Our Story
Light as a Feather began with a simple belief: the best weddings and events come from real relationships. Long before the first timeline is built or the first vendor is booked, we want to know you, your story, and what matters most to you. That belief has guided us since day one, and it still shapes every celebration we plan.
Meet Meredith
Our story starts with our founder, Meredith. Meredith was passionate about two things: weddings, and life itself. She built her career on genuine connection, believing that the relationships formed during planning are just as meaningful as the day itself.
What began with Meredith’s passion for creating meaningful, thoughtfully planned celebrations grew into two distinct companies, each bringing its own approach to exceptional wedding experiences: Light as a Feather and our sister company, Blue Fancy Events, Milwaukee’s tented wedding experts. Meredith’s work was featured in Vogue, Martha Stewart Weddings, Style Me Pretty, 100 Layer Cake, and Wisconsin Bride, but she always said the real reward was the trust couples placed in her team.
“My greatest priority has always been to reflect each couple’s love story in the details of their day. Every couple is unique, and every celebration should be, too.” – Meredith
A trusted name in Milwaukee
With 12 years of planning behind us, Light as a Feather is one of the longest-running wedding and event planning companies in the Milwaukee area. We’re also proud to be one of the highest rated, and a winner of The Knot Best of Weddings. We don’t take that for granted. Every review represents a couple or client who trusted us with one of the most important days of their lives.
The team behind the details
Today, our team of planners carries Meredith’s heart for this work into every celebration. We’re passionate, organized, sincere, and real, and we care as much about the people we work with as the events we create. Our goal is simple: to take care of every detail so you can fully let go, enjoy the process, and be present for the moments that matter most. It’s exactly what Meredith would have wanted.
