About el events

el events

Owner & head planner

Hi there, my name is Lily Quinn-Hendrick, I am the owner and head planner of El Events, specializing in wedding planning, design, and coordination. What started as a wedding gift to a friend quickly turned into a passion for curating weddings specific to each couple. I received my BA in Communications from UTC and fell in love with Chattanooga during my four years in college. When I’m not planning weddings you can catch me in yoga or spin, hanging out with my dog Sophie, or with my nose in good thriller. It is always such an honor to be a part of a couple’s special day. I can’t wait to help you make your dreams come to life!

I believe in over communication, getting to know couples on a deeper level, and becoming like a friend you feel comfortable trusting with every detail. Connection & communication are the most important aspects of my job.

In three words: Collaborative, Confident, Organized

    I have had the pleasure of working with el events on several occasions, and I can confidently say that they are a truly exceptional wedding planning team. Their communication style is fun, confident and positive, which puts couples at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work is seamless and high-value, as they go above and beyond to bring the couple's vision to life. Every wedding day I have photographed with el events at the helm has been an elevated event, where the team works hard to keep the day running smoothly and ensure the couple is happy. As a vendor, I can count on Lily and her team to be professional, friendly and a joy to collaborate with. el events is my favorite planner to work with, and I highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.

    I am a wedding venue manager and love working with the El Events team as much as possible! They are one of our top preferred vendors that we recommend. Lily and her entire team are amazing. They always put their 1000% into every wedding. They make my job easier too. They always have an answer for me or work hard to find one. If I had to describe El Events in a few words, I'd say: team players, hardworking, dedicated, and FUN! Not only are they good at their job, but they make everyone around them smile 3 Whether it's the owner herself, Lily, or one of her associate planners... I know that it's going to be a good one when I see their names down. The photo attached is from one of our Open Houses where we featured Lily and her team!

    Lily and her team are absolutely amazing. It was so relieving to know that our wedding day was in such good hands, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. I was concerned I would feel stressed and anxious, but the team made sure everything went well. From our initial meeting, Lily was wonderful with every detail, amazing with all communication, and overall made the wedding process easy! I have recommended Lily and her team to anyone who is planning a wedding.
