What is The Professional Bridesmaid about?

Maggie Bailey (Hunter King) is a professional bridesmaid. Yes, you read that right! She turned being a bridesmaid into a business. Going pro was all thanks to her special set of skills. Now, she uses those skills to help brides navigate wedding planning. From the social-emotional dynamics to keeping things practical, Maggie’s got it under control.

Her latest client is Alexis Shepard, the daughter of Columbus’ mayor who is up for re-election. Alexis’ wedding will be the event of the summer, so the mayor’s team hires Maggie to keep everything on track. But, no one can know that she’s a hired bridesmaid, so Maggie is now Maisie, Alexis’ old friend.

Meanwhile, ambitious reporter Henry Whittington (Chandler Massey) is hoping to get close to the mayor for a scoop on pending parkland development. While Maggie’s busy with bridesmaids, she tries to keep Henry focused on the wedding. Doing all this while hiding her identity is tricky, especially when she starts to grow closer to him.
