Our story
About Us
We are a team of dancers, planners, and romantics united by one belief: every love story deserves to be told beautifully.
How it began
Born from a love of love
Happilee Wed was founded in 2018 by Maya Chen, a professional dancer who kept being asked by engaged friends: “Can you help us with our first dance?” What started as a favour quickly became a calling.
Today, Happilee Wed is a full-service wedding choreography and event planning studio. We've had the honour of celebrating over 500 couples — helping each one feel completely at home in their own wedding day.
We are based in San Francisco and work with couples across California and beyond.
What guides us
Our Values
Intentional
Every detail we design has a purpose. We don't do cookie-cutter weddings — we craft experiences that are deeply personal to you.
Graceful
Whether choreographing a first dance or managing a 200-person reception, we move through every moment with calm, elegance, and warmth.
Joyful
We love what we do. That love shows in the care we bring to every couple, every rehearsal, and every perfect moment we help create.
