Having Deanna and Kelly at our wedding was literally the best decision about our day. Our original wedding planner could not make it when we had to postpone our wedding (because COVID) so she recommended the ladies at Olive Branch. And we are SO THANKFUL she did. We went through 10+ iterations of our wedding day and ended up scrapping everything 2 weeks prior to move it to a small backyard wedding. Kelly was more than amazing and helpful with everything. Since we made the swap so last minute and quick we really relied on her to set the table setting and with food. It was set beautifully and we had the best day of our lives. They are both great about answering emails we had, meeting with us via zoom or in person, contact vendors, etc. We really could not have asked for a more positive, friendly group of ladies to work with. Recommend 100000%!

I cannot say enough nice things about Deanna and Olive Branch Events Co. Deanna was my month of coordinator for my wedding at the end of June, and she did such a fantastic job. She was able to put together my vision perfectly, she was an amazing problem solver, and made the weeks leading up to the wedding so much less stressful. As a destination wedding, Deanna ensured that all of my vendors were on the same page, which was such a relief. On the big day, she made sure that all I had to do was enjoy the moment. Deanna is a wonderful professional, and a delight to work this. Highly recommend!

I hired Deanna back in February as my wedding planner and little did I know then I was hiring my lifeline for this year. We changed our wedding plans at least 4 times because of the pandemic, and Deanna helped us get to our final goal of getting married no matter what on December 31st, 2020. That came with a lot of emails, tears (on my end), open minds, and lots of positivity. I know I threw so much at her, and I truly don’t know how I will ever repay her for her time and effort to make our day as magical as it was, but let me start with this post at least. If you’re getting married, I HIGHLY recommend hiring Deanna at Olive Branch Company. She will make your life so much easier, will make your day all about you, and will make whatever is really important to you a reality.

Our initial decision to hire a wedding planner was to preserve our investment, and for a point person to carry out our wedding day vision. However, Deanna became SO much more for us, especially given the fact that we planned and carried out a wedding in the middle of a pandemic! Deanna was super responsive to emails, was our reassurance among the chaos, and stuck with us during the many many changes that needed to happen due to COVID. When our original venue could not accommodate our size group due to restrictions (less than 2 months before our wedding date!), Deanna immediately went into action and searched out and inquired at 15+ other venues for us; despite only being hired as a day of coordinator. She was patient and flexible with us as we began to plan wedding 2.0! We shared hundreds of emails throughout the planning process, and Deanna never wavered in her willingness to work with us and truly became an emotional support. She seamlessly coordinated our rehearsal wa... Read morelk-through, and took care of all important communication with vendors, wedding party members, and family, including a detailed schedule for the day. Everyone involved with the wedding could not say enough great things about Deanna and her team. As hectic and crazy as a wedding day can be, we had all the confidence in the world with OBEC in charge! They were wonderful in cueing for the ceremony, flipping the space for the reception, getting gifts and important items to our suite, and taking care of clean up at the end of the night. We honestly could not have pulled off the safe, yet loving and fun celebration we had without Deanna and her team. I would HIGHLY recommend OBEC to anyone looking for an organized, empathetic team to carry out your beautiful wedding day!

Hiring Deanna was the BEST wedding decision we made! She is so easy to work with and is very responsive to emails. On our wedding day we didn't have to lift a finger--Deanna took care of absolutely everything for us and we were able to spend the entire day completely stress and worry free! She literally did everything day-of: organized the vendors, pinned all the flowers, kept everyone on time, and did all of the cleanup for us afterwards. I can guarantee if you hire Deanna as your coordinator you will have no regrets about it and your big day will run so smoothly with her on your side. 10/10 would absolutely recommend :)

What a light and joy in our lives!!! I was a nervous wreck trying to assess how I would balance family expectation, budget, dreams, and fun (you know - actually enjoying it all). My husband and I would push things off day by day because we simply didn't know how or where to start. Deanna came in with poise, patience, grace, balance, kindness, and UNDERSTANDING. She listened to all of our chaos and helped us narrow down our goals, balance our budget, and manage ALL THAT EXPECTATION from EVERYONE. She was always happy to talk with us, personable, and genuine. I loved that she would make our day with cute pictures of her pooch, or a reminder that life was going to be wonderful, no matter what happened. At the root of everything, she helped us remember to breathe and simply enjoy being together. My family and friends had nothing but good things to say about Deanna and her team! They were all very efficient and incredibly friendly. They knew how to keep the ball rolling while allowing you t... Read moreo forget about the tiny details. Somehow we made it - without a single hiccup - from set up to tear down. I could not have asked for a better experience, and feel incredibly blessed to have had such a wonderful human to walk me through our big day. With Deanna, our wedding was a complete breeze, and the happiest of our lives. ❤️❤️❤️

Deanna is hardworking, quick responding, helpful, caring, funny, and chill. She made our planning and wedding day experience a breeze!
