Meagan Crain

founder | designer

Meagan started in the events and hospitality industry as a catering sales manager for hotels and later became an event planner for non-profits. With a dream and some hustle, she launched Crain + Co Events full time in 2013 and, along with her team, has grown it into the leading event planning company in Southern Arizona. She now designs and plans weddings, non-profit and corporate events throughout Arizona and beyond.

INTERESTING FACTS: I travelled twice to China while in college to teach English and I have an irrational fear of monkeys.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING ON EVENTS YOU'LL FIND ME... having kitchen dance parties with my 3 kiddos, golfing with my husband, gardening (lol), attempting to cook or reading a good book.

WORDS TO LIVE BY:  We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. - Charles Swindoll

Victoria Rex

lead event manager

Over the last 6 years Victoria has become the backbone to Crain + Co Events. Her dedication to our clients and creative partners, incredibly strong work ethic and friendly, servant's heart makes her irreplaceable. She has a background in dental assisting and is currently pursuing UI/UX Design on the side.

At an event you'll find her calming the nerves of an anxious couple, finding solutions to impossible problems or organizing the wedding party. With Victoria, where there is a will there is a way and we're so grateful she's on our side!

FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANT: Boca, Alexandra's Pearl, Barro Pizza, 5 Points, Sushi Ten, Zona 78.

INTERESTING FACT(S): I've never been trick-or-treating and I've visited all 50 states!

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING ON EVENTS YOU'LL FIND ME... hanging out with my husband and working on home DIY projects. You'll also find me playing in a volleyball league, meeting up with family for weekly pancake breakfasts or jetting off to some new travel location.

WORDS TO LIVE BY: Jesus is Always Better.

Sara Dains

creative assistant | event manager

Sara started as an intern with Crain + Co about a year ago as she was finishing her degree in Hospitality Management from Northern Arizona University. Now that she's graduated she's officially an event coordinator and we couldn't be more grateful to have her!

Sara's eye for design and eagerness to grow has quickly made her an all time favorite. On a wedding day, you'll find her sewing a bustle or streaming a veil, styling a table or helping run logistics. She's also first to snap a good photo for IG stories.

 

FAVORITE LOCAL RESTAURANT: Bisbee Breakfast Club, Cafe Passe, The Hub, Nana’s Kitchen

COFFEE ORDER: Iced Hazelnut Latte

FAVORITE CAKE FLAVOR: Red Velvet

FAVORITE MOVIE / TV SERIES: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, One Tree Hill and Dateline.

INTERESTING FACT(S): I swam D1 in college, taught myself hand lettering and I hate fruit.

WHEN I'M NOT WORKING ON EVENTS YOU'LL FIND ME... playing with my dog, dancing at a country bar, laying by the pool sipping margaritas or spending time with family.

WORDS TO LIVE BY: "Wherever you are, be all there."

THE CRAIN & CO. BRIDE

  • Rain or shine the only thing that really matters on her wedding day is exchanging vows with the love of her life and nothing will distract from that joy.
  • Is detail oriented and organized, but is not high strung.
  • Has a vision, but trusts professionals to execute it.
  • Prioritizes details and design (the pretty stuff).
  • Wants a fun soirée where guests will enjoy good food and drink, amazing entertainment and at the end of the night everyone is going to leave with a full heart and tired feet!
  • She is gracious and kind to family, friends and all those she encounters.
