Welcome friends!! I am Hannah Strickland, owner and lead planner of Hannah Strickland Events. I've worked in the industry for over 6 years and have found an absolute passion for curating and designing weddings. My passion for events can be traced back to a hopeless romantic heart I was luckily born with. Whether watching Ross & Rachel on Friends or Nick and Jess on New Girl, love (with a healthy dose of laughter) has always resonated with me.

 

As a kid, I remember watching the scene in A Cinderella Story where the couple was seemingly moving toward reconciliation and squealing with anticipation. My parents rolling their eyes, yelling from another room, “Hannah, you’ve seen it a million times!” Honestly parents, like this matters?

 

After studying Integrated Marketing Communication at UNC Wilmington & interning with versatile photographers, planners, and venue coordinators throughout Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Wilson, & Wilmington, I decided to step out & create a business of my own. We've traveled all throughout eastern North Carolina and beyond pulling off stunning events for couples. New places, new people, and interpersonal relationship still enthralls me after all these years.

 

Furthermore, I cannot truly speak about love without speaking on its Creator. I am a believer in Jesus Christ, the author and sustainer of love. The weddings I’ve planned have been in complete reflection of His grace and love toward myself and the couples I have served. Truly, He sustains each wedding and marriage, teaching me that trusting Him and working hard is imperative to having a successful business. 

 

Love, to me, is more than kisses in the rain and long walks on the beach (although I adore both of those things with my husband). It is about sacrifice, laughter, passion, joy, hard work, and a lifetime full of yes’s and no’s with one imperfect human and one perfect Savior.   

 

I hope to curate an amazing friendship throughout this journey. I am truly humbled for the consideration to be a part of your wedding day. We are going to have a blast!!
