Thanks for stopping by!
Here’s a bit about how we got started…
Where did the name come from?
El Events (pronounced like the letter "L") is inspired by the Quinn family’s appreciation for generational names. I was named Eleanor Lillian Quinn at birth, but I've always been called Lily. When I got married, I decided to change my legal first name to reflect the name I’ve always used. My initials “E.L.” honor my late grandfather's name. E.L. —just initials, no full name. To honor him, as well as my great aunt Ellie and my great aunt and great-grandmother Lillian, I chose to use those initials as the name of my business.
Wedding Planning
After two years of refining our coordination process, El Events proudly expanded to offer both partial and full wedding planning services. Our mission at El Events is to ensure flawless organization while always advocating for the couple. Collaborating with local vendors, networking, and building relationships are the most rewarding aspects of our planning process. These services enable us to guide couples through every step of their wedding journey, ensuring a stress-free and unforgettable experience.
Month-of Coordination
El Events originated from an accidentally found passion in November 2019. Since then, owner and head planner Lily Quinn-Hendrick began booking weddings by word of mouth or from friends and friends of friends. In 2021, El Events was officially launched to provide a stress-free wedding experience for couples on their special day by taking the reigns, being the point of contact for guests and vendors, and advocating for the couple.
