Hello! We are Hannah and Bethany! We partner at AMLT Wedding Events. Our unofficial motto is "Every couple deserves to have a coordinator, even if it's not us!" We believe that a helping hand on the day of ensure minimal stress and maximum enjoyment for each couple and family.

I cannot recommend Bethany from A Million Little Things enough! After a lot of research, I decided to hire her as our month-of coordinator, and it was truly the best decision I made for our wedding—right up there with saying “I do” to my amazing groom! From the very first conversation, it was clear that Bethany and I clicked. She was not just a planner but a true partner in making our day special. Whenever issues arose (and trust me, they did!), she was right there, providing guidance and support. I even gave her the seemingly impossible task of timing my entrance perfectly, and she absolutely nailed it! Despite outside challenges, she orchestrated everything flawlessly, leaving our guests in awe. Bethany is not just incredible at what she does; she’s also a wonderful person. I genuinely feel like I gained a friend through this experience. If you’re on the fence about hiring her, let me tell you: DO IT! I couldn’t have pulled off our dream wedding without her expertise, dedication, and warmth. Thank you, Bethany, for making our day unforgettable!

Avenue Design Studio - Wedding Planning 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Athens, TN

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Hi there, my name is Lily Quinn-Hendrick, I am the owner and head planner of El Events, specializing in wedding planning, design, and coordination. What started as a wedding gift to a friend quickly turned into a passion for curating weddings specific to each couple. I received my BA in Communications from UTC and fell in love with Chattanooga during my four years in college. When I’m not planning weddings you can catch me in yoga or spin, hanging out with my dog Sophie, or with my nose in good thriller. It is always such an honor to be a part of a couple’s special day. I can’t wait to help you make your dreams come to life!

I am a wedding venue manager and love working with the El Events team as much as possible! They are one of our top preferred vendors that we recommend. Lily and her entire team are amazing. They always put their 1000% into every wedding. They make my job easier too. They always have an answer for me or work hard to find one. If I had to describe El Events in a few words, I'd say: team players, hardworking, dedicated, and FUN! Not only are they good at their job, but they make everyone around them smile 3 Whether it's the owner herself, Lily, or one of her associate planners... I know that it's going to be a good one when I see their names down. The photo attached is from one of our Open Houses where we featured Lily and her team!

Claudio & Co Events was a delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was affable, approachable, and facilitating - they were always available to answer questions and help us through the planning process. The quality of their work was insurmountable, as they were effective at keeping us on track and ensuring our venue duties on the ceremony day was fun and felt good. When unexpected things happened, they had backups and contingencies ready to go, and their ability to quickly wrangle the necessary roles and pivot to take charge of the circumstances was truly impressive. Claudio & Co Events were a wonder to work with at our venue, doing everything and more to prepare us and the other vendors for the big day. They were easy to communicate with and made sure to be on-site for communication and discovery as much as possible to ensure the vision was coming to life. I can say without a doubt they knocked it out of the park, and I'll be raving about their success that we share whenever I'm asked!

I loved working with Amanda for our wedding and she was the one that stuck out to me the most when we first met her at the vendor meeting. She is very down to earth and was fantastic at keeping me accountable so everything got done in time for the wedding. There was some point during the wedding process where I hadn't followed back up with the baker or caterer because I had other commitments as a grad student. However, I never doubted that Amanda was on top of everything, and, sure enough, everything was perfect on our wedding day! She managed to wrangle all of the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and three flower girls through the rehearsal and down the aisle with expertise. As a bride, I really prioritized having someone dedicated to their work, someone who was just as involved as I needed them to be, and listened to mine and Christian's wants. While I don't think I will be getting married again, I fully recommend Amanda to any other couple's looking to get married and trying to find the best coordinator!
