  Coordinated the BEST backyard wedding ever

  We were lucky enough to have Carisa and her assistant Colleen from Pink Olive Events as our day-of wedding coordinators. They did such an amazing job making sure our backyard wedding ran smoothly by coordinating with our many vendors and helping out all day and night. We would highly recommend them for any wedding! Very experienced and professional - we can’t imagine having a better experience :)

  Best Day of Coordinators Ever!

  Our wedding was everything we imagined thanks to Carisa, Lexie and the Pink Olive team. From the start they were so professional and eased any stress we had towards planning the day. We had no doubt they would make sure everything came together just as we wanted it to. Above and beyond the planning, they brought such a positive energy to us and all of our guests that day. We loved working with Pink Olive and would absolutely recommend them to any couples planning their wedding!

  Best Day Of Coordinators You Could Hire!

  I started following Pink Olive Events well before I was engaged because a friend of mine hired them for their wedding and I fell in love with their online presence, how they answered questions, the vibe they gave off, the information they shared, etc. When I finally got engaged, I think Carisa was probably my 2nd call after my parents! I am super type A and knew I could find and hire all of my vendors and do a lot of the leg work myself, but what I was stressed about was the final execution, set-up/decorating, timeline and vendor coordination, etc. I didn’t want me or my family to have to stress about those tiny details the few weeks prior to the wedding, and certainly not on the day of. I felt instant relief after my call with Carisa and Lexi a month before my wedding, passing them the contracts, details, etc. was like an instant wave of PHEW! Of course, they were involved even earlier despite being hired for the Day Of, they participated in walk throughs, were available via email or call for any questions throughout the 2 years I was engaged. I was able to relax the week prior and focus on enjoying my wedding. They were 100% on top of everything, ever detail, every back up plan, all of it! Their attention to detail was unmatched and they did certain things throughout the event that I wouldn’t have even thought of! I could not have done this without Pink Olive Events, and I highly recommend anyone planning a wedding, whether you need full planning or just someone to get it over the finish line like I did, to hire them ASAP! Thank you Carissa, Lexi, and the Pink Olive team!

  The best day of coordinators I could ask for!

  I don't know where to begin with Pink Olive, we used their day of coordination service and it was the best decision I could have made. Alex and Lexie were assigned to our wedding, and from the moment we started planning they were nothing short of incredible. Alex made the period leading up to the wedding so stress free; she contacted all of our vendors and put together a timeline with every detail we could have ever needed. All of this contributed to making our wedding day relaxing and enjoyable, but that's not even the best part. On the day of our wedding, Alex and Lexie worked their superpowers and turned my backyard into the wedding of my dreams. They pulled everything together - setting up fences, adding flowers to our wedding archway, arranging the table scheme perfectly, coordinating with all the vendors as they arrived to set up, literally everything! It was more perfect than I ever imagined, and a ton of work, but they did it effortlessly. Throughout the wedding they continued working their magic in the background ensuring that our procession went smoothly, my dress was perfect, and all the transitions with vendors went seamlessly. They are so organized and so great at what they do, can't recommend Pink Olive enough!

  One of the best decisions we made!

  I originally was looking for just a Day of Coordinator to help make our wedding day run smooth, but Carisa and Alex exceeded my expectations! They helped bring our vision to life by finding the right floral and lighting vendors. Carisa and Alex were there for our rehearsal dinner and picked up all the decorations so we wouldn’t have to worry about them the day of. Carisa was easy to communicate with, provided the expert advice we needed and was extremely patient! I would highly recommend working with Pink Olives for your next event – big or small!

  Look No Further for Day of Coordinators!

  I cannot express how amazing Pink Olive Events was for us. Our wedding went off without a hitch in June 2022. We got married in a church and then transitioned to a reception about 20 minutes away. Not only were we provided TWO coordinators (one at the venue making sure everything went smoothly and one at the church) we also were provided (as well as ALL of our vendors) a DETAILED agenda. Even to the MINUTE.
  
  Alex is the BEST and Carissa was such an amazing leader. Alex was with us for the rehearsal and even picked up decorations from us so we wouldn't have to worry about the day of. I was so overly impressed my only regret is that we only hired them for day of coordinating and not the entire thing!
  
  If you are looking for an amazing company, coordinator for day of or otherwise LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

  I *highly* recommend Pink Olive Events

  Carisa was absolutely amazing to work with. Very detail oriented. She offered different tiers of packages to help with our wedding needs. Her website was easy to use and definitely came in handy with helping me stay organized. She was always so quick to respond back with answers to questions I had. She read through all of our vendor contracts and made sure all vendors were paid timely per their contract deadlines. She was able to coordinate all the vendors together for the day of. She made sure the room we got married in looked perfect before our guests starting arriving. I forgot to bring my wedding earrings and hair accessories to the salon the morning of and she was able to run them by to me. All the groomsmen had their boutonnieres on which she helped some of them with. She handed off thank you cards I wrote ahead of time so all the vendors had them. She helped guests find their way to their tables and anything else they asked her about. She oversaw the entire wedding to make sure everything went on time without a hitch. She is one of a kind! She made the entire process look effortless. She was so calm, cool, and collected while troubleshooting any potential issues without me knowing behind the scenes. She was hands down my favorite person to work with. My husband and I are so grateful for all her help.

  Day-of Coordination Services

  We hired Carisa and Pink Olive Events to manage our day-of coordination and they delivered exceptional service. Leading up to the event, Carisa was always an email or text away. We were planning from Florida, so meeting with vendors in-person in Connecticut was a major challenge. We ended up hiring every vendor she recommended i.e., band, catering, photography, hair/makeup, officiant and florals, and they were all so incredible to work with. The event was seamless and ran on time. Thank you, Carisa and team!

  Best Wedding Coordinator

  I do not have enough kind words to describe Carisa and how helpful she was in the entire planning process. Carisa not only had an amazing list of vendors that she recommended to us, but she honestly made the entire process stress free which allowed us more time to spend with our 3 year old son. She coordinated with all our vendors as to when to show up the day of so that the only thing we had to think about was getting married. The entire day was perfect thanks to her and I know for a fact it was so perfect thanks to all her help throughout the entire process and the day of.

  Lovely team to work with

  Carisa and her team were invaluable in our wedding planning. We had actually given up already due to COVID and thought our elopement at town hall was enough for us. Carisa presented the option of a microwedding and we were sold! The way she presented all the vendors and the checklists were truly outstanding! She took advantage of technology where planning could be made more efficient! They are super professional, ultra-responsive and they make suggestions without making you feel pressured. You as the bride are still the running the show and they make you feel important. Glad we went with Pink Olive Events and we are so happy with how our microwedding turned out!

  The best wedding coordinator in CT!

  We truly cannot recommend Pink Olive Events enough for your wedding day of coordination! Since the beginning of our planning journey with Carisa, she was thorough and flexible through many changes due to the pandemic. Our wedding day was met with challenges and stressful moments as a medical emergency occurred with a member of our bridal party just hours before our ceremony was set to begin. Carisa, handled the situation with professionalism and compassion. She worked with our venue to swiftly change the order of events, kept the event moving, and ensured that our guests we’re happy. She kept our bridal party organized and miraculously we completed everything on our timeline despite the craziness of our day. There are countless things Carisa did on our day, that we are so grateful for. From making sure I always had my lip gloss to sharing special words with my Dad before he walked me down the aisle. Thanks to Pink Olive Events, we were able to have the wedding we had always dreamed of. Carisa was more than just a vendor on our day, she was a caring friend. If you’re looking for a passionate, organized and experienced coordinator, look no further. Carisa, thank you for going above and beyond to make our wedding day happen! The best decision we made during our engagement was choosing Pink Olive Events.

  Amazing team!

  I'm so happy that we hired PinkOlive Events. They were so detailed. So organized. And they kept me SO calm and sane throughout the entire process. Carisa and her team were on top of everything. The day of my wedding, I was running behind with hair and make up and then hit a ton of traffic on the way to the Church. We started the wedding a bit behind schedule, but PinkOlive Events made everything run so smoothly that no one even noticed! Most importantly, they kept me calm and sane!

  Dream Wedding

  One day, scrolling on Facebook, I saw an ad for Pink Olive Events and they were offering a minimony wedding package. Being that I’d always wanted a small intimate wedding and also don’t do well with planning, this seemed like a match made in heaven. I instantly contacted Carisa and from that very first conversation I knew I could trust her. She answered every question I had, and trust me, there were many. With this minimony package, Carisa promised that we’d just have to “show up and get married”, and we did just that. She took care of every detail and her talent showed the minute we arrived. Every vendor that was part of my day was so friendly and professional. Every guest was wowed by the location and the set up of the wedding. The romantic, rustic, riverfront themed wedding day that Carisa created for us was beyond our expectations. Her talents and passion for wedding planning are unmatched and I look forward to referring her to anyone that wants to have a wedding.

  Give yourself the wedding gift of Carisa & her team!

  I don't have enough words to express how vital and incredible Carisa and her team were to our wedding planning. From the start, Carisa & I hit it off, and that alone was incredible - it's so nice to work with someone you have so much in common with! Every single step of the way, Carisa answered our million and two questions and never was impatient or stressed. Her calm, cool, and collected (but still fun and excited!) demeanor was the absolute perfect antidote to all of my pre-wedding anxiety. I quite literally don't think we could have pulled this wedding off without her - she took control, fielded questions and requests from family, guests, and the wedding party, and she and her assistant coordinated everything from vendors to weather worries to a beautiful surprise my family coordinated for me seamlessly from start to finish. I texted her so many times the week of with so many bizarre requests and worries, and she handled it so gracefully (I was STRESSED lol). Literally all we had to worry about was showing up and getting married! Our close family members and wedding party had so many wonderful things to say about her as well. If you want to give yourself the best wedding gift possible, HIRE CARISA!! You absolutely will not regret it!

  Recommend a 10000000%

  Like so many couples our plans ended up changing because of the pandemic. We hired Liz for day of coordination, and was there for us, through much more! When we made the final decision (2 months prior) for a slightly adjusted wedding Liz was there anytime we needed her. She had never worked with our venue before, but I would have never known! Having her there the day of, made everything seamless and easy for not just my husband and I, but the entire bridal party. She kept us all in line, not in an overbearing, aggressive way at all! I had also realized a month before that I had forgotten to book hair for my girls, she gave me an amazing recommendation that worked out perfectly! We had a beautiful, fun and relaxed wedding during a pandemic and so much of that is thanks to the ladies at Pink Olive!!! We can't recommend them enough!

  Exceeded expectations!

  I can't even begin to say enough good things about Pink Olive events! I booked Carisa two years prior to our wedding because of all the good things I had heard! Carisa worked with us when the pandemic hit and made sure that she did everything she could possibly do for us! We had to make some changes and go with a micro wedding on our original wedding date. She ensured our wedding day went smoothly and her timeline was perfect for every one of our vendors to utilize! We cannot wait to work with Pink Olive again in April for our larger reception!

  Mother of the Bride

  I can not imagine my daughters wedding without Carisa and her amazing team. Carisa went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we requested. Her recommendations and resources in the CT area are plentiful. Carisa was always available by phone & email and extremely organized. All vendors were on the same page and her team took care of any questions or issues that might have come up and I didn’t have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, you will not regret hiring Carisa and her outstanding team of coordinators

  Easiest Wedding Decision

  Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more thanks to Carisa and her team! When we needed to move our wedding from Block Island to CT due to COVID-19 with only 5 weeks to go, she tracked down the PERFECT venue and brought all our vendors together. The wedding itself progressed so smoothly that we were able to relax and truly enjoy the magic of our special day.

  We couldn't have been happier!

  Carisa and her team were phenomenal! I can't recommend them highly enough. We used Pink Olive for full planning services, from the very beginning, and Carisa was with us every step of the way. She is a fast and creative problem solver and took the stress off of us so we could just enjoy the process. From setting up hair and makeup trials, touring venues, selecting and mailing save-the-dates and invitations, and putting together 150 party favors, Carisa does it all. She is relaxed and fun to be around, which suited us perfectly. She is also very reasonably priced compared to some other quotes we got. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, DO IT - you won't regret it - and Carisa will help make your wedding everything you want it to be!

  Make things go smoothly with Carisa!

  Our wedding, how would one put it, had a lot of logistical challenges. Multiple venues, multiple modes of transportation (we are talking 1.5hrs apart, locations), a large team of vendors, various pieces of decor that needed setup, etc etc etc. We knew we needed someone on the team that was going to wrangle all of that. My words exactly were "I dont want to even think about this stuff the month before".
  
  We reached out to multiple planners, with varying experiences and price ranges - must've reached out to over 10, if not more. Luckily, we were able to find Carisa on weddingwire and theknot, and given her previous reviews decided to reach out. Carisa offered us her various packages, right away, but most importantly (and almost surprisingly) emailed almost immediately after initial contact. Some others took 2 days... 5 days, one a week later. She offers both full wedding planning and month-of planning, with single a-la carta options to customize your wedding. (ie: reduce your stress). Carisa was the 1st vendor we hired, without even securing the venue, thats how confident we were in her ability!
  
  Ok - so why Carisa.
  1) She is super attentive to your emails and questions. Before even getting hired, she would answer questions and helped me make decisions on things. I knew if she was able to answer this fast in email, she'd be great at dealing with on the fly stuff, easily.
  2) Her a-la carte options brings value. For example she ended up doing our party favors, which im sure was no small task.
  3) Super professional - but tries to keep you on track. If something seems wonky with your planning, she'll let you know that perhaps other options should be considered. In a sweet, but "yeah you really dont want to do that" way.
  4) For the most part - the month of stuff was totally on her. We drew up a plan and she executed it. She got all vendors on the same page. Everything that was supposed to happen at our wedding, did. I didn't hear or experience any catastrophic emergencies, which may be luck or maybe because Carisa had already handled that behind the scenes.
  5) Her personality is very warm and welcoming. My wife was very happy to trust Carisa with the day.
  
  You'll meet a lot of wedding planners, Im sure. But, if you are considering a wedding in CT and absolutely positively want the experience to go smoothly, you HAVE to give Carisa a buzz and see how she can help. You'll be impressed, no doubt, as we were.

  Fabulous and professional

  When we lost our coordinator ten days before our wedding, Carisa stepped in and made last-minute organization look easy. She took on a massive project with basically no notice and delivered beautifully - in short, she saved our wedding. We felt secure in her warm presence and her copious spreadsheets. Thank you, Carisa!

  A phenomenal wedding planner!

  Working with Pink Olive Events was a wonderful experience. Carisa and her team are professional and effective, and it was clear from day 1 that we were in good hands. Pink Olive knows what they're doing, and provide a top-notch service. It was a huge relief to know that all the details were taken care of, and we were free to enjoy our day. I wish I was getting married again, so I could hire Pink Olive again!

  Thank you Henry and Jaya for the kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and your families. Everything from the speeches to the custom made plates Jaya's mom made for the favors made this wedding truly one of a kind.
  
  P.S. You can always plan a vow renewal in a few years :)
