Kathryn Sent on 02/04/2022Best 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? :) -

Alexa Sent on 04/16/2023BEST 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! -

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! -

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! -

Alex Sent on 09/02/2022Best 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! -

Jacqueline Sent on 04/14/2022Loves of my life 10/10
Mikayla is a literal angel from above. She was there for us throughout our entire wedding planning process. She took our vision and made it real, and she honestly felt more like a friend than a vendor. The entire ACH team made our day so special and it ran SO smoothly. Mikayla was flexible, consistent, and always had the best ideas for how to make our dream day come to life while still staying in budget. Mikayla was always willing to pitch in with whatever we needed, she has the greatest connections and was so happy to make introductions for us for any vendors we needed to book. The tools that ACH gave us truly kept us organized and made sure we thought about all of the details that go in to a successful wedding. All of our wedding party loved Mikayla and her team. If there were any issues on the day of the wedding, they did a great job handling them because we didn’t hear about a thing!! Mikayla truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and I can’t say enough good things about our experience with ACH Events. We would book them one million more times, we are so so SO thankful for this team!!! -

Samantha Sent on 10/05/2021Perfection!
This review is long because the Abbie Cole Hillis Events team absolutely crush it! We used Abbie's services for wedding planning as well as the florals for our wedding day. Melissa was our planner since day one and she was amazing throughout the whole process (2 years in the making - Covid bride/groom over here). I can't say enough good things about Melissa, she's responsive, compassionate, and was super helpful especially during such a difficult time to plan a wedding. She really saw what we were wanting out of our wedding and made it happen! Abbie did our florals and they were better than I could've imagined! Her choice in textures of dried and live florals as well as the colors were the exact vibe I was going for. I also have to give a shoutout to Mikayla because she was a huge help on the day of as well! Seriously got the best team for our big day and we were shocked at how beautiful and perfect our wedding day was. Extra grateful to have found these lovely ladies! -

Hire Abbie & Her Team ASAP!!!!!
I cannot say enough positive things about ACH Events. Hiring Abbie from ACH Events to be our wedding coordinator was the best decision ever—she was awesome! Abbie and her team were top-notch. Communication was easy, and her vendor recommendations were all amazing…literally every single one of them!! Not only did she help with the timeline, logistics, and ideas, but we also hired her to do our flowers! I was truly blown away with her floral creations. Hiring her saved us a ton of time, money, and stress. I would hire ACH Events 10x over! Everyone at our wedding was very impressed with her and her two assistants, Hannah, and Mikayla. She is the one who gave us the names of our caterers, cake bakery, DJ, Live entertainment, and more—each of which were complimented repeatedly. I can’t believe how wonderful our wedding day was. It was a dream come true! Hire ACH events, and I promise you yours will be just as magical. Abbie is a rock star!! -

Layne Sent on 04/20/2021The Best Wedding Planner in Austin!
Abbie and the ACH Events team were wonderful to work with! I was a bride that thought I could do it all on my own, and I am SO grateful that I didn’t. My only wish is that I found ACH Events sooner. Everything about our wedding from set up to tear down ran perfectly and I didn’t have to worry about any of it. I can’t recommend them enough! -

Jessica Sent on 02/28/2021Abbie is a rockstar
Abbie is a genuine rockstar and I do not know how I would have made it through the wedding planning process without her! From start to finish, she was there to answer all of my questions, offer advice, read through contracts, coordinate with vendors and so on. Her profound knowledge of the industry is invaluable and you will want her in your corner. Let me tell you, she has your back no matter what and she will do whatever it takes! It is also worth mentioning that COVID hit in the middle of our planning process and Abbie was there every step of the way to help us navigate through the craziness, giving us consistent industry updates and even hosted group zoom calls with her brides to answer our questions. A true pro, especially when faced with so much uncertainty. Because of her I was so at ease and relaxed on my wedding day (and the days leading up to it) because I knew she had everything under control. And it was the most perfect day thanks to her! I was so grateful to have Abbie by my side through this process and cannot recommend her enough!

Lauren Sent on 01/26/2021Highly Recommend a Month-of Coordinator!
I love to plan, but I am a busy graduate student who does not have a lot of spare time. I hired Abbie for month-of coordination, which was perfect. I needed someone I could transfer everything to at the one month mark and someone I could trust with the day’s details. This was especially important as a largely DIY bride because there were many little moving parts, and I wanted to be able to enjoy my day. Abbie was always available for little questions and was super helpful in finding vendors and providing tips/advice. She is thorough and flexible, as she was able to troubleshoot solutions on an unexpectedly cold and windy day. If you need someone supportive, dependable, hard-working, and organized, Abbie is the coordinator for you! -

Must have!
I have so many incredible things to say about Abbie and her team at ACH Events. Abbie handled LITERALLY every aspect of our wedding. Planning, design, florals, scheduling, life coaching, encouragement, my sanity…. The list goes on. I cannot even say how many of our guests came up to us and our families saying how amazing and on top of it Abbie was. Truly, she is the only reason we were able to go through with our wedding (covid bride here) and she exceeded any and all expectations that we had. I also want to mention that I was on a budget for our wedding and she was worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY- plus some. You are in the best hands possible with ACH! -

Lauren Sent on 05/04/2020Hire Abbie Now!
Whether you’ve just started the planning process amid all the COVID craziness or your a few months deep and not sure what to do next CALL ABBIE!! We recently had to postpone our June 2020 wedding to June 2021 and Abbie has been an absolute lifesaver! She always has the most up to date information impacting the wedding/event world and proactively updates me and all her other brides. I literally have not had to reach out to her once because she has been so on top of posting video updates, sending emails and just calling to check in on me. Abbie was a huge help when it came to working with our vendors to postpone and I can honestly say if it weren’t for her it would not have worked out even half as good as it did. I’m so thankful we decided to hire Abbie, based on her efforts during this difficult time I know our wedding day will be managed flawlessly! -

Caitlyn Sent on 12/06/2019Best Coordinator EVER!
I loved working with Abbie not only on my wedding day, but in the months leading up to the wedding. She was so patient and answered all my (and my mothers) many questions. You cant go wrong hiring Abbie to be your girl on the most important day of your life! She won't let you down! Her and Melissa decorated the ceremony space in the chapel and it took my breath away! Thank you so much! -

Liz Sent on 09/22/2019Awesome to work with!
ACH Events were the absolute best to work with. My fiancé and I went into our first meeting with a few ideas of our own and a general flow of how we wanted things to go, but we also had some gaping holes that we had no idea how to fill. Abbie understood our vision and was able to help us make decisions we had been putting off. She offered suggestions for a few vendors that we ended up LOVING. At our final meeting, I came in feeling a tad anxious about how much was left to do and left feeling like everything was taken care of. In general, I am a planner and wouldn’t have hired someone if my venue hadn’t required it, but I am SO glad that they did. Abbie’s expertise and knowledge of the wedding industry was something that was so valuable to us and saved me so much time and frustration. The day of was a breeze - hands down the best day of my life, and a lot of that was due to the thoughtful planning of ACH Events. -

Jessica Sent on 05/08/2019Amazing service from ACH Events
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. -

Amberlee Sent on 12/11/2018Book her now. Seriously.
I can not begin to describe how amazing it was to have an expert like Abbie on our side for not only the big day, but for all of the (what could have been) stressful weeks/months leading up to it. Abbie is organized, punctual, genuine and SO MUCH FUN! It’s safe to say she was the best decision we made regarding our wedding day. She not only took the stress away from our day by taking control of the little things (including things I hadn’t even thought about) but made it a point to make sure we were comfortable and having fun throughout the whole process. She navigated my wants as well as the irregular nature of my family and their requests. She stepped up and went way beyond what was expected of her. Not to mention was able to navigate my unusual and difficult family dynamic. Again, I can’t rave enough about her. I would book her 1000x over for any event and know it’s in THE BEST hands. I would recommend my experience with Abbie to any and everyone. -

Abbie is a gem! She's the only reason I was able to relax and just enjoy our day. I'm a pretty organized person and had a decent handle on the wedding planning process, but just needed someone in my court to bounce ideas off of, get recommendations and be there the day of to run the show the way I'd want it done. She exceeded all my expectations and trust her so much. This badass lady boss knows her stuff and will make sure that your day is everything and more! Thank you Abbie! -

Emma Sent on 12/05/2018Abbie is incredible
If you are getting married in the Austin-area, Abbie is who you need. She worked so well with all of my other vendors, helped me pull together the ones I had overlooked, and championed all my quirky dreams. She did an excellent job of helping me plan for chaos while ensuring that it never happened. Abbie came into our partnership with a breadth of knowledge, but never made me feel like I had to plan my wedding a certain. I told her my vision and she carried the torch. I am so grateful to have worked with her!! -

Justice Sent on 04/03/2022Highly recommend Mikayla and ACH
Mikayla was our day-of coordinator but started helping us around 60 days out with final details leading up to the big day. She has a good relationship with a ton of vendors so don’t be scared to ask questions; she is a rockstar that makes sh*t happen! Day of, we had both Mikayla and Abbie on-site and they were always one step ahead of us. They kept the night flowing/on track, kept our drinks filled, set up a private dinner for us, and taught me how to dip my wife lol. They definitely helped make our night everything we wanted it to be. -

Kim Sent on 03/22/2025Chaotic & Dissatisfied
My daughter's wedding was almost 2 years ago and we still get mad at the way the ceremony was handled after all this time. I can't possibly remember all of the issues we had, but i can tell you that Makayla didn't appear to know what she was doing. The timeline was a disaster, decorations were incomplete, she took the Bride and Groom away for photos and were gone nearly an hour... no one knew where they were. Dinner had been served but we couldn't find them for the cake cutting. Nearly half of the guests left before the cake. So many other issues with signage, guests were confused about seating, and so much more.
