As the mother of the bride I had the mistaken belief that I could plan and organize my daughter's wedding this summer. Boy, was I wrong! Fortunately I realized I needed help.. Rhiannon and Heartbeat Events were a lifesaver! Rhiannon's check-ins prior to the wedding insured everything was ordered and scheduled. The best part though was the day of the wedding. I didn't have to worry about anything, but just being the mother of the bride. Rhiannon and her crew were so helpful and made the day the perfect event for my daughter and her fiance' that I wanted it to be.

Kayla & the Ascend Events team was an absolute pleasure to work with & I hope that we work in tandem for many more future events. I own/operate Mount Tom House and worked with Kayla as we planned a couple's wedding weekend. Sometimes my job & responsibilities as the venue host overlaps with a wedding planner's. I loved working with Kayla because her communication was clear, consistent, and honest throughout the entire planning process & we were able to jointly work together as a true *team.* I was involved in the couple's on-site planning meetings and it was SO COOL to see Kayla take the couple's ideas & preferences and bring them to life at Mount Tom House. Kayla's work was extremely thorough, creative, and day-of she was one of the hardest working people at Mount Tom - she didn't stop all day! She is a true advocate for her clients and for the hired vendors. She doesn't leave a single stone unturned and is extremely detail-oriented in her planning (a huge value to a venue owner!). If you have the opportunity to work with Kayla, whether as a fellow vendor or as a couple seeking wedding planning and coordination, I highly, highly recommend you seize the opportunity!

I have been planning events for the last 20 years, on the side. I have always loved hosting people, and I've done a few bridal and baby showers. At my previous job, I helped plan several employee luncheons and holiday parties, with about 100-150 employees attending. I even led the planning a few times. In the summers of 2021 and 2022, I became an on-site wedding coordinator for a local venue, with 5 weddings each summer. In 2023, I coordinated 11 weddings, and in 2024, I coordinated and planned 17 weddings. I'm halfway booked up for 2025!

Hello, I'm Olivia! I love to craft authentic, deeply-curated events that truly celebrate you and your partner. That means I live for the funky details: adding wild turkey feathers to your floral arrangements, asking the ring bearer to dress as a hobbit, ditching your heels for some comfy sneakers during the reception, getting hitched at midnight… whatever you can dream of! I like to say, "everyone's been to a wedding... but they haven't been to YOURS!"

If you are currently looking for a wedding planner – STOP EVERYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW AND BOOK OLIVIA IMMEDIATELY! You will not regret it. Olivia went above and beyond 1000% when helping us plan our wedding. It simply could not have happened so smoothly and perfectly without her. Olivia is extremely kind and attentive and was a huge support throughout the process. We had some ups, downs and twists with things out of our control and Olivia pivoted flawlessly to fix things and put any stress I had to rest. She is a positive force to be reckoned with and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I am a very DIY planner type myself but you simply cannot be there managing everything on the actual wedding day. You NEED someone to help and Olivia is that person. She was an excellent sounding board for all of my thoughts and ideas, a layout making queen and she dealt with my vendors seamlessly! The #1 absolute best decision I made when planning my wedding was hiring Olivia. SO SO WORTH IT. Thank you Olivia!!!

Nottingham Events

  • Serves Salem, OR

I’ve been working in the wedding industry since before I had a driver’s license. My father is a SoCal based wedding videographer of 20 years. Starting as a young teen, he would let me tag along to weddings to help haul equipment. I fell in love with the hustle and I ended up working 15+ weddings as his assistant videographer before I left for college. Professionally, I have been working as a stage manager in events and entertainment for 9 years, mostly in the SLC, Utah area. I always felt the wedding industry calling me back, so about 3 years ago I began applying my events management skills to wedding planning and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
I honestly never thought I was going to get married and I definitely was not going to have a wedding of note. However, as my partner and I started talking more and more, we scoped out what it would take to have a smooth, aesthetically pleasing and gay as he** wedding in the PNW. We like supporting small businesses and folks just getting started, and we got recommended Finn by a mutual friend. We kept it small and had them coordinate our actual Big Day. As someone who has done a LOT of managing other people's problems, I mean events, having a competent lesbian around who had taken extensive notes on what we wanted and who to talk to and handled every single thing that came up from directing caterers to the too many people who really Just Want to Be Helpful was just fantastic. Finn was incredibly responsive, asked pointed questions that got at potential problems we had not considered, and was incredibly patient with us when we got a little all over the place. They also took the animal bones, cold outdoors, and eccentricities of our privacy preferences in great stride. and they're funny as all get out. 10/10.

We are so extremely grateful for everything that Ashley has helped us with through this entire wedding process. We started working with her about 13 months out from the day, and were able to have monthly meetings to keep us on track and give us ideas/assistance as things came up. In addition to being our day of coordinator, she did our florals, which turned out to be everything I dreamed of!

We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley.

Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

To all couples reading this: You need someone you can trust to be a calm center to your wedding day. I met Mina on a recent wedding and wanted to testify to her skills. As an experienced wedding videographer who has worked over 500 weddings I knew when I met Mina that this wedding day was going to be smooth sailing. As the day unfolded, her coordination kept everyone in the loop, gave us all time to breathe, transition, and regroup! I can easily recommend Mina to anyone looking for an detailed, and carefully run wedding day. She was as friendly as she was professional, and didn't skip a beat. I've worked with some planners who lay out impossible timelines, are MIA during key moments, or get heated when things start moving fast... Trust me, a good coordinator is the best money you're going to spend on your wedding day!
