Thoughtful wedding planning for couples who value experience and intention
Planning a wedding doesn't start with a venue or a Pinterest board - it starts with a plan. I help couples figure out what to do first, what actually matters, and how to make decisions that feel right for their vision, their event, and their budget.
I strive to make each moment for your wedding and the entire planning process stress-free, so you can be fully present to enjoy every moment.

Hiring a planner isn't an upgrade - it's the foundation
Wedding planning is a series of interconnected decisions, and the order in which those decisions are made matters. When couples start without professional guidance, they often commit to vendors or ideas before fully understanding their budget, priorities, or logistics of their event. That's where stress, regret, and unnecessary compromises show up later.
As a professional wedding planner, I provide structure from the beginning - helping you understand what needs to happen first, what can wait, and how each choice affects the entire plan.
My role is to guide you through the process in a way that protects your time, your budget, your vision, and your overall experience, while keeping your wedding personal and realistic. Planning doesn't have to feel rushed or chaotic. With the right support early on, it can feel clear, manageable, and even enjoyable.

Hi, I am Meghan Goforth, owner and lead planner of Goforth Event Planning.
I am originally from Syracuse, NY but currently reside in the Binghamton area with my husband and son. I am a mom to a very active and energetic four-year-old, who keeps me on my toes. I love to travel and when I am not busy planning weddings, you can find me gathering ideas for our next family adventure. I studied at SUNY Fredonia and SUNY Cortland where I earned my degrees in Spanish and Education. I taught middle school and high school Spanish for several years before forming my company in 2019. Since then, I have been planning weddings and events throughout Upstate NY, the Southern Tier, and beyond. |
