I'm Olivia
your partner in planning
I grew up hearing from friends and family about how fun my parents' wedding
was. This grand event; real party-of-the-century type stuff. That’s where my
appreciation for events started.
I know how important the actual event is, but I also never want to neglect the planning process. While
planning won’t be quite as fun as the big day, I’m determined to make you feel supported,
heard, and surrounded by good people from the second you start planning until
you ride off into the sunset. A wedding is a celebration! I’m here to ensure you don’t
get so bogged down in the planning that you forget that. I’ll take care of the details; you two can focus on enjoying yourselves!
I'm a Louisville native and have so enjoyed cultivating my business in this wonderful city I call home! I graduated from Centre College in 2019 and worked in the Beshear administration before launching OEE in 2021.
When I'm not event planning, I enjoy cooking and baking, listening to podcasts, and traveling. I'm a huge dog lover and volunteer for the Kentucky Humane Society. I can't wait to plan your most special day together!
Veronica Roessler
Associate planner
I was born in Mexico but grew up right here in Louisville and I’ve been obsessed with planning and organizing for as long as I can remember. My love for events started over a decade ago helping plan Quinceañeras, and it’s been full speed ahead ever since!
By day, I’m an Event Manager with the Kentucky Derby Festival, where I get to produce some of the city’s most iconic events like the Spring Fashion Show, the They’re Off! Luncheon, WineFest, and the Great Steamboat Race. I have also helped plan proms and worked as a wedding assistant prior to being an Associate Planner with Olivia, so I’ve seen it all!
Now-I’m beyond excited to bring that experience to wedding planning. I'm always on the hunt for fresh ideas and fun trends to keep every event feeling one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic, intimate vibe or throwing the party of the year, I’m here to help make it happen!
When I’m not busy with events, you’ll find me hanging out with my husband and our fur baby, scrolling for fresh inspo, or travelling around the world. Let’s plan something unforgettable!
Hannah Weinstein
Associate planner
Originally from Rhode Island, I have now called Kentucky home for the past 9 years. Graduating from Centre College in 2018, I am a strategist by trade for a company called LPL Financial. While I appreciate and value my day job, I always look to add a little bit of creative flair to my life.
As a creative-experience-seeking and self-proclaimed longtime admirer of Olivia, I jumped on the opportunity to work with her. She has been instrumental in helping me plan my own wedding - and I’m ecstatic to partner with you to help plan yours.
PS: I love all weddings - with a special place in my heart for those that are unique or nontraditional.
Riley Head
Associate planner
I grew up in Louisville but have called Cincinnati home for the past 6 years. I moved to Cincinnati to attend Xavier University where I graduated with dual degrees in Philosophy, Politics & the Public and Gender and Diversity studies.
I love helping couples plan their special day and ease some of the mental load of planning everything! My passion with wedding planning is helping my couples plan a day that feels special and unique to them; I want to help you build a wedding that speaks to your own love story!
I also work at Spruce Nail Shop and love dreaming up new nail art. I have two cats that I love more than life. I enjoy traveling and a good gin & tonic. I am honored to work with every single one of our wonderful couples!

Associate planner
Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, I originally met Olivia at Centre College! I joined the OEE team in 2021 and have loved meeting amazing couples and making their dream wedding come true ever since.
Outside of wedding planning, I work as a librarian at the Virginia Chance School. I love reading, solving crosswords as quickly as possible, and thrifting!
I'm so excited to be part of the Olivia Elise Events Team; I have a passion for event planning and hope to make your biggest day as seamless, beautiful, and fun as possible.

I am originally from Louisville but grew up in Litchfield, Kentucky. I graduated from Assumption High School and have a BA in Biology from the University of Louisville. I work as a pre-kindergarten teacher, but have always enjoyed event planning.
Through the years I have been on different committees and love seeing an idea turn into reality, from concept to execution. My favorite part about event planning is bringing people together and helping create memories for everyone to talk about for years to come!
Katherine Ison
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
I grew up in Louisville and attended Assumption High School. I graduated from Centre College with a BA in Anthropology and Sociology and a minor in Religious Studies. I then studied at Wake Forest School of Law, where I obtained my JD.
My day job is as a corporate litigation attorney but I have always loved event planning and enjoy any chance to help a couple plan their special day!
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my husband, toddler, and dog, and checking out new restaurants in Louisville!
