Testimonials
"Hiring Hanna and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding day! We hired Hanna Marie Events as the Day Of Coordinator for our wedding and added on her content creation service as well. I can’t say enough good things about both services offered! First, even though we waited towards the end of our planning, and booked just the day of coordination package, Hanna provided so many great resources for the remainder of our planning process. In the months leading up to the wedding, we met with both Hanna and Brooke (one of her lead coordinators), together, multiple times to discuss details, decor, timelines etc. Hanna provided us with a handful of forms to complete to ensure her team had all the details for the day and to make sure expectations were aligned on both sides. I really appreciated the high attention to detail and the follow up communication is exactly what I needed to keep on track leading up to the big day. On the day, I knew from our meetings that everything was taken care of; there is not price I could put on the peace of mind the team gave me that day! All our decor was set exactly as we planned, they executed the transition from ceremony to reception flawlessly and also handled tear down and packing cars at the end of the day. Most importantly, they kept the entire timeline of the day moving smoothly. It was so nice to just be able to enjoy our day. Our main goal in hiring a day of coordination team was to make sure our family and bridal party did not have to lift a finger, so they could completely enjoy the day too, and that is exactly what we got! On the content creation side, Hanna was with us the entire day, capturing everything from the most important moments like first-looks and vows, to behind the scenes of taking pictures and getting ready and then everything in between. The videos themselves are priceless and we will cherish them forever.
Hanna was the incredibly professional but also fun as she offered ideas for extra video content and got the bridal party laughing. She was discreet when needed and very cognizant of our photographer’s angles as he worked to capture the day too. Finally, the speed of delivery for the videos, edits and recap video is unmatched! I had all 46GB (!!!!) of content to me the next morning, and roughly 10 edited clips and a full recap video less than 48 hours later! Overall, working with Hanna and her team was a dream come true and I highly recommend her and her team to any couple looking for day of coordination or content creation for their wedding day."-Dani + Ryan

"We loved having Hanna be a part of our wedding! I have heard so many stories on how fast the day goes by, and I wanted to capture and save as many memories in a way that didn't feel too intrusive on the special time between my husband and I. Hanna worked so well with our photographer and videographer as a content creator, and got all the little behind-the-scene moments for us to look back on. One of my favorite parts she captured was my husband opening his wedding gift and his sweet reaction to it. She was able to show me soon after in the bridal suite while I was getting ready and it made everyone tear up a bit and get even more excited for the rest of the day! Hanna was so quick at get us all the photos and videos, we were able to relive our favorite memories the next day with our family without having to wait the weeks it can sometimes take to get fully edited photos and videography. Such a great bonus right after the big day! She also did a great job combining the clips into short videos that could be shared on Instagram or TikTok that weekend-- they were perfect to show off to anyone who asked about our wedding :)" -Lindsey + Ty
"When I started to plan my wedding, I knew I wanted to hire a day of coordinator regardless of whether my venue would require one - I wanted to hand off my planning and vision to someone else on my wedding day and let them execute every detail. Hanna did exactly that and SO. MUCH. MORE. From the to-do lists she sent throughout our engagement to keep us on track, to answering questions well before she took over vendor communications, she felt less like a coordinator and more like a co-planner. Come our wedding day, I knew everything was in great hands and she made sure I stopped worrying about the details (I tried to micromanage once and she rightly told me to knock it off and go back to enjoying myself ha!). Hanna also took so many behind the scenes photos and videos that I wasn't expecting and they have been such a treasure to look at with my husband!!!! and friends while we wait for our professional photos. If there was one vendor that made planning my wedding easier, it was Hanna. She's thoughtful, passionate, fun, and dedicated to making your dream day become a reality. She's not just a wedding vendor, she's now a friend." -Kali + Joe
"If I could, I would give Hanna more than 5 stars! I highly recommend booking Hanna Marie Events for your wedding! I booked Hanna for her day of coordination and it was worth every penny. Leading up to our wedding, Hanna was extremely organized and her communication was above and beyond. She was so helpful in answering my questions, and her to-do lists were incredibly detailed and helpful during the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Hanna and her team set up our decor, and they truly brought our vision to life! I am so thankful for Hanna and her team - they made our day perfect and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On a side note, Hanna is the type of person who I am so happy to support through her business(es)! She is a wonderful person, and you can tell how kind and caring she is. She took the time to get to know us, and I have a feeling she does this for all of her couples. I can’t recommend Hanna and her team enough! If you’re in need of a wedding coordinator or planner, look no further. Hanna Marie Events is one of the best wedding vendors out there!" -Emalee + Zak
"I don't think there are enough words for me to describe our gratitude for Hanna – not only for making our day seamless, but also for her assistance throughout the planning process. From day one Hanna was there for us every step of the way with her expertise and support, as well as providing amazing and helpful budget and guest trackers among other helpful tools in her portal for an organized/planner person myself. Hanna was always professional, down-to-earth, kind, and supportive while planning and she truly eased so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. As if we didn't already get our money's worth, Hanna went above and beyond when it came to our actual wedding day. Her presence alone helped to calm my nerves but she also made sure there were no hiccups (at least none that I was aware of which is what counts!) She took care of communicating with all the vendors and was truly a rockstar throughout the whole day. Additionally, though we didn't hire Hanna for content creation, she still provided us with hundreds of behind-the-scenes videos and photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. She captured so many special moments that otherwise would've been just memories, and we are so grateful. There's so much more I could talk about to sing Hanna's praises, but one last thing I'll mention are her sweet and thoughtful gifts and cards that she sends to her clients (even on my birthday, totally un-wedding related). This truly was the icing on the cake and is yet another display of Hanna's caring and thoughtful spirit. Long story short, if you are even considering a planner, day of coordinator, content creator, etc. I cannot recommend Hanna enough. I'm 100% confident that our wedding and planning process wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without her, and I whole heartedly believe she's the BEST option around for these services. Thank you Hanna!!" -Morgan+ Coltan
