Ring, ring! Hello?
serving southern wisconsin and northern Illinois
I coordinate weddings with heart, humor, and I always come prepared with a plan B (and C... and maybe even D... I like to be prepared). Oh, and I'll always have a charger in my bag and snacks in the glove compartment.
Hey queen, I'm Hannah! Your new wedding planning bestie and ultimate coordinator.
not here.
Anyone can show up with a clipboard...
A lot of "day of" coordinators?
They'll send you one email a month out, maybe hop on a quick call... then charge you $75/hr if you have more questions.
They box you into support that starts late, ends early, and leaves you doing most of the heavy lifting.
Wedding and event coordination and planning done differently
At Charmate Events, coordination isn't just "day of."
it's taking your situation into consideration with every detail
Your people, your priorities, your dynamic—I’m paying attention to all of it. Whether you’ve got blended families, an anxious partner, or just want things to feel extra intentional, I’ll make sure the plan reflects the vibe you want.
It's weeks of support.
Because the stress doesn’t start on the morning of your wedding—it builds in the final stretch. That’s why I start supporting you early, with planning meetings 30 to 60 days out, timeline prep, and vendor check-ins already underway.
It’s communication you can count on—without a surprise price tag.
I know how overwhelming those final months can be. Questions roll in left and right. I want you to feel secure and supported, so I’m just a text or phone call away—no added fees, no guilt, no waiting days for a reply.
It's full-day coverage with no clock-watching
Whether you’re getting ready at sunrise or tearing it up late night, I’m there the whole time. No cut-off. No awkward hand-offs. Just start-to-finish support that lets you stay in the moment.
Less industry ego, more love.
we love everyone, no matter what
price transparency
fun planning only
Let’s be real: wedding planning can be a lot. But it shouldn’t feel like a second full-time job or a source of dread.
Whether you’re excited about every decision or already over it, my job is to keep things moving, manageable, and fun.
We’re talking Spotify playlists during planning meetings, Target runs for last-minute candles, and a timeline that doesn’t make you want to cry.
We're all about keeping joy in the journey.
The wedding industry can quickly feel like everyone’s grabbing for cash—charging an arm and a leg for every little add-on, or $75 just to answer a question.
While I’ll always stand by experts charging their worth, here there's no “I won’t take out the trash unless you pay me $30” energy. Just clear, upfront pricing you can actually plan around.
Because all those hidden fees? They burn trust. And they keep you from enjoying the day you’ve worked so hard to create.
After years as a teacher, navigating my own dyslexia, supporting my ADHD partner, and celebrating love in all its forms—this business is built on inclusion.
I don’t care who you are, how you learn, who you love, how you came to love them, what you spend, or what you need.
Here, you’re welcomed, celebrated, and cared for in a way that actually works for you.
Hannah
I'm not the girl who "just loved planning my wedding" and made a job out of it.
I never planned on becoming a wedding coordinator.
I actually started as a teacher—wrangling kids, planning full days, keeping things fun, and learning to adapt to everyone’s needs and learning styles. I loved it.
Around that same time, I was also planning my own wedding.
But I’ll be honest—it wasn’t the dreamy, Pinterest-perfect experience I’d hoped for. Planning during COVID meant reschedules, restrictions, and constant pivots. Add in divorced in-laws, dyslexia, a partner with ADHD, and vendors who barely responded to emails? It was a lot.
I joked with my husband that we were never getting divorced—because I never wanted to plan another wedding.
Then, not long after, I miscarried at work. And while I was still actively miscarrying, my boss asked me when I’d be back.
That was my sign: I needed something different.
So I pivoted into corporate training. (Ugh, I know. Boring.) And I missed the creativity almost immediately.
Then I coordinated a wedding for someone else. And I fell in love.
Guests raved. Friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how smooth it felt. I realized: this isn’t just something I’m good at—it’s something I care deeply about.
Now, I get to blend everything I’ve learned—from the classroom to corporate to my own messy-but-meaningful wedding—and give couples the kind of care and coordination I wish I’d had.
I’m here to keep things timely, intentional, and stress-free. (And more than a little fun!)
So whether you’re planning a wedding, brand event, baby shower, or bachelorette bash—you get to be fully present, while I keep the chaos cute.
