The best day of coordinators I could ask for!

I don't know where to begin with Pink Olive, we used their day of coordination service and it was the best decision I could have made. Alex and Lexie were assigned to our wedding, and from the moment we started planning they were nothing short of incredible. Alex made the period leading up to the wedding so stress free; she contacted all of our vendors and put together a timeline with every detail we could have ever needed. All of this contributed to making our wedding day relaxing and enjoyable, but that's not even the best part. On the day of our wedding, Alex and Lexie worked their superpowers and turned my backyard into the wedding of my dreams. They pulled everything together - setting up fences, adding flowers to our wedding archway, arranging the table scheme perfectly, coordinating with all the vendors as they arrived to set up, literally everything! It was more perfect than I ever imagined, and a ton of work, but they did it effortlessly. Throughout the wedding they continued working their magic in the background ensuring that our procession went smoothly, my dress was perfect, and all the transitions with vendors went seamlessly. They are so organized and so great at what they do, can't recommend Pink Olive enough!

Look No Further for Day of Coordinators!

I cannot express how amazing Pink Olive Events was for us. Our wedding went off without a hitch in June 2022. We got married in a church and then transitioned to a reception about 20 minutes away. Not only were we provided TWO coordinators (one at the venue making sure everything went smoothly and one at the church) we also were provided (as well as ALL of our vendors) a DETAILED agenda. Even to the MINUTE.

Alex is the BEST and Carissa was such an amazing leader. Alex was with us for the rehearsal and even picked up decorations from us so we wouldn't have to worry about the day of. I was so overly impressed my only regret is that we only hired them for day of coordinating and not the entire thing!

If you are looking for an amazing company, coordinator for day of or otherwise LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

I *highly* recommend Pink Olive Events

Carisa was absolutely amazing to work with. Very detail oriented. She offered different tiers of packages to help with our wedding needs. Her website was easy to use and definitely came in handy with helping me stay organized. She was always so quick to respond back with answers to questions I had. She read through all of our vendor contracts and made sure all vendors were paid timely per their contract deadlines. She was able to coordinate all the vendors together for the day of. She made sure the room we got married in looked perfect before our guests starting arriving. I forgot to bring my wedding earrings and hair accessories to the salon the morning of and she was able to run them by to me. All the groomsmen had their boutonnieres on which she helped some of them with. She handed off thank you cards I wrote ahead of time so all the vendors had them. She helped guests find their way to their tables and anything else they asked her about. She oversaw the entire wedding to make sure everything went on time without a hitch. She is one of a kind! She made the entire process look effortless. She was so calm, cool, and collected while troubleshooting any potential issues without me knowing behind the scenes. She was hands down my favorite person to work with. My husband and I are so grateful for all her help.
