About

Eileen Hankin
Event Architect | Global Experience Curator | Founder, Events by Eileen

A proud native of St. Louis, Missouri, I bring over 32 years of global event planning experience to every project I touch. My career has taken me across continents, crafting unforgettable experiences from corporate hospitality suites at the Super Bowl to intimate executive dinners in historic venues like Cyrano de Bergerac’s home in France. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with world-class entertainers and orchestrating events that leave lasting impressions.

What sets me apart is my ability to anticipate operational challenges and fine-tune every detail to perfection. I thrive in the rhythm of logistics, creativity, and seamless execution.

Currently, I serve as a full-time event planner for one of the world’s leading meeting and incentive companies. Outside of that role, I channel my passion into Events by Eileen. A boutique service dedicated to helping local couples celebrate their big day with elegance and ease. Because this is my passion, not my primary profession, I’m able to offer expert guidance and day-of coordination at an accessible rate. My trusted team of planners supports larger and also those more intricate celebrations, ensuring every event is handled with care.

St. Louis offers a rich tapestry of venues and vibrant communities, and I’m honored to help bring your vision to life. You plan it—I’ll make sure it runs flawlessly, so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your special day!

Calming and the Best!

Working with Eileen on my wedding was the best experience. She knows her stuff so well and thinks about things that haven’t even crossed your mind. You immediately connect with her and
She brings a calmness to your meetings. I knew going into my wedding weekend I would have absolutely nothing to worry about because no detail would be left unnoticed or undone. Everything down to the placement of the escort cards was absolutely perfect. She is the best!!

Takes away your stress

I worked with Eileen on my daughter’s wedding. She is a dream to work with. And the best thing was she knew to plan ahead before any problem came up. She took the stress out of the day and took my worries as her responsibilities. Best thing we did was to have Eileen takenover on the day!!
