ABOUT
McKenna fell in love with Wedding Planning years ago, when she took her eye for interior design and detail, and stepped into wedding design and coordination at a beautiful venue in Tennessee. She began her own Wedding Planning business, coordinating over 450 weddings, traveling across the United States and living for a time in Alaska as an entrepreneur. After witnessing the grandeur of the Sierras years ago on a hiking trip, she knew her heart was always drawn to putting down roots in this gorgeous location, so she was thrilled to begin her next chapter of Wedding Planning here in the beauty of Lake Tahoe. She’s is so excited to walk this precious time of life with you and your fiancé!

ABOUT
As a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, you could say that Planning weddings was always destined to be in Danielle's future. After watching every episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" and binging every Rom Com known to man kind, Wedding & Event Planning always felt like the natural career path. In 2014, Danielle started planning Events, and after planning her first Wedding in 2016, she was hooked. Since then, Danielle has helped hundreds of couples go from "Stressed to Blessed" in their wedding planning journey, both as a Wedding Planner and previous Wedding Venue Manager. She founded our sister Company "Amador Event Co" in 2021 (Wedding Planning, Design & Rentals), & expanded to bring together another team of experienced, high caliber wedding planners to help more couples in the Tahoe area & beyond.
