About

Based in Pittsburgh, but willing to travel anywhere, Olive & Rose Events knows how to throw a great party. Led by Kimberly, this team of planners has over three decades worth of experience planning, designing and executing the most memorable, sophisticated and well-thought out events and weddings.

We pride ourselves on ensuring a high level of service is delivered to each and every couple we work with. Olive & Rose Events is well respected in the wedding community and that is largely due to the fact that we view every wedding and event as a team effort.

We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a message and we can hop on a call to learn more about one another!

A bit more about our approach to weddings and events:

Modern: Traditions are great, but we are bigger fans of doing your wedding your way!

Chic: Clean design is our specialty. This means every detail is thought out, every element has a purpose - from the linens to the florals to the signage - we tell your story.

Memorable: We love scrolling Pinterest as much as the next person, but we’d much rather think outside the box and come up with ways to make your event uniquely you.

November 2024 Month-of Coordination

We hired Olive & Rose Events for month-of coordination for our November 2024 wedding. We had planned most of the wedding ourselves and were just looking for someone to be the main point of contact on the day of the wedding and make sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan. Kim was that and so much more! Kim has so much experience with weddings and knows what questions to ask or what details may be overlooked. She coordinated donation of our florals and set up final meetings with all of our vendors to ensure we were all on the same page prior to the wedding day. She put together a detailed timeline so everyone involved knew where to be and when. Our day went so smoothly in large part to Kim and her team. We were able to relax and enjoy our wedding day with confidence in Kim and her team to make decisions and execute all of our planning. Kim is also so friendly and easy to work with. We definitely recommend Olive & Rose Events and Kim. Thanks for everything Kim!

Olive & Rose is a Wedding Must!!!

Kim and Olive & Rose literally made our dream wedding become a reality! We interviewed a few wedding planners and immediately knew after speaking with Kim we had to have her as our “month of coordinator”. Kim met with us in-person and virtually for months before to make sure we were on track and didn’t miss a single thing! She was able to give us vendor recommendations, has fabulous taste and experience which gave us valuable opinions in the endless decisions wedding planning includes, and truly made the planning process so enjoyable. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone any better. Myself, husband and family could be so relaxed and fully present throughout the day knowing we had Kim handling our timeline, vendor coordinations, and making our reception room/details an absolute dream. Hiring Kim was hands down my husband & I’s best decision in wedding planning and we could not recommend her and her team enough!!

Best first decision

When my husband and I got engaged the first vendor we looked for was a planner. We wanted someone who we could trust with our wants/needs, match us the vendors who matched our personality, and handled everything with care. And we got that with Kim! From the minute we had our first call to the very last moments of the wedding night Kim was right there with us making sure we were her top priority. There would be no way we would have had nearly half of the fantastic vendors we ended up hiring (photographer, venue, florist, etc.) without Kim and her guidance. Thank you Kim for making our day a dream and making the planning process a fun, engaging and seamless experience for us!

P.S. Small tidbit, we knew Kim was the one when we went to our multiple venue tours and EVERY vendor, event planner, etc. knew who she was and was happy to see her!

Perfect coordinator for the perfect wedding day!

Kim (Olive and Rose) is a stud in the wedding planning and coordinating scene of Pittsburgh. She was exactly what we needed to ensure our wedding vision was carried out and executed. Her personality was always helpful and positive and we (bride and groom) were in sync with her from the beginning. If you're thinking about whether to spend the money on a planner, coordinator, or skip this entirely; talk to Kim for a consult and see what she can share. We were very budget conscious and enjoyed planning our special day, but it takes a weight off your shoulders to have a point person for the day of your wedding. Kim worked with us starting about 6 weeks before the wedding day, and helped us stay organized and on top of everything along the way. Her experience shined through as she knew which vendors and suppliers were reliable and who we should watch out for. She made recommendations when asked and her input elevated the decoration and coordination of the day to the next level. She brought energy and enthusiasm to everything and has a great personality to go along with it. We enjoyed working with her, and notably, all the other vendors we used also enjoyed working with her. She participates on calls and is the backup and "muscle" in tough conversations. Her expertise with contracts and wedding details makes her irreplaceable. She's worth twice her fee, so grab her while she has availability. Her organization skills will make any day go off without a hitch and is the perfect antidote to any bridezilla/groomzilla :-)

One of my best wedding planning decisions!

I hired Olive & Rose for month-of coordination for my August 2022 wedding, and I could not be more thankful that I did! I worked with Susy, and she started working with me about 6 weeks before my wedding, right as I was starting to burn out on wedding planning. She pulled together a meticulous timeline, contacted every vendor and finalized any last minute details that were stressing me out, and provided essential encouragement in those final weeks. Susy is an amazing, genuine, sweet, and talented coordinator, and I was so grateful to be able to work with her. Unfortunately she got sick the week of my wedding and was no longer able to work the day of, but she SEAMLESSLY passed the baton to Shelby, who was absolutely incredible and managed our wedding rehearsal and wedding day with absolute perfection. The whole experience made me so glad that I had hired a coordinator from such a professional, established company, because I didn't have a single concern when Susy got sick that I would be left in the dark. Shelby stepped in and knew exactly what I needed, and on the wedding day my whole bridal party was so impressed with her - they were shocked that we hadn't been working with her for my whole engagement! I highly recommend Olive & Rose - they are simply the best!!!

Museumlab Perfectly Paired Pop Up Wedding!

I worked with Kim from Olive and Rose Events for our Pop Up wedding on Valentine's day this year. We had a WONDERFUL experience. I had never heard of a pop-up wedding before and after discussing with Kim, we could not pass up this opportunity. She arranged a package of some amazing vendors at Museum Lab, which included a cake by Mediterra Bakery, florals by Blue Daisy, photography by Talia Nelson, our officiant Mark DeNuzzio from A Simple Vow, live stream from Rodger Obley, and bar service for a very affordable cost. The best part is that there was very little planning and stress on my end and I got to get married sooner! Kim is very professional, quick to respond, helpful, and overall we had an amazing experience. My husband and I had always wanted a small intimate ceremony and I could not have dreamed of a better one. Even though we had about a month to plan it, Kim kept us on track and arranged meetings with vendors to ensure the day went smoothly. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose this Pop-Up wedding every single time! It was truly a pleasure to work with her and be the first Perfectly Paired couple!

Kim is AMAZING!!! Run, don't walk to hire her now :)

I have to give so many props to my day of coordinator Kim Allera from Olive & Rose Events, although let’s be honest, she was way more than just a “day of” coordinator as she was by my side to help during all of the changes and updates and craziness throughout the process. of planning a wedding during 2020. Her attention to detail, positive and professional attitude, and humor makes her a joy to wok with. She makes the stressful times fun and always has amazing suggestions and creative ideas and solutions! Not only all of that, you feel like Kim has your back for you entire big day and is genuinely happy for you (you can even tell she's smiling behind her mask in the attached photo as I walk down the aisle :) )
If you are able to hire a wedding planner (day-of or full-on plan everything) HIRE HER NOW! You’ll be so glad you did!

Kim is the shit!

Kim was amazing!! from start to finish she helped us plan our surprise wedding and coordinated our entire day! Our son was even sick and being a mom herself she helped with him throughout the day too! I am used to taking the lead and making sure everything is handled myself, but I really wanted to enjoy my wedding day and Kim totally allowed me to do that. I trusted her to make sure things were top notch- and they were! 10/10 recommend Kim and her team from Olive & Rose!

Kim was amazing!

Working with Kim was SO FUN! She understood my vision from the beginning and worked with me to create the perfect day. She kept her cool when things started to go wrong on the day of the wedding, and made sure everything got done. I had a blast working with her, and she can definitely help you put together a beautiful event!

The best of the best

I hired Kim to assist with day of coordination for my wedding. I had planned everything and I needed help organizing and planning throughout my wedding day! Kim was absolutely wonderful. From the minute we had our phone call, I knew that I had to hire her. I lived in Florida and was getting married in Pittsburgh and she was extremely responsive with calls, emails, and texts – trust me, I had A LOT of questions. Kim really helped relieve a lot of stress that I had with everything running smoothly the day of. She is a joy to be around, organized, professional, genuine, and offered a piece of mind that all was handled. Also, her timeline is awesome and really helped us stay on track. She even delivered our cards and a plate of cookies to our hotel room. My day was perfect and I enjoyed everything with very little stress thanks to her. I would highly recommend Olive and Rose Events to any bride in need of reliable wedding assistance.
