Molly McKinley Designs Planner | About

My career in wedding planning began 13 years ago!  In the beginning of finding this passion, I worked with a friend who shared separate strengths than me. It was great figuring out the big world of weddings alongside a partner. Eventually, our visions became separate, and Molly McKinley Designs was formed in 2013. I felt a call towards creating a boutique full-service planning company where I would work closely and personally with each client and focus primarily on clients who appreciate design. My first wedding as the lead planner was a March wedding at Reid Barn in Cumming, GA. I got paid $500 and that bride (who owns her own law firm now) still refers me to this day. I also still use that same cake vendor for every Atlanta wedding! When I think about what inspired me to start (and stay in) this business, it’s relationships. Relationships are the heart of life and business!
