Hi there! My name is Megan Timmerman - Lover of love, professional coffee enthusiast, yogi, maker of lists, your biggest cheerleader! While all of these things are true, I'm fortunate enough to say that I've been able to create a living out of all of these favorite things of mine! Let me break it down for you...
In June of 2020, my business partner, Anne, and I decided to launch With Love Event Planning. An event planning company specializing in Weddings along the MN/WI border (though we travel wherever you want to take us!). We offer packages setup/teardown to wedding day coordination to full-service wedding planning. Now would also be a good time to plug our Referral Program! If you refer a couple to us and they book, you'll receive a $100 Amazon Gift Card from us! Just be sure the couple mentions your name upon booking.Rewind the timeline back to September of 2015 - the beginning of my barista journey! Right out of high school I landed a job at a local bagel and coffee shop, sparking my love for creating coffee for my community. A year later, I found myself working at the coffee shop in my own hometown where I grew up. This shop has seen 3 owners and 3 names, but the one consistent - me! (lol) As many times as I "quit," or "stepped back." This little shop always had me crawling back, I just couldn't get enough of our customers and coffee. Fast forward now, November 2023, I began my career at Ember + Bean Roasting Co. in Hudson, WI as a Barista Guide. This is where my coffee career has truly taken off. Since joining the E+B team I've learned more than I ever could have imagined! In March I was sent to St. Louis where I went through a 7-day, intensive coffee training - it was the week of my dreams! I am now an SCA Professional in Brewing, Sensory Skills, and Barista Skills. Since then, I attended my first Coffee Expo in Chicago. I'm excited to continue growing with this company, never giving up on my coffee journey.Beyond these 2 things, I fill my time teaching yoga at a couple studios and gym, coach my local high school cheerleading squad, and nanny a few awesome kiddos! My calendar is packed, but my heart is full! Outside of the things that support me, you can find me exploring the outdoors, binge watching Grey's Anatomy, or hitting the gym (and yes, I complain the whole time).If you're looking for ways to support small business, here are my asks:
- Know any couples ready to tie the knot? Send them my way!
- Looking to host a business event? Reach out!
- Know of a business looking for a great coffee to serve or sell? Ember + Bean would love to chat! (we also do private labeling!)
- Join a yoga class!
- Looking for some entertainment or volunteers for an upcoming event? The BW Cheerleaders would love to help out!
