ABOUT ME
Creating personal,
purposeful & intentional events
Hi there! I'm so glad you are here. If you are soon-to-be or newly engaged and looking for someone to take your jumbled, not-yet-cohesive wedding vision and create an event that perfectly represents you and your partner, you came to the right place. My name is Mackenzie, and I am here to help authentic couples plan and host a thoughtful and unique wedding through personal and intentional details, carefully curated vendors and purposeful planning and design.
We might be a good fit if you relate to any of these...
-
You want your wedding to be unique and tailored to you and your fiancé's relationship
-
Intentional and personalized details and design are important to you
-
You consider yourself creative or an "out-of-the-box" thinker
-
You care about the overall experience of your guests and want to be able to enjoy the day with them
-
You love to have fun and want your wedding planning process to actually be enjoyable
If you found yourself agreeing with any of these statements, chances are that you and I could be a perfect match! Sooo...what are you waiting for? Let's get this thing going :)

MY MISSION
WITH STOKED WEDDINGS
Your wedding day will forever be one of the most important days of your life. There tends to be so much pressure on a couple getting married to have the perfect day, when in reality, the perfect day is different for everyone. Although true perfection isn't possible, my goal is to make both the planning and your big day easy, exciting and "perfect" to the two of you. If something goes wrong (which trust me, there's always something), I want to ensure that neither of you ever even notice. My only want is that you both get to be present and completely engaged in what really matters: your love and futures together.
After planning my own wedding, I realized something so important that I wish I had been told before. If the two of you don't focus on why you're having a wedding, it can feel you are just throwing a big party for all of your guests to enjoy. I want to be the reminder to each of you that marriage and the lifelong bond that follows is the true reason. Your life together is forever, and your wedding is the official beginning to that. I will be the one to remind you both about how wonderful love is and help your beautiful and unique relationship shine through on your wedding day. Your wedding is truly a celebration of the love you both share for each other. Let me help you start your forever and make your "perfect" day happen.
