Today we’d like to introduce you to Madison McGhee.
Hi Madison, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Hello!
I am Madison McGhee, owner of Reverie Wedding and Event Planning. For more than a decade, I have worked in the wedding and event industry. I’m proud to be a Master Certified Wedding Planner through The Certified Wedding Planner Society, the nation’s leading wedding planning certification program.
After earning a degree in Hospitality Management from the University of Memphis, I began my career in corporate event planning. I quickly learned that my true passion lies in wedding planning, so I set out to begin my career as a Certified Wedding Planner. Before launching Reverie Wedding and Event Planning, I was privileged to work as the Memphis Associate Planner for an incredible wedding planning company based in Tennessee.
I have successfully executed hundreds of weddings and gained many accolades and publications throughout the years, but I realized I was helping build someone else’s dream. I decided it was time to create my own business, so I could really showcase who I was as a person and as a brand. I decided on the name “Reverie” which means “to be lost in a daydream.”
I know how important your wedding day is, and I am truly honored that my clients entrust me with their big day. I don’t take a single second for granted, because I am thrilled to help plan an event that fits you and your significant other perfectly. I pride myself on making your wedding day unique to you because you are my number one priority. I want each of my clients to feel like they are a member of my family, because well if I plan your wedding, we are just destined to be best friends afterward!
So let’s make your wedding day dreams come true!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Every journey has its ups and down, and owning your own business is definitely no exception. Thankfully I have been in the industry for many years prior to opening up my own company, so maintaining those relationships with other great professionals has been a huge help!
I am also a big believer in learning from mistakes. Even though there have been hiccups along the way, I look at each situation and see where I can learn from and correct each experience for the next time. This industry is ever-changing, so evaluating and growing from each situation will really help you stand out.

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
I have always been a planner. Growing up, I would always plan my birthday parties meticulously, making sure everything was perfect for everyone’s enjoyment! I have always been creative as well. My main interests include dance and cake baking.
I began taking dance at 3 years old and later became a teacher. I choreographed hundreds of dances and helped create our yearly show productions, which have a lot of moving parts and logistics most people don’t think about.
I also have had that entrepreneurial mindset for as long as I can remember. I started my own cake company at 15 years old. I created custom birthday cakes, wedding cakes, etc. It was so much fun and that is what ultimately led me into the field of Hospitality.
Pricing:
- Our packages start at $2750
