Olive & Rose Events

initely stressful at times and Kim helped to alleviate all my stress throughout the entire planning process. As we got closer to our wedding date, she kept us on track with all of the final details and communicated with all of our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. I had zero stress the weekend of our wedding because I knew Kim had everything taken care of. Our wedding day went so smoothly and everything was more beautiful than I could have imagined! I would recommend Kim and Olive & Rose to anyone looking for someone to help plan their special day!

the wedding and then a cool calm force on the day of. While I was busy enjoying the day she and her team were running around making sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help pulling off their vision for their big day!

to the owner, Kim Allera. I was still figuring out a lot of main aspects, and wasn’t quite sure what I wanted, or if I even needed help. I already knew my ceremony site (Heinz Chapel) and reception site (Soldier and Sailors Memorial), so hard could it be? She was very helpful in breaking down the types of services her team could provide, and to get in touch at my convenience if I wanted to set up a consultation. Two months later, I finally admitted to myself that I truly could not even do this, even if I didn’t have a job in healthcare, and living 1,000 miles away in FL. And from that moment, wedding planning life became so much better! My full consultation was completed over telephone with Kim and my assigned coordinator, Susy Tveten. They had such enthusiasm and I could tell, even over the phone, that they enjoyed their work, and that this business wasn’t just a job, but a passion! Throughout the next several months, when I talked about Susy to friends and family, it wasn’t just “my wedding planner” but it was “My new friend Susy, who also happens to be my ANGEL wedding planner!” Susy was able to see my vision of a “comfortable, but classy wedding” and helped me through the milestones of the process. She understood the vibe I was looking for, and found additional elements to elevate the look, without sending my budget into the ground. If I had an idea, well ANY idea, Susy would compile all of the research. She provided several viable options, but ultimately she could predict which option I would likely be drawn to, or if I would just nix the thought all together. No request was too much for Susy! I could write more paragraphs singing Susy’s praises; from the welcome bags, to the invitations, to my funfetti cake request, to my crisis text messages (at suitable hours of course!), Susy was my miracle worker. She is an efficient, talented, hearting warming soul and professional to work with and I promise you will not be disappointed! And I’m happy to have found a new and amazing friend!

o many aspects of our special day. She found us a perfect wedding venue that we never would have even considered. She kept us organized and focused on needed steps and worked hard to be our advocate for all partners. In addition to the normal wedding stressors of vendors and parent dynamics, she was a consistent and calming presence throughout all the changing pandemic rules and chaos. But specifically day-of the wedding (2020) and reception (2021) she was everything I wanted. Calm, organized, made sure every detail was in order and made it so my family, who normally would have been handling these tasks, were able to just enjoy the day. She laughed at all my bad jokes and made me feel like I could call her with any questions at any time. Cannot recommend Olive & Rose Events enough to couples either considering full wedding coordination or just day-of support. Thank you Kim!!!

e whole team was willing to do whatever it took to make sure our wedding was amazing. And, boy, was it. I had NO worries all day because I knew Susy was on it. Thank you to Olive & Rose. Kim, you have built a wonderful company and should be quite proud.

ching two vendors about confirming rentals and Kim worked magic to get responses. She was incredibly organized and knew all of my details when we met. She also had great ideas to help me fill in some blank spots that I hadn't thought of. The day of the reception, our reception could not have happened without the Olive & Rose team. What might have been a very stressful morning was so easy because I knew I could trust Kim to take care of every detail and she absolutely delivered. Kim took my visions from paper and Pinterest and made them even better in real life. I highly highly recommend Olive & Rose!

wait long because they book fast! Well, I am SO FREAKING HAPPY I hired them because my wedding day/night was amazingly beautiful and it could not have happened without them. I had Mackenzie with me as my wedding coordinator and she helped with my final details leading up to the wedding and of course, was with me the entire day and night of my wedding as well to make sure everything ran smoothly. Mackenzie is the sweetest and is also extremely organized, professional, and calm. We had a few tough vendors that we were working with and she did not let me stress once throughout the process. Even at the very last moment, she was out grabbing more flowers and napkins for me and never missed a beat. Also, my venue included a room flip from ceremony to reception. Mackenzie made sure no detail was forgotten. I was truly amazed after coming back from taking photographs to see what she had done. I am so very grateful for Mackenzie and her team for working so hard to make sure my day was perfect. I honestly did not have to worry about a thing leading up to my wedding because I trusted that Olive & Rose Events was going to take care of it all. If you're on the fence about a wedding planner or coordinator, reach out to Olive & Rose! It will make your special day even that much more amazing because you will not need to stress about the small things! My friends and family really enjoyed working with Mackenzie and appreciated her patience, organization, and calm personality. My fiance and I are so thankful for you, Mackenzie! Thank you Olive & Rose Events!!!

right team for me! Kimberly made payments easy and helped make our rehearsal run smoothly. Mackenzie answered my many many questions along the way and really helped give me peace of mind. I was a very diy bride and made many things myself, but I had no doubts that Mack understood my vision and would help bring it to life! Its safe to say that all thanks to Mack, I was completely stress free on the day of our wedding! Two last minute changes... 1. Two days before our wedding I found out that our hotel had to cancel due to air conditioning problems. Mackenzie answered my panicked phone call and helped me contact all of the vendors that needed to be contacted and made an updated timeline so I could still get the first look I wanted! 2. The day of our wedding... the forecast said rain, right at our ceremony time. Mackenzie called me, as I was getting my make up done, and talked me through the options I had for moving our ceremony inside. I had no worries that no matter where our ceremony was, she would help make it everything I dreamed of! Grateful does not even describe how I feel for having the Olive & Rose team as part of our special day!

onths out I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you so much Susy!!!!

, and she would respond with “already done!” or “on it!”. She was such a lifesaver throughout the entire wedding planning process. My only regret is that I didn’t hire her sooner!! 10/10 recommend these ladies!!

such great hands. We were able to enjoy our day, and have it be exactly what we envisioned thanks to Kim and Mackenzie. They are the best!!

and all the wedding logistics in the weeks ahead of the wedding was such a relief. She ran our rehearsal and was so helpful in handling any blips on the wedding day too. Our families and guests raved about how helpful and sweet she was. Through the whole process, Susy was always upbeat, fast to respond, and reassuring. I truly couldn't recommend her or the whole Olive & Rose team enough!

additional and professional help (Hint: hire your planner or coordinator early!) Susy jumped right in, immediately started working to coordinate all of our last minute details with our vendor team, and made herself available for absolutely anything that we needed during the final few weeks leading up to our wedding. Not only was Susy professional, organized and attentive, but she also was an amazing human who kept me sane during the crazy last few weeks before the wedding. Our wedding day was 100% stress free thanks to Susy. I truly felt like I could be a "guest" at my own wedding, and just enjoy every moment, because no detail went overlooked. Susy 100% took my vision and worked with our vendors to make it a reality. She worked tirelessly the entire night to make sure that the day was even more perfect than we could have imagined- from decor, to organization and communication and also being in charge of the cookie table (with over 1000 cookies)- she did it all. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator (as I was) you will NOT regret bringing Olive & Rose events on as part of your team. My only regret is that we did not bring them on sooner. THANK YOU SUSY and the entire team at Olive & Rose events!

kept getting bigger and bigger, but if Kim felt that way, she never showed it. She had everything under control and I was shocked how well everything went - especially being right on schedule (which I was convinced would never happen). She even gracefully handled a rude family member at our rehearsal. It really was invaluable to have a calm, positive person handling everything while we focused on our guests. There is no way we could have done it without her (or Mackenzie, who came to help with breakdown and getting all personal items back to our room). Don’t fool yourself into thinking you don’t need a planner - everyone needs the day-of coordination at the minimum! And we’d absolutely recommend Kim and Mackenzie for your wedding!

u and your vendor team. Plus, she has gorgeous taste! You can trust that you can relax on your day - which is what it's all about! I can't wait to work with her again.

was absolutely gorgeous, we had to rent additional items such as table settings, flatware, glasses, furniture, etc. We knew this ahead of time but Kim seamlessly orchestrated everything including all of the rentals, catering, band, florist, officiant, transportation for guests, organizing/delivering hotel welcome bags, and the list goes on & on. She is so personable and quick to respond to every text, phone call, and/or e-mail. She had kept me sane throughout the entire planning process! Without her & her team, I know that our dream wedding would not have been possible. If you are looking for someone to coordinate your big day or even just a special event, look no further...reach out to Olive & Rose Events!

I can't express my gratitude for all of the hard work and how impressed I was with not only the outcomes but also the entire wedding planning process. We were planning on a small wedding and wanted an intimate setting but neither of us really liked planning the small details nor decor. To help with this, we added 10 hours of wedding planning in addition to the Day Of wedding coordinator. Kim was absolutely fantastic! She was so warm and friendly yet extremely polished and professional. It was obvious she is well experienced with the wedding industry. We went against many traditions and Kim guided us on how to address our wants with our families expectations. Her creativity was helpful in designing a lounge area for our wedding since we had extra space (given our small wedding of 65 guests). Most importantly, Kim was an excellent communicator. We both worked full time and had limited availability to call during normal business hours so we mainly used email for planning and communication. Kim was quick and thorough with her responses. She also sent monthly check-in emails and follow-up on tasks to help keep us on schedule with planning. This was essential in minimizing our stress level. Even without the additional wedding planning support, Olive & Rose is amazing for Day Of coordination. We were lucky to have Kim available for this role as well, making it a very smooth transition. I was a bridesmaid for a few weddings so I knew the wedding day could start early with setting up the reception area, then the hours of wedding party prep, not to mention worrying about all of your vendors. We kept our decor simple so Kim and her team were able to set up without us being there, giving me more time to relax. When I say our wedding was flawless, I am not exaggerating. Not a single hiccup or issue the ENTIRE day. The week leading up to the wedding Kim made sure to triple-check coordination for every vendor. My only stressor for the wedding was the weather...and even the rain stopped an hour before our outdoor ceremony. The best part was the end of the night. Instead of having to worry about the presents, decor, etc, Kim and her team quietly coordinated breakdown while I was on the dance floor with my family and friends. It was wonderful! Honestly, our wedding was the best day of my life...we still talk it about it almost daily and it's been 3 weeks. We couldn't have had a more perfect day with Kim's help and the amazing Olive * Rose events. I strongly recommend Olive & Rose events for your special day!

ferentiates her, and O&R by extension, is that she truly cares and we were not "just another couple" getting married. She and two O&R assistants made the day go perfectly from start to finish. Susy was in constant communication with us during the months leading up to the wedding. A specific example of how she went above and beyond was when she met with us IN PERSON with masks at our venue during the height of the pandemic. Additionally, Susy's ongoing input and the O&R timeline and tools made the planning process so much easier by helping us stay organized. On the day of our wedding, Susy and her team executed the decorations at the reception beautifully, making our vision a reality. I cannot thank Susy and Olive & Rose enough!

and craziness throughout the process. of planning a wedding during 2020. Her attention to detail, positive and professional attitude, and humor makes her a joy to wok with. She makes the stressful times fun and always has amazing suggestions and creative ideas and solutions! If you are able to hire a wedding planner (day-of or full-on plan everything) HIRE HER NOW! You’ll be so glad you did!

o have worked with her and I look forward to working together many, many more times in the future.

t everything else we needed that we didn't even think about. She contacted vendors, made a detailed timeline for everyone, and took care of all the little details for our ceremony and reception. Working with Olive & Rose was one of the best wedding decisions I could've made!

, I can honestly say they made the wedding planning experience 1000x easier. From weighing our options for venues or helping us to decide what was most important to us and where wanted to spend our money and then basically becoming my therapist as we navigated planning a Covid wedding in 2020... I could go on for days but in summary, the best advice I can give is to hire Olive & Rose to make your wedding planning process enjoyable and streamlined! As for day of... Mackenzie absolutely nailed my vision! When I arrived at the venue I was completely in awe at how perfect it all was. Every single detail was spot on and I had zero stress on our big day (Covid and all). I've had endless amounts of compliments and comments at how calm I was and I owe that all to the amazing team at Olive & Rose. The one benefit of getting married in 2020 is that we get to work with them all over again for our big reception in 2021. If I could give 100 stars I would and I can't say thank you enough for making the start of our forever everything I could've dreamed of and more!

full wedding planner over night and helped me re-plan my entire wedding in 6 weeks. The event was absolutely perfect. Not a single detail was left undone. Her vision turned our backyard into what looked like a real wedding venue. I cannot recommend Kim /Olive & Rose Events enough!!

eam wedding with 250 guests in downtown Pittsburgh. Obviously, that was completely out of the cards this year, but we knew we still wanted to get married and have a small intimate reception. When panic set in, Kim and Susy were there to offer advice, suggestions, and ultimately landed me a new venue with less than 3 months til the wedding date. I could not have gotten through the Covid crisis and planned a wedding without them. Susy was such an amazing energy to have present the days leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding. She and Mackenzie were there to take and set up decor, drop my cake off, pick up flowers (and made a special trip to our hotel the morning of the wedding because I forgot something) just to name a few things they helped out with the day of, on top of making sure everything went smoothly. I tell everyone that hiring them was hands down the best decision I made, and I would pay a million times over again to have them there on my special day. I cannot thank them and sing their praises enough. If you are on the fence of about hiring a wedding planner, I promise you will absolutely not regret hiring Olive+Rose!

details and didn't know what I even wanted but Suzy and Kim did, and they worked with all the vendors to sort everything out and it turned out to be magical. I can't recommend them highly enough - if you want strong smart women to help you sort out the craziness that is a wedding with a smile a laugh and total competence, Olive and Rose is the way to go! Thanks Suzy and Kim!
