I wanted a planner who was familiar with my venues, so they could provide guidance throughout the process. I found The Olive Tree Weddings on Hotel Haya’s preferred vendor list.

When I initially reached out to Amanda Biery, she was quick to respond and very friendly on the phone. What stood out to me most was that she has helped plan many weddings at both Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Hotel Haya, which won me over.

I hired her for a month of coordination, and her organization and communication with the rest of my vendors kept me stress-free the whole month. I would recommend them to all of my friends who are planning weddings.

We looked for someone who was knowledgeable on all the vendors available to us since we are not local to the area. We wanted somebody who could be there on the wedding day to coordinate the whole event. We also wanted someone who would be open to helping us create a unique experience for us and our guests.

When we had our first call with Amanda Biery, the owner of The Olive Tree Weddings, we felt very comfortable speaking with her. She had a confidence about her that made us know she’d do a great job. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, Amanda was kind, accommodating, and professional, and provided us with a lot of insight on the various decisions that needed to be made.

She was timely on all email responses and provided us with resources to keep us on track of our budget and wedding planning timeline. Amanda Biery is truly an expert at what she does, and it is shown through her work and communication. The Olive Tree Weddings completely outdid themselves, and the day would not have run as smoothly without them. We owe our wedding day all to them!

We were looking for a wedding planner who really understood our vision, but who could also guide us through the process without making it feel overwhelming. It was also really important to find someone we could trust and connect with on a personal level. At the end of the day, we were looking for someone who could help us stay grounded, make the big decisions easier, and create a day that truly felt like us.

We chose The Olive Tree Weddings because from the very first phone conversation, Amanda just got us. Her style was effortlessly cool, elevated, and modern, which is exactly what we were looking for. We could tell right away that Amanda was organized, professional, and totally on top of everything, down to the smallest details.

Their service was truly next-level. They handled everything with total calm, and made the planning process feel way less overwhelming. We honestly couldn’t imagine the day without them! Amanda was a huge part of what made it all come together so seamlessly!

I wanted either a full or partial planner to assist with vendor outreach, organization, and overall expertise. Thankfully, my sister did some research and found The Olive Tree Weddings; she sent me their social media and website, to ensure their portfolio aligned with our vision, ideas, and personalities before making a decision. We decided to work with The Olive Tree Weddings after our initial phone call with Amanda Biery. Right from the start, she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I immediately felt that we were aligned with our vision, and her guidance on vendors, layout, and all the details was invaluable

Amanda is personable and trustworthy, which made the entire wedding planning process feel stress-free. She was also incredibly patient—especially when I struggled with certain decisions, like when I texted her for the 100th time about rearranging seating because of a new Instagram picture, or announced that I had bought a fountain for champagne and flowers. I had complete confidence that she and her team would execute our vision, but when we arrived at the venue on our wedding day, we were truly blown away—it exceeded all our expectations. The day ran so smoothly, and if it didn’t we had no idea because the Olive Tree team handled it right away. I’ve already recommended Amanda and her services to my friends in Tampa because our experience with them was seamless. We’re so sad that after two years of planning, our time working together has come to an end!

We needed someone who could really take control that day. Amanda Biery from The Olive Tree Weddings knows Ybor City inside and out, and she was so familiar with all our other vendors. Her knowledge of the area and her professionalism gave me a huge sense of confidence and trust. Amanda and her team were absolutely wonderful, and I highly recommend her for all events, especially weddings in Ybor City.

I was looking for a planner who shared my vision and knew the venue well. Hotel Haya recommended The Olive Tree Weddings and after checking out their Instagram, it was apparent they work often at the venue. After speaking with Amanda once and hearing her excitement for my vision, I knew she was the perfect fit. Their service was great, and it was a huge help to have Amanda answer all of my questions at any hour of the day or night. She was super helpful, organized, and responsive.

Hotel Haya recommended Amanda with The Olive Tree Weddings when I told them my vision. I interviewed a few planners, but Amanda was the only one who offered to meet me in person and started going over ideas with me before she was even hired. I walked out of our first meeting at Starbucks and knew I had found my planner.

Amanda and Kinsey were my planners, wedding besties, and therapists all in one. Their service was incredible! You know you picked the right planner when you miss talking to them! They were with me at all my appointments. I recommend them to everyone! Not only did they make my experience amazing, but they were truly right by my side the entire day. I honestly don’t know how they do it all, but they are the most dynamic duo. I know how busy they are, but they make you feel like you are their main priority. The best thing you can do is just go ahead and hire them!

We were looking for affordability. I initially didn’t want to have a wedding at all, so I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on planning.

I was so lucky to find The Olive Tree Weddings, who were affordable but also did incredible work! Looking back, the things I valued most about Amanda were her reliability (they were such a fun team to work with), flexibility, attention to detail, masterfully dealing with hiccups and chaotic guests, and great relationships with vendors. My planner was amazing in dealing with the chaos of having extra people show up.

Amanda, the owner of The Olive Tree Weddings, is a lot like myself which is why we connected so well. I knew instantly she was very organized, responsive, and available to bounce ideas off whenever I needed her.

She is truly the main reason this wedding happened. Most of my wedding vendors were recommended by my planner. We are both extremely busy and relied on her tremendously in that area. We told her what our vision was, and she executed it flawlessly. Hotel Haya and The Olive Tree were the true stars of the entire wedding. On the day of, leave everything in your amazing wedding planner’s hands and enjoy every moment because it is truly one of the most incredible days of your life.

I wanted someone who could see things my way and capture my vision. I needed someone to completely take over the event while I enjoyed my wedding day. I found Amanda at The Olive Tree Weddings, and after our first meeting, we clicked right away. I wasn’t raised in the U.S. so I knew very little about weddings here. I needed a true professional who could not only help me during the day of my wedding but guide me through the process. She was my right hand, and I would not be able to get this wedding done without her!
