We worked with Hily & Katie on signage, a custom photobooth backdrop and installing a discoball in our venue (also some matchboxes too and menus too!) They were great to work with...
as we went thru some revisions for our specific vision on font/typework - they were flexible and rose to the challenge of installing a discoball in a space that they hadn't yet done so in. Would recommend them to work thru your creative vision for your special day. They helped fill gaps of things we didn't realize we needed for the special day and were a pleasure to work with. Thank you guys! Love, Bianca and Ben
I don't know where to start with Hily and Katie and their perfection. From the beginning to the end, they went absolutely ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our dream wedding happen. Through...
the date changes, venue changes, guest count changes, COVID craziness - they were 100% by our side through it all, guiding us, responsive to ALL of our questions and concerns, and throwing in more support than we paid for because they genuinely care about producing a flawless event. The two of them compliment eachother beautifully, and everyone of my family and friends just wants to be their best friends - did not stop raving about how the event COULD NOT have been more beautiful.
I have never planned a wedding, and I could never have imagined how many moving parts and pieces go into it all. I was a clueless, neurotic mess the entire time and they handled me with love, grace and care. They thought about EVERYTHING. They even collected everything that was left at the venue at the end and brought it to me. They didn't miss a BEAT.
I promise you, THEY ARE YOUR DREAM PLANNERS. PAY FOR FULL SERVICE. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
Hily and Katie - we love you. thank you for your magic, your incredible talent and professionalism, and for also being so fun and cool the whole time.
I want to get married again just to work with ya'll but I guess that won't work out haha!
*Brides - book them 2 years out. They are quickly rising to the time and becoming one of the most sought after planners in New Orleans*
Hily and her team not only delivered an elegant, beautiful and flawless wedding, but also coached us through three pandemic postponements. Hily turned what was a stressful process ...
into a smooth and successful final event . She and her team are forward-thinking and cutting edge, and many guests have told me that ours was the most stylish and unique wedding they had ever been to at our popular NOLA venue. Hily also worked within our budget and kept a firm hand on both the big picture and the myriad details that go into wedding production.
Married in May 2019 in New Orleans, and we're still over the moon with all that Nice Day did to make it the best day ever! Hily and her team were amazing from start to finish, and ...
we could not have asked for more. These ladies are rockstars.
Hily, Katie, and Sam far exceeded every expectation that we had for a wedding planner. What drew my wife initially to Hily and her team was their ability to create a moment. We saw...
the incredible balloon installation at the Catahoula hotel on their site and knew that they were the planners for us.
Our wedding was a destination wedding so it was very important to us to create a very special experience for our out-of-town guests.It was not just about planning a wedding but it was about curating an event. The NICE DAY team understood our priorities, which reflected in their vendor recommendations for us.Because we were out of town, we relied heavily on their expertise on local vendor.
In the end if it was not for the NICE DAY team our wedding would not have created the lasting memories that we have.
As the father of the bride I can heartily suggest Nice Day. I was impressed from day one with the planning worksheets. I was able to keep track of budgeting. The formats were perfe...
ct and timelines were so helpful!
What a great wedding, all thanks to Hily and her pose’.
We were so excited when our youngest daughter (who lives in New York) got engaged and wanted a New Orleans wedding!
We live in Houma and love New Orleans. Nice Day was the perfect...
match, they are professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with because they are so detail oriented.
The wedding was WONDERFUL and UNIQUE. Hily and her staff were like hummingbirds, swooping in and creating the absolutely most perfect ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. BRAVO!!!

I don't even know where to begin! We had a bit of a non-traditional wedding and I almost didn't go with a planner because I wasn't sure anyone would get the vibe. After the first c...
all with Hily, I knew it would be a perfect match. These gals are CREATIVE and FUN. There were so many special details they added at the end and when I look back at the pictures it's such a delight to see all the love they put into every aspect. This team has their finger on the pulse of cool AND they were conscious of cost along the way.
I recommend giving them a vision and letting them run with it so their creativity shines.
Aside from the fun stuff -- they kept the train on the track the day of the wedding and I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. Now I'm just sad the wedding is over and I don't have a reason to call or email :)
Nice day did an amazing job on our event and really created an unparalleled environment for our guests to celebrate with us. Every suggestion they made, every vendor they brought ...
in (food, decor, bar, location) was unique and best in class. We couldn’t have had a better experience working with them and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone planning an event.
I was recommended Hily and ended up hiring her largely based on the amazing reviews that I read here. It was the best decision my fiance and I made regarding our wedding! I had "re...
alistic" hopes for my wedding and Hily just blew them out of the water. Everything was beautiful but beautiful in a way that was uniquely us, I genuinely can't think of a single thing I would have changed. Hily walked us through every step of the process and accommodated all of our nontraditional desires in such a stunning fashion all within our budget. Our wedding was three months ago and I am still getting comments about it, I wish I could take any of the credit but honestly, it was all Hily! I can't recommend her enough!
Our experience with HTNO was great! We utilized their services for day-of coordination, and they were super communicative and responsive in the weeks leading up to that as well.
...
Because we were doing so much of the planning ahead of time ourselves, we wanted to be sure that we were in good hands the day of, and that our vision would be executed. HTNO's team has an eye for detail and they are good listeners, and we felt great about leaving the day to them.
Our wedding day turned out to be stormy, which was romantic, beautiful and VERY STRESSFUL. HTNO handled the situation with great tenacity, and ran around in ponchos making sure everything was exactly as it should be. We would've been in a bad situation without their help, to say the least. We're so, so glad we hired HTNO. They made it happen!
Hily and her team were amazing at executing our (out of the box) vision and were a dream to work with.
Hiring Hily was one of the first decisions we made after getting engaged and the best one we ever could have made. Right from the beginning she was able to understand what we were ...
going for and take my vague half ideas and turn it into more than I could have ever imagined. Throughout the entire planning process she was incredibly patient and kind and always made me feel that no matter what popped up along the way we were covered. Hily is way more than a planner and I am so grateful she and Katie were a part of our wedding. One of my favorite memories from our reception is when Hily and I went around the venue and she pointed out every detail and everything that we had spent over a year planning and dreaming of. It made me really take in the moment and I loved every single part of our day. Could never have done it without HTNO!
When they tell you "something always goes wrong" you do not expect the venue to cancel 5 days before the wedding. This is what happened at my daughter's September 2015 wedding. Bu...
t due to the cool and creative talents of Hily Trowbridge, 400 guests were redirected to a space which Hily and her crew transformed from an unfinished warehouse to a sparkling wonderland. Nothing was left to chance, details were all attended, ceremony and reception proceeded without a hitch. Literally the best wedding I've ever been to! After this experience, I can reassure anyone that Hily's talent for ensuring your dream wedding will not be deterred by any crisis, large or small. Forever in her debt.
When you hire Hily you get more than just a wedding planner. She is not only insanely creative, she is able to patiently listen to all your rambling ideas and bring them into focus...
. She was attentive and calm at every stage of the wedding planning process. She was able to take my small budget...and deliver a magical ethereal bayou wedding without cutting noticeable corners.
Hily is a rare find because she is both crafty, artistic and at the same time highly organized and appears calm and rested. On nights I was sure she didn’t get a lot of sleep, from all the physical work she was doing for me, she was so pleasant and easy going. She handmade my beautiful invitations, mailed them, designed my decorations and did I add she is a floral genius?!
I live out on the West Coast so I wasn’t able to plan very much in person. She took it upon herself to fight my wedding battles with vendors, get me deals, answer every email and held video conference calls as often as I needed.
Hily and her team made me feel so special and really believed in my vision. I owe so much of my special day to her. How many people can be dream makers for their job? In short, Hily is someone you want to share in champagne giggles with over rainbow cake for years to come. If I didn’t love my husband so much, I’d get divorced so that she could plan my wedding again!
Both my husband and I agree: Hily was a lifesaver. When I first began wondering if we needed a wedding planner, both my husband and mom said that they thought we could handle the d...
etails of our small wedding on our own. The truth was, we were completely clueless, and I was clinging to my "The Knot" timeline for dear life.
I took a chance after a coworker told me that I could either facilitate my wedding, or take part in it, and hiring Hily was hands down, THE BEST money we spent on our wedding . As a type A-person, I really need to witness a certain level of expertise to fully let go of the reins. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, both Fred and I were super stressed with wrapping things up at work and having family come to town, but never once did I bat an eye about the wedding itself. Hily was on top of it from day one, calling me to talk through stressful situations and steering me away from some major DIY nightmares. She helped me through what could have been some terrible last-minute fiascos, and her support actually helped us SAVE a ton of money: when our first caterer flaked out, she made numerous calls and helped us open communication with one that ended up being both great and a lot cheaper than our original choice.
HTNO Events also did our flowers, and after I sent Hily multiple, contradictory links of my "wedding inspirations," she was somehow able to get all the chaos out of my head and into real life.
The result was the absolute wedding of my dreams. I could not have asked for anything more beautiful or for more friendly, professional, and organized coordinators. On the day of, all I had to focus on was meeting my husband down the aisle. I would absolutely recommend HTNO Events!
I am so thankful for the communication and detailed attention that Hily put into my daughter's wedding! From our first planning meeting through the days even after the wedding, ...
she took responsibility to see that vendors followed through and that everyone was enjoying the wedding and the reception. Most of all my daughter and her new husband were at the top of her list to please. Thanks to her dedication and prioritizing it was certainly the best day EVER!
Throughout the planning process, Hily listened and truly understood what we were looking for. Our wedding could not have been more "us." From thinking of the smallest (yet very imp...
ortant) details, to making sure I didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day, Hily was calm, classy and oh-so organized. She also has a stunning aesthetic and fantastic connections. I would absolutely recommend Hily to plan your wedding, event...or whatever you're looking for!
Hily was the wedding planner for my son's wedding in NOLA in 2013. Not only was she efficient, detailed, organized, and creative, she was cool, calm, and delightful to be around. T...
he wedding was so special and beautiful. The video was truly amazing professionally edited and capturing the true flavor of New Orleans.
Hily planned my wedding in October 2013. She was available for every step of the way, from food and beverage selection and budgeting, setting up floral appointments, decor, coordin...
ation of rehearsal and dinner... pretty much everything she worked with me hand in hand. The best part about working with Hily is her attention to the small things, the little details. I knew my day was going to be perfect because she had ALL of my requests written and organized and ready to go for the day of. It was sooooo nice to be able to completely focus on getting ready the day of and not have to worry about the venue or decorations or anything like that. Hily did a wonderful job on our wedding and I can't recommend her enough!
