“My name is Stephanie Crea and my husband and I got married almost a year ago and worked with Pam Olson at the Avalon Hotel, where we had our reception. The very first time we met Pam to take a look at the space, we knew it was for us and couldn’t wait to work with her. The entire experience was more than we even knew we wanted. Pam was there for us the entire time, keeping us on track, and handling our every question or request. It felt like we were working with a friend who cared about us and our lives and wanted to make the experience special for us. Her team was so professional and easy to work with. We felt so secure knowing they were working to ensure everything went off without a hitch and it did. Every person at our wedding was commenting on how lovely and accommodating Pam and her team are and how amazing the entire wedding was! On top of that, every vendor she referred us to was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t believe how lucky we got by working with her. Even though our ceremony was not at the Avalon, Pam did not hesitate when we asked if she would accompany us to our church rehearsal to ask the questions we wouldn’t know to ask and coordinate the procession and music on our big day. We were both overwhelmed and she stepped in and completely took care of us. I could go on and on but I couldn’t imagine how differently our experience would have been without Pam. And I don’t want to! In short we absolutely love Pam and her team and think every bride and groom should get the experience we were lucky enough to have.”

“Planning a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful at times. There are so many things to consider
and decisions to make. And then you meet Pam Olson who encourages you to Trust, Relax and Breathe
while she leads you through a memorable experience. Pam was the event planner for our daughter & son-in-law’s wedding several years ago and is now working with our son & his fiancé to plan their upcoming 2021 wedding. Pam’s wedding and event planning experience, her valued professional relationships with other vendors, her creative ideas, her strict attention to and respect for to the “budget”, and most of all her hands-on approach to walking the wedding family through every step are just a few of her proven attributes. I have referred Weddings by Pam Olson to other friends, who share in their appreciation of this awesome lady. Plus, she is incredibly kind and FUN! Another tribute to Pam is that many of her brides and their families become lifelong friends. Pam has a proven reputation of capturing the bride and groom’s vision, their style, then guiding them to make their wedding dreams come true.”

“I had the good fortune of meeting Pam while planning my Palm Springs wedding. From the moment I met her, I felt so comfortable and at ease – Pam is truly the embodiment of her motto 'Trust. Relax. Breathe'. I didn't have a very strong vision of what I wanted for our wedding day, but Pam helped me craft the most perfect weekend by guiding me through the decision making process, and introducing me to top notch vendors. While we were planning the wedding, Pam always went out of her way to make me feel special and constantly impressed me with her ability to recall even the smallest details of previous conversations. Going into the wedding weekend, I had total confidence in Pam's expertise and was able to focus fully on enjoying the festivities with my (now!) husband, our families and friends. It was one of our happiest days and I will forever feel indebted to Pam for bringing it to life.”

“Pam Olson is the biggest reason my husband and I chose the Avalon Hotel as our wedding venue. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her commitment to detail is second to none. The biggest piece of advice my married friends told me in regards to wedding planning was to think long and hard about who I wanted to be around on my wedding day. As soon as I met Pam, my answer was ‘her!' I had a worry free weekend and she and her team were kind, flexible and lovely to be around. I cannot recommend Pam Olsen enough as your wedding coordinator."

“Working with Pam is like working with a fairy godmother that instantly takes away the stress and overwhelming feeling of planning a wedding. With extensive venue and vendor relations, she pairs you with the perfect A-team to ensure your wedding day is the vision you've always wanted. I cannot say enough good things about Pam. If you are looking for someone to provide the best wedding insight, look no further. What are you waiting for? Pick up the phone and call her right now! I am a wedding photographer and I know the importance of working with a wedding planner and coordinator. It makes the day not only easier on you but for all the vendors involved on the big day. So much time, effort, and energy goes into planning an event, let alone a wedding day! Why go through all the unnecessary Pinterest shopping and DIY thinking. Pam will take your vision and connect you with the right vendors that will fulfill your vision for you. No need to think you are in this alone. Planning a wedding is overwhelming, having Pam alongside you is like having a BFF that's been in the industry for decades.”

“We were very fortunate to work with Pam to plan and coordinate our dream wedding. She was attentive to our requests and was a pleasure to work with. Her years of experience made her an asset, especially for the day-of needs and preparation. We had no stress on our wedding day because we knew everything was in Pam’s capable and caring hands!”

“Look no further. Pam Olson is the perfect wedding coordinator. I was anxious when I set out to pick a planner. "Will he/she be responsive enough?" "Will they understand my vision?", "Will they help me stay within my budget?", "Will they ensure when I look back I have no regrets?". With Pam the answer was yes to every one of these key questions. Pam was flexible to my communication style and dealt with all my crazy excel docs. She brought me the right amount of options without overwhelming. She was always realistic with me about our budget, and in many ways she helped our budget go much further than it would have. I truly appreciated her honesty, always polite, but she always told us what we needed vs. what probably wasn't necessary, and never upsold us. I trusted her and it proved to be the right choice. Most importantly Pam is a delight to work with. She's kindhearted and never gets annoyed with all of the requests. I felt like she wasn't just a coordinator but a true believer that my wedding should be as perfect as possible. If you're still wondering if you should book with her let me say this last piece: My wedding was 4 days long with 8 different events, and it went off without a hitch. This woman can do it all.”

“Pam Olson is a fabulous wedding planner! We instantly clicked after she planned my older sister's wedding in Palm Desert. We knew that we wanted her to be our day-of coordinator for our big day in La Jolla. Pam helped us achieve our dream wedding. The wedding itself was flawless. Throughout the entire planning process, Pam was extremely responsive. The day of our wedding, Pam's calm, cool, and collective demeanor radiated on our big day. Everything was perfect from the decor to the music and food. Pam has become a very dear friend to our family and even attended our baby shower. I love sharing Pam's name with anyone looking for an amazing wedding planner!”

“A girl's most precious time in life would be finding her prince and having that special wedding with her prince. I have always wanted my fairy tale to be a reality and with that perfect wedding comes that perfect wedding coordinator. I am so lucky to say that I found my perfect wedding coordinator in Pam Olson. Pam and I clicked the moment we met. She is so warm, inviting, and down to earth that I knew immediately I would love to have her plan my wedding. We worked so well together and she attended to my every need. She was always organized with all the vendors and has a strong network and relationship with a variety of vendors. We planned my wedding happily in perfect organization. Pam is very in tune with all of my needs and returned my calls and emails almost immediately. On the day of my wedding, I had complete confidence that it would be exactly how I envisioned it, and it was. I did not have to worry about anything and everything went as planned. I have absolutely fond memories of planning my wedding and the logistics of my wedding day turned out beautifully. I will always hold warm thoughts of my wedding planning journey thanks to Pam. She is one of the best wedding planners I have met and through the process we have become life long friends. Thank you so much Pam for being an outstanding and faithful wedding planner for Steven and I!!!”

“Are you looking to have a perfect wedding day, that is stress free and in the hands of someone you trust? Pam Olson was that for me. Robert and I met Pam back in June of 2019 and in person September 2019 in Palm Springs. This is where we were looking to plan our dream destination wedding. We really had no idea where to start and we’re only going to be able to make a single 3 day trip to Palm Springs before we were going to get married. She had arranged to meet with us and had a full team of wedding vendors ready to go including a florist, DJ, baker, multiple venues, and an officiant to meet with. This was planning a wedding on steroids. We had figured out all of the big details and vendors that weekend when we had met with her. She kept in contact and helped me figure out all the rest of the details including the escort board, food, type of florals, timelines, and so much more all over email or through the phone. Due to COVID-19 our wedding that was fully planned and supposed to be May 4th, 2020 was now cancelled.... I was crushed, but knew we needed to figure out a plan b. Pam was willing to help however she could to figure out what our next move was going to be with the few options that we had. She helped me find an option to still get married just a couple months later closer to home for me in Coeur d'Alene, ID at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. We had to find new vendors and basically start from scratch and this is not a simple task when many things are closed during a time like this. I could not have pulled this all together if it was not for Pam, her insight and knowledge for weddings is incomparable to anyone else that we had talked to or worked with. I was unsure if she was going to be able to actually travel up for the big day and she made it!!!! She helped me have the most perfect, stress free, relaxing day, and handling anything that came her way. I can not thank Pam enough for all of her hard work and time she put in for us. We love you Pam and are so lucky to call you a friend! We will be visiting Palm Springs soon once things ease up with the pandemic!”
