Hi I’m Andrea

I’m a hoot and a holler and I wanna bring your party to the next level. I want to create parties & events that show your personality and not the trends of what’s in the magazines.

I want your guests to see your party as who YOU ARE. If you are obsessed with Star Trek, let’s do a Star Trek Themed Wedding! If you are having a birthday and love Dolly Parton- you bet your 9 to 5 sweet cheeks, we will have a good ol’ time.

 

if You wanna know how I became an Event Planner

 

Growing up, I liked to plan large, highly detailed and themed birthday parties. I was that ten-year-old who had to have everything planned to the nitty gritty (sorry Mom and Dad). I had to work out everything, from what people should wear to what games we would play! 

In high school, I organized fundraisers and dances every year. Once, I planned a Wizard of OZ prom and had teachers dress up as the characters. Imagine your history teacher in a full suit as the Cowardly Lion! 

Right before I went to college, my sister asked me to be her co-maid of honor. I was so thrilled to be given the opportunity to not only stand by her on her wedding day, but also plan her bridal shower! We had games that made people laugh, such as “pin the tooth on the groom”, a bartender with a signature drink, and the music was on point. My sister and the ladies all had a wonderful time. We still talk about it! 

I went to various colleges and at each one I joined the events-planning teams. During midterms, I put together stress-reliever events for students, sometimes with 500 students attending, as well as small game nights with twenty students. 

Once I graduated I got into social work. I loved helping people, but I MISSED planning events. So, I went ahead and asked my engaged friends, “Hey, can I plan your wedding?” All of them said “Uh, duh! Yes!” Now, I’m planning events and have never been happier!

Kind words

  • Andie is one of the kindest humans I have ever met - and a lifesaver. As our wedding planner (which was only an elopement and a small reception) she made our lives so much easier! I will never forget the pouring rain on our wedding day, and Andie with her umbrella directing everything (and even putting flowers up). I will always remember the core memory of walking into my reception and my jaw dropped and the magic she helped create. I wish she could plan my every day life. She’s the BEST!!!

  • Andrea is, and I can't stress this enough, *exceptional at what she does! After stressing about our own wedding planning, we reached out for some day-of coordinating help and we knew Andrea was going to take care of us within 10 minutes of meeting her. She's kind, detail oriented, organized and generous with her time and effort. We truly felt the weight of our wedding day details come off us, and it allowed us to enjoy our big day. We were among her very first clients, but we wouldn't have known that if she didn't tell us! We were so close in those final weeks up to the wedding that we realized we didn't just have a coordinator, we made a friend. We missed her when it was all done! Hah! In short - House of Lilly Events was the MVP of our wedding. Couldn't recommend her more.

  • Andrea was a gift to our wedding process. After every meeting I felt like I could breathe calmer knowing we had her support and work ethic on our wedding. She did such a heavy lift by taking on the communication with our vendors and adapting to each preferred communication style. She was easily adaptable to what each team needed to do their best work. On the wedding day itself many family members and my bridesmaids came up to me and complimented her work and expressed how nice it was to have her there. I was so glad that we booked her and even felt a pang of sadness the wedding was over and that meant our time working together would be over. She really felt like a friend in this process! Do yourself a favor and book House of Lilly events.

  • Andrea was an absolute joy to work with! We were originally planning on eloping & probably would have moved forward with it if it wasn’t for the consistency & structure Andrea provided for us. So professional & organized, down to every little detail. She handled almost every single vendor detail/conversation & day of coordination that you just don’t realize you need before the wedding day. There wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t thought out before the wedding day that she didn’t prepare for. We got to spend our wedding day smelling the roses & she had everything completely handled. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone planning any event!!

  • She helped me plan my mini wedding in less than a month and pulled it off perfectly. My whole thing was that I didn't want to make any choices, have any stress, or become overwhelmed since I'm currently in school and working full time. Andrea handles every tiny detail with little to no help from me haha and I trusted her completely, still do! You would be lucky to have her plan your wedding.

    -Becca & Spencer

  • Andrea helped plan my wedding and really brought my vision to life with unique and fun details. She cared about creating special moments throughout the day, like making sure my husband and I had a few minutes together right after the ceremony. She's organized, easy to get along with, and so fun! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding or event planner.
