About Us

In the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where history and culture merge with the rhythm of everyday life, a remarkable story of passion and elegance began to unfold. In April 2016, Christopher took a leap of faith and founded his event planning, coordination, and design company. Originally known as Chris McKinley Consultants and Events, this humble venture quickly gained recognition for its unwavering commitment to excellence and dedication to bringing dreams to life.

Specializing in luxury weddings, parties, and events, Chris McKinley Event Design captured the hearts of brides, grooms, and event hosts and hostesses throughout the southern region of the United States. With a distinctive approach that blends simplicity and elegance, they mastered the art of creating immersive experiences that left a lasting impression on every guest.

At Chris McKinley Event Design, no detail is too small to be overlooked. Each event is meticulously executed, with luxurious precision woven into every aspect. From the stunning floral arrangements to the carefully curated decor, from the exquisite table settings to the seamless coordination of vendors, every element is crafted with passion and expertise.

But what sets Chris McKinley Event Design apart is our remarkable talent and artistry and our unwavering commitment to ensuring that each client "Celebrates Luxuriously." Christopher and his team himself pours their heart and soul into every special moment, channeling from Christopher's inspiration and driving force, his late mother, Leonetta L. McKinley. It is her memory that fuels his dedication to creating magical experiences that surpass expectations and create memories to last a lifetime.

Today, Chris McKinley Event Design stands proudly as a household name, revered for their ability to transform visions into reality, for their ability to turn dreams into tangible moments of splendor. Their reach extends far and wide, captivating the hearts of those seeking to celebrate life's most precious occasions in the most extraordinary way. In 2022, Chris McKinley Event Design expanded to the beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah.
