About

ACH Events is an award-winning full-service wedding and event planning company located in Austin, Texas. We serve all of Texas, and love destination weddings in Colorado, Mexico, the Caribbean, and New York. The owner and lead planner Abbie Hillis established her business back in 2016 and has successfully planned more than 150 weddings in that time.

Services Offered

At ACH Events, all of our packages are custom and cater directly to each client's individual event wants and needs. Some of our clients love to do a ton of meetings, so we structure their package to accommodate that. Other clients are email fanatics, so instead of having a ton of meetings in their package, we increase their back-end planning hours.

Our packages include a lead planner, plus an assistant on your wedding day (destination clients will have an additional travel fee associated with their packages). The packages can also grow from there depending on additional guidance you would like from us as we move through the planning process. The best part is that packages are fully customizable, so if things come up during the planning process and you need additional assistance, we can always add to your package. You don't know what you don't know, which is why we are so flexible! To book a date, we ask for a deposit and a signed contract.

If this sounds like the perfect fit for you and your planning style, the best thing we can do is jump on a 15-20 minute call to chat through your vision and how we can best help bring your vision and planning style to life. You're welcome to send us a message or fill out our contact form on our website.

Our dedicated team is happy to offer services for events such as vow renewals, elopements, and destination weddings, along with traditional ceremonies and receptions.

Best Part of My Wedding was ACH Events!

ACH Events is like if you took the best girlfriends you've ever had and let them plan your wedding! I truly cannot say enough AMAZING things about Abbie and Mikayla! From my first phone call with Abbie asking, "How do I even plan a wedding?!" to the post wedding hugs and happy tears, I know that I could not have asked for a better team. I never once felt like a "client" of theirs but a very dear friend. Every concern, question, and favor I asked of them was handled in the most professional, timely, and beautiful way. For every bride/groom planning their wedding, I can tell you that if you want someone who will far exceed your expectations, you will not be disappointed by ACH Events! I didn't just "hire" someone for my wedding day, I became part of a family. Join us, won't you? :)

BEST Wedding Planning Team in the World, Seriously.

Benevo Events (formerly ACH Events) was 100% the best wedding planning service I could have engaged for my Jan 2023 wedding. Their team is impeccable - especially Mikayla Springer - and they went far above & beyond to make sure we had the best day in the history of the universe! From managing vendors to onsite day-of-coordination and everything in between, I truly couldn't have done it without them. Their pricing is affordable and flexible, too. I can't imagine using any other service for planning my wedding. You're missing out if you don't work with this team!

Mikayla was PERFECT!

Working with Mikayla as our wedding planner was the greatest decision my wife and I ever made. Mikayla gave us a tremendous peace of mind since day one of meeting her in what is always a very stressful planning process. She far exceeded our expectations in every way, and took the lead on everything possible, making it very comforting that our big day was well on schedule from catering to attire to music to decorations to the venue, etc. Mikayla is tremendously reliable, as she made herself available to us any time of the day when we had questions or concerns. Mikayla is responsible and has an incredible passion and confidence in what she does. My wife and I will recommend her any chance we get, and we even made a great friend along the way! Thank you Mikayla!!

Riley was incredible!! Highly recommend!!

I worked with Riley as a behind the scenes content creator for my wedding and she was absolutely INCREDIBLE. She captured all the beautiful video and photo behind the scenes footage- even captured some moments my photographer and videographers missed. She was on it at all times and so beyond professional! And to top it off she was so incredibly kind and generous and wonderful to work with! I woke up the day after my wedding and had hundreds of photos and videos to look at and reminisce on the night. She even created a beautiful montage of my husband and I to music that made us both cry happy tears!! Thank you thank you Riley!!! Highly highly recommend hiring her for your wedding! Best decision we made hiring her for our wedding!!! Don’t think twice, hire this amazing woman! Thanks again Riley!

ACH Events helped make our wedding perfect!

I can't say enough good things about Abbie and the ACH Events team! These ladies are AMAZING. I hired Abbie as our coordinator and she was always there for me when I needed her. From the first moment my now husband and I met her, we instantly felt comfortable and at ease with every decision she helped us make. From helping a young toddler get down the aisle on time to navigating through freezing temperatures, Abbie made it all happen. ACH Events, you're the reason why our wedding went absolutely PERFECT! So perfect! Thank you so much!!!

Dream Colorado Wedding

There just aren’t enough descriptive words to express my gratitude to Mikayla and ACH Events for helping us with nearly every aspect of planning my daughter’s dream “destination” Colorado wedding. Caitlin and her husband Matt live in Australia. I’m in Austin and the wedding was in Breckenridge, a place I know well, but finding vendors from scratch was a daunting task. At our very first lunch meeting, Mikayla and Abbie were on it! Over the next weeks and months, they researched, interviewed, and found vendors that met Caitlin’s vision perfectly and were comfortably within my budget.

Needless to say, the weekend was perfect. Mikayla was amazing to work with - again. My youngest daughter Lauren and I worked with ACH just 14 months earlier for a Lakeway Resort wedding. The day, specifically the Colorado mountain weather, threw some surprises at us. Mikayla was prepared, funny, calm and I even got her on the dance floor with me for a moment of joy and laughter. Mikayla also helped us manage two one-year-olds, babysitting and their transportation. The fact that I’ve used Mikayla and ACH Events twice says it all. They are the best - Fun to work with, professional, smart & creative!!!

Ach events & mikayla make it happen

The ACH Events team DELIVERS. I feel very lucky to have had Mikayla's support & creative input in bringing to life the vision and hopes my husband and I had for our wedding in June of this year. She brings fresh & creative ideas, attacks challenges head on with quick problem solving & has an extensive network of vendors that made planning an out of town wedding a breeze. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her work. What I am most appreciative of though, is the level of care that she took throughout the planning process and the wedding weekend. The ACH Events team is relational and personable & I feel as though I got to plan my wedding alongside a longtime friend. Mikayla & the ACH Events team truly seek to create events that prioritize the must-haves and key moments for their clients and their guests. With their input, I was able to be present & soak in all of those moments Mikayla & ACH Events helped create. 11/10 recommend ACH Events - I cannot speak highly enough of this team!

Best wedding decision i ever made

Our venue owner recommended Abbie and the moment we talked with her we knew she was the perfect fit for us! My only complaint is with myself for not having hired their team for all of our wedding events. The ACH team was soooo INCREDIBLE! Our family and even friends made so many comments of how awesome the ladies in black running around were the day of the wedding! And Abbie saved the day many times leading up to the wedding too! It was such a wonderful day thanks to their team, needless to say wedding planning is overwhelming but once we started to work with Abbie it was the fun experience movies paint it out to be!

I could not recommend them enough, their communication and professionalism is everything you could want for your wedding and their thoughtfulness and kindness is well beyond what you could ever imagine!
Abbie - thank you sooo much for the french fries out on the dance floor along with so many memories we will truly never forget!

10/10 Recommend ACH Events and Mikayla!!

Mikayla was our planner and I truly could not have Imagined our day without her! She was there leading up to the big day, and was great about answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease. On the big day she was super helpful and allowed us to truly enjoy the evening. From greeting us after the ceremony with our favorite drinks, to checking In and making sure we're having the best time, and being there through It all. I even had a few people ask if we knew her before, she was that personable and helpful! My maid of honor Is getting married next year and said she was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, but before cocktail hour was even over, I heard her chatting with Mikayla about how she will absolutely be hiring one (maybe ACH events will be heading to CO for hers!). Overall, I couldn't image our day without her!! 10/10 recommend!

Best Experience!

Abbie is just pure amazing! She has been helping me coordinate my wedding since 2018! I am a Covid bride. I have rescheduled my wedding 3 times and finally had it in April! Abbie made sure all my ducks in a row each time there was a reschedule. She knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and when you have a thought in mind she can take that thought to the next level. I am forever grateful of the friendship I have with Abbie and forever grateful for ACH Events being there with me since day one! If you need a wedding coordinator, Abbie and her team are the ones to have!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
