Operating out of Centreville, Maryland, Olive+Oak Event Co. is a wedding planning business catering to ceremonies and receptions in the local area and further afield. Owner Michaela Bussey watched from a young age as her parents catered to wedding ceremonies and special events, and a young Michaela felt inspired. Fast forward to 2015, and she has coordinated her first wedding, a roaring success; Olive+Oak Event Co. was born. Hi, I’m Michaela — owner of Olive+Oak Event Co. I’d like to think that I was thrown into the event world at around the age I could walk. My parents owned a deli and catering company that was a full family affair. When there wasn’t an event, our front door was wide open, welcoming friends and family for all types of celebrations. I learned early on that I had an eye for detail and loved the feeling of bringing people together. Once I found that I could major in events at college, and make a career out of planning big milestones for people who would leave with memories that would last a lifetime — I was sold. With experience from working at wedding venues, as a corporate event planner and executing weddings on my own, I have helped family, friends, coworkers and friends-of-friends bring to life their perfect day. I coordinated my first wedding in 2015 (shoutout to Sam and Jason) and I’ve never looked back. And after encouragement from my husband and family, it was time to make it official with Olive+Oak. Services Offered Olive+Oak Event Co. offers couples a choice of several different wedding day packages. These fully customizable packages cover full planning, partial planning, and day-of coordination. Michaela and her team can do everything from venue choice to style and budget while leaving the final decisions to their clients. Feel free to contact the team today to learn more.
