"After more than twenty years in luxury events, one belief has remained constant: people are at the centre of everything. Every event is defined by how it is experienced by the people in the room. We design atmosphere, anticipation and a sense of discovery. When people feel welcomed, cared for and genuinely connected to one another, they remember that feeling."

With more than 25 years of experience in luxury events and weddings, Olivia plans Ireland’s most complex and significant celebrations. She leads a team of experienced event planners responsible for the planning, production and delivery of each commission.

Providing strategic oversight throughout the process, Olivia works closely with principals and international families, guiding important decisions with confidence and discretion.

Known for her sophisticated design sensibility and strategic vision, Olivia creates immersive celebrations that are highly personal and entirely original. Every detail is considered through the lens of guest experience, ensuring each event feels as memorable as it is meaningful.

Planning Events in Ireland

For International Principals and Families

For Olivia, Ireland is far more than a backdrop for a celebration. It is a country defined by its people, hospitality, culture and sense of welcome. Passionate about sharing that experience with an international audience, she works closely with principals and families to create events that feel both authentic to Ireland and personal to those hosting them.

Drawing on decades of local knowledge and relationships, Olivia introduces clients to the people, places and experiences that inspire guests to fall in love with Ireland long after the event has ended.
