Meet the Spring 2023 Team!
We are so excited to introduce our Spring 2023 team! The Lead Team, Marketing Coordinators, and Planning Coordinators all work together to make Alexandra Madison Weddings possible. We loved hearing and sharing everyone's top wedding trends for the season, the best parts of the wedding day, and their favorite parts about working with AMW.
The Lead Team
Alexandra Woodlief
Alexandra is the Owner and Lead Designer of Alexandra Madison Weddings! Alexandra started AMW back in 2013 and has training and wedding experience from all over the country. She has been everywhere from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles, California and back to our home in South Carolina. Alexandra has experience in all areas of events such as venue management, catering, rentals, and of course, wedding planning. Her favorite part of wedding day is the cake cutting; she loves how special that first moment is between the new couple. Alexandra is excited to see
the new and exciting looks this team
can bring to each wedding day this season!
Parker Coggins
Parker is one of our Lead Planners from Raleigh, North Carolina! She attended the University of South Carolina and is currently based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She is truly a Carolina girl through and through! Parker's journey with Alexandra Madison Weddings began in 2019 as an Associate Planner. Now, she helps us expand AMW further into North Carolina. Parker comes from an experience background in events, private clubs, catering, banquets and golf tournaments. Her favorite wedding trend is custom champagne bottles and anything specialty monogrammed; she feels it adds an element of personalization and uniqueness on the big day.
Sarah English
Sarah is one of our Lead Planners from Chapin, South Carolina! She went to the University of South Carolina where she studied Public Relations with a minor in Business. She has been with AMW since the Fall of 2019. She loves working with AMW as her position allows her to be a positive role model for the interns while doing what she loves!
Sarah recently got married herself this past Labor Day weekend at The Cotton Press in Columbia, South Carolina. We loved planning her vibrant and colorful day with her and new husband Baylen! See her Wedding Album by Ashleigh Donahue Photography here!

Abby loves working with AMW as she loves giving the brides advice, paying close attention to detail, and helping others. Her favorite parts of the wedding day are the first dance and the beautiful flowers that are displayed.
