Before Jennifer was our CEO, she was our first ever surprise real wedding! Since then, she and her husband have become the owners and stewards of The Big Fake Wedding. With their experience in growing and expanding business internationally, they make the perfect team to carry out our vision and mission. 

Austin is in charge of bringing on stellar vendors in a number of our cities, as well as managing our incredible sales team. She is also overseeing our first ever baby show, Swaddle + Swoon. Austin and her husband live in Columbia, SC with their four little ones!

Johna manages all things marketing + design here at The Big Fake Wedding. She’s basically a walking billboard for our company, since that is where she and her husband met! As a new mom herself, Johna has also recently started managing the brand of our sister event, Swaddle + Swoon!

Landrum scores super-high as an extrovert and synergist on personality tests, so it’s no coincidence that she is energized by people and conversations. She acts as team captain of our Production Managers while also overseeing our National Vendor relationships. 

Abigail is a born and bred Georgia peach and Berry College grad. In her spare time you can find her cheering on her little brother on the lacrosse team, listening to murder podcasts and hosting non-murder-related dinner parties. One day she hopes to have a bed & breakfast and wedding venue in Franklin, Tennessee! 

Say hello to Ashleymae – you can take the girl out of California but you can’t take the California out of the girl. If her love for escape rooms gives you any indication, she’s always up for an adventure. One of Ashley’s main strengths is woo (winning others over), so she makes the perfect Production Manager. 

Meet Katie, the girl bringing 90s fashion back! This girl is an activator. Be warned, if you’re sitting on the sidelines during a party she’ll have you leading a conga line and romping around on the dance floor in record time. Her confident and energetic spirit coupled with her love for people make her an easy addition to our family.

Whitney lives in Greenville, SC and is a graduate of Clemson University. She loves to travel, as she has been to over 15 different countries! Being the natural leader and negotiator that she is, we think she was made for this role. If asked what she would be in the next life, she’d likely tell you broadway star! 

Morgan is part of our growing South Carolina team! When she’s not planning fake weddings, she loves reading and hanging out with friends on the lake. Little known fact about Morgan: she was a  cheerleader at Clemson!

Jamie started on our team back in The NotWedding days and eventually worked to bring our event to the northeast, specifically Cape Cod. Jamie owns a wedding planning business, Cape Cod Celebrations, but loves being a part of The Big Fake Wedding team where she gets the chance to produce events all over the country.

After spending a semester interning with us, we were thrilled to invite Morgan to be a permanent addition to the team! A girl of many talents, Morgan is great at operations but also an incredibly talented photographer. Outside of work, you can catch her hanging out with friends at Piedmont Park, hiking and mentoring high school students! 

Callie started The Big Fake Wedding (then called The NotWedding) in 2008. After eight years of growing both the business and her family (they’ve welcomed three little girls in that time!), she has moved from her title as Owner to Founder. Callie is now the Director of Growth for Lasting : an app that makes marriage counseling accessible to all!
