meet your planner
Hello there! My name is Chelsea and I'm the proud owner and founder of Chelsea McBrien Weddings & Events. I became a self-made entrepreneur in 2012 when I founded businesses in the Pet Industry, Graphic Design & Cosmetics. I was first introduced to the wedding industry providing makeup services to brides across the Gulf Coast. I loved preparing brides before their big day and enjoyed sharing my creativity. While servicing brides in Cosmetics I quickly realized all of my experience and knowledge in business, organization, planning, design and details have specially formulated the skills required to become the planner I am today. It felt like the wedding industry was screaming my name & I quickly found myself in the perfect world to offer my passion & creativity to excited couples across the Gulf Coast.
I graduated with degrees in English, Education & Communications from The University of West Florida & launched Chelsea McBrien Weddings & Events shortly afterwards. In my second year of business we were honored to be awarded Pensacola's Best Wedding Planning Service. I mean it when I say my clients are truly the best. I couldn't be more thankful for this dream job. I also truly love tasting every cake at every wedding. It's a special moment to have the honor of standing back at the end of a perfect wedding with a big grin on my face knowing my bride is her most happiest!
When Iโm not behind my portfolio & laptop, you can find me out & about with my husband and three girls, Molly, Everley & Ellanore. We love traveling & going on adventures. We take total advantage of the abundance of sunshine every chance we get.
