  • I’m the founder & owner of the Maggie Walker Weddings Team. It’s wild that I’ve been running my business for over nine years now - it’s been an amazing ride and I still am in love with what I do! I’m a travel and hiking junkie, an ice cream lover, A CLICHE MILLENIAL DOGMOM, an enthusiastic Hufflepuff, and I LOVE planning weddings! My mantra I tell myself is “strength and joy”, because I want to live my life in a way that those values are reflected to everyone I meet. When I’m not helping you plan and style your wedding, then you can find me being a goofball on an adventure with those I love!

  • If there's one thing I love... it's a party! Give me all the color, florals, and thoughtful details & my little planner heart will be happy. My favorite part of wedding day? The mess afterwards (no, really). Confetti, empty glasses, leftover flowers, slices of cake with just a few bites left - All the evidence that you had the celebration of your dreams! I'm also obsessed with traveling, reading romantasy novels, and my cat Saroo.

  • I absolutely love helping couples plan a stress-free day. I’m a licensed social worker (so handling chaos and people? I Got you!). I love the creative outlet that wedding planning provides. I almost always have a cup of coffee in hand and a sarcastic comment to go with it. When I’m not working, you can find me planning my next travel adventure, bargain shopping, or spending time with friends.

  • Howdy! You can usually find me baking, messing with my cats, or challenging friends to a new board game. I'm a born & raised Georgia girl! I love living in my quiet small town and being only a few minutes away from Chatt. My house is filled with dried flowers that I've saved from weddings, and plants that are mostly alive.  I was always planning events for different organizations in college (shoutout to West Georgia). But, I didn't get my wedding planning spark until I was working at a bridal store with the best mentors that helped me on my feet. I want all of my couples to enjoy every laugh, happy tear, warm hug, and song on the dance floor without worrying about a single thing.
