-Hanna
Hello hello! I'm Hanna, owner & lead planner of Hanna Marie Events and your Minnesota Wedding Planner! (but also Wisconsin, and anywhere you want me to travel to!)
With an eye for detail and a love for thoughtful design, my passion for planning began long before this became my career. After several years in Human Resources, including serving as a Human Resources Specialist in the Army National Guard, I found myself craving a more meaningful, creative path - one rooted in connection, celebration and purpose. In 2021, Hanna Marie Events was born, and after two and a half years of growing the business alongside an incredible team, I stepped away form my corporate career to pursue HME full-time.
Today, I have the honor of designing and producing weddings that are not only beautifully executed, but deeply personal. I am endlessly grateful to the couples who trust us with their most meaningful moments and to the team who brings each vision to life with care and intention. This work is a dream I never take for granted!
At the heart of my approach is connection. My favorite part of the planning process is truly getting to know each couple & not just the wedding we're creating, but who you are individually and together. Because the most memorable celebrations are the ones that feel authentically you!
we're here to ensure your wedding day is exactly what yOU want

KALI + JOE
When I started to plan my wedding, I knew I wanted to hand off my planning and vision to someone else on my wedding day and let them execute every detail. Hanna did exactly that and SO. MUCH. MORE. From the to-do lists she sent throughout our engagement to keep us on track, to answering questions well before she took over vendor communications, she felt less like a coordinator and more like a co-planner. Come our wedding day, I knew everything was in great hands and she made sure I stopped worrying about the details. She's thoughtful, passionate, fun, and dedicated to making your dream day become a reality. She's not just a wedding vendor, she's now a friend.
"If there was one vendor that made planning my wedding easier, it was Hanna."
KIND WORDS
PAIGE + RYAN
My husband and I worked with Hanna for Day of Coordination for our r wedding. Her bimonthly checklists in the 12 month lead up to our wedding were so helpful to stay on track! Hanna is INCREDIBLY responsive and goes so far above and beyond for her clients--it is truly amazing and so sweet. She cares SO MUCH about the work she does and it shows. Brooke was my lead coordinator on the day and she did a fantastic job! If anything went wrong I had no idea (which is how it should be!). We had a very tight set up time at the venue and Brooke and her team tackled it like champs. If you are looking for a Day of Coordinator, I cannot recommend Hanna and her team highly enough!

KIND WORDS
MORGAN + COLTAN
From day one, Hanna was there for us every step of the way with her expertise and support, as well as providing amazing and helpful budget and guest trackers among other helpful tools in her portal for an organized/planner person myself. Hanna was always professional, down-to-earth, kind, and supportive while planning and she truly eased so much of the stress that comes with wedding planning. Her presence alone helped to calm my nerves but she also made sure there were no hiccups (at least none that I was aware of which is what counts!) She took care of communicating with all the vendors and was truly a rockstar throughout the whole day. I'm 100% confident that our wedding and planning process wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without her, and I whole heartedly believe she's the BEST option around for these services.
"I don't think there are enough words for me to describe our gratitude for Hanna"
