2 years ago today, I took a leap of faith, quit my 9-5 and dove headfirst into entrepreneurship 🥂
Being a business owner is very similar to being on a rollercoaster🎢 It's an absolutely WILD ride with its fair share of of ups and downs. From navigating unexpected twists & turns to juggling multiple roles, this chapter has been a crash course in resiliency, creativity, and determination.
It's where I've discovered my true strengths, flexed my problem-solving skills, pushed the boundaries of what's possible, and embraced the thrill of charting my own course.
Amidst the inevitable challenges that come with the territory, I am forever grateful for this incredible journey and the unwavering support that has made my business endeavors possible. 🙏🤍
No risk, no magic ✨

Wedding planners have the experience, connections, and insight on who will best execute your vision. We work with each other all the time & we know who will be the best fit for your vision. for example...
Authentic & on-trend photography? is your girl! Fine-art? Look no further than . Looking for a show-stopping floral installation? will make all of your dreams come true.
in short: it's so much more than one vendor being "more affordable" than another. we look at ALL the angles — budget, style, personality, etc. — and recommend YOUR best fit!
Planning a wedding can be an entire year+ of your life. When you're feeling overwhelmed, it's so important to schedule date nights with your partner where wedding talk is TOTALLY off-limits (seriously!).
Getting engaged to the person you love and planning the start of your forever together is one of the magical times in your life. Don't forget to enjoy it.🤍
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but don't overlook the importance of incorporating both of your unique styles into your special day! 🪄 Here are some of our favorite his and hers wedding details:
For Him🤵:
- Personalized cufflinks or tie clips
- A custom suit or tuxedo with unique details
- A special watch or piece of jewelry
- A signature cologne to remind you of the special day
For Her 👰♀️:
- Personalized bridal jewelry or hair accessories
- A bouquet with special meaning or sentimental value
- Colorful or embellished shoes to add a pop of personality
- A signature cocktail or dessert to showcase your favorite flavors
The yin to my yang 👯♀️ Morgan is a logistical queen, executing flawless events for our clients and their loved ones. Equal parts professional and quirky, Morgan puts clients at ease with her down-to-earth personality. I am so incredibly proud of her, and cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us 🖤
We took spring cleaning to a whole new level…
Out with the old and in with the shiny new! 🪩🤩 So what are 3 words that describe Mack & Main?
✨Innovative
✨Intentional
✨Unique
Through this Mack & Main rebrand, we’ve kept these 3 words in mind.
The spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather 🔦🎶
Where are my Elton John fans at?!
We have a special announcement coming soon that we CAN’T WAIT to share✨ Be sure to follow us to hear the latest!
Pro Tip: Book your vendors early!
Life is busy and unpredictable. Booking your favorite vendors, gathering inspo, setting up a wedding website with answers to commonly asked questions from guests (like dress code, registry, hotel accommodations, directions, etc.) when you have down time can ease stress & save you time. The more things you take care of early on, the more relaxed you will feel!
Stressed about planning an entire wedding by yourself?
Whether it's crafting the perfect timeline that keeps your event flowing, curating an exceptional guest experience, styling your stationery & details for photos, or making a plan B that’s just as beautiful as plan A — our job is to make sure your day is the best day ever. 💍
Styling Tip: Order a few extra invitations with faux guest names & addresses!
This is one your photographers will LOVE because they can get creative with stationery flat-lays without giving away your guest's personal information.

We put a LOT of hours into creating the event of your dreams, and while the process can be challenging at times, the end result of our hard work ALWAYS pays off🕺🏻🪩
This one was ✨extra special ✨ because it was for my husband, Nick! For his “golden” 30th birthday (i.e., when the date of your birth coincides with your age), I wanted the entire design to be filled with monochromatic hues.
I worked on the backdrops in the basement and because this is the norm around here, he just assumed it was for another party 😜 This was TRULY a surprise for him, with a BONUS surprise of friends flying in that he hadn’t seen in a while.
We still talk about this day often, and we are so grateful for the memories we created 💛
On the surface, Mack & Main is a planning and design agency — but as most small business owners, we tend to wear a lot of hats 👒
We design mock-ups, attend meetings, handle logistics, create timelines, send emails, build & paint personalized backdrops, source materials and decor, style, set up & tear down... and that's just the abridged version 😜 We take on a limited number of events per year, because to us, quality > quantity.
Ready to party? Inquire ASAP & let's get this party started! 🥳 mackandmain.com/contact-us
My very professional opinion here is simply “nope!”
Looking for some ways to modernize these trends? Try these:
1. Omitting this trend altogether is my #1 advice, but if you are looking for something to replace, an interactive flower bar or a donation to your favorite charity… something that doesn’t make Grandma cringe 😬
2. ~2 is the sweet spot. If you have a lot of loved ones who want to express themselves, have them write you a personalized note instead. Sometimes the most sentimental things feel more personal when not read aloud🌈
3. Invite their significant others to the head table instead of having them sit at a table alone with people they barely know — the more the merrier!
I tell my clients to think about their wedding as one big dinner party…
This allows the couple to step away from the weight of the emotions and pressure surrounding the wedding and focus on some of the fun details. When they can step into playing the role of hosts and planning a beautiful and delicious dinner party filled with exquisite and memorable details, they end up with a beautiful result!
As planners, it’s our job to educate clients, set expectations, and deliver a version of your dream event within your budget.
We work with so many incredible vendors in the industry at all different price points. We know whose products or services will fit within your budget, match your aesthetic AND whose personalities you’ll mesh with the best.
We're your support system, hype-women, advocate & stress-reliever. Sounds kind of amazing, right? ✨
So much growth comes from the hard work that no one sees behind the scenes.
Nothing worthwhile comes easy, and if you keep doing the hard things, eventually they will become easy things.🤍
Hey there! I’m Mackenzie, but most people call me Mack — I'm the owner & creative director here at Mack & Main. After almost a decade in the events industry, I still cannot believe that I actually get to live my dream life full-time.😍
Planning is stressful enough, so I like to keep things light & fun. I love genuinely getting to know our clients and collaborating with vendors to create one-of-a-kind designs. You know what they say, teamwork makes the dream work!👏

Happy Valentine's Day!
My biggest supporter and brightest light in my life. Getting married to Nick was an incredible experience, but having him as my life partner in marriage is EVEN BETTER.✨
Love is in the air... & so is color!
The girls that get it, get it. If you haven't noticed already, we are not afraid to use color at Mack & Main and you will see it in a BIG way for 2023 and beyond!

Many "things" will, in fact, "go wrong." Jamie wanted an outdoor ceremony SO badly. But when the day came, we had our first snowfall of the year and it was absolutely FREEZING, so they decided having the ceremony inside was the best decision to keep their guests comfortable. The result was something totally ✨unique✨ and even more “them” than the original plan! All this to say — no matter how it ends up, it's exactly as it's meant to be. All the worry, stress, anxiety won't change a thing. So find your dream team of vendors, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride — it might turn out better than expected.🤍
Every day looks different, which I love! My favorite part on the day-of the event: Seeing the overall design come together — the look on our client's faces when they see their vision become a reality is second to none 🥰
I love everything about weddings — the dancing, the energy, the people, the designs. But absolutely nothing about a wedding is as important as the marriage that will follow. If you're feeling overwhelmed with planning, just remember that at the end of it all is the start of forever with your best friend ✨

Breathe life into your reception space by repurposing your ceremony florals when possible. This is not only a sustainable option, but it ensures that your guests will enjoy those beautiful blooms all night long. Some of our favorites way to repurpose ceremony florals are around your sweetheart table, near your bar, or creating a statement piece for that WOW factor.✨

Personally I think a first look maximizes your day and allows you to feel calm, soak in the love, and be fully present with your people! Cons you ask? I only have 2… ✨You lose the ‘traditional’ first look at the altar ✨Any wedding day hair & makeup will need to start earlier! Drop your thoughts in the comments!🤍⬇️
A *pinch me* moment... I can't believe that it has been a year since this swoon worthy styled shoot was published in @greenweddingshoes! What is your favorite part of this styled shoot?

Of course hiring a professional can save you time, but did you know that hiring a planner can actually save you money? Whether it’s educating you on what a wedding *actually* costs, deciding what aspects are worth splurging vs. saving, or recommending vendors within your price range — a planner will help you stay on track and ensure you have the event of your dreams within your budget!🤑@ashleysaraphoto @vastmadestudios @communityflowershop @bridalbeginning @shannoncolemakeup @teasesalon_shari
