About Handled by Hamlin Events

Handled by Hamlin Events

Lead Coordinator

Hi, my name is Michelle. I am an educator with a love for weddings and events. If I can handle a classroom of 24 second graders imaging what I can do for you on your wedding day. Handled by Hamlin Events is for a couple who is fun, energetic, carefree, and wants to live their best "married" life.

The thing about me is, I am always looking for that silver lining in every situation. I will also make you smile and laugh as much as possible. My vibe is to joke and be silly, but also keep to your schedule and timeline. Couples would probably call me the energizer bunny.

This box doesn’t have a high enough character limit for me to describe just how wonderful Michelle is! She’s such a good listener and checked in with us regularly leading up to the wedding and kept everything so organized and on track with all of our vendors. She helped me so much when I hit a snag during the planning process and day-of and I cannot thank her enough. Not to mention Diana who was with us on the wedding day as well - she was key to keeping my dad’s pre-speech nerves down and that meant the world to me. I cannot thank them enough - don’t second-guess, just book Michelle!
You'll love working with her

I worked with Michelle Hamlin for a mutual client. We connected many times during the event and I could see her care and concern for the various things that can come up out of nowhere. She was sincere and I saw her going out of her way to do make sure this event was a success and that her client was happy. Michelle was looking out for everything, I was impressed by that. She wanted thier vision to come to life and tirelessly made things happen for a successful event. Even before the event, she communicated with us and shared details for a successful event. Michelle is truly unique - someone who is so attentive to her clients while maintaining a pleasurable working experience with vendors. You won't be sorry hiring her!

As a SECOND time Bride, whom didn't use a planner the first time. HIRE MICHELLE. You won't regret it one bit. As a "seasoned" wedding professional, I didn't use a planner the first time and I regret it. WOW WOW WOW What a difference it makes to have someone advocating for you! There was no need to chat with any vendors and answer questions about anything because I had Michelle. I can't stress enough how much this made my day STRESS-FREE. She's a total professional boss babe, friendly, and fierce. Thank you again Michelle for making our day AMAAAAAAAZING.

If you are debating if you should hire a coordinator for your wedding at all, my advice is you will absolutely need one. If you are debating whom you should hire as a coordinator I can not recommend Michelle Hamlin enough. She has all the traits a wedding coordinator (or, optimally, wedding guest) needs: indefatigable, hard working, responsive, organized, positive, and most importantly, loves weddings. She was very helpful throughout our wedding planning process and had answers to all our questions. She was committed to making our ideas work. On the day of the wedding, she was there from the getting ready photos until the last sleepy cousin left the venue making it all run smoothly. She made our dreams come true!
