Your Passion, Our Purpose.
Hi, I’m Chelsea McBrien, founder and lead planner of Chelsea McBrien Weddings & Events. I help busy couples transform their vision into a beautifully organized and meaningful celebration without the stress of managing every detail themselves. My goal is to make planning feel clear, enjoyable, and exciting so you can focus on the moments that matter most.
What sets my approach apart is the personal experience I provide. I take the time to understand your priorities, style, and story, ensuring every recommendation and planning decision reflects what matters most to you. No two weddings are alike, and your planning experience shouldn't be either.
With a background in English, Education, and Communications, I bring a thoughtful blend of creativity, organization, and problem-solving to every event. From vendor coordination and logistics to design guidance and wedding day management, I work behind the scenes to create a seamless experience from start to finish.
When you work with me, you can expect clear communication, trusted guidance, and a planner who genuinely cares about your experience. It is an honor to walk alongside my couples during one of life's most meaningful seasons, helping them feel confident, supported, and cared for every step of the way.
When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me spending time with my husband and our three daughters, Molly, Everley, and Ellanore. I can't wait to hear your story and help bring your wedding vision to life.

Graham
As a proud resident of Baldwin County, I have found both personal and professional fulfillment in serving couples and families through the art of wedding and event planning. Since entering the industry in 2021, I have dedicated myself to creating unforgettable experiences that reflect not only the beauty of the moment, but also the unique story and style of each client I work with. I hold a degree in Management Strategy from the University of West Alabama, a foundation that enhances my ability to approach each event with clarity, structure, and purpose. This background in strategic planning allows me to effectively manage timelines, vendor relationships, and logistical challenges, ensuring every detail comes together seamlessly.
My true passion lies in the creative elements of event production—coordinating timelines, curating décor, and designing spaces that feel both elegant and personal. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep appreciation for thoughtful design, I work closely with each couple to bring their vision to life in a way that feels intentional and uniquely their own. What sets my approach apart is not only my attention to detail, but also my commitment to building strong, trusting relationships with my clients. I believe that a successful event is rooted in clear communication, mutual respect, and a shared excitement for what’s possible. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, I am dedicated to creating moments that leave a lasting impression.
