That’s me! I’m Lily and I have a passion for planning parties of all kinds, especially weddings. I am the Lead Planner and founder of HappiLily Events.

When you work with me, you’ll save your sanity (+time, +budget) knowing you’re guided by a certified wedding planner — and a fun one, at that! Together we’ll cross each & every planning task off the list, and I’ll be by your side on wedding day to manage the chaos and sprinkle in some humor. We’re going to have a FREAKIN’ blast.

More about me and the HappiLily story

  • “It is difficult for me to imagine how I possibly could have pulled off my wedding without Lily. She is experienced, professional, kind, helpful, and fun – and we would have been lost without her."

    Ashley & Michael

    Wedding Management | St. Olaf College

  • "Using Lily as our wedding coordinator was easily the best decision we made for our big day. From the planning process through the end of our event, Lily and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. "

  • "When you say you deliver that ‘best friend experience’ you are dead on with that... It felt like we had someone who understood our goals and dreams of what the wedding should be, like we had been talking to you about it since before we got engaged."

  • "There are no words my wife and I have to explain how valuable and appreciated Lily is. From our first meeting to the end of our wedding night, Lily advocated for us, took the brunt of our headaches and stresses, listened to us, and encouraged us. If you and your significant other are looking for a team member for your special day, look no further than HappiLily Events."

  • "Your wedding day is going to be a little stressful no matter what, but don’t make it harder on yourself. Lily was essential to making my wedding day perfect, I really do mean it when I say it couldn’t be done without her. "

    Stephanie & Christian

    Partial Planning | Ivory North

  • "Without Lily, one of the following options would have occurred: 1) my wedding event would have been a dumpster fire, 2) I would have lost my hair from the stress of planning solo, 3) my marriage would have been ruined even before it started. I only did partial planning, but I honestly wish I would have done full planning from the start!"

  • "The resources and support Lily provides are bar none. I felt like Lily really cared about us not only as her clients, but as people and as a couple. She spent the time really getting to know us, and what we wanted, which left me free to fully enjoy my wedding day. I continue to tell everyone how much pressure and stress HappiLily Events took away from planning our wedding day, and I cannot sing her praises more."
