Meet your chaos coordinator :)
Hi, I’m Athena!
I founded Olive & Orchid Events because I believe every love story deserves to be celebrated to its fullest without the stress of planning it alone.
With over 20 years in hospitality, I naturally thrive in that sweet spot where meticulous organization meets creative storytelling. My journey started in restaurant leadership, where I learned that the best experiences come from anticipating needs and making people feel truly seen and cared for.
My "lightbulb" moment came when I planned my own wedding in just 45 days. In that beautiful, whirlwind experience, I quickly realized how essential a coordinator is. I also saw how hard it was to find professional, high-quality support that fit a realistic budget.
That gap inspired me to build a different kind of service. I wanted to take the guessing out of the process by bundling decor, vendor sourcing, and timeline management into affordable, high-impact packages.
Based in Fauquier County, I offer everything from day-of coordination to full comprehensive planning. Whether it's managing vendor logistics or keeping the day running smoothly behind the scenes, my approach is rooted in clear communication, calm execution, and thoughtful preparation.
My goal is simple: to make sure your wedding day feels intentional, effortless, and filled with joy.
Everyone's vision is unique, and I offer a variety of packages tailored to your exact needs.
Let's connect below...I can't wait to hear your story and help bring your wedding day to life!
