Meet the McKenzies

Rob McKenzie

FOUNDER & OWNER | CREATIVE DIRECTOR

While working towards his Masters in 2016, Rob founded McKenzie Event Lighting as a side hustle after helping his mother with string lighting for her event space. As a wedding planner, she was frustrated with the lack of reliable help in the area. An entrepreneur at heart, Rob turned the small weekend gigs into a growing business in Charleston—the top wedding destination in the country. 

Arden McKenzie

CO-OWNER & DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

In 2023, Rob's wife, Arden, came aboard to help take the business to the next level. Arden specializes in the day-to-day tasks and operations of the business, from event logistics to marketing and client relations. Her proficiency in overseeing the logistical aspects of the team complements Rob's imaginative prowess, resulting in a harmonious and productive collaboration.
