Weddings by Hannah

the entire process stress free and I got to truly ENJOY our weekend front start to finish. I can’t recommend Hannah enough: HIRE HER.

er team would make sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted. We have already recommended her and her team to friends and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a full service planner.

lan out a wedding is like watching an All Star/Hall of Fame athlete in their prime play the game of their life. It was simply amazing watching Hannah work. We never once felt worried or frustrated, when something came up or a change needed to be made Hannah was there with simple and easy second options. Hannah also does a weekly update with you as you are getting close to your wedding date and I can say that I honestly miss these meetings with Hannah since they made my life be more at ease. It is simple, if you are getting married in the KC Area and not using Hannah and her team, you are making a mistake, Hands Down they are the best!

or team, brought our vision to life and executed flawlessly above and beyond her role and responsibilities. She was extremely professional, efficient, and attentive (She treated me and my husband like our wedding was the only one she was planning). From keeping us on track with the big decisions to being interested and thoughtful with the small decisions, she was there for it all. And, one of the best parts, she was a joy to be around and so easy to get along with. Whether you are local to KC or looking for a destination wedding, Hannah is your girl. She can and will give you the wedding of your dreams...and you will have fun planning it!

and I have never planned a wedding or been involved in planning a wedding, so I needed some help. She has so many connections within the Kansas City area, and she knows who the best vendors are. Truly worth every penny. She really listens to you and the vision you want and really executes that vision. My mom and I needed a lot of hand-holding to plan this wedding, and she really helped me through this. She is super happy to communicate with you and to the vendors and is always there when you need her. I had a last-minute cancellation with my hair person, and the situation was resolved within 24 hours. She brought a couple of assistants to help her out, and they took care of everything the day of. If there was an issue on the day of, I had no idea. Hannah is the nicest, sweetest person to have to plan your wedding. I will refer absolutely everyone planning a wedding to her because she truly made my wedding the best wedding ever. I cannot thank her enough.

meticulously organized, allowing us to enjoy the day with no stress whatsoever. Hannah is hugely responsible for helping us give our daughter the wedding she always dreamed of, we simply could not have done this without her help. I will be recommending her to any and all who are looking for a wedding planner. We wouldn't have changed one single thing about the day. Thank you, Hannah, so much!

ra mile to make sure that your wedding is everything you could dream of. On our wedding day, she was amazing and made sure that everything went according to plan! The wedding turned out beautiful and we received so many compliments on how enjoyable and fun our wedding was. I couldn’t recommend her enough!! She is so sweet and truly the best there is!

ith us in October 2018 for our June 2020 wedding. We hired her for full planning of the wedding/day of planning (her full planning package). Of course, with COVID/mandates, we had to postpone and ultimately got to celebrate in September 2021. Hannah had been by our side literally through thick and thin for THREE YEARS, and we wouldn't have been able to get through everything or have our wedding (finally) in September 2021 without her constant support, patience, love and assistance. With all that we had been through together through the years, Hannah truly became our friend through the process - she hung on with us through 2 postponements, us moving to a different city for training and through her having TWO kids in the time that we knew her...soooo crazy how the time flew. I was a nervous bride to say the least and needed a lot of encouragement and support especially with all of the uncertainty with this pandemic. Whenever my husband and I had even a slight thought or worry about postponing or any other issue, Hannah was able to hop onto a phone call with us within 24 hours to discuss our worries or questions, and she always made us feel secure and supported through the process. When we did decide to postpone (twice), she did it so seamlessly and made it so easy for us. She reached out to all vendors that we had previously booked and found a common date that they were all available, gave us a few dates to choose from (in the months that worked best for us) and once we picked the new date, she did everything else - like literally EVERYTHING. I always had so many questions and she was always our go-to gal for any communications with vendors too. She even set up meetings with us before the vendor meetings to help us figure out what exactly we wanted prior to meeting with our vendors (my preference, not required), so that the time with the vendors was organized and well-spent. In addition to the great communication, she was also always a quick e-mail away. Like I have never met someone who is so good at managing and replying to our emails/texts/calls. In addition, her focus on detail was second to none. For example, I wanted a special first dance and also had specific family requests (with divorced parents, stepmom, grandparents, etc.) that we needed to accommodate and certain other details unique to us, and she made them all happen. If you're not able to get the full planning package, would ABSOLUTELY recommend that you have her for the month of/day-of planning at the very least. I didn't have a worry in the world on our wedding day - I just had to show up and Hannah handled the rest, and we are so grateful for that. All in all, Hannah was absolutely fantastic and gave us our perfect wedding day after three years of planning... and now my sister is using her for her wedding in 2023 too!! I am still and always will be in awe of how amazing the wedding day was. Definitely the happiest day of my life, and it wouldn't have been like that without Hannah. We appreciate you SO much :)

rom most planning experiences seeing as we did this for 21 months through a pandemic, through lots of Zoom calls, she still made every last detail work. Our day was literally the most PERFECT day. I'm a control freak, so letting someone else take the reins can be difficult. But with Hannah, it was easy. She understood my vision from day 1 & was easy to give my trust to, to make sure things ended up how I had envisioned. They tell you your wedding weekend goes by fast, and it literally goes by in the blink of an eye. I didn't even have to think on wedding day, because Hannah & her team had everything covered. My family & I will forever be grateful because we had the whole weekend to just enjoy ourselves. Our sole complaint was that it went by too quickly! She absolutely knocked it out of the park & we will be recommending her to any future brides! Thank you Hannah & team, for seriously the best weekend of our lives so far. It was perfect in every way :)

you just want to hand the reigns to someone who KNOWS what they are doing, Hannah is the right choice. She will take your ideas or your Pinterest board and make it come completely to life in a very organized fashion. HIRE HER!

al project managers!) Hannah did a great job of facilitating us through the planning process and found a way to deliver even our craziest ideas. Our wedding was COVID delayed and Hannah flawlessly moved our event will all our vendors from one date to another. She gave us such confidence that we didn't stress a single thing on Wedding Eve and Wedding Day. We were truly able to just settle in and enjoy the day knowing that all the little details would truly 'just happen'. That was such a tremendous blessing! I can't recommend Hannah highly enough. Whether your event is large or small, it will be perfect with Hannah by your side.

of everything and more. She is extremely responsive and always punctual. You can expect regular communication and weekly meetings leading up to the big day. Her experience in the industry and relationships with vendors makes her input invaluable. She helped us navigate wedding planning during a pandemic, including rescheduling our wedding, and was always on top of changes in local restrictions and gave excellent advice on how to plan for the unexpected. When issues arise, as they naturally do during wedding planning, she was a great sounding board and we felt like we were talking to a friend and could count on her advice. We had a complicated wedding weekend with multiple ceremonies and events and Hannah planned everything seamlessly. There are so many small things that Hannah and her team manage that make a big difference - like picking up and delivering welcome gift bags, gathering items that have been left behind after an event, bringing drinks and snacks on shuttles and reminding us to bring our marriage license the day of the wedding! Thanks to Hannah, our wedding was beautiful, fun and stress-free!

he is so organized and oh so kind. If we have daughters some day, I pray Hannah is still working because she WILL be planning their wedding!

ind and patient person who along with all that is very punctual, professional and always executes her tasks in a timely manner. She has an amazing ability to take your vision and enhance it without ever being pushy. She works with great vendors who, with Hannah leading the team, can make every idea and dream you have for your wedding come true. By choosing Hannah you can’t go wrong.! Your special day will be stress free and everything you ever dreamed of, and then some!

ng with Weddings by Hannah. However, if we knew what we knew now, there would have been no hesitation. Lauren was with us every step of the way, and kept us focused, and organized. She was the calm during the COVID storm that we obviously didn't expect. All the details from arrival times of vendors, to ordering pens for our wedding book were covered. She didn't overwhelm us, but kept us focused. She also had great suggestions on some of the final touches that were stooping us as we got wedding planning fatigue. We can never thank Lauren enough for everything she did, and we feel like we gained a friend for life in Lauren as well.

we would use a planner, but both agree it was the best money we put towards the wedding. Throughout all of the complications COVID brought to the planning process, we could always count on Lauren to guide us through it. Our wedding day would have been so stressful without her there, but thankfully it went perfectly and we couldn't have done it without her!

isma, and character are unmatched.

her! She was patient, understanding and attentive with each and every single one of our requests. She was readily available any time of day - and counseled us more times than we can count! We were thrown a curveball with COVID-19 and Hannah remained calm, collected and was our expert with all of our questions, worries and concerns. Hannah was the single pillar in planning our special day and brought every single dream to a reality. Hannah was the best thing to happen to us since getting engaged and we were so thankful for the opportunity to work with her! The best part about Hannah is that we've made a lifelong friend. We know she will always be there to support us, encourage us and lift us up. Our lives and wedding day (and reception to come at a later date) would not be the same without Hannah. We love her so very much!

the idea and ran with it. Her creative juices flowed, and transformed our yard into a most beautiful setting. She also was so organized, and kept everything running so smoothly. Perfection!

ially started my wedding coordinator search, I made 4-5 meeting appointments with different coordinators around KC. Lauren was my first meeting and I immediately booked her after our initial consult and cancelled all of the other meetings. Best decision I ever made. She was very responsive to my million questions throughout the early planning process and when we met in person 3 months out, she made sure we didn't leave a stone unturned. Our wedding day went off without a hitch! Honestly - nothing went wrong and I think I can credit Lauren for that. The reason we hired a coordinator from the beginning was so that my mom and I could just enjoy the wedding day and not be stressed out with details or people asking us a million questions. I think the only question I got asked that day was "Do you take this man to be your husband?"! Would 100% recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a wonderful coordinator!

cess. Her positive attitude and endless patience made this journey stress free for my daughter and myself. Coordinating a wedding with the bride residing in another state is a different experience. Hannah's willingness to adjust her schedule to meet ours was such a gift. Not only did she get us to the day....she got us through the day. She handled all the details and all the little things that come up the day of. I can say that we will truly miss Hannah now that the wedding is complete...she has been a part of our lives for a year!

invaluable in our wedding planning process. She answered all of our questions promptly and professionally, gave us great vendor recommendations, communicated with all of our vendors and kept our whole day running perfectly. Lauren did an outstanding job and I have and will continue to recommend her, and Weddings By Hannah, to any prospective bride!

riend! Everything was so perfect down to every little detail. Most beautiful wedding and perfect day! She makes every meeting exciting and productive. If you want the best, Hannah is definitely the one! Truly enjoyed the engagement to wedding experience from beginning to end! XX

wedding within our family using Hannah as our wedding planner and she not only went above and beyond anything we expected, but she was incredibly knowledgeable about all Kansas City vendors. Hannah answered every email, phone call, and text immediately and was always there to guide us through our wedding planning journey. She took a stressful process and turned it into a fun and exciting one and I could not recommend Hannah and her team more. On the actual wedding day, we were able to enjoy every moment while Hannah took care of all the potential stresses and details that could potentially deter us from enjoying our day. Not only did we love Hannah, but our families and friends all grew to love her as well.

o did a wonderful job of keeping us organized, budgeted, and calm throughout the whole process. Within 12 months of planning, Hannah went from being a stranger to being one of our good friends! She’s an absolute blast to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional wedding planner.

ng in Kansas City, which may sound daunting, but with Hannah being so on top of EVERYTHING and being so communicative we were never stressed. People would ask us often, "isn't planning a wedding hard?" and they were always shocked by our response, "uh, no, actually," because Hannah handled it. On the day of Hannah was calm and collected, everything ran seamlessly. She was a great energy to have around on the big day. We were blown away by the whole thing when we first laid eyes on the ceremony set up and reception venue. It felt like a dream. Most importantly to us, when we were searching for a planner in Kansas City, was if they were willing to work with us, a lesbian couple. Hannah is an ally to LGBT people and treated us with so much respect. We feel lucky to now call her our friend. Can't recommend Hannah highly enough!!

fessionalism, good taste and has always been a pleasure to work with. She puts your mind at ease!

married in Kansas City. This distance didn’t present any challenges for Hannah. She held FaceTime/conference calls with them to discuss all the details. We visited vendors when they came to town and enjoyed spending our taste testing days with Hannah. She’s delightful and amazingly thorough. The wedding day ran so smoothly and every special detail was absolutely perfect! With Hannah in charge, I was able to relax and enjoy myself and truly not worry about a single detail. Throughout the entire planning process plus the day of, Hannah was pleasant, calm, professional and caring every moment. So many of our friends and family have told us it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. We have 2 more daughters and we will be choosing Weddings by Hannah to create their special day too!

ide, ..." tips on Instagram - their aren't any truer words! Their professional yet fun approach will result in your wedding being classic and timeless, yet unique. Allow them to work their magic on your vision of the perfect day and it will be even better than you imagined. I highly recommend hiring Hannah and Lauren to plan your wedding! McCall Bodenhamer past bride & KC venue manager

able anytime she was needed and took so much stress of the planning process.

te school and live in MA, and Hannah made the process stress-less. She presented us with wonderful vendors, set up meetings and phone calls, answered our MANY emails and questions in a prompt manner, and dealt with all of our chaos beautifully. The week before the wedding Hannah ran errands for my family and I, making it significantly less stressful on us! The wedding day was just perfection - again, all thanks to Hannah. She coordinated every single detail, dealt beautifully with unpredictable 'drama' on the day of, and made the wedding day the very best day of my life. I would highly, highly recommend Hannah to future brides. She is smart, fun, has wonderful style, creative, consistent, reliable, and well-seasoned in wedding planning and vendor choices. She is well-connected and highly-revered in the industry, making working with vendors even easier. Hannah is just the best.

wedding was in Kansas City. Hannah made us feel like we were all in the same city planning an intimate get-together. She made EVERYTHING easy...even though I'm sure sometimes we were NOT easy. No small detail was left out. We had several wonderful vendors to choose from...not so many we were overwhelmed, but enough to feel like we had a variety of options. She was quick to respond to any and all of our questions and worries. She inherently knew when to let us be creative and how to help us when we were unsure. She has impeccable taste & an artist's eye. The day of the wedding, Hannah and her assistant Lauren were absolute perfection. Getting the families to pose for photos was like herding cats, but Hannah did it with ease. Lauren was incredibly helpful with the guys, keeping them on task and on time. And even when we made a "game time" call to switch up the order of the reception festivities, she calmly got everything done while our guests danced until the very last song. Thank you Hannah for EVERYTHING.

etown when I live a 2 hour flight and a time zone away. If Hannah would not have been our wedding planner, I don't think we would have pulled it off. From a planning stand point, she keeps the bride up to date on what needs to be completed each month. This was SO helpful with me not being in Kansas City. When it came to choosing vendors she an impressive relationship with so many wonderful vendors. I only visited Kansas City 3 times during my 9 month engagement and she was able to arrange all of my vendor meetings during this time. On wedding week/wedding day she was cool, calm and collective. Everything went PERFECTLY! Hannah had a timeline down to every detail. This really made my wedding day special. She made everyone feel so at ease, which allowed me, my husband and very importantly my parents, to enjoy EVERY moment we had. I could go on about Hannah, but if you want to have a perfect wedding and the best day of our life you NEED to have her as your planner!!!

portant to me, and she was very organized and detail oriented. We completely trusted her and she didn't let us down! I highly highly recommend her and Weddings by Hannah!

ore great things. I can't imagine how we would have done it all without her. And as FOB, I appreciate her dedication and work keeping everyone happy and informed along the way. Her method of handling the timeline and to-do list was perfect for us. Now I miss not talking to her on a regular basis. Most importantly, she made it fun!

Hannah picked up all the items I shipped to KC and started our set up for the night. Lauren finished setting up and helped us keep the evening running smoothly. The evening was beautiful, had many compliments and the bride and groom loved it. Hannah and Lauren were with us all day of the wedding and it was amazing. Do yourself a huge favor and hire them!

now husband both lived out of state from where the wedding would be taking place (Kansas City-my hometown). After exhausting a list of planners and reading all reviews, we were sold on Hannah--and boy, we are so happy we did! Hannah from the jump was been punctual, organized and wonderfully thorough. We shared visions of what we wanted for the wedding and she took it from there. She set up all of our meetings with the best vendors in Kansas City. Hannah is well known in the area, which makes the process even easier. She has a list of vendors that she knows well . This is advantageous because: 1.) if the vendor is out of price range for your particular budget, she can find another one easy. 2.) If the vendor doesn't fit your particular wedding style, she can suggest one that may work better. 3.) ALL the vendors love her, therefore they will love you! The day of the wedding, I was so relaxed and peaceful. She took care of everything. I did not have to worry about where my overnight bags would go (she had it sent to my hotel for the night). She even arranged for food to be set up and ready for my girls while we were getting dressed! We can't thank her enough--I can go on and on. We would totally hire Hannah again!-- and suggest anyone in the Kansas City area to seriously consider her for your wedding. Without her help, our wedding would not have been as successful and glamorous as it was at Grand Hall. We will miss our weekly chats and emails-- We will remember Hannah forever! Thanks again! Signed, Happy Bride!

p of the way we felt confident that our vision for our big day would come to life. She is intelligent, flexible with meetings, and above all, someone who constantly put us first. We had a wonderful time planning with her and will always remember her as the best wedding planner in Kansas City!

th her years of experience, she truly is the expert in planning weddings. She has wonderful relationships with local KC vendors, and is very respected throughout the industry. I highly recommend Hannah and her team!

anning so much easier and thorough. I felt so confident in her abilities it gave me, mother of the bride, the ability to relax and enjoy the entire weekend.

and her experience makes the process as effortless as possible. She responds quickly to emails and calls, and has good relationships with vendors in the area. I would highly recommend her!

t first that I really needed a wedding planner and am so happy we decided to hire Lauren. She put together to do lists and helped me organize my thoughts and plans. My wedding day was seamless due to her.

lent hands and that we had nothing to worry about when it came to our big day. Hannah was everything you could ever want in a wedding planner – super on top of everything and organized, connected in the wedding world, extremely thoughtful and considerate, a "to do" list kind of gal (which I loved), very professional, always making us feel as stress free as possible (which can be hard when planning a big wedding), and the list just goes on and on. Oh, and did I mention my parents and our entire wedding party just loved her!! Planning a big wedding can be so much work, so much stress, and very time consuming. Thankfully with Hannah and her amazing team and list of recommended vendors, we were in the very best of hands. Our day could not have been more beautiful and we are so grateful to not only call Hannah our rockstar wedding planner, but to get to call her our friend still today. We love you, Hannah – thank you for making our wedding dreams come true!!

nitely worth it. We planned our wedding from LA/Chicago and were only able to travel to KC once prior to the wedding. Lauren was always available to answer questions/give advice and her response time was amazing. A month before our wedding, we decided to do a first look (which was not in our original timeline). Lauren made it happen without a problem and took care of everything. She allowed us to ship all of our items to her so that we wouldn't have to lug it with us on the plane. Lauren is organized, patient, sweet and detail-oriented. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day and it was all thanks to Lauren.
