Madden Made Events (2025)

Are you tired of going to the same wedding on repeat? Yeah… we don’t do that.

Brooke and Lucas wanted greenery, but there’s no way we were reverting back to 2019 Pinterest trends — so we needed to make it feel mid-century, wild and fresh. Obviously was the only one for the job.

Out of the box ideas for couples who hate cookie cutter s**t - it’s what we do.

When I asked Cassie and Kosta how they wanted their wedding to look and feel the first word they used was “iconic” - so I knew we had to create a wow moment their guests have never experienced at a wedding before. I wanted to bring in an interactive element that still felt like a natural extension of the Italianate Garden - cue the live
statues.

Are you ready to ditch the ordinary and create and epic celebration that feels like you? Looks like you’ve found your planner and designer.

Your tented wedding needs a full service wedding planner and designer and so do you. Point blank period.

The truth is that planning and successfully executing a tented wedding is not only hard - it’s time consuming. Relying on your wedding planner’s design knowledge, expertise, and logistics-filled brain is going to be what keeps the planning experience from taking over your life.

“Kayla thinks of everything. I can’t count the number of times she brought up considerations that we never would have thought of. She made sure every detail being planned was going to result in the absolute best possible experience for all involved in our day.”

If you want to enjoy your planning process and be blown away by your own wedding - we got you. Tented weddings aren’t for the weak - but they are the most personal, special and our absolute jam ❤️‍🔥

The truth is, if you’re interviewing full service wedding planners you’re going to see a lot of the same lists of services from one proposal to the next. The real difference comes in what those planners can offer you outside of those bullet points – when you choose to work with me, you’re choosing me because

✨ You want a down-to-earth planning experience that feels organized but not overly formal or stuffy. You’re ready to leave your spreadsheets behind and and let me do my thing.

✨ You’re looking for a designer who specializes in blank slate venues, tented weddings, and creating unique and personal designs. You want to color outside of the lines and you know I can’t stand those fu***ng lines.

✨ You enjoy my personality and actually look forwarding to spending time with me throughout the process and on your wedding weekend. I’m someone you off the bat feel like you can trust but also want to hang out with.

✨ We share common ethos and a commitment to human rights. You know and care that we prioritize creating a safe and welcoming space for all couples in the wedding industry.

✨ We only take on a very limited number of weddings. You know that with us you’re getting the full dedication and commitment from me and my team for your full wedding weekend (and the attention you deserve.)

At the end of the day it’s no secret that there are so many incredible and talented wedding planners in this market - but if you want a Madden Made wedding and planning experience, there is only one way to get there.

Imagine this — it’s your wedding weekend, and all your favorite people are greeted with a local draft beer as they check in at the coziest lodge in Vermont.

Brenna and Tim’s wedding weekend at .lodge gave guests the most convenient, comfortable and down right fun experience. A pizza truck welcome party, a morning yoga session, an epic wedding celebration, and an apres ski vibe after party — what more could you ask for?

At Madden Made we are focused on creating a wedding weekend that feels authentic to you and allows you to be fully present with your people and in your celebration. It’s what we do.

You may be feeling the pressure to book your vendors and book them fast - don’t.

It’s true that wedding pros have been booking further out than years past, but don’t let that pressure you into making quick decisions that could end up being bad ones. Pressure booking can lead to…

➡️ Negative financial implications if you don’t understand your full budget before signing a contract (what some of us know as “venue poor.”)

➡️ Choosing a vendor who isn’t the right fit because you focused on locking someone down versus finding a good match.

➡️ Feeling stuck with a bad match because your style and preferences have shifted from when you got engaged two years ago.

You want to be proactive and have updates to share with friends and family (and we love that for you) - but it’s important to take a second, breathe and make sure you’re making good choices that won’t lead to major regrets. This isn’t to say don’t lock your dream squad in, this is to say don’t lock your not-dream squad in.

We may be bias, but your first decision should be finding the right planner and designer for you. Once we’re on your team, you already know we are going to build an incredible team of badass creatives regardless of your wedding timeline.

“We want our wedding to feel like you’re at a cozy dive bar over the holidays with only your favorite people and favorite drinks and the best music.” You got it.

A historical venue, cozy lighting, a pre-ceremony cocktail hour, retro details, and vinyl spinning all night gave Connor and Ben’s guests the most unique wedding experience. Comfort and joy was everywhere✨

Starting a petition for more cake cuttings at lounge sets with your immediate families — not only are they fun but they look this good ❤️‍🔥

Right before guests were invited to kick off the dance floor, Brooke and Lucas cut their wedding cake with their immediate families while hanging out at their cocktail lounge. It was a special experience they got to share with their closest people — sharing bites of their cake with one another and honoring Brooke’s parents marriage with a vintage cake topper from their wedding.

“We want our guests to experience the magic of the farm” and that they did.

An operating farm venue, hand drawn details, the natural quirks of the land, local ingredients and blooms, and a last minute rain storm gave Kara and Ben’s guests the most authentic Vermont experience. Magic was everywhere✨

Why have signature drinks when you can have signature pairings instead?

During our first meeting Connor explained how her and Ben’s tastes were similar but different — “Ben’s more like a Miller Lite and clams and I’m more like a negroni and oysters” — and I never forgot that.

When it came to their design I wanted to highlight their personalities and how they were unique but blended — insert their signature pairings. Displayed as a statement moment, included in their custom card deck, and served for enjoyment!

POV: you need a little help to go all in and plan and design a New York City wedding in four weeks — insert Madden Made Events.

When Kat and Jesse decided to go all in on their New York wedding they knew they needed the right partner to get them to the finish line, execute their vision, and give them the opportunity to be fully present in their day. And we did just that. From intimate portraits around the city, to a perfect lunchtime ceremony and reception, to their disco vibes after party (with a surprise appearance by Elvis) - it was a day filled completely with real moments, real love, and real fun.

If you’re looking for the ultimate cheerleader and creative partner, you’ve come to the right place ❤️‍🔥

An elevated design doesn’t have to be a boring one.

Connor and Ben’s wedding design was inspired by their love for dive bars, retro nostalgia and the Rhode Island food scene. We focused on bringing every detail to life through personalized touches and a cohesive design. Every touch point, food station and detail was intentionally curated (down to the branded pizza paper) — their guests could not get over the surprise and delights at every corner and just how much they represented who Ben and Connor are.

Truth is, you’re tired of boring weddings and so are we. So do yourself a favor and choose the designer you trust to create something fresh, that will surprise even you on your wedding day ❤️‍🔥

Jess and Matt wanted dinner to feel like the main event — it was important to them to give their guests an opportunity to connect over three incredible family style courses. With that goal in mind (and their love for 90s nostalgia) came the cootie catcher place card. After finding their seats, guests explored fun conversation starter questions (chosen by Matt and Jess themselves) and these “place cards” became a memorable experience throughout dinner.

Together we will color outside of the lines of what you think a wedding design should look like or be — it’s what makes your wedding more than just “beautiful” — anyone can create a beautiful design, not everyone can create a memorable one.
