    Olivia at Love Crush Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. Her careful attention to detail, thoughtfulness, creativity and fun loving nature really shined through with the whole planning experience. She truly made our vision come to life. Olivia listened to everything we wanted and helped make our dream a reality. Olivia provided a service that is unmatchable and unbeatable. We appreciate everything you did from the initial planning meetings to the end. Helping us with our queues for the ceremony and even our reception walk out, those are just some of the small things she did that she didn't have to do. Her attention to detail was tremendous. Olivia, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! Our wedding day was perfect! As if a thank you could be enough for all of the hard work you put in. I would recommend Love Crush Weddings to anyone who is looking for the perfect experience and making their dream wedding become a reality.

    Olivia was simply amazing! She took care of all the little details and much more. We had booked her as a day off planner but she did so much more than that. She took care of flowers, decor, etc. We gave her 5 stars all around but would've given her more if it was an option! Thank you again Olivia for making our wedding day stress free!!!

    Love Crush Weddings's reply:

    You are too sweet Valerie! Thank you for choosing me to design and execute your wedding day. What a beautiful day it was. Your friends and family were so welcoming and you made such a beautiful bride.

    Wishing you all the best.

    I had the honor of winning a styled engagement photo shoot with Love Crush Weddings. I have nothing but the absolute best things to say about my experience. Olivia was such a pleasure to work with. Organized, creative, kind, down to earth and "on it". She had paired our shoot with an amazing photographer(which we are using for our wedding) creative florist and wonderful decor rentals.
    I loved the passion she has for each couples love story and how her touch really maked our vision come to life.
    I highly recommend Love Crush Weddings. I related to her like she was a bridesmaid she was so helpful and it was so much fun working with her "team" for our photo shoot!
    Thank you Love Crush Weddings!!!

    Love Crush Weddings's reply:

    Thank you so much for the sweet words Katie. You and Tyler are amazing together. Your love for one another just radiates and I am so excited for you both as you get closer and closer to your upcoming wedding day! (Not long now)

    Wishing you both the very best as you embark on this exciting new journey together.

    We initially started our wedding planning without a wedding planner but quickly realized that we needed help. There were just simply too many things to take into account and the stress of planning a fairly large wedding was quickly consuming what was meant to be a special and enjoyable experience.

    From the first time we met with Olivia (Olivetree Events), we knew she was a great fit. We wanted to find someone who was positive, organized and professional. Someone who would make us feel at ease and who we could trust to have our best interests at heart. Olivia understood what we wanted on our wedding day and exceeded in meeting and delivering in all our expectations.

    Olivia was able to take our initial ideas and enhance them with her own concepts; making our wedding more beautiful, more personal, and all that we both dreamed it could be. Olivia’s attention to detail and creativity was impeccable! It was a delight to see her remain calm and in control during the entire process. Her resourcefulness and experience as a wedding planner helped us keep things in perspective and ensured that we stayed within budget.

    We received endless compliments and praise from many of our guests, (even weeks after), about the beauty and uniqueness of our wedding. They pointed out the professionalism and tastefulness of the entire day. One guest went on to say that our wedding was the most enjoyable wedding experience they had experienced in over 40 years.

    Looking back, it is quite evident that we couldn’t have done it without Olivia’s support! Thank you Olivia for creating such a beautiful and memorable experience for us, our family and our friends.

    With our sincere love and friendship!

    I encountered Olive Tree Events at a wedding fair. Olivia made a great first impression (friendly, attentive and outgoing) and I could see by the way she staged her booth that she had great taste. Having already done some research, immediately I knew that I wanted to work with Olivia. She was priced competitively, offered a great range of services and was passionate about her work.

    Olivia took care of all of the details with the venue and other service providers – she demonstrated experience planning events and negotiating options, timing and price. We were impressed with the questions she asked (stuff I wouldn’t have ever thought of) and the suggestions she made (things that wouldn’t have offered up without being prompted).

    Opting for a 5 PM ceremony my biggest fear was things running tardy – I didn’t want guests to be finishing supper at 11 PM instead of celebrating on the dancefloor. Going into the day of the wedding I felt confident that everything was on track. Olivia planned the schedule of events to a T, arranged for the pick-up/return of all rentals and décor, connected with all vendors and handled all of the decorating.

    Olivia created a seamless worry-free evening and enabled us to focus on each other and our guests. I am happy to say that the wedding was beautiful and the timing/transitions were flawless. Many guests even commented on the smooth flow and relaxed vibe. Olivia made this look effortless but I know she was busy behind the scenes focusing on details, rounding people up and looking ahead to anticipate needs.

    We cannot recommend Olive Tree Events highly enough. Olivia is an absolute gem to work with. There’s no doubt that it was her efforts and contributions that created a relaxed atmosphere and gave us the freedom to live in the moment and enjoy our wedding day.

    Olivia is very thorough and has a good eye for design. She really genuinely cares about the end result and about making the final product high quality. I love that she gives her honest feedback and yet respects mine as well. Highly recommend working with- truly a pleasure!
