Reviews of Abbie Cole Hillis Events (Event Planner)

Andrea Heyl

Abbie and her staff were amazing! She coordinated our wedding in May and we seriously couldn't have done it without. The day went flawlessly and it was because of her thorough preparation and communication with me and all the vendors. Love her!

Abbie is one of the sweetest, most organized, professional wedding planners I have had the opportunity to work with. She is such a pleasure and she made my job as a Venue Manager so unbelievably easy. I truly hope that her and I get to work together again in the future. If you're looking for a wedding planner, no need to look any further, Abbie is your gal!

I cannot say enough great things about Abbie in regards to month of/day of wedding coordination. She is a major help all along the way and is always ready to help with any questions, other vendor selections and advice (regardless if it's months in advance). She was so easy to work with and took everything off our plates on the wedding day. She is prompt, organized, so so sweet, and has this down to a science. If you need a day of wedding coordinator, you should look no further than Abbie with ACH Events!!

Absolutely the best of the best.

Abbie is an amazing asset to any wedding day team. As a vendor, we rely on planners to guide us through the day and juggle many hats. Abbie does this with professionalism and ease, creating a smooth flowing day for our clients and vendors. Abbie is detail oriented, efficient, and works hard to pull off an incredible day for everyone involved. Of course, she does it all with a smile! We highly recommend!!

As a venue owner I know first hand how important a planner is to a bride's big day. Abbie is beyond organized, professional and offers a calming voice in the midst of what can become a stressful day. I regularly recommend Abbie as one of our favorite planners. You won't be disappointed in the investment!

I hired Abbie to coordinate my wedding on the day-of. I thought I generally had the planning under control, but just wanted a little extra support the day-of. What I got, however, was a HUGE surprise. I didn’t realize how much Abbie would do, take care of, and manage – all without me having to worry. Any bride who is drawing near to their wedding date knows how absolutely sick you get of making decisions. The last few days leading up to it, I was to the point where I just wanted other people to make decisions about the little things – I was tired of it. Abbie completely understood where I was coming from and took what I envisioned for my wedding and made it 10,000 times better. She seemed to be everywhere at once and thought of things that never would have crossed my mind. I looked around, and things just happened to “magically” be DONE – everything from making sure candles were lit, to gathering up phones/chargers/overnight bags and loading it all in the getaway car so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her organization and communication skills are something to be admired. She has the greatest easy-going personality which made it so easy for me to just relax and enjoy the day. She also deserves a HUGE reward for controlling my husband’s eight (yes EIGHT) groomsmen and getting them to the right places at the right times. It takes the patience of a saint to accomplish something like that with a group of guys who are all jokesters. I could go on for days about all of the things that she did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect but, in a nutshell, hiring Abbie was by far the best decision I made during our wedding planning process. I can’t say enough about how valuable she was to our special day.

The best wedding planner in Austin, maybe Texas. Available as a consultant or full planner. Definitely the person you want to talk to if you are looking to have a quality wedding or event.

Cannot say enough good things about Abbie Cole Hillis. Planning our daughter's Boho style wedding reception at a very "Austin" venue, Gather - Monroe, was so fun but a bit overwhelming and stressful to pull it all together. When all the stars aligned and led me to Abbie everything clicked. She organized us, had exceptional ideas and advice, and paid attention to every detail to make the evening a huge success. She had a personal collection of vases and decor available, sparkler collection, and even had a person on her team who did the most gorgeous and reasonable flower arrangements for the reception. Her knowledge of the venue and vendors in the area was so helpful; we couldn't have done it without Abbie! I would highly recommend her to anyone planning an event or wedding.

Words cannot even begin to express how wonderful Abbie was throughout the entire process!! Even though she is considered a "day of coordinator," she never ceased to help us with numerous aspects of our planning process. From suggesting amazing vendors to helping us create a wedding timeline, she was so helpful, professional, and sweet. I can't imagine my wedding day without her! She took all of the stress that would have been on the me and on my parents, completely away! We were truly able to enjoy the wedding day while Abbie took care of all the little details. If you are hesitating getting a coordinator, DO IT! You will not regret it. Especially if you choose ACH Events!

Laura Gama

Hiring Abbie as our wedding day of coordinator was by far one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was incredibly sweet and beyond patient with my multiple requests/ questions. Abbie was always happy to help with vendor selections, ideas, and thought of everything I hadn't thought of myself. She was extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry in Austin and it was obvious she is an expert at what she does. We had a large Colombian wedding and Abbie was super accommodating and flexible – she made it seem she had done Catholic Colombian weddings a million times before! She was very patient with all of our family members and most importantly, made sure everything ran smoothly. We knew we needed someone that was patient, yet assertive, and I can’t imagine anyone better. Not only is Abbie amazing professionally, but she is the kind of person you want to be friends with and stay in touch with after the wedding! This made working with her just incredible and we will always be thankful for the vital role she played in making our day nothing but perfect.

my favorite thing about working with abbie was all our pre-wedding meetings/banter. She made me feel so at ease about the day and also made it fun. we hired her as a 'day-of' planner and her rates were the best. we felt like she deserved all we paid her BEFORE the wedding even happened! she was recommended to me by the staff at one eleven east and we couldn't have been more satisfied with our choice !

Steven Slyter

Abbie is my FAVORITE event planners to work with in central Texas. I can't stress how important the planner for a wedding or corporate event is, they set the tone, and anytime I know Abbie is in charge I feel super relieved. She well organized, very bubbly and east to get along with, and I can't recommend her enough!

Jessica Plummer

Hiring Abbie was one of the best decisions we made in regards to planning our wedding. Not only did she work hard for us on our wedding day to make it stress free and everything we hoped it would be and more, she worked hard for us after our wedding following up on an unfortunate experience we had with our DJ, calling the company THAT NIGHT to speak to them about it and making sure we were taken care of and reimbursed appropriately. I cannot recommend her enough for anyone planning a wedding.

Abbie is seriously THE BEST! I had the pleasure of working with Abbie and her assistant Hannah for my wedding last year, and could not have loved them more! When we hired them on for Day-Of Coordination, I was convinced we didn't really need them. Boy was I wrong! Abbie discussed details about the wedding day that I never even THOUGHT OF! Helping me cover every aspect to ensure our day would run as smooth as possible. Her and Hannah were so kind and fun to be around and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and spend time with them. Thank you Abbie & Hannah. Y'all are incredible!

Abbie was amazing from start to finish! When we first met, she was prepared and helped us understand all the fun parts of wedding planning while simultaneously making us feel at ease. Our meetings with her were always a delight. From brainstorming entertaining options to helping us envision the layout of our venue, we knew she was looking out for us. She has strong relationships with vendors which was a major plus for us…we went with several of her vendor recommendations and were very pleased. We could enjoy our day more knowing she was around and had a handle on everything. She set up and decorated our venue beyond our expectations—we were blown away by how absolutely lovely and perfect everything looked. We feel like she pulled out all the stops (even bringing some of her own personal items for décor!) to make everything look even better. We highly recommend meeting with her when considering a topnotch wedding coordinator!

Abbie is absolutely amazing! My husband and I met with 3 other coordinators before meeting Abbie, and from the moment we met, we knew she was the perfect fit. She's professional, friendly, warm, creative, organized, and communicates promptly and effectively...she's everything you'd want in a wedding planner. Her goal is to help you turn your vision into a reality, and she'll do everything she can to make that happen. She helped us to fine tune all the details and thanks to her, everything came together so smoothly and perfectly on the day. She thinks of literally everything...like bringing us a topo chico after each cocktail. All of our vendors commented on how she was such a pleasure to work with, and our guests loved her too. She's passionate about what she does, and it shows! Thanks Abbie, we are forever grateful
