientated! She listens to you and offers suggestions but is NEVER pushy with her ideas! I would recommend the Parlour to anyone who is planning a wedding, baby shower, wedding shower, birthday party or any event!
Also, what is not to love about going somewhere they have all the vendors you need to plan your event under one roof! The Parlour is a girls dream! Go check it out! even if you are not planning an event now go in and check out the gorgeous space!
Love Love LOVE!!! :)

Megan Clark made my wedding day better then I could have imagined!
While planning the big day she respond to emails quickly and gave me great ideas for décor, referred me to fantastic vendors and reassured me through out the stressful process. Having her on my team made the planning process relaxing and fun!
On the big day Megan was indispensable. She handled incidents that I only heard about after the ceremony. She’s like a wedding day NINJA! Taking care of music, microphones, guest issues… and without anyone asking! It was amazing and so appreciated.
Megan is professional, a great communicator and a fantastic planner. LOVE HER!

I had my bridal shower at the parlor and it was amazing! Megan has such an exquisite attention to detail and the whole day ran so soothly. The parlor is a beautiful location and I can’t wait to get ready before my wedding there :)
