- Olivia BrentOwnerHello engaged couples! My name is Olivia Brent and I have helped create hundreds of weddings from four to four-hundred guests. I am a former chef with a knack for performing under pressure, and I believe I have the ability to make client’s dreams a reality. Even after all of these weddings, I still get excited planning and bringing your vision to life. So often with wedding planning, couples find that vendors are unexcited or uninterested in them as individuals-which can take the fun out of it. I am here to take the stress out of planning and keep the excitement!

Kim was wonderful as our wedding photographer! She made sure we got all of the key couple and family photos out of the way early and efficiently, without being intrusive at all, and managed to capture the magic of the event with beautiful photos of the food, guests, flowers, etc. She was flexible, personable, and down-to-earth and I felt she really heard and executed on what I was asking for. Highly recommend!

Brent Events is, simply put, the best in the business. The best decision my husband and I ever made was to get married, and the second was hiring Olivia to help plan our wedding. She can tip you off to the BEST vendors in the area and every single vendor she put us in touch with A) did incredible work and B) went out of their way to offer glowing words about how great she is to work with — as if we needed anyone to tell us!
Olivia is exactly the planner you want in your corner — she’s a realist, and never made a promise she couldn’t follow through on. When one vendor gave us an outrageous quote for disco balls and uplighting, Olivia made it her mission to get us both at a fraction of the cost — and succeeded! She had so many beautiful and original ideas for touches that made our wedding feel uniquely tailored to us and what we wanted.
Olivia always made herself available to us throughout the 8 month process, and made planning a wedding across the country (we live in LA but got married in Provincetown) a total breeze. We were so nervous about committing to vendors sight unseen (or in the case of the catering, untasted), but Olivia was always honest about what we could expect, and it paid off in what at least 20 guests have called “the best wedding they’ve ever been to.”
We also appreciated how she always took on the more stressful elements for us: taking us off complicated vendor question emails and fielding them herself, or being the “bad cop” if a vendor was taking too long to respond or wasn’t offering the answers we wanted. She’s a professional through and through, but personable and reassuring in a way that made us feel seen and heard. My husband was running behind on transcribing his vows into his vow book the day of the wedding, and Olivia finished copying them for him so we could take our photos. Above and beyond!!
But more than the encyclopedic knowledge of vendors and easy-to-miss details, Olivia always made us feel confident in our vision and was just a joy to work with. It’s been five days since the wedding and we’re already missing our Zooms with her. She’s competent, kind, funny, and turned what initially felt like an overwhelmingly daunting process into a lovely and memorable experience. And I can’t stress enough that the final result was a wedding for the ages! If you're getting married in or around Cape Cod, stop looking and hire Brent Events ASAP.

Olivia and her team were phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about them. They were incredible to work with. Best decision I made in the wedding planning process!! They made us feel so comfortable and special from the beginning; I knew we were in great hands. Olivia herself was booked for our wedding, so her colleague, Emily Merrifield, was our day-of planner. They recommended amazing vendors, always responded promptly to our many questions, sourced decor items for us so we didn't have to be responsible for bringing extra items, and of course, coordinated with the vendors. They came to our initial venue meeting and asked all the questions of the venue that we didn't know to think of. Their app helped with seating charts and payment reminders among other helpful things. The day of couldn't have gone more smoothly. Emily and her team did a phenomenal of job of making sure everything was in its place at each part of the day. She even came to the bridal suite and steamed our dresses. Their efforts allowed me to have a stress-free, beautiful day.
(Even if your venue has an on-site coordinator, definitely book a planner - our hotel venue went through 3 wedding coordinators and Emily was what kept everything seamless. A planner is able to focus 100% of their efforts on you compared to the venue, which has many other responsibilities.)

If I had only one recommendation for a vendor that we worked with for our wedding, it would be Olivia and her team. Working with Olivia throughout our planning process made everything so seamless, stress free and organized. Every meeting leading up to our wedding day left us feeling better and better. On our wedding day, Olivia made it the most stress free day we could have had. If something “went wrong”, she fixed it before we even knew. If we had to switch something around, she figured out a solution before coming to us. She truly made it the best day of our lives and we could not have pulled off the wedding that we did without her. I cannot recommend Brent Events enough!! Olivia is the best!

Olivia was amazing to work with! We worked with her for partial planning for our October 2023 wedding. She was so easy to work with and there for us through all the wedding planning bumps. We wouldn't have pulled it off without her. We highly recommend her and her team!

I cannot recommend Olivia and her team enough! They were amazing to work with throughout our wedding process and allowed us to pull off the wedding of our dreams. From the vendors she recommended, to the quick and frequent responses to each and every one of our questions, she was a consistent source of stability and wisdom. Most importantly, on our wedding day itself I didn't have to think about anything besides being in the moment and celebrating. Thank you Olivia!!!

Olivia was great to work with, and made sure the entire wedding day went so smoothly. She kept us on track during planning, and her online tool enabled us to easily track RSVPs, plan table layouts, and maintain our to do list. Olivia took charge on the wedding day, and kept everything right on schedule - down to the seconds with the surprise fireworks we planned for our guests! We would hire Olivia a hundred times over, and we would highly, highly recommend her!

Olivia and her team are an absolute gift to any couple who is looking to pull off the wedding of their dreams! When we kicked off the wedding planning process, we knew we wanted full coordination planning so we started looking into our options. Our first call was with Olivia, and we never looked back. The decision was EASY, and we are so thankful to have had her in our corner on the wedding planning journey. Wedding planning is intimidating, and we had a vision that we had no clue how to execute… enter Olivia!! She takes your word vomit of hopes and dreams, puts them to paper, and makes them all happen while making sure it is within your budget.
I don’t have enough characters in this review to speak about how highly my husband and I think of her – no task is too small, nor too big and she is REAL with you through it all. We appreciated her level of communication on things to us on a need-to-know basis. She clued us in on info as we needed to make decisions or things were changing, but also knew when to just keep moving and not bother us with things she didn’t need to. Every single vendor she recommended was fantastic and not only did they all do a great job, but they all also spoke so highly of their experience working with her and how great the Brent Events team was. The band said they were true MVPS pulling off heroic feats and making it all happen behind the scenes – that is the sign of a great planner if you ask me. Not only do we have rave reviews to share as bride and groom, but every vendor or person who crossed paths with Olivia has expressed the exact same sentiment.
Our wedding was logistically complicated with a lot of moving pieces but the trust that we built with Olivia through the 10 months of planning shined bright on our wedding day. With bad weather and last-minute changes, as the bride, I never felt better or more at peace than on my wedding day and trusting that Olivia would do what it takes to get the job done and do it well.
Amongst all the other incredible work she does, the best part of working with her is that she cares deeply about her couples and bringing their vision to life. We felt that each step of the way and continue to feel it in the weeks following our wedding as we look back and reminisce. We can't recommend Olivia enough for all your planning needs!

This wedding would not
have happened without Olivia and her team at Brent Events.
Ever since we signed on with Olivia last year she has been; not only my planner, but my friend, confidant, professional calmer downer, & most importantly someone who could work with me despite my quirks and 2AM ideas.
With Olivia no idea was too big, or detail too small. She understood and took pride in all aspects of our wedding.
Olivia was constantly in our corner, she had our back when there were issues with vendors, & last minute changes that we’re made within hours of the wedding.
She made sure I (we) had the wedding of my (our) dreams.
We were truly so lucky to have worked so closely with her & my heart hurts now that our time has come to and end.
If you are lucky enough to work with her you are in the best hands

Olivia Brent, Emily, and Ana were the best wedding coordination team a bride could ask for! They made everything go extremely smoothly the day before and day of the wedding and I couldn't picture the day without them. We had no idea if anything didn't go to plan, and directed everyone on what to do during prep. We had a backyard wedding so having them be there for prop was crucial. I can't speak more highly of them if I tried. I hope everyone could have them at their wedding!

We hired Olivia as our day-of-coordinator and also to plan and organize transportation to and from the venue and the reception. We highly recommend her to any couples looking for a highly organized wedding planner/coordinator.
Our day and timeline was so smooth, and it’s entirely due to Olivia and her team. At our first meeting in person, Olivia showed up with a binder with everything about us, including our pinterest board completely printed out. In each meeting, Olivia asked us the right questions to get us thinking about what we needed to have done. She also made sure we were sticking to our budget.
She also did a fabulous job handling all aspects of our transportation, from talking to and pricing the transportation companies, to coming up with a list of potential shuttle services and their costs. This was the part that I was not looking forward to planning myself, and Olivia took that responsibility and delivered a great shuttle company within our budget!
On the day of the wedding, Olivia and her team kept everything on schedule. All of our vendors knew where to be and the day went without a hitch! We would not have been able to plan a wedding this smooth and organized without Olivia and her team!

Olivia was our day-of coordinator, and she was fantastic! On the day of our wedding, which was at a summer camp that was much bigger than we'd remembered from the tour, Olivia walked 12 miles. Incredible.
From our first check-in call, Olivia really worked and listened to understand what was important to us, what we hadn't thought about yet, and what we didn't care about. She thought of things that I never would have - who is taking out the trash? Are you going to have a menu on the tables? - and was a really positive, reassuring presence every step of the way. She built a detailed timeline for us and the vendors, coordinated their load-in and out, and we really felt that she was in our corner in the stressful lead-up to the wedding.
On the day itself, she took care of absolutely everything. I didn't have to interact with a single vendor, and instead got to enjoy the day. She and her team set out all of our decorations, coordinated all the vendors - they even made our In Memoriam corkboard when we ran out of time to do it beforehand. There was a risk that our florist would no-show, and she assured me that if that happened her team would drive to the store and buy me flowers herself. Seriously, the best. As it got dark she turned the glaring overhead fluorescent lights down to half, and then off, without needing to ask me. And I'm sure that if you're the sort of person who would prefer she checked with you first, she would absolutely do that as well. I can't recommend her enough! My wedding straight-up would not have happened without her. Or I would have lost all my hair.

When it came to planning my wedding, the best decision I made was marrying my husband. The second best decision I made was hiring Olivia as my day-of coordinator. Although she was a day-of coordinator, Olivia was involved months in advance and was incredibly responsive to emails. She went above and beyond to assist and I felt incredibly reassured knowing that she was going to be there to ensure everything went smoothly. In the months before the wedding, we had a walk through at our venue that Olivia attended. Going into the meeting, I felt very overwhelmed and leaving, I felt as if a load had been taken off of my back. I knew I was in excellent hands with Olivia in charge and she did not disappoint. On the day of the wedding, Olivia and her colleague, Alex, did everything they could to ensure that the day went smoothly despite unexpected challenges with the weather. They made sure that we had a beautiful wedding and carried out our vision and then some. I was on cloud 9 all day because I knew I could rely on Olivia and Alex. I could honestly gush about her for paragraphs, but I’ll stop myself. She is a lovely person who is very competent and talented. I highly recommend her. Do yourself a favor and book her.

We reached out to Olivia for a consultation and she was absolutely so helpful and kind and comfortable to talk to. We immediately felt at ease talking to her and it was clear she had a real interest in helping us out. The whole process felt like we were dealing with a close friend who had been through this before and had great lessons to share and not with someone just doing this as a job. Can’t thank Olivia enough or recommend her more highly!

Olivia (formerly Farmer's Table Design) from Brent Events is TRULY the reason I had the perfect wedding. You know someone goes above and beyond when the father of the groom mentions her 10 plus times during his speech.... Olivia and I worked together for over a year curating every detail of my wedding, and I could not have done it without her. She was able to understand my style and aesthetic, and truly improve upon my personal vision. I am already begging her to let me work some of her future weddings, because I miss talking to her every week! If you can snag her as your wedding planner/coordinator you will have the most seamless, stress-free wedding ever!

We cannot overemphasize how wonderful Olivia is, and how crucial she was in giving us the wedding of our dreams. My wife and I had a pretty specific dream in mind of what we wanted for our wedding—but the wedding that we had (that Olivia made happen) was beyond our wildest dreams.
We did the full coordination package with Brent Events, and reached out to Olivia early on in the planning process when we realized a planner was important, as we were planning a Cape Cod wedding remotely from New York. From our first call, Olivia showed us her superhuman abilities: we were having a really hard time finding a tent after trying for weeks…and Olivia secured us one within 48 hours. From that point on, we knew we’d found an angel, and we were 1000% right. Over the next 11 months, Olivia was our go-to for everything: from creative consultations, to operational needs, to on-the-go asks via texts. She also drove hours to meet us 6 months before the wedding to run through everything, tour venues, and do tablescapes (which were instantly beautiful, because she took the time to understand our vision from the start).
Our wedding was extremely DIY, since we did it on a private property, and had to create our venue out of thin air. Olivia made this not only easy with consistent and clear communication and excellent listening to our needs, but she also made it fun and enriching. Through her incredible network on the Cape, she was able to connect us with the best vendors, which we are dearly thankful for. We’ve not only gotten to work with insane talent across food and florists and even restrooms(!), but we’ve also gotten to know the nicest, most genuine people throughout the process. This is because Olivia surrounds herself with the kindest and most sincere people, which makes sense because that’s who SHE is. Two prime examples of this: we had a hard time finding a card box that went with our aesthetic for the reception, so Olivia texted us a video one day of her literally crafting us a cardbox out of a mailbox, which she printed with our initials and designed herself! We also didn’t know how to properly display a welcome sign, so Olivia took it upon herself to build us our own custom one, that had a flowerbox built in. Again: a superhuman.
When it came to our wedding weekend, we could not have asked for a better support system from Olivia and her team. She was the definition of calm and in control for both the rehearsal, and the wedding day. We didn’t have to lift a finger the entire day, and she covered everything, with a level of finesse that will go down in history. She was also there exactly when we needed her, and managed to get the most meaningful behind-the-scenes footage along the way. She even created an album for us the day after and shared all of the footage so we could share it with friends. It’s these kinds of special touches—among so many others—that make Olivia and her work so unique, warm, personal, and unforgettable. She deeply cares, and it shows in every possible way. I’ve had several guests from the wedding ask for her info since, to use for their weddings (and some of them aren’t even in relationships! That’s how good she is!)
We were asked recently if we’d have done anything differently when it came to our wedding, and the answer was honestly and truly, “No.” The day was perfect and flawless—and that’s due in such large part to the work of Olivia & the Brent Events team. Hire them. It’s the best wedding gift you could ask for.

Olivia and team literally saved our wedding day from a horrible catering company's ill planning (see review for Pranzi catering)
The DOC was priceless, quite literally. Olivia made the day stress free and I didn't know about any of the hiccups that occurred. Even after the wedding, she made sure to help me get a refund from Pranzi.
My photographer, MUA, and friends all love her - so easy to work with! I had a small wedding < 50 people that wasn't an upscale backyard wedding that I wasn't going to have a coordinator for because it was so small. BOY am I glad I did, you should too!

Olivia and her team helped bring my dream day to life. I hired her for everything from booking all vendors, through day-of coordination. I literally sent her Pinterest pictures and she helped bring it to life! I didn't have time to do much planning because I was finishing school, so having her just organize things and present me with final options was great for me. Perfect for someone who doesn't have the time to chase vendors down.

Olivia made my wedding dreams come true. Her meticulous attention to detail allowed for a truly seamless experience. I hired Olivia and the farmers table for full event wedding coordination. I’m from out of state so was very nervous to not be present for every detail, however with Olivia at the helm I was never out of the loop and completely stress free(as much as one can be whilst planning a wedding). Olivia helped us stay on budget and we had amazing vendors because of Olivia’s knowledge and know-how. I’d just like to add that Olivia is one of the hardest working people I know and I truly could not have had my special day with out her. Her laughter and calm presence saved me multiple times during the big day! Please don’t hesitate to hire Olivia as she is worth every single penny!

Olivia was everything I needed and more for my wedding day. She's an amazing planner and extremely thorough. From day one of booking her, she was so helpful and knowledgeable!
I booked her for day-of coordination, and we had a few meetings before to align on the timeline and make sure that everything for the day was in order so that I could be as worry-free as possible on my wedding day. That definitely lowered my stress levels as she made sure that I had all my ducks in a row going into the wedding week.
On the day of, she and her assistant Tarryn came in clutch on so many instances, from making sure my groomsmen put their boutonnières on properly, to picking up my wedding dress, and making sure my desserts all got to the venue in time. And most importantly, she made sure that cleanup/takedown was as seamless as possible so I could enjoy the evening and the next day without worry.
I was so lucky to have worked with her and I cannot stress enough how wonderful she made my wedding day. My husband and I are extremely grateful and we could not have had our perfect day without her.

Olivia was PHENOMENAL. She made the difference between settling down and being present on my wedding day, versus having a breakdown. I don't know how she does what she does. I would 100% recommend using the Farmer's Table. Not only was Olivia professional and so good at her job, she is a lovely human. We wanted her to stay and party all night.

The Farmers Table catered my daughter's wedding on Cape Cod. The meal (served family style) was delicious, as well as the appetizers. We received so many compliments from the wedding guests.
Not only was the food 5 star, the servers and bartenders were 10 star. They were professional, competent and cheerful. They truly were impressive!
Thank you Olivia and your wonderful staff. We are very grateful for making everything absolutely perfect.

We hired The Farmers Table for our 2020 turned 2021 wedding. Olivia and her team were so kind, responsive, and professional. They were really flexible during all of the pandemic madness which we so appreciated. We had some changes in our financial situation during the pandemic, and Olivia was really understanding and helpful in working with us to provide a delicious meal for our guests while also staying on a budget. Our guests LOVED the taste and the presentation of meals. Thank you Farmers Table!

I couldn’t have had a better experience with Olivia (our wedding coordinator) and The Farmers Table. We rented a wedding arch and farm tables for our wedding - both were beautiful! Olivia helped us from start to finish and made the entire process easy and enjoyable. She really listened to what we wanted and made our day so special. I’m so grateful to Olivia and her team and can’t recommend The Farmers Table enough!
