Molly Mckinley Designs Wedding Planning, Design, + Coordination in the Southeast US and beyond. We really take the time to get to know you, your style, and what's important to you.

The vision of MMD is simple: We want to create beautiful, personable, memorable weddings. That way, we can create an event that's unique to you. I'm passionate about finding ways to save, crafting where you can, and understanding when it's best to leave it to the pro's. Since joining the world of weddings in 2011, my work has been featured by several publications including Style Me Pretty, Occasio

ns Magazine, and Rustic Wedding Chic. I love my job! Being a part of your special day is the highest honor I could imagine. My favorite part: seeing the day come together perfectly and watching you enjoy it stress-free! I would love to meet you for coffee and get to know all about you. My favorite weddings are the ones that reflect the story of the bride and groom. No matter how big or small, let's make your day about you!

We loved planning and celebrating with Kristy & Colin for their day at Cator Woolford Gardens! Kristy was so trusting with her design and color palette. I love how their day turned out! Thank you to The Knot for sharing their intimate wedding.

Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, is Cator Woolford Gardens, a dreamy escape that immediately transported Kristy and Colin's wedding guests from the bustling metropolis into a romantic, Italian-inspired bucolic wedding celebration. Beyond the couple's distinctly European elegance at their we...

Can't believe it's been one year since we celebrated these two at Serenbe.

Our grooms wanted to combine the natural beauty of the venue with their bold, dramatic style. For the wedding, Chess and Michael were inspired by designer Tom Ford, but desired his aesthetic in the Georgia woods. Luxe meets rustic. Masculine modern meets floral glam.

In love with this teaser video from Catherine Vargas Films of our handsome grooms Chess & Michael!

The incredible design all started with Chess's suit from Mr Turk. Our vendor team absolutely killed it.

Watch the wedding teaser of Chess Britt-León and Michael Britt-León. Our two gorgeous grooms are show stoppers and know how to throw an unforgettable wedding! What an incredible celebration of love surrounded by all the good energy and happiness from both our grooms.

Their beautiful wedding was set in Serenbe surrounded by its stunning and scenic views. Obsessed with all wedding details - their floral print tuxes, beautiful wedding decor and gorgeous display of florals throughout the place! So swoon worthy!

Chess and Michael, we thank you for letting us tell your story. You both perfectly compliment each other and we are excited for the next chapter in your lives. We felt all the love that surrounds you both, from your family, friends and loved ones. We can’t wait for you to see the rest of your film soon!

You both are truly amazing people! Thank you for letting us be part of your special day. Cheers and enjoy the teaser film!

It was fun to relive this day with CRUSH event design, I Do Linens, Southern Vintage, and more!

Jane and Michael, also known as “Kav,” married at Inman Park Methodist Church. The church was perfect for the smaller guest count. The stained glass windows and textured walls create an old world European feel, the perfect counterpart to a Summerour reception…

Our Story

We believe that the business of weddings is personal. Fixing your train and opening the doors for you before you walk down the aisle is an honor. Tucking you away after you’ve said “I do” is a precious opportunity when we get to see time stand still while you soak in your first married moments. Revealing your reception decor, which has been so carefully planned from start to finish, is the most surreal feeling. Showing you how to cut your cake is always hilarious. Telling you when to run through the sparklers (and where to stop and kiss to get “the shot”) is bittersweet. All of your big moments should be shared with someone you consider a confidant and friend. We are so grateful when a couple chooses us to walk alongside them through their engagement season.

Molly McKinley Designs, established in 2013, is an Atlanta-based wedding and event planning company. Serving both local and destination clients, we create thoughtful, refined environments for our couples and their guests. We believe in a relational designing process, ensuring that our couples’ unique stories are conveyed through meaningful design. We carefully consider both the aesthetics and logistics of every detail so that each celebration feels natural, inviting, and inspired.

Growing primarily through word of mouth, MMD is a leader in the weddings market. Our team is well known and frequently recommended for our expertise in each facet of events. Our mission is to come alongside our clients throughout the planning process to provide guidance, support, and confidence in their decisions. On the day of the wedding, our hope is that they feel the day is uniquely them, full of memorable moments and details. Although every event is different, our goal is to make each one feel:

Refined ⬪ Inviting ⬪ Timeless ⬪ Inspired ⬪ Creative ⬪ Inventive ⬪ Intentional ⬪ Quality
