Ackin Events is a Minnesota wedding planning company built for a specific kind of couple: the ones who already think in details. We work with Type-A clients across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota who know what they want, or can get there fast when given the right options, and who need a planning partner who matches that energy instead of asking them to relax and hand it all over.
Most planners promise to simplify things for you. We don't. We go further than you already have. Whether a couple books Full Service Planning & Design, Partial Planning, or Wedding Management, every one of our final four months looks the same: a details meeting, a timeline meeting, a decor walkthrough item by item, an in-person venue walkthrough, and a final check the week before. For Wedding Management clients, that four-month window is also when we begin working with them entirely, well ahead of the six-to-eight-week window most planners offer for a comparable package.
Sammy, the company's owner and Lead Event Planner, didn't set out to plan weddings specifically. She wanted to work in events generally: sports organizations, parks and rec, anywhere with an events function. None of it worked out. Meanwhile, she was already doing weddings for friends and family as favors, and loved every one of them. A final-round rejection for an event coordinator role, at her own mom's company, was the moment that turned it into a business. She built the Ackin Events website that same day.
Ackin Events currently offers Full Service Planning & Design (starting at $7,000), Partial Planning (starting at $4,000), and Wedding Management (starting at $2,250) to couples across the Twin Cities metro and greater Minnesota. The standard is the same across every tier: your only job on wedding day is to get married.

Meet the Wedding Pro
Hi, I'm Sammy, owner and lead planner at Ackin Events.
I started this business because I love the details other people find overwhelming. If you already know what you want, and you're used to being the one everyone else looks to for keeping things on track, you don't have to hand off your standards to work with a planner. My whole process is built to match them, then go further, so you actually get to be a guest at your own wedding instead of running it.
We plan weddings across the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, from Full Service Planning & Design to Wedding Management. Wherever you're starting from, I'd love to talk through what your day needs.
You can see full package details, or reach out directly, at ackinevents.com.
