Awesome to work with

Molly McKinley Designs helped make our wedding weekend absolutely perfect. They handled our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and thought of and planned every detail imagineable. They helped guide us through the planning process, connected us with awesome vendors, and treated our wedding weekend like it was their own. Not only were they professional and helpful every step of the way, but they were also genuinely fun to be around and quickly became our friends. Thanks to them, we were able to enjoy the entire weekend and not feel overwhelmed, and are able to look back on a perfect wedding weekend.

LOVED working with Molly McKinley Designs!

Molly McKinley Designs made all our dreams come true about our wedding day. Not only was it beautiful and exactly what we imagined from a design point of view, but the organization and professionalism of the team was so appreciated. Everything ran so smoothly - even wedding guests noticed how everything just flowed perfectly. They also handled our rehearsal dinner, which was executed flawlessly! I would recommend Molly McKinley Designs team to any couple who wants to enjoy their engagement and let a team of professionals handle all the many small details and put on the perfect wedding weekend!

Molly McKinley Designs

When deciding upon a planner I was in search for planning guidance but also design. Our venue was a historical house where everything had to be outsourced. I could not have found a better match when contacting Molly - her vision and presentation is beyond what we could have ever imagined. Becca was our planner and the planning process and our wedding day could not have gone any more smoothly than it did. She was meticulous in every aspect of the day, thinking of the smallest details that have flown over my head, and had everything/everyone prepared. Molly and Becca took all of our ideas (no matter how crazy) and brought them to life for the perfect day. We did not stress one minute with them at our sides during rehearsal or our wedding day. Our guests were beyond impressed with their hard work ethic and professionalism. Not only are they extremely talented but they are two of the kindest people and honestly a pleasure to work with. We are so thankful our path crossed with theirs and I don't know what we would have done without them! It's a great thing to be able to call them friends and still have their utmost support!

I couldn't have asked for a better wedding designer/planner/organizer/friend. Molly and her team were so incredible to work with. Molly totally understood my style and knew exactly what I wanted. I don't know how I would have ever had the most amazing day without her. She's so down to earth, and makes everyone feel at peace, EVERYONE was impressed by her. She's perfect! You look good having her on your team!!

Molly is the absolute best. If you want someone fun and efficient, she as the way to go! My husband and I worried about nothing the whole time and had a blast! I would highly recommend not only getting a coordinator, but getting Molly specifically. She's fantastic and super fun! Would recommend to anyone! :)

I could NOT have done my wedding without Elisabeth, Molly and their amazing team! My wedding was 4/29/17 and it was absolutely perfect!!! They literally helped make my fairy tale come true. Elisabeth understood my point of view and helped me achieve my goals. She also talked me off the ledge when I would have nervous breakdowns from stress and was my "person" I could turn to throughout the whole process. Elisabeth and Molly took care of all the behind the scene mishaps and issues and I did not know about anything... it was literally amazing to be able to enjoy this day I worked so hard for and know they would handle every situation in a professional manner. Molly's smile is so infectious and seriously made me so calm the day of my wedding. My mom had some issues behind the scenes after all was said and done and they were gracious enough to help her through it even after the wedding. I can not say enough about how truly professional and caring this team is. They really see your vision and make it come to life. They are so quick to respond and and help answer your questions and I 100% could NOT have done it without them. Thank you all so so so much!!!!

Molly kept us very organized and we were very pleased with the direction she lead us in. A wedding can be overwhelming and you want the best vendors to help you through this process. Molly's picks for us were perfect. We can't thank her enough for her help in making this May wedding become a reality and the wedding of our dreams.

Molly was awesome to work with! She understood what theme/style of wedding I was going for from our first conversation and was able to help guide me throughout the whole process. I appreciated her honest opinion and feedback when choosing between different vendors or the right linen for the tables. She has great taste and is definitely very experienced in coordinating and organizing. When it came down to the last few weeks before the wedding, it was great having her map out everything with me and filling in all sorts of gaps that I wouldn't have realized were there until the day of. Thanks much!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Molly McKinley gave me the shot in the arm to ramp up my wedding venue business, and then the booster when she skillfully coordinated a wedding here. Her touches were the reason our bride smiled though a gentle rain shower. The chevron table runner caught my eye as though it pulled every other element of the reception together. Molly chose the perfect color combination to make all our bride's terrific choices pop over the top. Molly's smile and laugh are contagious. We look forward to Molly Mckinley Designs being here again this fall. I can't wait until one of our bride's turns her entire wedding over to this amazingly talented lady.
