Authenticity is SO important to us. We’re all about encouraging you to be exactly who you are!

Each couple’s vision and priorities are unique, and we celebrate that. We want your wedding to be a reflection of what is important to YOU; copying trends on Pinterest or following tradition just for the sake of it doesn’t fly here! 

Whatever your love story is and whether you love or hate traditions, we’re going to help you have the best, most so-you wedding day!  

We call it “best-friend-level support” for a reason – because we show up for our couples like we’d show up for a friend.

To ensure each couple gets our all, we choose to take on only a select number of weddings each year and our Lead Planners dedicate themselves to ONE event per weekend.

With frequent check-ins, phase-based meetings, and our commitment to genuinely getting to know you & your partner, we will provide you with the one-on-one attention you deserve when planning such a special event.

You are our priority, and we’ll make sure you know it.

At HappiLily Events, we are passionate about celebrating and supporting all couples and party people. We are proud to be inclusive and affirming partners for the LGBTQ+ community and anyone planning a non-binary celebration.

“Love is love” isn’t just a phrase to us; our commitment to inclusivity extends to creating a safe and welcoming space for couples of all orientations and identities. We will always treat you, your guests, and your vendor team with respect, and we won’t work with anyone (couples, venues, or vendors) who doesn’t share the same mindset — we collaborate exclusively with those who embrace the values of love, authenticity, and equality.

Working with HappiLily Events is a partnership and our process is collaborative.

When you work with us, we will always respect your vision, budget decisions, opinions, priorities, design choices, and vendor selections. In return, we ask that you trust in our process and our recommendations.

We are your tell-it-like-it-is partner in planning — we want you to have the BEST day, which is why we will always provide you with honest and to-the-point advice. As your advocate, sounding board, and professional voice of reason, we always have your best interest in mind.

We’re ready to hear all of your ideas and questions, and can’t wait to work alongside you to bring your wedding day to life!

We believe your wedding planning experience should be stress-free, exciting, and fun. In theory, you only do this once!

We have intentionally structured our planning process into phases that prevent the overwhelm and have breaks built in, to ensure you can enjoy your engagement. We are also selective in working with couples we vibe with most — we want to be just as excited about your wedding as you are!

With a more personal planning process, your wedding day will better reflect the two of you, you will feel more comfortable working alongside your planner, and you will enjoy the full experience from planning to wedding day!

Owner and Lead Planner Lily Hansen is a Master Certified Wedding Planner. This means she is professionally trained to manage your wedding planning process and lead the way on wedding day! Not all wedding planners can claim the MCWP credential, or even that they have completed any professional training at all.

Part of our commitment to you is to always give our couples the best (...guidance and advice, planning tools, encouragement, day of support, all of it!). To do so, we continually invest in new training opportunities for our team so we can keep refining our process and improving the tools we use.
