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 we met, my perspective on love and relationships completely turned and I learned so much about what a partnership is.

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

Born and raised in Gorham, Maine, I currently live in Standish with my incredible husband, Corey. In September 2023, we were overjoyed to welcome our daughter, Delaney, affectionately known as "Lane" most of the time. She holds the deepest place in our hearts and brings immense joy to our lives!

Our first two kids are two adorable labs named Remi and Finley who undoubtedly keep us on our toes!

In my spare time I am learning to "mom" everyday, along with working full time as a pediatric dental hygienist.

MY WHY: The primary motivation behind my career as a wedding planner stems from my passion for people. I genuinely relish the opportunity to connect with each couple, bring their visions to life, unveil the final result of their efforts, and provide them with a sense of calm on their special day.

LEAD PLANNER

I absolutely adore my husband, Dustin and appreciate his desire to support me in all that I do. We welcomed our daughter, Luella, in August 2023 and I quickly fell in love with my new role as Mama. We’ve got a dog, Porter who is seriously the sweetest soul and our cat Rhu-ster (actual name: Rhu) who is a bit of a menace but cute nonetheless! 

I always have a book on my bedside table (usually a romance novel) and peonies are my most favorite flower. 

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 and it's where I love spending time.

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 everyone together. I value the relationships with our couples and vendors - it makes my work even more enjoyable!

OWNER AND LEAD PLANNER

meet

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 husband, 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!
