Will a Wedding Planner Take Over Your Wedding Day?

"I have no control over my wedding day if I hire a wedding planner."

Your wedding planner will:

  • Listen to your thoughts, feelings, and ideas.

  • Help you organize those thoughts and ideas into an action plan.

  • Work with you to refine your creative vision into something that is attainable within your budget.

  • Keep your wedding day running smoothly AND according to YOUR plan.

At HappiLily Events, that is EXACTLY how we roll. Whatever your vision is, we are here to help you articulate that and bring it to life. Your wedding planner is your trusted resource and support system — we are advocating for YOU. We will help guide the planning process and advise on your budget, vision, and vendor decisions, but we are not taking control or dictating any of your choices.


You should never feel "out of control" throughout the wedding planning process or on your wedding day.

Instead, you should feel reassured that HappiLily Events has your back and we have the details perfectly organized — all so you can have a carefree wedding day!
