Olive & Rose Events

There are a number of wonderful event planners in Pittsburgh and I know it can become overwhelming choosing the right one.  Even if you decide not to hire me, let me offer this piece of advice: Experience is key in this business.  It’s actually key for any of the vendors that you will be considering for your event.  Anyone can put up a website and claim to be an event planner or buy a DSLR camera and call themselves a photographer.  Do your research.  Event planning is a “learn on the job” career.  I’ve worked in the industry for eight years and the majority of what I know has come from my experiences.  I know what questions to ask, how to proactively avoid certain mishaps, which vendors are great to work with and how to stay on budget (such a pesky part of the planning).  I actually wrote an article on how to choose the perfect planner.
