Courtney W. Sent on 06/06/2024Best Wedding Planner Ever!!
Finding Olivia was nothing short of a miracle. We're based in New York and had our hearts set on having a Florida wedding. However, after initially hiring a different wedding planner, who completely failed to deliver, we were beginning to question whether a wedding in Florida would even be possible.... then we fortunately found Olivia! From our first introductory conversation, she hit the ground running, offering helpful advice and guiding us even before we had officially hired her. Olivia maintained this proactive and enthusiastic approach throughout the entire process.
Olivia's attention to detail is truly exceptional. She meticulously planned every aspect of our wedding, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. She asked insightful questions and made sure no stone was left unturned throughout the planning process. She anticipated our needs and managed to answer our questions before we even got the chance to ask! Planning a wedding can be incredibly challenging, especially from afar, and we can't imagine how we could have done it without Olivia. Her expertise and local knowledge were invaluable, especially for a destination wedding in the Keys. She managed to wholly capture the vision we had for our wedding day and knew exactly the right vendors to enlist, bringing our dream wedding to life with perfection. However, what sets Olivia apart is her dedication to excellence and the way she really cares for and goes above and beyond for her clients. She not only kept us organized and on track but also adeptly navigated various challenging dynamics, was a source of encouragement and support and ultimately ensured that we were happy and stress-free on our wedding day. She even gave me an incredibly thoughtful gift and wrote us a beautiful note on our wedding day, which meant so much to us and shows how much she truly cares about her clients. Throughout the process, she really took the time to get to know us and understand our needs and her personalized approach made all the difference in creating a wedding that was perfect for us down to the last detail.
Our wedding day was nothing short of epic, and we owe it all to Olivia. She knows how to throw the best party in Florida (possibly anywhere!), and we are so grateful to have had her by our side throughout this process. Everyone we spoke to after the wedding said it was one of the most incredibly fun, magical weddings they've ever been to and it would not have been possible without Olivia. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is not only professional and detail-oriented but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect, Olivia is the one.
Thank you so much Olivia and the whole Frond and Feather team for everything!!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Thanks to you for these amazing words and for trusting us even after your negative experience with another planner. That can be hard. I always say vendor matching with my couples is not unlike "Match making", Im glad you feel we helped you find your perfect matches!! Your wedding was full of so much beauty, from every timeless tradition and ceremonial aspect to the ahhhmazing party. It was a wonderful weekend, thank you for letting me be a part of it with you. -

I am shook 🥺
It’s taken me some time to gather my thoughts on how to phrase this review. I’m sure you, like I was, are reading through these reviews like gospel. Trying to decide what direction you want your wedding to go in. And let me say… STOP RIGHT THERE.
The single most important and valuable decision you will make is on your planner. This will take your day from great to AMAZING. This will take your stress level from high to non existent. This will give you a build in bestie for the next year, two and forever, someone who will take your thoughts and execute it into the most magical day.
Just like others have probably written, people will say.. why aren’t you stressed? And your response will be… “what do I have to be stressed about? I have Olivia.”
When I tell you that working with Olivia was the single most important decision, it’s not an exaggeration. She spoke with all the vendors, set up absolutely everything, organized and reorganized and reorganize everything. I did NADA. This girl will rock your world, your wedding and your life.. and you will end up with most amazing day that you will dream about for forever!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Thank you Anna! This review was worth the wait.. annnnnd, I would not say you did "Nada", give yourself some credit where credit is due :) you were an awesome bride. Miss you already. Can we start planning for your next visit? XOXO Olivia -

Olivia K. Sent on 04/26/2024The Perfect Keys Wedding, thanks to Frond and Feather!
For any bride reading this debating whether or not to work with Frond & Feather, book now and ask for Lisa Giles before another very lucky bride does! My husband (!!) and I live in California and worked with Lisa planning our "destination" wedding in the Keys. She and the F&F team came strongly recommended by every single venue we looked at so we knew we had to book them.
Lisa was simply amazing. So many people told us how stressful wedding planning is and I really cannot explain the level of calm I felt throughout the entire process. Lisa was organized, responsive, and had unbelievable relationships with all of our vendors and she even helped us bring to life our idea of having oyster shuckers at the cocktail hour! Being across the country and as details really started to ramp up, she was so good at keeping us focused and telling us "these are the top 3 things I need from you this week." Everything about the process was absolutely seamless and she put so much love and heart into our wedding weekend.
I said in my vows that Jared was the best thing to happen to me, but Lisa I think was the best thing to happen to us! We are so unbelievably grateful for her professionalism and care giving us the best wedding weekend we could have ever imagined. THANK YOU! -

Our wedding with Frond + Feathers was perfection!
Where do I even start!? I have tears in my eyes just writing this. I cannot recommend Frond + Feathers enough. Olivia and her team went above and beyond in everything that they did. Everyone on the team was so kind and so professional. I loved getting to work with Olivia through the whole planning process and enjoyed every time we spoke. She made sure to listen and understand everything that I wanted for my wedding and she made it all happen. Our wedding day was iffy with the weather and when I say iffy, I mean there were tornado warnings, 20-30mph winds and road closures. I had no idea any of this was happening thanks to this team. The weather ended up clearing and we got to have our outdoor wedding because Olivia had about 7 back up options and was prepared to make a last minute call and I am so grateful for that. We had zero stress throughout the whole planning process and even on our wedding day because we had Olivia. She is kind, professional, a boss at what she does, and just so much fun to work with. I am forever grateful to Olivia and grateful that I have a new lifelong friend.Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Taylor, no idea where to start. Just thankful our paths crossed and Im excited to spend more time with you and your family in the future. Honored to have been by your side, I will never for get our sweet moment together right before you walked down the aisle. It was an absolutely ahhhmazing 3 days, the weather cant ruin moments as special as those! XOXO Olivia -

Rachel S. Sent on 03/03/2024Hands down best choice we made for our wedding
I could write an entire book full of things that I loved about Frond + Feather, specifically Beth. We went with the month of wedding planning service and everything about it was absolutely perfect. Beth provided us a list of recommended vendors in the Florida Keys, which was super helpful since we were planning our wedding from Texas. Every single vendor we worked with from that list was amazing. We had multiple planning calls prior to the month of and during the last month, Beth took over all coordination and communication with the vendors and expertly made our wedding vision come to life. Beth took care of every detail of the wedding day, making everything so stress-free, even bringing me bobby pins to the dance floor when my hair kept blowing in my face. When our wedding day at our outdoor venue looked like it was going to be cold and windy, Beth secured us heathers last minute (literally 3 days before) that were a lifesaver. Beth was incredibly professional, kind, caring, communicative, and personable. She took care of us like we were close friends and guided us through our wedding planning process. The day of the wedding, she was such a calming presence and I knew she would ensure everything would go off without a hitch, even when some of our family went off script and the neighbor complained about the noise level. I genuinely can not say enough great things about Beth and Frond+Feather. If you are even remotely considering hiring a planner, do it. And go with Frond+Feather. I could not imagine our wedding day without Beth. We love her so much.Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Rachel! This review is everything. Thank you. THIS is the reason we do what we do. We truly love our couples and it means the world to hear when they love us back! Building relationships and connection gives meaning to our 'jobs' and we are thankful for awesome couples like you who make that possible. XOXO -

Organized, prepared, and supportive are just a few words I would use to describe Fond & Feathers Events! I booked Olivia 2 years ago and instantly knew I was in good hands. Olivia helped make the wedding of my dreams a reality! Her planning skills are unmatched. I had a lot of specific details I wanted to create and she advocated for me with vendors to ensure everything was just as I envisioned. I had no worries on my wedding day because she killed it behind the scenes. Everything flowed so beautifully! Her team was amazing and helped make the day run smoothly. Booking Frond + Feathers Events was hands down the best decision & investment I made for my wedding day. Thank you Olivia and team for making this day so magical and special!Frond + Feather Events's reply:

Shannon Sent on 02/03/2024Exceptional Team at Frond and Feather!
Frond and Feather, made our wedding planning experience an absolute dream! Olivia's guidance even before signing any contract was invaluable as she spent time with us talking through Key Largo weddings and even helped us select the perfect venue, Baker's Cay. We ultimately chose their wedding coordinator package which was the best investment we made for our wedding. We were partnered with Beth, whose expertise in aligning us with the right vendors to suit our overall vision and budget was exceptional. On the day of the wedding, their team's execution was flawless. They brought our vision to life, meticulously overseeing every detail from working with each vendor to constructing a detailed timeline. Their ability to anticipate needs and coordinate seamlessly made our day stress-free and truly magical. Even though the team plans and executes weddings almost every weekend, the extraordinary care and effort they put into our day, treating it like it was their own, truly felt like family. Choosing Frond and Feather was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding :)Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Thank you Shannon!! Your wedding was so incredibly beautiful, and working alongside you was a dream. Thanks for trusting us and for such a stellar review! XO -

Best day ever
The absolute best decision of my wedding was hiring Olivia and her team! No questions asked she was the reason I was not stressed planning my wedding. She constructed the perfect vendor team who acknowledged all of my thoughts and ideas that ultimately turned my vision into reality. I would do this all over again because every vendor was there for a reason: trusted, knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended over and over again!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Thank you so much Jenna! Loved getting this review as I am watching your wedding film teaser and ceremony film. What an amazing and special day, with a fantastic team and even better family of 3. Love you guys! Olivia -

Frond and Feathers Events was the best decision I made for my wedding! Olivia is extremely knowledgeable, easy to work with, personable, and organized. Throughout the entire process, she was available and incredibly responsive. She assisted in exchanging ideas, selecting vendors, wedding decor, etc. to where I never felt stressed as a bride and always felt like I could ask for help. By the time of the wedding day, I was tremendously calm knowing that Olivia was managing everything and had the situation under control. Thanks to Olivia and her team, she made our special day flawless and enjoyable. I would recommend to anyone getting married in the Florida Keys!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Cory, thank you so much, it was such a beautiful day, and we loved every bit of it. Im happy to hear that our presence made your day calm and enjoyable! Cant wait to see both you again soon :) -

Could not ask for better!
Olivia and the team at Frond and Feather brought my dream wedding to reality. Olivia was *wonderful* to work with. She organized everything and kept in constant communication with us throughout the planning process. She recommended the most amazing vendors and put together the best team for our event (venue, floral, photo, video, officiant, and more). She plucked the vision right out of my head. Everything was perfect, and I would not change a thing! She came in under budget for our estimates and was very helpful in keeping us on track with spending. On the day of, she handled every detail and if there were any hiccups I didn’t know about it. The wedding day was stress free, and I was able to truly enjoy and be present in every moment! Not only did she plan the perfect wedding, she is just an awesome human being ❤️. If you need a planner in the Keys, this is your girl! Thank you, Olivia!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Couldn't ask for better when it comes to a couple (and kiddos!) Absolutely adore you all! Thanks for trusting us and for being such sweet friends, cant wait for you to come back! -

In case you are someone who won’t read this very long and raving review, CHOOSE FROND AND FEATHER EVENTS FOR YOUR WEDDING! IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE MADE, AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!
I knew from my first phone call with Olivia over a year before our April 21, 2023 wedding that she was the planner for me. Not only was she immediately warm, friendly, and welcoming, but she spent probably an hour on the phone with me just discussing options, expectations, pros and cons of various venues, etc. all before even being hired. At that point, I had no idea just what an absolute expert of a planner and angel of a human being she was! Over the course of a year and a half of planning, she helped me find venues (including many phone calls, photos, video chats, etc. as I was a destination bride), be creative with where/how to utilize my budget to best capture my vision, and had such great networks for all of the most INCREDIBLE vendors who were both excellent at their jobs and some of the kindest people who immediately felt like our long-time friends. I cannot even begin to describe all of the lengthy e-mails, photos, and worries she helped walk me through, and with her team, our day was executed so seamlessly from start to finish. From what I have seen with many friends getting married, I have realized my experience was rare in that I got to: 1. Actually ENJOY the planning process, 2. Actually ENJOY the vendors I was working with, and 3. Actually be present and ENJOY our day without a worry! I am sure there were things that went awry on our wedding day that I will never know about because with her incredible timeline, communication, problem-solving skills, and calm attitude, I was able to spend time with my loved ones and have real one-on-one moments with my husband without feeling like there was a fire that needed to be put out somewhere. She, her team, and their recommended vendors truly took my vision and made it infinitely more beautiful than I could have ever imagined, and did things outside of their “job description” such as fixing table runners that weren’t the right size, helping hang seating charts, and get me changed in to my second dress (Shout out to you Lisa! You were amazing!). With all the moving pieces and various vendors involved, it can be super difficult to trust that everyone is on the same page and understands how you envision each aspect of the day, but because of Olivia and team, I was fortunate enough to have full trust and confidence in each aspect—and still be totally blown out of the water! Aside from all of these AMAZING reasons to have Frond and Feather help plan your big day, it is incredibly special to feel like your planner and their team actually CARE about being a part of your special day. At all times, I felt like my wedding was just as special and important to them as it was to me, and that I wasn’t just another timeline to run through to cash in a paycheck. Not only that, but I felt so lucky in that regardless of if we had a 2,000 budget or a 200,000 budget, our wedding was treated with equal care, patience, and thoughtfulness. A large part of this is reflective of who Olivia is as person—someone who by the end of our time in Key Largo felt like a family member of ours, and who helped contribute to the most cherished memories, both on and outside of the wedding day. Her warm, generous, kind-spirited nature combined with her ability to be flexible, detail-oriented, and organized has allowed her to not only create the most amazing planning company and team, but given us the special gift of what feels like a lifelong friend. We love you Olivia, and are forever grateful! XOXO, The McAlistersFrond + Feather Events's reply:
Awwww! Im not crying, you're crying 😭 That was super sweet Billie Anne (and Andrew)! Such a heartfelt and an amazing testimonial. You guys are absolute gems, and we cannot wait to have you back for another Florida Keys adventure together. The relationships we forge with our couples through being a part of their wedding, lasts a lot longer than the wedding weekend itself (thank goodness!)
XO Olivia -

Tens across the board for Beth and Olivia
I worked with Beth as a month-of planner for my May 27 wedding at Baker's Cay, and first discussed with Olivia. I am so, so, so, so glad to have worked with Frond and Feather and am so impressed by both Beth and Olivia.
First, some context: I am a corporate attorney living in CA and my job involves a lot of stress and project management - on top of that I am cursed with having strong opinions and a "vision" for *every detail you can imagine* - I tone that down for day-to-day, but for my wedding day? Forget it. This trait of mine made wedding planning more emotionally taxing than it needs to be, and I was nervous to work with a planner as often in life I've had to subscribe to the "if you want something done right..." mentality. My husband and I took a "rip the bandaid" approach with our engagement and gave ourselves seven months to plan the wedding, meaning a lot of key decisions had to feel rushed.
With this in mind, Beth gets my highest praise without any reservation, and though Baker's Cay requires a day-of planner, I would have been an absolute fool to forego planning services generally. Beth was proactive, mindful of all details, wise, and exceedingly calm throughout the process. "Call Beth!" was a refrain from my bridal party the day of my wedding, while we rest assured she'd have every answer. And she did. I have closed enough deals in my life to know how difficult her job was and how even more difficult it is to make it look easy.
It was a huge relief to be able to take off my project manager cap and just be present and enjoy the day of my wedding. I didn't need to obsess over remembering when our photographers would show up, because Beth had it covered. As someone who is detail obsessed, I could see Beth had thought of every minute detail as well, plus, she was able to see behind corners in ways I never could have. (This isn't to suggest that you shouldn't be on top if it in the months up to your wedding, but to know you can take your foot off the gas once Beth is plugged in and you've given her what she needs).
If I could redo the whole process over again, I would cough up more change up front to engage Frond and Feather at the very beginning of the process to be able to have conversations about expectations and the larger game plan before engaging vendors. Beth and Olivia both are a treasure trove of information when it comes to who is best to work with in the Keys.
I truly believe their wisdom can help save real $ and headaches. Every penny was worth it for my wedding for month-of services, and I'm sure it is for their higher packages, as well. Olivia and Beth both know the Keys like the back of their hand and that knowledge is worth its weight in gold.
One random word to the wise for future brides - I noticed in reviewing contracts for a few *other* planners/vendors that several based in Miami had an anti-disparagement clause in their contracts, saying that you could not leave *any* reviews of them without running it by that planner/vendor and that any public comment on their services was subject to their approval. As an attorney I was surprised at this practice because it's actually illegal per the FTC! This was enough to put me off from some other vendors I found on WW/TheKnot, and I am so grateful, as that led me to Olivia. I want to note that Frond and Feather *did not* have any such clause and I found their contract professional, detailed, and totally reasonable.
My wedding day was truly the most beautiful, and joyful, day of my life. I will forever think of Beth's presence on that day with such happiness and deep gratitude. She is a miracle worker - I absolutely love her. I am deeply thankful to Frond & Feather for being consummate professionals and will be for the rest of my life! I have no notes. HIRE THEM!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Wow thank you Paige!! What a thorough & glowing review!! It was a pleasure to work with you, thank you for your trust throughout!! We come by our reviews honestly, we truly love what we do and we love our couples even more! -

Megan L. Sent on 08/16/2023When can I do it again?
First off, I will say, our wedding on the whole was incredible, and now, 3 months later, I am still tearing up that it’s over, because it was the best, BEST night and actually, best week. Olivia is an efficient and straight up planner. She made our vision come true but also used her expertise to advise and guide us. She knows the vendors in the area and her advice with several of the choices we made was key. Shout out to Sarz entertainment!
Leading up to the wedding, we worked together for a full year before the big day. She was patient when I got too busy to work on wedding stuff, but also kept us on point with making plans and decisions when we needed to. On the week of and day of, she not only managed vendors but also managed my emotions and I will never forget the pep talk she gave me the day before the wedding when I was feeling emotional. Olivia will tell it like it is!
On the day of the wedding, she was everywhere and nowhere all at once. In a good way. Sometimes a planner will somehow make themselves front and center during a wedding, bossing people around. And Olivia was the opposite. She moved through the shadows to make the night work, but did not impose in any way. Somehow the wedding itinerary clicked along perfectly and I had nothing to do with it and Olivia was always there, ready for cake, for bouquet toss, for dinner. She even helped my elderly family members get dinner plates because they use walkers and couldn’t use the buffet!
She’s super sweet and knowledgeable. And great at her job! She’s kind when she needs to be and down to business when she needs to be. Not to mention adorable. Definitely recommend her and would give a referral if you’re interviewing planners. I interviewed at least 5 planners and KNEW with Olivia, she was the one. And so glad we worked with her.
I cried all over again writing this. Thank you Olivia!!!!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Megan! Crying happy/humbling tears over here. Wow, what an amazing review. Nothing but love for you guys. Honored to have been a part of your wedding weekend, and the year leading up to it. Thank YOU for trusting me/us throughout. Come back soon please :) -

Dream FL Keys Wedding Ritornato Style
Olivia was a god send from the very first day we met with her. She actually gave us our tour at our venue waaaaay back 2 years ago. From the first moment she met us she was warm, inviting, and helpful. She told us that we need to come back and see that place at Sunset and welcome to Covid wedding season if you want something book it now. We did both those things and quickly realized that Olivia reeallllly knows her stuff.
We fully trusted her judgement and experience on every situation that came up and our wedding could not have been better because of that. Both of us working full time is a lot to do while also planning such a large event and the Frond and Feather team helped us make our decisions quickly and easily based on their guidance.
Their relationships and knowledge are unmatched! We live only 2 hours away and I truly cannot imagine planning our wedding without Olivia and Frond and Feather. We personally got through the entire planning process with only one headache and that was the seating chart. A large part of our peace of mind was Olivia and her team.
Then day of oh my goodness. I (the bride) have a little bit of control issues so being away entire day of to get ready was really painful but I got through and Olivia and my new husband set up and coordinated and I got to just walk in and enjoy the beauty of our dream. Olivia and Beth did such a good job that we didn’t have our phones the entire night and really just enjoyed our few hours with family and friends. If you have made it this far in the review and are thinking about getting a planner just do the right thing, get Frond and Feather with Olivia because it will change your life and the start of a beautiful marriage. Thank you again Olivia we truly are forever grateful!Frond + Feather Events's reply:
Oh my gosh Mikayla, what a sweet review. So wonderful to spend the last 2 years alongside you both and to finally celebrate with you! It was an amazing time! Congrats again!!! -

I am from Pennsylvania and booked a destination wedding in Key Largo. I was very nervous to book something so far away and opted to use a wedding planner, even though I am very familiar with planning events. Olivia from Frond & Feather exceeded all of my expectations from the very first talk. She was open and honest when suggesting which package would work best for me and didn’t try to push the most expensive package off the bat. I was happy to spend a bit extra to get more from her. It was WELL WORTH IT! She was patient with my questions and thoroughly explained everything about the process. She pointed me in the right direction for all of the vendors I used and made my dream wedding a reality. On the weekend, Olivia and her assistant, Beth, eased all my worries and were there every step of the way without being intrusive. Each detail was thought of and followed through with perfection. I couldn’t imagine my dream wedding without Frond & Feather and would HIGHLY recommend using them for your dream wedding. On a side note, both my sisters got married recently and were extremely jealous that I got such an amazing wedding planner. Both of their planners were terrible! -

Olivia Hammon was our wedding planner. Olivia went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined. She helped us EVERY step of the way in deciding on big the big things such as vendors, ceremony specifics, different options on cocktail hour to even the smallest touches. She gave it her all and guided us through every step of the way, she was always there to remind us if we forgot something and responded immediately no matter what time of the day we reached out. We consider ourselves lucky having Olivia as our wedding planner, we couldn't have done this wedding without her! She truly loves her job and is exceptional at it.Frond + Feather Events's reply:
