Hawthorne Creative Wedding + Event Company

Hi! You can call me Mads, although my name is Madison. Go Bears! My spouse and I both attended college in Springfield, although we are both originally from the Bootheel region of Missouri. I love interacting with people, organizing events, and overseeing other people's lives, which is why I decided to major in hospitality. (Ask my buddies; I'm serious!) We were high school sweethearts before I married my spouse in 2017. 2018 saw our relocation to St. Louis, Missouri, and we couldn't be happier. We enjoy going to any restaurant on The Hill, taking our four dogs to Forest Park, and, if we're being completely honest, binge-watching New Girl on Netflix. As an intern with a Wedding Planner + Designer in 2014, I started my career in the wedding sector. Over the years, I've managed a number of venues and catering businesses in Southwest Missouri and St. Louis. I've learned a ton, but it wasn't enough for me. I felt certain that starting my own business was what I was supposed to accomplish in part because of the sincere connections I enjoy developing with my customers. There is nothing quite like working one-on-one with my couples to visualize and arrange one of the happiest days of their lives!
