Hi, I’m Mackenzie!

Funny enough, wedding planning wasn't always the plan! I was originally pursuing nursing when I got engaged and fell in love with planning my own wedding. Around the same time, a college writing assignment had me researching another career, so I figured why not kill two birds with one stone? One paper and a shadowing opportunity later, I found myself spending the next two years working as a wedding coordinator!

Owning my own business was always the dream, but I wanted some experience under my belt first. When my husband's job moved us to Northwest Arkansas in 2025, I figured it was the perfect time to finally go for it! Now, life has brought us full circle, and we've landed back home in Columbus. Mackenzie Smith Weddings has come along with me! All thanks to my wedding, a college paper and a couple of unexpected moves!
