Mary L. Sent on 09/18/2023Working with Julie is a must! Having her as a coordinator allowed us to focus on each other and enjoy the entire process.
Our wedding day was a dream! Julie helped us with the entire wedding process our and we can not recommend her enough!
We needed some help with being able to formulate and verbalize our vision, and develop it along the way.
Julie was there for us as we created our perfect day!
She kept us on task (giving us attainable timelines and homework). Julie was extremely communicative (with us and our vendors), supportive, and involved in all the ways we needed.
There were times where we needed some lessons in speaking up and some help in feeling validated... and Julie was there to step in (in a professional and kind way). She really enabled us to feel confident in our decisions and like we fully understood every detail of the planning process (like vendor contracts).
She was also able to mitigate some interpersonal dynamics. (some people around us had their own opinions and personalities that she was able to help redirect -whew!)
Having her as our go-to for all questions and concerns took away a huge amount of stress and allowed us to keep coming back to what mattered... the fun!
Working with Julie is choosing to always have some one with immense knowledge, compassion, a sense of humor, a willingness to take charge, and impeccable organizational skills in your corner. I know we certainly needed all of those things!
Most importantly she felt like family- (the kind you want to be involved in all the planning). We're so happy/grateful we were able to work with her! -

Hiring Julie as her Wedding Coordinator was the best decision our daughter could have made. As the Parents of the Bride, we had a lot going on! Just knowing that Julie was there to help us all, every step of the way, was a tremendous relief. Julie is very knowledgeable, intuitive, respectful and levelheaded; everything we could have wanted in our Wedding Planner! She guided us through the planning process with kindness, grace and with lots of solid suggestions. We absolutely enjoyed the wedding day and never once worried about anything thanks to Julie. We highly recommend you hire Julie as your Wedding Planner you will not regret it!

Angela Sent on 10/22/2023Can't do it without Julie's Help
We hired Julie Olson as our wedding planner for our daughter's wedding in the Vermont Wedding Barn, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Julie was professional, attentive, creative, and friendly throughout the whole process. She listened to our daughter's vision and preferences, and helped us find the best vendors, venues, and details for her big day. She also handled all the coordination, communication, and logistics with ease and efficiency. She made sure everything went smoothly and according to plan on the wedding day, and we didn't have to worry about anything. She was always available to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and solve any issues that arose. She went above and beyond to make our daughter's wedding a dream come true.
Our daughter's wedding in the Vermont Wedding Barn was perfect, thanks to Julie Olson. The barn was beautifully decorated with flowers, lights, and rustic elements. The ceremony was romantic and heartfelt, with a stunning view of the mountains. The reception was fun and lively, with delicious food, drinks, music, and dancing. The guests were impressed and delighted by the whole experience. The photos and videos captured by the photographer and videographer were amazing and memorable.
We highly recommend Julie Olson as a wedding planner for anyone who wants to have a stress-free and wonderful wedding. She is a talented and experienced professional who knows how to make your wedding vision a reality. She is also a kind and lovely person who cares about her clients and their happiness. She is the best wedding planner you can ask for.

Elise R. Sent on 10/03/2023Amazing partnership and value made our dream wedding a reality.
There are not enough positive words to describe our experience with Julie - She was absolutely instrumental in the success of our wedding and bringing our vision to life! The short version of this review is that if you're looking for a Coordinator you can trust to execute your vision flawlessly and make the planning process as smooth as possible, Julie is hands down the best choice!
Our wedding took place at Paradox Brewery in North Hudson NY - It was their first ever wedding on site (and obviously our first wedding too), so no one on our wedding team had experience in planning these events, and that's where Julie was absolutely instrumental. We originally were only looking for a day-of coordinator (which is a service Julie offers as well), but it was immediately clear that her Partial Planning service was more in-line our true needs. Julie went to work right away, giving us manageable homework we could do on our own, and hunting down vendors herself she had worked with in the past. Specifically, at that time in our planning process, there were ZERO DJ's available on our wedding date that would travel to our venue, but Julie leveraged her relationships with other vendors in the area, and her reputation with the Entertainment company from prior events allowed us to hire a top-notch DJ that otherwise would not have been available to us.
Julie went above and beyond in every other aspect of planning too. She was always available when we had questions or needed help (even during the crazy busy summer wedding season). She helped us fine-tune ideas and make our (sometimes outlandish) vision a reality. She was truly a third teammate throughout the entire process.
Although Julie was pivotal in the planning process, it was nothing compared to the immeasurable help and support from her during the wedding weekend itself! Julie picked up our flowers herself so we didn't have to worry about doing errands the morning of the wedding, she helped to set up the venue, decor, and table layout so we could focus on the rehearsal dinner. She facilitated the rehearsal and made everyone feel comfortable and confident on what they needed to do during the ceremony. She made sure we had something to eat and drink and coordinated a private moment for us immediately following the ceremony so we could spend quality time together. Julie even helped with tear-down and clean up the morning after the wedding so we could attend a farewell breakfast with all our guests. Julie truly helped us to be present for our wedding day, to appreciate all the big and small moments of our wedding, and really enjoy time with our guests who had come so far to be there - It is not an exaggeration to say this wedding would not have been our dream wedding without Julie.
Finally, a quick note about pricing - We were on a very tight budget going in to planning, as I think many couples are. We were hesitant to invest a larger portion of our funds towards coordination/planning services, however this was far and away the best use of our wedding budget, without a doubt. Not only did Julie save us so much stress through the several months that we worked with her, but she was so generous in letting us use items she had in her decor collection that would have otherwise been very expensive one-time purchases. The value we received from Julie far exceeded the price of her services.
In short, Julie was phenomenal to work with, well worth the investment, and a true partner in this experience. -

Elena M. Sent on 10/15/2023Julie Olson - Day-Of Coordination
Julie and her team are absolutely top notch. She is an affable, insightful, organized and experienced coordinator who was a delight to work with.
We hired Julie to be the day-of coordinator for our wedding about 9 months before our special day this past August.
Leading up to our wedding, Julie was so helpful - making sure we remained on track to book all of our vendors, adding input to our ideas, giving us recommendations when we were clueless, talking us off a ledge when we needed it - and never letting us lose sight of our vision. She lent us small pieces of decor and furniture from her own collection - saving us some money and stress with these simple but impactful elements.
The day of our wedding was an absolute dream. We put a lot of work into planning a weekend that was 100% us. When the time came for us to let go and let Julie take control, she was flawless. Not only did she execute our vision, she found small extra ways to make our day even better.
Some people say that your wedding day is the best day of your life - which is 100% true for us, and we owe much of that to Julie and her team's ability to execute on our dream. She went above and beyond, doing things like helping to find last minute babysitters, putting our favorite flowers on our place setting, or packing us a to-go box of our dinner so we had something to eat when we got home from our weekend.
We would get married again just to have Julie be our day-of coordinator. We won't, but we would know who to call if we did. -

Julie is a lifesaver!! Book her!
Julie is hands-down the best. We are SO grateful that we were introduced to Julie early on in our wedding process. We worked with her as a day-of coordinator, but she did so much more. She was a source of reason throughout the planning process and went above and beyond. Our wedding day turned out to be incredibly rainy, and she took all the stress of the weather and change of plans just executed everything perfectly. I'm not sure what we would have done without Julie. Work with her if given the chance! -

The best wedding planner!
Julie Olson is amongst the best wedding planners out there. She is organized, communicates effectively, warm and kind, and highly experienced in wedding planning. Julie went above and beyond to make us feel calm, prepared and excited for our big day. It was such a comfort knowing that Julie was with us all weekend long. She has a back-up plan for anything that might come up day of. We loved working with Julie and we highly recommend her to anyone who wants a thoughtful, well planned out, smooth wedding day!

Julie was our three-day weekend, three event wedding planner/sensei/spirit guide the months leading up to the wedding, and it was like she had superpowers during the events. Her intuition was uncanny; we would feverishly think of something that we needed just to turn around and find Julie holding it with a big smile on her face. Julie’s suggestions leading up to the events were spot on, and her strong relationships with local vendors allowed us to pluck the crown jewels of the area. We literally couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much, Julie!

Zach S. Sent on 06/25/2023We Recommend Julie Wholeheartedly
Our wedding absolutely would not have happened without Julie. She helped us shape the vision for our wedding from the start, connected us with the best vendors in the area, helped us keep track of the tiniest details, and gave us the reality checks we needed along the way.
As the forecast for our wedding day got progressively rainier, Julie coordinated everyone and pivoted our plans seamlessly so that we had a great rain plan in place for the day of. We remained blissfully ignorant of the couple of small fires that came up on our wedding day until Julie told us about them the day after. Our rainy wedding day was magical and all of our guests had a great time.
Julie managed everything with grace, from vendors and deadlines to wedding-day family dynamics. Sheis more than just a wedding planner; she's a problem-solver, a calming presence, and now, a friend we value. To anyone planning to tie the knot in VT, we wholeheartedly recommend Julie. Thank you, Julie, for playing such a vital role in making our day memorable.Julie Martin Olson Weddings & Events's reply:
Elizabeth and Zach, What a fun adventure we'e been on this past year! It was an honored to be a part of the planning and coordinating process. Thank you for your kind words. I truly hope we stay in touch. -

I truly cannot even begin to express how incredible Julie and her team are. Leading up to our wedding Julie was communicative, organized and extremely efficient. She stayed on top of all the big and small things leading up to our big day. She was there to guide us through our wedding timeline, choosing vendors and everything in between to ensure our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of!
On the day of our wedding Julie ensured everything ran smoothly, on time and according to plan! I had multiple guests and bridal party members come up to me and say "Julie and her assistant are so organized and so nice".
I cannot recommend Julie and her team enough, I am so grateful for her help throughout wedding prep and the wedding day!Julie Martin Olson Weddings & Events's reply:
Meghan and Patrick, What a very fun wedding! You hired the A Team vendors and it showed. The venue was magical. We enjoyed working with you and appreciate your words of praise. Wishing you both the best in San Diego! Stay in touch. -

Felicia Sent on 06/18/2023Julie is the best!
Julie made our wedding day perfect. She was so warm and welcoming and attentive to our needs from the very beginning when we started working her last summer all the way up to the big day. She also replied quickly to our questions and checked in with us often beforehand. She was so organized and so knowledgeable and attended meetings with our vendors with us. Leading up to the big day, she checked in often and kept us on track. She was also so helpful in leading our rehearsal at the church and everything went so smoothly. We are so happy we trusted her with our wedding. We didn’t need to worry about a thing and let Julie work her magic. We were so blown away by how well the wedding day went. Julie and her assistant Sydney were everywhere and anywhere providing their assistance, and checking in on my husband and I, our families, and our bridal party. They took care of EVERYTHING that day. We’ve heard horror stories of the bride and groom not having time to eat but Julie and Sydney brought us both plates of a a bit of each item on our menu. We were able to spend time just the two of us taking in the venue and enjoying the meal. We had so much fun, and we can’t thank Julie enough for her expertise in giving us an the best day ever!!Julie Martin Olson Weddings & Events's reply:
Felicia and Stephan, Thank you for the review and your kind words! I enjoyed getting to know you and your families during the planning process and especially on your wedding weekend. Wishing you all the very best.
