What It's Like to Work With Us
“Hannah was so amazing and helpful during my bridal shower and wedding! It was so nice not to feel the need to articulate every specific detail because I fully trusted her judgement and knew that she had me and my event in mind with every decision she made. I would absolutely hire Modern Elm Events for any future events! Being able to enjoy the major events in your life, and not be overwhelmed by the planning and execution of it all, is such a blessing and Hannah made that possible for me!”
“It was a really hot, steamy day and every time we turned around, you were there to offer us cold drinks and a helping hand. You took great care of the client AND great care of us. We couldn’t be more thankful and are crossing our fingers we get to work with you again!”
“Hannah and Modern Elm are awesome and who you want to hire for events. She’s a good pro and she’s a good person. You can trust her when it has to work.
She was super detailed, great with vendors (she had people driving in from multiple states because they had the best features and value - she WORKED to get us what we needed at a good price), she’s truly gifted and amazing with thinking through needed materials and adding those little touches and she is great with family members and juggling priorities. She came up with a plan that was easy to review and change. Fully spreadsheets, little maps of how it all worked, a checklist of what I needed to look over and do - so good.
Modern Elm is officially our go to for event planning. We are grateful to have had such a great partner and teammate in our corner.”
“If you’re looking for an exceptional event planner, I highly recommend Modern Elm Events. Hannah brings a level of creativity, organization, and attention to detail that is truly unmatched.
What makes her stand out is that she doesn’t just focus on creating beautiful events- she focuses on creating memorable experiences. Every detail is thoughtfully planned with the guest experience in mind, ensuring that people leave feeling connected, inspired, and talking about the event long after it’s over.
Whether you’re planning a corporate event, networking event, fundraiser, celebration, or special occasion, Hannah thinks of everything. Her calm demeanor, professionalism, and detail-oriented approach make the entire event planning process seamless and stress-free.”
More Than What You Can See
Photos only tell part of the story. We believe the most meaningful parts of an event can't always be photographed.
We want guests at your event to feel welcomed, connected, celebrated, and cared for. We want hosts to feel confident, present, and able to fully enjoy the occasion they've worked so hard to create. Long after the décor is packed away and the photos are shared, those feelings are what remain.
Of course, we believe events should look refined, professional, and thoughtfully designed. But our focus extends beyond what's seen in a gallery and on social media. We care just as much about the experience of attending an event as we do about how it appears in a gallery.
Every decision we make from logistics and flow to guest experience and atmosphere is guided by how it will make people feel.
