Magnolia & Lace Weddings is the heart and vision of Dawn Hendrix, a dedicated wedding professional with a passion for celebrating love in all its beautiful forms. Originally from Savannah, Georgia, Dawn has called the Chattanooga area home since 2006. She holds a Master’s Degree in Family Ministry, giving her a deep foundation in faith and a special connection to the beauty of traditional Christian ceremonies.
Over the past 15 years, Dawn’s journey has expanded her understanding of love and commitment, leading her to embrace and honor every couple’s unique story—especially where barriers have been placed by some within her faith tradition.
At Magnolia & Lace, inclusivity is at the core of everything we do. We proudly celebrate all couples and do not discriminate based on age, race, past experiences, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other differences that divide rather than unite.
If you’re legally allowed to marry, Dawn would be honored to be part of your special day!

Your Wedding, Your Way
Whether you envision a classic church wedding, a romantic elopement, or an intimate celebration at one of Chattanooga’s stunning venues, Magnolia & Lace Weddings is here to bring your dream ceremony to life.
From handfasting rituals to a traditional unity candle or a heartfelt sand ceremony, we’ll work with you to personalize every detail, ensuring your wedding reflects your unique love story and values.
Unconventional? Absolutely!
Dawn Hendrix began her life as a shy middle child with a flair for the dramatic, but thanks to years in theater arts, that shyness has long since melted away.
So, if you’re wondering whether she can bring your unique wedding vision to life—no matter how extraordinary—rest assured, she can! Dawn has officiated ceremonies in everything from Mickey Mouse ears to elegant formal gowns (though not at the same time) and has even officiated weddings where one partner was incarcerated.
Whatever your dream may be, Magnolia & Lace Weddings is here to make it unforgettable.
