Episode 7 - Designing Memories that Last a Lifetime with Hannah of Hannah Elizabeth Events

In this episode, we have a great chat with Hannah of Hannah Elizabeth Events.  Hannah walks us through what it’s like to be a wedding planner, what types of planning services she offers, how to find the right planner for you, and tells us more about adventure sessions!  We also ask her about five photos we found on her Instagram in a rapid-fire game.

Hannah is available for planning destination weddings and elopements as well as planning adventure sessions, two things she loves spending her time on. In her own words, “Hiring a planner takes so much of the stress off of all of these monumental moments in your life and having someone that is trained and has years of experience be able to come alongside you and help execute your beautiful vision is what my job is all about. Taking the stress and pressure off of friends and family members who would ultimately have to step into that role with no idea what it entails is quite a burden so that’s what I’m here for.”

Hannah is currently booking 2023 events.
