Bri McKinley / Assistant Coordinator

CURRENT FULL-TIME JOB: In-Salon Cosmetologist; Special Event Hairstylist and Make-up artist

HOW I CAME TO KEYSTONE: I actually met Katie at another assistant coordinator's wedding and then worked one of her weddings in Fall of 2023. I'm really excited to be the newest member of the team!

FAVORITE PART OF A WEDDING: It's a tie:

1. That "WOW" moment when the groom and all of the guests see the bride for the first time. There's always such a special glimmer in the bride and groom's eyes and you can just see the joy radiating from them right before they get ready to say "I Do!"

2. The bride and groom's first dance. SO many times I've been brought to tears seeing the pure love they have for each other... BONUS if they've choreographed something clever or creative to go with it!

FAVORITE PART OF MY OWN WEDDING: I've been with my boyfriend for a very long time but I've actually never been married! But if I do get married one day: I think it will be having everyone I love in the same place at the same time!

FAVORITE WEDDING TREND: I love that I've seen so many couples come up with creative ways to get their guests involved in the day and get to know each other when they otherwise wouldn't! It creates such a fun dynamic for everyone and even encourages everyone you love to meet each other!

WHAT I DO TO RELAX: I love a long drive; either with an Audiobook, some loud music, a podcast, or just some quality conversation with my boyfriend or a friend. 

WHO YOU'D FIND ON MY PLAYLIST: The shorter list is what you wouldn't find on my playlist. 

FAVORITE SHOW EVER: Gilmore Girls, Ozark, Grey's Anatomy, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Parenthood

GO-TO COFFEE ORDER: French vanilla iced latte with oatmilk 

OTHER FUN FACTS: Lifelong enthusiast of 90's boy bands, Harry Potter, Broadway musicals, travelling, and ethnic foods; I hope to travel to Greece one day (elopement idea?!); I pride myself on my sense of humor and ability to connect with people)
