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!

Amanda and the Olive Tree team are absolutely incredible and one of the best investments we made for our wedding day! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Amanda for a year and a half of wedding planning. From the very beginning, Amanda was incredibly helpful and organized, guiding us through every task, from selecting and hiring our vendors to the small details of our tablescape. Amanda embraced all of my “type A bride” personality and worked alongside me so seamlessly to create the wedding of our dreams. She was always on time, professional, and was ready to answer our questions day and night. After our wedding had passed, she continued to help us navigate through a difficult vendor situation with so much support and grace. Words can’t even begin to describe how grateful we are to Amanda and her team for treating our special day as if it were their own. We have gained a forever friend in Amanda, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Hiring Amanda and Olive Tree as our "month of" wedding coordinator was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding process! She not only brought our complete beautiful vision to life on the big day but was also able to take so much off of my plate the month leading up to the wedding. Throughout the whole process she remained completely accessible and was so much fun to work with! Highly recommend.
