Meet the McKenzies
Rob McKenzie
FOUNDER & OWNER | CREATIVE DIRECTORWhile working towards his Masters in 2016, Rob founded McKenzie Event Lighting as a side hustle after helping his mother with string lighting for her event space. As a wedding planner, she was frustrated with the lack of reliable help in the area. An entrepreneur at heart, Rob turned the small weekend gigs into a growing business in Charleston—the top wedding destination in the country.
Arden McKenzie
CO-OWNER & DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONSIn 2023, Rob's wife, Arden, came aboard to help take the business to the next level. Arden specializes in the day-to-day tasks and operations of the business, from event logistics to marketing and client relations. Her proficiency in overseeing the logistical aspects of the team complements Rob's imaginative prowess, resulting in a harmonious and productive collaboration.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Weddings are tough. Even if one vendor is as easy as Rob it’s a huge win. We communicated the least with Rob out of all vendors and yet it was the smoothest and easiest vendor. Best bang for our buck too. Even with a last minute pivot. Inside or outside Rob’s lighting will be the best you can have. Trust in him to make it wonderful and it’ll be great.
