Our venue required us to hire a wedding consultant, and we are thrilled they did and even more thrilled to have found Samara. She was a star from start to finish. She provided such amazing advice; she found fabulous vendors in the area; and she...

Samara made the entire planning process organized, less stressful, and helped us stick to our budget. We had monthly check ins via zoom/FaceTime and she kept us on track. On our big day, my husband and I felt stress free and everything went sea...

mlessly. Samara handled coordinating deliveries/vendor arrival times, and set up/ break down. It was so nice to be able to enjoy ourselves the night and day after the wedding and not worry about breaking everything down. Many of our vendors commented on how organized Samara was. I can’t recommend her enough and truly don’t think I would have had such an amazing day without her.

Samara was AMAZING!!! She truly went above and beyond our expectations and for that we are eternally grateful. She is a logistics master and we SO appreciate how expertly she coordinated with all of our vendors (especially the ones who were gho...

sting us!). The regular check-ins were so great for our planning and piece of mind and helped us go into the wedding day with confidence and way less stress. Her setup of the venue and calm presence during the wedding saved our lives! Samara met us at the venue the day before the wedding and spent all day (and probably most of the night!) setting up all of our rentals- and we rented EVERYTHING. The barn looked absolutely STUNNING- her design instincts are on point! It was like walking into a fairytale wedding. I know she handled all of the bumps in the road beautifully because we never heard anything about them! It was so amazing not having to worry about setup or breakdown at the venue. We were really able to enjoy the moment as well as the days leading up to and following the wedding. Not only is Samara great at her job but she is truly a delight to work with. Everyone that met her commented on how sweet she was and what a great job she did. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her.

Meet the Team

Samara J Oliver

Owner

Hello! I'm Samara. I am a crazy foodie and I absolutely love my animals. I was born and raised in Massachusetts and went college at a small University in Maine. Upon graduating college I worked for a boutique hotel company on the coast of Maine as an Events Manager, planning and coordinating all types of weddings and events. This is where I very quickly fell in love with everything about weddings and what ultimately inspired me to start my own business. My philosophy is pretty simple: keep things stress free, fun and memorable!
