PERSONALIZED PLANNING FOR THE hopeless romantics

Madelyn is the owner and founder of Madelyn Tenney Events. This is her story: 

Every little girl dreams of their perfect wedding day; but for me, it was different. I would attend weddings and take note of every linen, floral, and detail in between. I always knew that I wanted to do events, but I now know that I was created by God to be a wedding planner. Beyond the shadow of a doubt.

Since the beginning, Madelyn Tenney Events has served as one of the biggest blessings in my life. The Lord has continued to bless this business and allow our team to do what we love. We would love to be considered to walk through this season of life with you.

xoxo,

Madelyn
