Olivia was by far the best decision we made in our wedding journey. We booked Olivia in June of 2022 for our July 2023 reception of roughly 110 guests at Hamswell House near Bath. I’m from Hawai’i, and my husband and I were also planning a wedding for our friends and family on O’ahu on top of working full-time. Olivia took so much of the stress off our hands.
Having worked with a wedding planner for our Hawai’i wedding as well, I am so confident in saying that Olivia is an absolute exceptional wedding planner who went above and beyond expectations both in the planning process and during the event itself. Some of the things that really stood out to us:
1) Very well organized and on top of the details. Olivia inspired and earned our trust from the beginning by being on top of the details, whether an upcoming bill, a decision to make, a small note we’d made weeks before, Olivia never missed a beat.
2) Really reduced the workload on the couple. Planning a wedding is full of many details big and small, and it could easily get overwhelming. Olivia helped take care of so much of the small stuff, so we were able to spend time thinking about the bigger things or the things and details that were important to us.
3) Excellent set of vendor recommendations. We were more than delighted with all our wedding vendors that came with Olivia’s recommendations. She is very experienced with weddings in the South West and was able to find the right vendors for the wedding we wanted.
4) Kept us up to date. There’s so much going on around a wedding and Olivia did a super job of keeping us well informed and helping us prioritize what we need to focus on.
5) Attention to detail and execution. The flow of the event was absolute perfection, both a result of Olivia’s excellent, thoughtful, and detailed planning and her hard work on the day to make sure all went well. She went above and beyond once again when one of our elderly guests needed some extra attention and made sure that the bride and groom could continue the day with their minds at ease. The kindness and respect she showed the guest was so much appreciated!
Most of all she never lost sight of the fact that it was a wedding and made us feel like the most special couple all throughout the process, whether in the little cards she’d send, small gifts, thoughtful emails about things not wedding related at all, and her warm and kind spirit ran through the whole process.
