MEET

Alexandra Woodlief 

(Owner)

Welcome! I’m Alexandra (middle name Madison) and the lead Creative Director behind Alexandra Madison Weddings.

AMW began in 2013 with a commitment to truly understanding every element that brings a wedding day to life. I pursued in-depth training across multiple disciplines including venue management, client relations, catering, rentals, and full-service wedding planning allowing me to approach each event with both refined vision and seamless execution. I’ve been fortunate to gain experience in inspiring destinations such as Santa Fe, New Mexico, Los Angeles, California, and throughout the Southeast, including South Carolina and Georgia.

At the heart of my work is a love for thoughtfully curated design and fashion for women. I take great joy in guiding brides toward elevated details and products that feel intentional, personal, and effortlessly beautiful. My approach blends timeless elegance with modern style helping each bride feel confident, celebrated, and unmistakably herself.

Alexandra Madison Weddings began serving brides full time in 2017 and now produces an average of 40 weddings annually. Our wedding-day team is composed of six trusted lead planners and assistants. To ensure a high level of care and attention, each lead planner accepts no more than 10 weddings per year, allowing us to deliver a refined, personalized experience from start to finish.

We can’t wait to begin designing something truly special with you!

Parker Coggins
Lead Planner


From Raleigh, NC, Parker is our Charlotte based lead planner. With a background in banquet events and her knowledge from the Country Club and Golf Tournament industries,  she is the embodiment of Southern Hospitality! Parker has been part of our AMW lead team since 2018.

Her favorite part of a wedding day is the couple's first dance. She explains that "not only is it a special moment between the newlyweds and parents, but I think these dances are the perfect transition from the ceremony into the celebration."

Helen Enghauser

Lead Planner

Originally from Chicago, Helen is another one of AMW's Charleston based planners!

Helen's favorite wedding trend is a bride having a second dress, embroidered dress, or fun wedding sneakers! She also loves late night passes, glow sticks, and sunglasses, as she says " I love to see all of the fun reception details come together to spice up the dance floor!"

Lizi Lengel

Lead Planner

Lizi is a lead planner from Rock Hill, South Carolina. She joined AMW in May of 2024 after graduating from the University of Mississippi where she graduated with a degree in Hospitality Management.  

 

Her favorite part of a wedding day is the reception first look, “watching the reaction and pure excitement of the bride seeing her vision fully come to life within the space is truly a gift!"

Sarah-Elizabeth

Lead Planner

Sarah-Elizabeth is our lead planner from Columbia, SC! She is going on 4 years with AMW as a lead planner and rentals logistics manager. Her culinary background and experience in private clubs helps her coordinate all parts of the day to deliver an amazing experience for the bride and her guests.

Her favorite part of the wedding day is a first look between the bride and groom. Sarah-Elizabeth explains "I love when the couple has a moment to themselves before they get whisked away with the events of the day. It is so sweet to see how much they care for each other".

Abby Fox

Lead Planner

Lead Planner Abby is our lead planner based in our office in Columbia, SC! Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, her background in events and interior design has inspired her passion for planning! Abby's incredibly detail-oriented style is key throughout the planning process, as well as on the big day itself, which she is there for from start to finish.

 

Her favorite part of a wedding day is either the dip-kiss or the first dance. She explains " in the midst of all of the decoration and extravagance of the day, it is such a simple moment when you can really see how much a couple loves each other."
