The biggest part of our job isn’t always visible; most of the job happens behind the scenes so you can be fully present.

You’re not hiring us to create a beautiful wedding day; you’re hiring us to protect your peace.

We answer questions before you ask them; and almost always have them solved before you know they exist!

We keep your vendors aligned and your day moving seamlessly.

This means you invest in a Coordinator and your peace of mind.

Your wedding day is about more than getting through the timeline—it’s about actually getting to enjoy it.

Did you know we do full planning AND design for events?

While we’re known for weddings, our expertise goes way beyond the wedding day.

From corporate events and networking experiences to celebrations and everything in between, we can help bring the whole event together from the big-picture vision and planning to the logistics, vendors, design, and ex*****on.

You bring the idea. We’ll help turn it into an event people remember.

Planning + Design + Logistics + Ex*****on = one less thing for you to worry about.

A perfectly built timeline?

A vendor who actually reads the timeline?

A venue with clear loading instructions?

A bridal party that knows where they need to be before I have to find them?

A floor plan that actually matches the room?

Vendors who communicate with each other?

A couple who trusts us enough to enjoy their cocktail hour instead of asking what’s happening?

Fixing a problem before the couple ever knows there was a problem?

A clean vendor load-in and load-out?

A photographer who sticks to the timeline & knows when to grab the candid moment?

A wedding day where the couple never once has to ask, “What’s happening next?”

Super chic 💕

The biggest wedding mistake couples make? Thinking backyard weddings are easier.

A backyard wedding might save you the venue rental fee, but it often adds a whole new layer of logistics that most couples never see coming.

Power. Washrooms. Parking. Garbage removal. Tent permits. Rental deliveries. Vendor access. Weather backup plans. Guest flow. Timeline management.

At a traditional wedding venue, much of this infrastructure already exists. In a backyard, someone has to create it from scratch.

And on your wedding day, that “someone” shouldn’t be you, your parents, or your wedding party.

This is exactly why wedding coordination is so important. While you’re getting ready, taking photos, and celebrating with your guests, your coordinator is managing vendors, troubleshooting issues, directing deliveries, overseeing setup, and making sure every detail comes together as planned.

Backyard weddings can be absolutely beautiful. But they’re rarely simpler.

Planning a backyard wedding in Edmonton or the surrounding area? Make sure you have an experienced wedding coordinator on your team before you start booking rentals.

“What does my wedding coordinator actually do while I’m getting ready?”

A lot more than you think.

While you’re sipping mimosas, getting your hair and makeup done, sharing special moments with your wedding party, and enjoying your first look photos, your wedding coordinator is already hard at work behind the scenes making sure your Edmonton wedding day runs seamlessly.

• Confirming vendor arrivals and directing them to the correct locations
• Overseeing ceremony and reception setup
• Ensuring décor, signage, and personal details are placed exactly as planned
• Managing the wedding timeline and adjusting for delays
• Answering questions from vendors, guests, and family members
• Coordinating transportation arrivals and departures
• Preparing ceremony cues and organizing the wedding party
• Troubleshooting unexpected issues before you ever hear about them
• Confirming your reception space is guest-ready
• Being the point person so your family and friends don’t have to be

The goal isn’t just to keep things organized. It’s to protect your time.

Your wedding morning should be spent making memories, not answering vendor calls, solving problems, or wondering if everything is getting done.

That’s what your wedding coordinator is there for.

At Olivia Fata Events, we proudly provide wedding coordination and wedding planning services for couples throughout Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Beaumont, and Central Alberta.

You focus on the moments.
We’ll handle the logistics.

This spring looked a little different for us.

I embraced a slower season filled with travel, family time, coffee dates with friends, and catching up on all the moments that often get pushed aside during our busiest months.

Meanwhile, Chelsea May | Wedding Coordinator had a full spring supporting our incredible client events and wedding clients.

And honestly? It was exactly what we both needed.

As wedding and event season officially arrives, we’re stepping into it with full hearts, clear minds, and a commitment to being intentional with our time, our energy, and most importantly, our clients.

As an Edmonton wedding planning and coordination team, every event we take on is personal. Every timeline, every detail, and every celebration matters deeply to us. We never want to be so busy that we can’t give our couples, wedding vendors, and event partners the attention they deserve.

To everyone who trusts Olivia Fata Events with your weddings, celebrations, and milestones, thank you. We love what we do because of each and every one of you.

Here’s to a season of meaningful celebrations, unforgettable wedding days, strong vendor partnerships, and showing up fully for the people we serve throughout Edmonton and Alberta.

A must-read for couples planning their wedding day.

There’s often confusion between the role of a Wedding Coordinator and a Decorator/Rental Team, but the truth is, we all play very different (and equally important) roles in bringing a wedding to life.

Coordination, styling, setup, rentals, installations, teardown logistics… they are not all the same service, and no one vendor can realistically do it all well.

Understanding who handles what helps create smoother timelines, clearer expectations, and a far better experience for everyone involved — especially you. 🤍
