Meet the Team

Megan (MJ) Sheckles, Owner/CEO

All Destination Locales including the Washington, DC Metro Area & the Kentucky Area
My name is Megan (MJ) Sheckles, and I am the proud owner of MJ Weddings and Events. My love and passion for planning and coordinating events started at a young age, being raised in a family that thoroughly enjoys hosting great events, no matter the occasion.
 
With more than 10 years of experience in event coordination and management, consulting, marketing, and customer service, our team has coordinated and designed every aspect of wedding-related events. We want to make your event, no matter what it is, the most spectacular and memorable for you and yours. We also understand that making smart choices is critical to keeping an event budget as affordable as possible. My team and I will work with you to bring the utmost care, attention to detail, and professionalism to your event, all at an affordable price.
 
We are also a certified international wedding and event travel planning company that spans from several regions in the US to around the globe. We are united by a common fascination with the diverse cultures & people that surround us. While acknowledging that event execution is at its core, our team finds benefit in bringing together the celebration of friends, family and love for momentous occasions creating lasting memories.
 

We are excited about planning your wedding in the Washington, D.C. Metro area, in Kentucky, or in a destination of your choice (in the U.S. or abroad). Let our passion for weddings and events take your vision and make it a reality!
