  • Best Decision for Our Wedding

    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!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Olivia from Afterglow Events for my client’s wedding, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her incredible talent and dedication to making the day absolutely perfect. From the moment my client met Olivia, it was clear that she was not just a wedding planner but a true artist in the world of event planning. Her attention to detail, creative flair, and passion for her work shone through in every aspect of the planning process. Olivia took the time to understand the vision, and with her expertise, she turned dreams into a reality.

    I had the opportunity to work with Olivia as a venue coordinator. Not only was she a pleasure to work with professionally, but she also fostered positive relationships with all the vendors involved. On the day of the event, her calm and composed demeanor helped alleviate any stress or concerns, ensuring that everyone involved could fully enjoy the celebration. It was truly a pleasure working with her!
