Olivia was absolutely wonderful!!! I did a ton of research and interviews with different wedding coordinators and she was definitely the best choice. Very attentive, responsive, and kept track of all the details to keep me on track for my wedding day. The day of the wedding, Olivia coordinated everything exactly to plan so that I truly had my dream wedding. I have already told several friends to use her for their upcoming weddings because she was a joy to work with and very professional!

Afterglow was fantastic to work with for our 3/30 wedding. Olivia and team are extremely professional, punctual, and organized - exactly what I needed during a very stressful crunch time. Olivia took care of everything I needed help with in the weeks leading up to our wedding and on the wedding day. She executed everything perfectly to our vision and ensured the day was smooth and we stayed on schedule. She even had helpful recommendations for vendors that we ended up hiring for our day. She communicated with our venue on our behalf, helped answer my many questions, and accommodated last minute details and changes. I trusted her fully and am 1000% glad I hired her. Seriously snag her up if you can, she was a huge help and instrumental in making our day wonderful and easy! I can't recommend Afterglow enough! THANK YOU!

Olivia was great to work with for my bachelorette party! She helped planned everything from restaurant reservations, activities and helped us pick an airbnb. When we arrived she had all the decor set-up and the fridge stocked for us. She is super responsive and great to work with.
