Olivia made our wedding a dream come true and we absolutely could not have achieved the night we had without her. On our first phone call Olivia gave us a breakdown of what we could expect from her and we immediately knew we needed her by our side. We turned to Olivia for questions, for inspiration, for peace of mind and for a friendly face when things got crazy. She isn’t kidding when she says she’ll never get tired of talking about your wedding. I’m someone who loves lists and visuals and Olivia helped keep our planning organized and running smoothly. Our wedding weekend arrived and Olivia was right there with us making sure everyone understood the assignment. We feel like we didn’t have to think on our wedding day; Olivia did that for us. She was with us from the moment the day started until we shut down the dance floor offering guidance and feeling like another close friend on our big day. I feel emotional from the gratitude we have for her. If you want your wedding to be the best day ever you should work with Olivia.

Olivia and her team are the absolute best! We got married on the Cape, but live in California and she made long distance wedding planning a breeze.She was great with managing family dynamics, bridal parties, vendors, details, everything. As far as I know, our wedding day had 0 issues because she never bothered me with the minor issues.

She was supportive of our vision and an easy person to talk to. I could not recommend her more highly.

We spoke with 20+ wedding planners before picking Brent Events and I don't think you can find a better person to plan your wedding.

The Farmers Table from start to finish made my dream wedding come true. The attention to detail, to the pleasant staff I couldn’t have been happier. Olivia made me feel important and she was a great listener. She offered wonderful suggestions and always told me it would all be okay. I would recommend them for any event. I was thankful I found her and her team.

Olivia and her team were phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about them. They were incredible to work with. Best decision I made in the wedding planning process!! They made us feel so comfortable and special from the beginning (and throughout the process); I knew we were in great hands. Olivia herself was booked the day of our wedding, so her colleague, Emily Merrifield, was our day-of planner. They recommended amazing vendors, always responded promptly to our many questions with thoughtful answers, sourced beautiful decor items for us so we didn't have to be responsible for bringing extra items, and of course, coordinated with the vendors. They came to our initial venue meeting and asked all the questions of the venue that we didn't know to think of. Their app helped with seating charts and payment reminders among other helpful things. The day of couldn't have gone more smoothly. Emily and her team did a phenomenal of job of making sure everything was in its place at each part of the day. She even came to the bridal suite and steamed our dresses. Their efforts allowed me to have a stress-free, beautiful day. All of our friends and family had an amazing time and that's in large part to the organization, professionalism, and kindness of Emily.

(Even if your venue has an on-site coordinator, definitely book a planner - our hotel venue went through 3 wedding coordinators and Emily was what kept everything seamless. A planner is able to focus 100% of their efforts on you compared to the venue, which has many other responsibilities.)

I am a control freak, and thought I needed to do everything to make our vision for our wedding come to life. Olivia and her team showed me otherwise. From the rehearsal, when they showed up early to go through details (all of which they had already memorized), they let me sit back and watch the pros do the work. I've never worked with anyone so organized and structed, but at the same time creative and flexible to deal with any challenge that came their way. From last minute seating plan chaos, to my bouquet disappearing right before walking down they aisle, I never worried, stressed, or had to think about anything other than having fun. I am still stunned at the execution and attention to detail. Everything, every little moment, decoration, and setting change was perfect. I wouldn't even be surprised if they were the ones who told the weather to cooperate.

Olivia was a wonderful wedding planner and was there to help with every aspect of the planning from the start. It is an understatement to say that planning a wedding on the Cape while living out-of-state can be quite stressful, but Olivia and her team not only made it work, they made it an absolute pleasure. It is her creativity, openness, and excitement that really stood out to us. She is passionate about her job, takes joy in all the details that go into the planning, and is extremely creative in customizing every facet of the wedding day, from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception. She even came up with the brilliant idea to do a speakeasy (brainstorming and ordering all the accoutrement that come with it) upon deciding that the reception would be themed to the 1920s! And even then, when we expressed that we did not want it to be a Gatsby-like cliché, she understood us immediately and made sure that the reception was a perfect balance of the Cape and an art deco-styled garden party. Just as important as the style, care, and creativity that went into planning a wedding, Olivia is someone who is conscientious about her clients’ budget. It was clear to us from day one that she is so flexible to a point where she can plan extravagant, maximalist Cape style weddings to ones that are intimate, fun, and thematized budget weddings—and she is free of judgment throughout. Many guests expressed just how incredible our wedding was (during and after): a perfect balance of elegance and warmth, both ornate and graceful, personal and intimate. Even though she had another wedding to coordinate on the same day, she still came to ours towards the end. This truly is a sign of commitment and personal, emotional investment in her couples. We have Olivia to thank for everything.

We also had the pleasure of working closely with another member of the Brent Events team Emily who was the most perfect and professional planner and day-of-coordinator. Her communications were clear and concise, and she was always the kindest and most generous soul in the room. She responds thoughtfully and with deep care, without taking offense to my directness and remembering our conversations so she knew exactly what we were referring to at a later date. She not only brings heart and warmth, but also acumen, intuition, and quick discernment in the way she organizes, communicates, and executes. Always commiserating with me when I had concerns—and always from the heart so much so that I could not bear to say anything more--and an absolute joy to work with, I felt we were in good hands and felt completely free of all the worries that come with being a bride leading up to the wedding and on the day of. In other words, Emily had my utmost trust, perhaps the most important aspect of this professional relationship. We consider ourselves extremely lucky that Emily was there for us on the day of, making sure everything ran smoothly when emotions ran high. I will never forget how sweet and considerate she was, greeting us privately after the ceremony with our signature cocktails in hand and bringing me hors d’oeuvres and an assortment of seafood from the raw bar, when I was away from the site to change into my other gown for reception. She was like a clairvoyant who knew exactly what we wanted and needed at exactly the right time. Emily is genuinely a wonderful person and is meticulous in everything she does. She also has impeccable taste and gave us invaluable feedback on the printables. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have shared our special day with her and she will forever be in our hearts, not least because we will have memories of getting married at the same venue some years apart!

The Brent Events team is incredible and very passionate about what they do. They take every facet of the planning and execution seriously. With calm and quickness, they saved us from a few blunders we made (like when I unknowingly sent our programs to the wrong address and when I forgot a big check in a tote bag that no one could find easily on the day of). I think the only thing we noticed towards the end is that they are so passionate about their job that at very rare times, perhaps once or twice, a minor complaint about a vendor or an innocent inquiry was interpreted as a serious accusation. In our case, it was really more the unintentional or innocent mistakes of a few vendors than of the planners themselves, who had little control over the situation other than to communicate professionally with and mediate between their vendors and clients about what might have happened, without being defensive, and to provide some kind of emotional solace for things that cannot be controlled or changed. A heartfelt apology is everything; so is having patience with clients’ complaints and demands. If we didn’t trust them, we wouldn’t even bother to complain but rather take it up with the vendor ourselves. We interpret a few of these rare experiences as a sign of the Brent Events team’s seriousness and passion about every detail and aspect of their profession, which is ultimately what a couple should want--and absolutely need--in their wedding planner. After all, it is much more preferable to have a wedding planner who cares too much than too little.

We would highly recommend the Brent Events team. We had quite a few friends in the wedding party who were getting married around the same time and they had had horrific experiences with their wedding planners. This was not our experience. Olivia and Emily were with us every step of the way and made the wedding day so special. In the end, that is all that counts.

Olivia and her team are an absolute gift to any couple who is looking to pull off the wedding of their dreams! When we kicked off the wedding planning process, we knew we wanted full coordination planning so we started looking into our options. Our first call was with Olivia, and we never looked back. The decision was EASY, and we are so thankful to have had her in our corner on the wedding planning journey. Wedding planning is intimidating, and we had a vision that we had no clue how to execute… enter Olivia!! She takes your word vomit of hopes and dreams, puts them to paper, and makes them all happen while making sure it is within your budget. I don’t have enough characters in this review to speak about how highly my husband and I think of her – no task is too small, nor too big and she is REAL with you through it all. We appreciated her level of communication on things to us on a need-to-know basis. She clued us in on info as we needed to make decisions or things were changing, but she also knew when just to keep moving and not bother us with things she didn’t need to. Every single vendor she recommended was fantastic and not only did they all do a great job, but they all also spoke so highly of their experience working with her and how great the Brent Events team was. The band said they were true MVPS pulling off heroic feats and making it all happen behind the scenes – that is the sign of a great planner if you ask me. Not only do we have rave reviews to share as bride and groom, but every vendor or person who crossed paths with Olivia has expressed the exact same sentiment. Our wedding was logistically complicated with a lot of moving pieces but the trust that we built with Olivia through the 10 months of planning shined bright on our wedding day. With bad weather and last-minute changes, as the bride, I never felt better or more at peace than on my wedding day and trusting that Olivia would do what it takes to get the job done and do it well. Amongst all the other incredible work she does, the best part of working with her is that she cares deeply about her couples and brings their vision to life. We felt that each step of the way and continue to feel it in the weeks following our wedding as we look back and reminisce. We can't recommend Olivia enough for all your planning needs!

We hired The Farmer's Table to cater one of the most special days in our life...our wedding day. After considering a variety of different options, my wife and I chose the Famer's Table as the best option for catering our wedding of 120 guests. Our first meeting with Olivia proved to be the catalyst which ensured the success of the festivities. She was self assured, competent and promised that she could make our wedding reception the special occasion that it is meant to be...and she delivered in spades! She had many ideas and a variety of food options that were unique and interesting as well as tasty. Olivia's staff was courteous, efficient and helpful...we did not worry about anything...it was all covered. We had many complementary remarks from our guests. Overall, we believe that the reception is all about the food...The Farmer's Table proved to be the right choice for us. We would highly recommend The Farmer's Table for anyone looking for a really good caterer.

The Farmers Table catered my daughter's wedding on Cape Cod in July.
The meal of braised short ribs, almond crusted white fish, parsnip mashed potatoes and root vegetables served family style was absolutely delicious. We have received many compliments from our guests. Also, the appetizers were excellent.
As much as the food was 5 star, the service was 10 star. A group of young, professional staff served the meal with competence and kindness. They were awesome and I wish I could thank each and every one of them.
Thank you Olivia for making this very special occasion even more special!

We hired Olivia as our day-of-coordinator and also to plan and organize transportation to and from the venue and the reception. We highly recommend her to any couples looking for a highly organized wedding planner/coordinator.

Our day and timeline was so smooth, and it’s entirely due to Olivia and her team. At our first meeting in person, Olivia showed up with a binder with everything about us, including our Pinterest board completely printed out. In each meeting, Olivia asked us the right questions to get us thinking about what we needed to have done. She also made sure we were sticking to our budget.

She also did a fabulous job handling all aspects of our transportation, from talking to and pricing the transportation companies, to coming up with a list of potential shuttle services and their costs. This was the part that I was not looking forward to planning myself, and Olivia took that responsibility and delivered a great shuttle company within our budget!

On the day of the wedding, Olivia and her team kept everything on schedule. All of our vendors knew where to be and the day went without a hitch! We would not have been able to plan a wedding this smooth and organized without Olivia and her team!
