WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A WEDDING DAY THAT ALIGNS WITH YOUR WISHES AND NO ONE ELSE's

MADISON AND MINNEAPOLIS WEDDING PLANNERS CRAFTING YOUR JOYFUL CELEBRATION

Can we talk about "Midwest Nice" for a sec? The pressure of expectations from well-meaning friends and family can make wedding planning frustrating, stressful, and a bit dramatic. It's a delicate balance between wanting to please everyone and ensuring that you don't compromise on the joy and happiness of your own special day.

If we're going to embody the spirit of "Midwest Nice" (and believe us, we're well acquainted with the challenges of people-pleasing), let's do so by creating a day that exudes genuine Midwest hospitality, while showcasing your unique love story in the most beautiful and meaningful way.

 Laugh with your loved ones, steal kisses with the love of your life, tear up the dance floor, and indulge in that second (or third) piece of cake. 

Our role is to relieve you of the burden of managing all the details and dynamics on your wedding day!

Creative minds, logistical wizards, heartfelt souls, or the best wedding decision you ever made - WE'RE HERE TO ENSURE YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT

every little detail

For centuries, olive branches have played a symbolic role in weddings. Just like the sturdy olive tree that withstands storms, a strong marriage can weather any challenge with care and nurturing.

At Olive Branch Events Co., our sincere desire is to handle the intricate details of your wedding, allowing you to embrace a stress-free experience and savor precious moments with your loved ones. It's our way of extending an olive branch to our couples, ensuring you can fully enjoy your wedding journey

Founder + Lead Planner

Formerly known as: the mom of every friend group

Hey!

Hospitality is not just a passion - I LIVE IT. Whether I'm orchestrating a wedding or welcoming guests into my own home, I thrive on creating meaningful connections with people. I have a natural talent for forming friendships and following through with plans – when I say we'll hang out, I mean it.

When we work together, you can consider me a trusted friend and a dedicated planner who knows how to get things done. I bring both personal connection and professional expertise to the table, ensuring that we stay focused on the task at hand while never losing sight of your vision. After all, we have a wedding to plan!

When I’m not elbows-deep in planning, you’ll find me spending time with my husband, chasing my boys, hitting up the local boba drive-through YET AGAIN, or raving about my latest thrift store find - even if you didn't ask for it.

I fell in love with my husband in a pizza line.
It was literally love at first sight (with the husband, not the pizza, although the pizza deserves some credit too).
RIGHT THEN, I declared to no one at all, "That's going to be my husband" and 1.5 years later we tied the knot.
8 years later and we're still going strong.
The end. OR just the beginning! ;)

I can't wait to hear your story!

A love story

Ellie

Ellie is exactly who you want in your corner to dream and cast a vision for your special day! She's encouraging and kind, but most importantly, cares so much about YOU and your wedding day and you will feel that with every interaction.

We're all wow-ed by her amazing design skills (like seriously, her moodboards are unparalleled) and how she makes everyone feel at ease. It's no wonder she has a brimming social life because she's a delight to be around - your friends and your grandparents will love her.

Lead planner

sarah

She's cool, calm, and collected. Laid-back (in the best way) but don't let that fool you - she is always one step ahead and amazing at anticipating needs (Need your dress bustled? Need a drink? She's gotchu). Before you ask, things are done and it all comes so naturally to Sarah! But I mean, she also used to plan weddings in the mountains (no biggie).

We are so lucky to have her!

Lead planner

Laura

Laura is our energizer bunny! She has the positive presence you need on your day. Her capable and go-getter attitude is absolutely refreshing in the midst of planning. You can always count on Laura to get the job done while keeping things light-hearted and fun, which is a major asset when things don't always go to plan.

barketing manager + the queen of passive aggression

Casey

She sleeps most of the day, always has her nose in all the business and is way more interested in barking even though we've got some really professional meetings going on...

She is 100% the laziest employee we’ve ever had, but she’s also had better days. Pre-kids, Casey was her mama’s everything. She has since stepped aside and reluctantly taken on the big sister role. Casey's claim to fame is she's the first “client” OBEC has ever had. All jokes aside, we do love Casey! She's been with us through all the highs and lows of entrepreneurship!
