Meet the olive tree team

Back in 2020, I took a leap of faith leaving my marketing career to pursue my dream of wedding planning and started working at a high 

volume wedding venue. I knew immediately it was the greatest decision I could have made. After two years at the venue, I decided it was time to branch out on my own to start The Olive Tree Weddings and I am so excited to be on this journey!

Wow! I don’t believe there is a word to describe how outstandingly incredible Amanda and her team were for my wedding. I hired her for the full service and it was without a doubt one of the best best decisions I have ever made. From day 1 she was readily available to speak with either via text, call or in person meeting to review ideas, items, vendors, anything needed for my wedding. The day of my wedding leading up-to my ceremony was one of the most relaxing (yes I said relaxing) days, even the hair and makeup artist agreed. Every detail was perfect, every situation handled with ease, every guest taken care of and spoken to in a way that made them feel welcome. Everything was PERFECT. There is not one single thing I would have changed if I wanted to and I am a perfectionist. She is without a doubt the true MVP for what I believe to be one of the most EPIC days of mine and my husband's life and most likely a lot of my guests.

I would 100% recommend hiring Amanda for your wedding day. She is professional, attentive, and when unexpected things arise on your wedding day- she helps to make sure all things are done to the best of her ability. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful but having her made things a whole lot less stressful!

"My husband and I were SO impressed with Amanda and her team! We DIY'ed almost everything for our wedding, including centerpieces, florals, programs, the works. Amanda sat down with us to go over our vision, and truly brought it all to life!! She is super easy to work with, a great communicator, and professional. We interviewed many wedding coordinators and are so thankful we went with Amanda. We HIGHLY recommend her!
