What does it mean to be Grand?

At Grand Bridal Co., we believe every bride deserves to have the day they have always dreamed of. In a world of "fast" everything, being grand is about taking the time for quality. It’s the luxury of a seamless morning where every detail is handled with care. We believe your wedding hair shouldn’t just look good—it should feel like a masterpiece.

To us, grand isn't about being loud; it’s about presence. It’s the effortless blend of sophistication and luxury that turns heads the moment you enter a room. We believe true luxury is found in seamless service, a look tailored specifically for you, and the confidence that comes from knowing your hair is in expert hands.

Grandeur is the sweet spot where sophistication meets magnificence. It’s a sleek, low bun that looks like a work of art, or voluminous waves that hold their shape from the first photo to the last dance. It’s about standing tall, feeling radiant, and owning the room.

Grand Bridal Co. was founded with one simple goal in mind: to create a safe space where all brides are welcomed, honored, and celebrated.

Fun fact! I’m a self-proclaimed Disney Adult (I promise I’m not cringey) who visits Orlando more than the average person. My biggest career goal is doing hair for Disney weddings!

Hello there! My name is McKenzie, a born and raised Grand Rapids native who loves all things hair. I started my career in 2011 (oof!) but my passion for hair and beauty goes generations back, all the way back to my great-grandfather being a barber and my mom being a cosmetologist. Formal and bridal styling has always been my favorite part of my job; loving the simplicity of a bouncy blow-out or details of a twisted updo.

You’ll often find me with a green tea (unsweet Jasmine, of course) in my hands or a green thumb from gardening. When I’m not doom-scrolling at home, I’m out exploring Michigan’s lakeshore towns like Holland & Saugatuck or walking the pier in Grand Haven (2 Pronto Pups for me, please!). I love experimenting with new recipes at home, baking up a sweet treat, or visiting new restaurants with my partner, Kailey.

I’m committed to making your wedding morning go smoothly, sticking to the schedule, keeping the vibes high, and honoring your wishes. I’ll be your right-hand gal, pinning that twist for the 3rd time when it just isn’t sitting right and doing those final touch-ups after getting into your dress. My goal is to leave you feeling your best on your big day and creating a stress-free and safe space to be yourself.

The Gossip Column

  • McKenzie is a genuine artist whom I would highly recommend to anyone. My hair is not easy to work with but it always proves to be no match against her amazing skills. She is flawless at understanding and capturing my vision by asking questions throughout her styling to ensure my thoughts and ideas are heard. I always feel like a true part of her creative process and have felt absolutely beautiful with every style she has done for me. She will always be my go-to!

  • I had the pleasure of McKenzie doing my bridal hair for my wedding day back in 2019 along with my bridesmaids and the mommas. I will forever be so grateful for not only having a trial opportunity with her to play with options but especially for her flexibility and range of skill .… She knew what I liked from before and how my hair behaved and created a look that made me feel my best & most beautiful. McKenzie had the extra work of adding in clip-in extensions and securing a flower crown into my hair that morning and I could not be any happier with how she all made it come together. I had my dream hair for my wedding and even after rigorous dancing my hair looked incredible all night long! Thank you so much McKenzie!

  • Working with McKenzie was a wonderful experience! It was easy to see that she was knowledgeable and so capable of creating a hairstyle that you’ll love. She was so flexible, efficient, and just made the whole experience run smoothly. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

  • I recently hired McKenzie to do my bridal hair after having such a positive experience with her as a bridesmaid in another wedding. She is incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and clearly dedicated to her craft. From the booking process to the trial and wedding day, my experience with her was phenomenal.

    She was always responsive and even went above and beyond to help find a second stylist when our wedding morning timeline became too tight for one person. My hair is very fine and smooth, yet my style held up beautifully throughout the entire day. I highly recommend scheduling a trial if possible—we were able to make a few adjustments that exceeded my expectations on the wedding day. McKenzie is the only person who has ever styled my hair and had it stay in place for such an extended period of time….If I ever need my hair styled again, McKenzie will absolutely be my first call!
