Hard working
we plan weddings to bring joy to people’s lives! It’s simple!
Don’t spend hours in front of the screen, trying to sort through the thousands of details. There are countless hours and emotions that go into planning a wedding and it’s easy to get overwhelmed quickly.
We’ll work with you to design and plan your wedding just for you, getting to your day with ease. Think about your long work days, but then imagine a little extra time to squeeze in date nights, a quick ski trip, or play time with your pup. We want ALL of that for you, which is why we’ve got you covered.
When it’s here, you won’t worry about a thing.
As a Maine wedding planner
When I met my husband, Dustin, he taught me so much about love. I never knew quite how to show love until I met him. When I met Dustin, my perspective on love and relationships completely turned and I learned so much about what a partnership was.
This is where my true desire to plan weddings developed.
I wholeheartedly believe in love. Love is the kind of thing that can bring you senseless smiles. I think it can help build our character. It brings kindness, silliness, romance, and so much more. It challenges us to be better people. Being able to celebrate that is a gift!
And this is where our name, Olive and Co. came from. Dustin and I were dating long distance and instead of saying “I love you” for the first time on a phone, we began with “Olive you.” That of course changed on the next flight bringing us together. And the Co. comes from Colorado, which is where our love story began.

THE O&CO. STORY
I met my husband Corey, in college while he was playing baseball and I was playing soccer. Our wedding is July 30th, 2022!!
I am a Gorham, Maine native and have not strayed far from home. In my spare time I enjoy traveling to Sanibel Island, FL to enjoy the sunshine and ocean breeze.
My two dogs are the loves of my life. My chocolate lab is Remington or Remi for short. She is three years old and is a very independent girl and sassy girl... My yellow lab is Finley or Fin for short. He is two years old and is our little monster!
I am a full time Dental Hygienist in Portland, ME. You can find me scrolling through dental/teeth Instagram's all day!
MY WHY: The main reason why I'm a wedding planner is for the love of people! I love getting to know my couples, their vision, giving them the big "reveal" of all of their hard work, and taking a little burden off of their shoulders on their big day!

SARAH
LEAD PLANNER
I absolutely adore my husband, Dustin and appreciate his desire to support me in all that I do. My pets are everything! We’ve got a dog, Porter who is seriously the cutest and our cat Rhu-ster (actual name: Rhu) who snuggles at all the best times.
I always have a book on my bedside table (usually a romance novel) and peonies are my most favorite flower. June wedding anyone?!
I can’t start my day until I get a run in! I'm a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan and have been since I was 10 after betting quarters with my dad and brother.
I'm a Maine native and the coast is home, but after spending a few years in the mountains of Colorado with Dustin, the mountains have taught me serenity.
MY WHY: I plan weddings because first and foremost I believe in love! Second, I love creating a day that ultimately brings immense joy to so many as we bring them together. And I value the relationships with our couples and vendors - it makes my work even more enjoyable!

OWNER AND LEAD PLANNER
Born and raised in Maine, I know the magic this state holds. From the craggy coast, to the mystical mountains, there is something for everyone here! I love experiencing all four seasons (yes, even our blustery winters), but without a doubt fall is my favorite!
When I’m not working you can find me; lost in nature, enjoying a coffee, adventuring with my dog, Dennis, or catching up on the latest binge-worthy show with my partner, Alan.
Music is my love language, so it’s easy to say my favorite aspect of a wedding is – dancing! Nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than seeing a family come together and make amazing memories on the dance floor.
MY WHY: I enjoy being a part of the wedding industry because I'm among like-minded detail-oriented individuals who work together to create a truly incredible day for our couples! I'm so grateful to be involved in one of the happiest days in our couple's lives!

the team
I'm born and raised in Maine but have also spent summers living in Maryland and New York! Southern Maine holds a special place in my heart as it's where I attended college (go storm clouds!) and where I met my fiancé Matt. I also love the area because of the access to beaches year round. You'll often find me any day of the year searching the shores for sea glass or running up and down for exercise!
I'm a full time elementary teacher with a passion for being part of someone's happiest day.
When I'm not teaching or planning you can find me seeking out the best local brunch spot coffee shop or bookstore!
When it comes to weddings, my favorite detail is always the flowers! I love how they can transform a space and add pops of color to brighten up any day. Fun fact: I tried to convince my mom to change my name to Lily of the Valley when I was five and she still hasn't let me live it down.
MY WHY: Wedding planning has always been my dream job! I love planning events and designing an environment for clients to be stress free on their big day. Being a planner you get to create color schemes, play with florals, and build relationships with clients and vendors. My favorite part is merging ideas to create crystal clear visions. It's truly making someone's dream day come to life and creating memories to last a lifetime!
