The planner you never knew you needed :)

From the initial consult to the actual event, Noelle was an absolute BEAST! In all the best ways! We discussed our vision at the start and Noelle found us truly the best vendors in the business - from harpist, to dj, to photographer, to florist, stationer, seriously, nothing was forgotten or missed. She also helped us elevate our event with additional vendors we wouldn't have thought of - such as a cigar roller and a Fotio photo booth that our guests raved about. It was very important to me to have someone who was detail oriented and could help guide us, calm our nerves and allow us to really enjoy our day. We were constantly kept aware of timelines throughout the year leading up to our event all the way up to a day-of timeline so I didn't feel constantly stressed. Weddings can be overwhelming but by having OFW involved it made it 10000000% easier! I look forward to working with Noelle on future events!

The best decision



We worked with Noelle on our wedding at 167 Green Street in June 2025. It was so easy to work with Noelle and the OFW team - they were organized, INCREDIBLY responsive, deeply experienced, and a pleasure for all our vendors to work with. It was clear from every interaction that Noelle knows what she’s doing and we would not have to worry about executing any of the details - we just left it up to her.

We booked OFW for coordination about a year prior to our wedding, and throughout the year, Noelle sent various resources (like a list of decor she keeps stocked, vendor gratuity guidelines, and random little ideas for our wedding) that were so helpful and made us feel like we had all our bases covered. She thought of every detail before I could even think to ask the question. I have no doubt that Noelle could plan a wedding in her sleep.

The actual wedding day was coordinated flawlessly by Noelle and her team, and I didn’t hear about a single issue - I don’t think we even had a single issue - because Noelle had planned everything so well. The entire team was so friendly and excited for us. Family members kept coming up to me afterwards saying how much they loved Noelle - I have no idea how she had time to spend to talk to my family, but she charmed them all! We will forever have incredible memories of our wedding day, thanks to Noelle and OFW.

15/10 for OFW!

Our wedding was the perfect day thanks to the creativity, organization, and overall competency of Olivia from Olive Fine Weddings!!

I had a very distinct vision for our wedding that I had been meticulously planning over the course of ~18 months. Enter our fabulous coordinator, Olivia. Olivia seamlessly understood my vision and got to work cinching everything together in the last mile. Her expertise in the wedding industry shone through at every turn - there was nothing she couldn't fix and no silly question she couldn't answer. Trust me when I say you're going to want OFW in your corner when the little things go wrong on your wedding day - they will take care of the problem before you ever know it happened! Can't recommend them enough. Do yourself a favor and hire Olive Fine Weddings for all your wedding planning/coordinating needs!!

Can't recommend enough!

My husband and I worked with Olive Fine Weddings & Events for our December wedding and could not be happier that we did! Noelle started working with us around 8 weeks before the wedding, and her organization and diligence made the weeks leading up to the wedding so much less stressful! Noelle created an extensive timeline for the wedding day and had great recommendations for us around the timing of our reception, the best spot for guests to enter the cocktail hour, and even possible locations for photos in the event of bad weather. She really thought of everything, and we never once felt like anything was unaccounted for. On the day of the wedding, Noelle and her assistants did a great job of keeping everyone on schedule, setting everything up for the cocktail hour and reception, and keeping myself and my husband calm and confident that everything was under control. We are so glad that we worked with Olive Fine Events and feel so grateful for all the hard work Noelle and her team put into the day. You cannot go wrong with this team!

BEST Decision in Wedding Planning!

Olivia (& Olive Fine) is 100% the best decision I made in my entire wedding planning process (besides my husband, obviously!) We worked with Olivia for 4 years, through an already long engagement and 4 COVID postponements and we hit the Wedding Planner Jackpot. I had a specific vision in mind for our day, and details were important to me. Olivia took the time to listen to my vision (which changed a lot throughout 4 years!), and support its execution from all the large things (e.g. catering, timeline) to small (e.g. she listened to me debate which chairs to rent for probably 2 years, and switch the napkin colors 5 times up until the 11th hour without even batting an eye). She does all of these things with nothing but joy and passion for her job, and it just radiates so much that it pours unto others. Nothing is too unimportant (even the napkins) because she realizes that it's all part of the vision. She is empathetic, kind, professional, and personable, kept me on track when I was unmotivated, and walked alongside us when we navigated date change after date change to accommodate our international guests. She strikes a delicate balance between creative vision and practicality; She makes all of her couples feel special and like they're #1 on her priority list. She answered all my rogue questions, supported my unconventional ideas while still being realistic, and guided my decision-making without bias, but gave her opinion when I asked. I pine for her spreadsheet and timeline making skills, and hope to one day emulate them (a girl can dream). She is servant-hearted (check out her work with Wish Upon a Wedding)! And most of all, she just LOVES love. I've never met anyone so full of hope for extraordinary love as Olivia.

Throughout it all, our wedding day was so smooth and stress-free because we knew that everything was safe in Olivia's hands. Part of me is sad that our wedding planning is over because I won't wake up to an email in my inbox from Olivia every day ;) But I'm happy to share her with all the future Olive Fine couples, because they deserve it. By hiring Olivia/Olive Fine, you're guaranteed a #1 cheerleader, and an extended family member for life. We love Olivia!

Wonderful 6-8 Week Coordination with Ashley!

We did the Coordination package (assistance for about 6 weeks before the wedding, including with creating a timeline, being the contact point for vendors leading up to the wedding, and lots of day-of help) for our November 2021 wedding with Ashley Best as our coordinator. We didn't initially plan to use a coordinator, but out venue required at least day-of coordination, and we are so glad they did because Ashley and the Olive Fine team were 100% worth it!! We planned our wedding in about 4.5 months, so it was extremely helpful having Ashley keep us organized and help us figure out everything we needed to do leading up to the big day. Ashley was friendly, communicative, organized and overall just wonderful to work with. On the day of the wedding, Caitlin was also really amazing -- she went with us for pictures between our church ceremony and the reception, and she went truly above and beyond (even helping divert traffic to get a great bridge shot!). Both Ashley and Caitlin, and the whole Olive Fine team, really helped make the day go off without a hitch. We are so grateful and would highly recommend to any couple!

Amazing experience!

I could go on and on with how amazing it was to work with Olivia and her team for our wedding day! She was easily the best decision we made when it came to planning. We used Olivia as our day-of coordinator and she went above and beyond to make our day so seamless and perfect. My husband and I had the best day and felt like we didn’t have to worry about anything. Olivia created a detailed and thorough timeline to make our day run very smoothly.. Whether it was contacting our vendors and making sure all emails were answered in a timely manner, transferring things to and from the venue, or just providing reassurance to us, she was amazing during the whole process! I would definitely recommend her services!!

Planning a wedding? Book Olivia before you do anything else!

Olivia and I happen to be friends from college and the moment I got engaged to my fiancé and wanted to plan our wedding in the town we went to school in, I knew I had to call her to be our day of coordinator. Boy, am I so glad I did. Her planning skills are beyond incredible and as a fellow planner, she is the only person I would trust to handle my wedding day - that's how high my praise is of her. Despite only being our day of coordinator and not full time wedding planner, Olivia was always on hand to answer questions from day 1, providing helpful insight and recommendations whenever needed. When we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, Olivia was extremely flexible and supportive in our decision. Then, when the day finally came, Olivia just blew our expectations out of the water completely. She created an unbelievable timeline for the big day, coordinating communication with all of our vendors and made sure everyone was ready to go, and was present to help with all of the little details as soon as her plane landed in Ithaca - whether that be going to the dollar store to pick up serving trays for our welcome party or driving my own mother to and from her hotel to pick up assorted wedding decorations - you name it, Olivia was ready to assist. On the day of the wedding, Olivia made sure that all fires were put out seamlessly so that I could enjoy myself thoroughly. We had a big issue with our caterer being majorly delayed with servings courses on the night of the wedding, and Olivia made sure to step in and shift the timeline around so that the guests could be entertained by speeches and dances and that no one would have to notice. It was the best day of our lives and we owe it all to Olivia!

Ashley was the most amazing coordinator!

We hired Olive Fine Weddings for our wedding because the owner, Olivia, graduated from the same college as me and we had some mutual friends. What I didn't realize at the time, was that this was going to be one of the best decisions we made in our entire wedding planning process.

We booked the coordination package and could not have been happier with this decision. We had to postpone our wedding due to covid and by the time we realized we would be able to have our full event, we were only about 10 weeks out. We had most of our vendors booked, but none of the details were nailed down, so I was freaking out. When Ashley stepped in to get started (8 weeks out), it was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I am pretty sure Ashley saved my life. She was so encouraging that things were in a good spot and immediately made me feel better.

Ashley took over communications with all vendors and was so organized to make sure we had all the details in place. Due to her amazing planning and coordination, our event went off without a hitch. Literally not one. We had the most perfect night and nothing went wrong. And we have Ashley to thank for that!!

Definitely hire Olive Fine Weddings for your event and ask for Ashley!

Wedding Planner for an Anxious Bride

Olivia is not just a wedding planner, but a friend throughout the whole process. She not only listened to everything we told her but she carried everything out flawlessly. I NEVER felt rushed or stressed throughout the entire day because Olivia took care of everything. She was a rock throughout the whole process and made sure that all emails were answered and all boxes were checked without hassling either of us during the process.
I think she is the best money we spent for the entire experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Olivia celebrated her wedding at the Treman center last summer 2017. We agreed to do a much larger wedding than we had ever done before because we were so confident that Olivia's expertise in event planning would assure a great success, and indeed it was. It was multi-faceted with the support of many vendors but it was truly Olivia's attention to detail and supreme organizational skills that made it all work so well. I highly recommend her for your event.
