Hi, I’m Mckenna Van Bibber—lead planner, design enthusiast, and the calm energy every wedding day needs. I’ve been planning weddings professionally since 2015, but the spark first started after watching 27 Dresses and thinking, “That’s what I want to do.”

Since then, I’ve built Simply Made Weddings around the belief that your engagement should be joyful—not stressful. I specialize in outdoor elegance, timeless design, and transforming ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences. Whether we’re planning in a wide-open field or a church gym, I make sure every detail feels intentional and beautiful.

Clients often tell me I’m one step ahead of them—grabbing the drink they were just thinking about, calming nerves with a smile, and making the day feel effortless. I’m both calm and collected and fun and creative, blending timelines with aesthetics and heart.

My favorite part of the wedding day? That electric moment just before the bride walks down the aisle—when everything slows down and it all becomes real.

If we meet, you’ll quickly learn my hair color changes often (pinks, oranges, reds—I like to keep things fun), and that I’m just as committed to making sure your timeline runs on time as I am to making sure you feel present and cared for. My goal is always this: that you feel fully free to focus on each other, knowing I’ve taken care of everything else.
