Meet Your Planner
Maddie Thorn
Event Specialist & In-House Wedding Planner
"Hiiiii! Maddie here!"
I started as an intern at The French Farmhouse right when the amazing Scribner Family opened the doors! Since then, I personally have been a part of nearly 500 weddings and am the full time Event Specialist and in-house wedding planner. So, it is safe to say I know this venue like the back of my hand.
A little about me — I grew up in Wisconsin but have lived in Texas most of my life. I went to the University of North Texas where I studied Event Design, and always dreamed of getting to work in weddings. I truly feel like I am exactly where I am meant to be!
My absolute favorite parts are meeting couples on their very first tour, answering a million planning questions, dreaming up design details and then getting to watch it all come to life on their wedding day. I LOVE being the go-to girl throughout the entire process, creating seamless wedding days and making sure my couples feel like every detail is handled so they can truly enjoy the experience.
I can't wait to meet you!
