Everyone loves working with her

We truly cannot say enough good things about Julie—she is an absolute 10/10 wedding planner! From the very beginning, she was such a joy to work with

“We truly cannot say enough good things about Julie—she is an absolute 10/10 wedding planner! From the very beginning, she was such a joy to work with. She has an incredible talent for balancing thoughtful suggestions and expert opinions while never taking away from our vision. Julie has such a gift for design and vision, and her relationships with vendors are unmatched—everyone loves working with her, and it shows.

On our wedding day, we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She was beyond organized, calm, and prepared, and she thought of every little detail. The day ran seamlessly because of her. She went above and beyond—making sure we always had water, drinks, food—taking care of things before we even realized we needed them.

Our families were equally impressed by her warmth and professionalism, and everyone felt so comfortable in her care. We are endlessly grateful we had Julie by our side—our wedding truly would not have been the same without her.”

She's amazing!

Julie is hands down the best wedding coordinator! I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend perfect

“Julie is hands down the best wedding coordinator! I can’t recommend her enough. From the start, she went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend perfect.

My husband and I were unsure about a lot of things, but Julie was so patient and understanding. She took the time to show us multiple venues and always listened to our feedback. When we decided to go a more untraditional route, Julie was completely supportive and made sure everything was well-coordinated.

Throughout the planning process, Julie made everything so easy. She recommended amazing vendors, kept us on track, and always responded quickly to any questions. Even though she was working with many other couples, I always felt like I was her only client.

On the wedding day, Julie was a lifesaver. I was able to focus entirely on enjoying the day, knowing Julie was handling all the details. She calmed my nerves, made sure everything went smoothly, and was there to offer a drink or appetizer when I needed it.

If you’re looking for a coordinator who will truly care you about your day, Julie is the one. It’s no surprise she’s been named 2025’s Best Wedding Planner by Seven Daysies, she’s amazing!!”

I can guarantee she is worth every penny.

My wife and I got engaged in Boston in 2023 and shortly thereafter relocated to our hometown area of Connecticut. We both have deep roots in the great State of Vermont

“My wife and I got engaged in Boston in 2023 and shortly thereafter relocated to our hometown area of Connecticut. We both have deep roots in the great State of Vermont and knew immediately we wanted to celebrate our wedding in the greater Burlington area.

We began our search for a venue and quickly realized we would need help if we were to pull off the wedding we both pictured. After some online research, a few phone interviews and discussion with our families, we decided we would entrust our big day with Julie Olson.

Throughout our 2 year engagement, our relationship with Julie grew well beyond trusted advice. We could tell that she genuinely cared about our vision and wanted to see it come to life as much as we did. Her style stretches beyond positivity and simple words of encouragement. While she certainly tells you what you’re doing right, more importantly, she isn’t afraid to tell you when you’re at risk of making a mistake; which is probably what we are most grateful for in hindsight.

Having someone as experienced as Julie, especially as an out-of-State couple investing in a Vermont wedding, is completely invaluable. She knew all the best local vendors on a first name basis, helped us coordinate ALL the day-of details/timeline, setting up/breaking down our entire reception (even offering to share her own wedding decor), and kept our entire ceremony/reception flowing perfectly. With about 20 different vendor staff members onsite for our wedding, Julie was able to effectively communicate and ensure the team was all on the same page both before and during the day.

True story.. My wife had an entire espresso martini dumped on her wedding dress within the first five minutes of our cocktail hour and Julie (and her assistant) miraculously cleaned her dress so you couldn’t even see it, calmed our nerves and kept our night flowing like it never happened.

If you are considering Julie Olson for your wedding, I can guarantee she is worth every penny.”

You won't regret it!

I truly cannot put into words how amazing and talented Julie Olson is. While her title may be “wedding planner,” she is so much more than that.

“I truly cannot put into words how amazing and talented Julie Olson is. While her title may be “wedding planner,” she is so much more than that.

Julie’s kindness, patience, and meticulous attention to detail gave me the wedding of my dreams. From day one of planning through the very last moment of our big day, she went above and beyond in ways I never even thought possible.

Your wedding day can feel overwhelming, but not when Julie is by your side. I never once had to worry if things were being handled—she was always ten steps ahead, making sure everything (and everyone) was perfectly in place so I could simply relax and enjoy our beautiful celebration.

What makes Julie truly special is that she genuinely cares about her brides. No task is too big or too small—whether it was helping me into my shoes, fixing a wardrobe hiccup, or even touching up my curls after the humidity got to them.

It’s no surprise that Julie has nothing but 5-star reviews. Her mission is to give every couple the wedding of their dreams, and she absolutely delivers. If you’re lucky enough to book her, do it—you won’t regret it!”

What a godsend!

Julie was our best decision of our entire wedding, which is saying a lot because our day was perfect and we worked with a lot of incredible vendors

“Julie was our best decision of our entire wedding, which is saying a lot because our day was perfect and we worked with a lot of incredible vendors. We were initially overwhelmed by what it would take to plan a wedding, and from the very first call, Julie put us at ease that we would be able to put together a day that fit who we are. We had a lot of decision paralysis, but with every call, Julie cut down the task list into bite sized pieces and focused on what needed to be done more immediately vs what could be back burnered and we left every call feeling 10x better and much more on task. She listened to what was important to us (for example fitting in a hike the morning of) and gave us suggestions and recommendations for how we would make that happen. She also helped us find many of our vendors - providing numerous recommendations of vendors that she had good experiences with in the past or even sourcing more from her network.

On the weekend of, Julie was so organized and calm. More than willing to engage in last minute detail brainstorming (like figuring out if we use a table runner or not). If there were any fires on the day of, we had absolutely no idea. Her and her assistant, Sydney, were calm, cool, collected, and so fun while simultaneously doing EVERYTHING. They kept us hydrated, showing up at our sides with cups/water bottles all throughout the day & night, and truly allowed us to stay present and not worry about a thing.

We may not have made it to the alter without Julie. What a godsend.”
