Excellent service! Top notch

I was very pleased with the professionalism and service. I am a nit picker and Kristen made sure my day went great. She was on top of all the vendor requests and if there was a hiccup, I didn't know about it. There were a few sprinkles in the sky and Kristen had umbrellas for the wedding party while taking photos. Small details all taken care of.

Amazing, Wonderful, Fantastic, Etc.

Jill and Kristen were phenomenal! They were so helpful while planning our wedding, and even more amazing on the day of the wedding!! They made the day run so smoothly. If there was a problem, they took care of it and no one ever knew. They made sure our venue looked flawless and even brought the decorations back to our hotel room after the reception so my new husband and I could continue celebrating with our guests. I absolutely LOVED working with them! They are responsive, flexible, and had such a great vision that meshed so well with ours!

Recommendation for Sofie & Olive

It was a pleasure working with Kristen and Jill, the magic behind Sofie & Olive. We don't know what we would have done without you! Kristen and Jill did a fantastic job keeping everything on-time and moving smoothly. I appreciated how they took charge and made decisions. Our guests had a great time, we had a great time! And the room looked great, and we appreciated their extra help with the decor. And for dropping stuff at our house, that was really helpful after these busy days. Thank you thank you!

Kristen and Jill decorated our reception venue BEAUTIFULLY! They met with us during our final walk-through of our reception venue and executed our vision for the space perfectly, truly breathing life into it. Their clever touches with the decorations and their artistic finesse really made a difference – we got TONS of compliments on the attention to detail in our decorations. Kristen and Jill were the perfect solution for us, as we were getting married and doing photos beginning at 1 PM, but we couldn’t get into our reception venue to begin set-up until 2 PM. We had originally planned a very DIY wedding, but Kristen and Jill saved the day by decorating our reception venue for us while staying respectful of our original vision. Plus, they were affordable. We highly recommend!!!

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Kristen and Jill are really lovely and truly a pleasure to work with. They were very flexible with their services, reasonably priced and attentive to us personally, our wedding party and to all the details of our wedding. I felt so much better having them there on the day, so much more relaxed and able to enjoy everything. Our venue looked great and everything flowed really nicely thanks to them. Would highly recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
