About Walnut + Magnolia Event

Welcome! I’m Candice Richart West, founder of Walnut and Magnolia Events, a Chattanooga-based event planning company specializing in luxury celebrations with a personal touch. My approach combines southern charm, thoughtful design, and flawless coordination to deliver events that feel effortless and look extraordinary—whether it’s a family celebration, an elegant wedding, or a polished corporate event.

With over a decade of experience in event production, I bring hands-on expertise in managing every detail, from large corporate galas and weddings to creative, family-friendly children’s parties. In the last two years, I’ve focused on delivering engaging children’s entertainment—like themed birthday parties, interactive activities, and magical slumber parties—while always maintaining a commitment to sophistication and memorable design.

I pride myself on being detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and fully dedicated to making each event unforgettable. Whether you’re planning a wedding in Chattanooga, a birthday party in Knoxville, or a corporate event in Atlanta, Walnut and Magnolia Events is here to make your vision a reality.
