About Ackin Events
Ackin Events
I love planning - like seriously, love it! I started seeing how friends and family were so stressed out about their weddings and wanted so badly to help. Who likes seeing the people they care about struggling and stressed out? After the first few times helping with their big days, I knew this was my passion. I truly enjoy giving people the ability to enjoy their day. I love spending time with my husband attending sporting events, playing softball, camping, and loving our fur children. I absolutely LOVE traveling, especially to DISNEY! Event planning makes me happy and I am passionate about bringing joy to your big day!

Bring Your Vision to Life!
I am so grateful I found Ackin Events at a wedding expo early in my engagement! We used Ackin’s Wedding Management, Officiating, and Rental services for our wedding day. I am very Type-A, so I got along great with Sammy right off the bat! I tend to like being in control, so I knew I wanted to do the planning for our day myself, but needed someone I could trust to execute my vision - and Ackin Events made it happen! We began monthly planning meetings 4 months in advance, so I felt confident that Sammy truly understood my vision and was well prepared to take the lead on our day. She was also a helpful resource for any questions I had along the way, or when I needed input on a decision one way or another based on her extensive wedding management experience. This all truly allowed my husband and I to be in the moment and soak in our day! Sammy officiated for us and was receptive to any requests we had for our non-traditional ceremony so we could tailor it to fit our relationship. Ackin’s rental catalog is extensive, so it was easy to rely on them for any of the items I didn’t purchase myself. I could go on and on… you can rest assured that booking with Ackin Events means you will have a magical wedding day!

Working with Akin Events was a dream come true! From our first meeting, Sammy and the team were attentive and understanding of our vision. They guided us through every step, ensuring all our ideas were brought to life. Their professionalism and creativity made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. We truly felt supported throughout, and the end result exceeded all our expectations. Highly recommend them for any event! We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Akin Events for our wedding! From start to finish, every detail was perfect, and the decorations were stunning. A special shoutout to Sammy for making our day so memorable. The photo booth was a fantastic addition to our reception! I can't recommend them enough!
Couldn’t have done it without Ackin Events!
Leading up to the big day I had several great meeting with Ackin Events to help prepare me and make sure we were on the same page. It really took a lot of weight off my shoulders knowing I could work with a professional on timeline, decor and so much more! The day-of ran smoothly and was GORGEOUS thanks to Sammy and her team. They put in so much work to make sure every detail was perfect. I know that Sammy truly cared about me as a person and wanted to ensure the best day for my partner and I!
The BEST.
Sammy and her team did amazing on our big busy day. We had a big wedding with 400 guest and everything went smoothly. Sammy knows what’s she’s doing and I’m so happy I decided to go with her as my day of coordinator. No regrets at all! Highly recommend Ackin Events. Everything Sammy said they’ll do, they did.
