McKenna is amazing!

McKenna was the perfect month-of coordinator for our Disneyland wedding. She is kind, confident, warm, poised, and ready for anything that may come up! We loved working with her and her team-- they were amazing at liaising with our vendors, keeping things running smoothly day of, and being a much needed support on our joyous but potentially stressful wedding day. Hire her! She's the best!!

I hugged McKenna so many times on my wedding day haha

McKenna is an INCREDIBLE wedding planner. You know those people who are just impressively good at what they do? That's McKenna! Looking back on the whole process, I can confidently say the wedding planner was one of (if not THE) most important hires. You can't go wrong with McKenna! First of all she's just a sweet, kind and lovely person to work with throughout your engagement-- her energy and enthusiasm is infectious, and she's very well connected and experienced with various vendors. Her communication is clear and patient, which helps make this overwhelming experience fun and simple-- which it SHOULD be! Once the big day finally arrived, she was an absolute force as our day-of coordinator! We felt seen, cared for and confidently guided and instructed. Our wedding day ran seamlessly and beautifully. Even our entire bridal parties were impressed by her and only had wonderful things to say. Overall, we had just the most amazing time and we are thrilled to have had the experience of working with her. She and her team are A+ professionals. We couldn't have asked for better!

Hello there, I'm McKenna!

I started Events by McKenna in 2021 after nearly ten years of working in the hospitality and event field.

After working with so many brides, as well as being a bride myself last year, I have put together my packages and planning systems to take as much stress out of the wedding planning process as possible. My goal is for all Events by McKenna brides to be relaxed and have the perfect wedding of their dreams.

In my free time I am studying for my sommelier certification, playing with my golden retriever, and spending time with my husband.
