Where do I even begin with Olivia and her team at Cloud 9 events -- they are INCREDIBLE. Olivia was the first vendor we hired after booking our venue and date, and she was immensely helpful for the entire process. She was collaborative with us from the very beginning, creating a custom package to perfectly meet our planning needs. When we started the process of wedding planning, we were very overwhelmed and Olivia supported us the entire journey. She helped us get organized (and stay organized), manage priorities, communicate with all our vendors, and come up with seemingly endless amounts of creative solutions. Olivia's experience and expertise show in everything she does. She has an extensive network in the San Juan Islands, and beyond, and was able to connect us into her community in any ways we needed during the planning process. She is INCREDIBLY detail oriented and put in so much work before our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. AND IT DID -- the wedding weekend was executed flawlessly. Olivia and her team went above and beyond to ensure that everything (and I mean **everything**) went exactly to plan. On wedding day, Olivia and her team anticipated needs we didn't know we had and made sure that we were always taken care of (one of her assistants even hand delivered the bride's coat at the welcome party when they noticed her shivering by the guests). Our guests were raving about how kind, bubbly, and helpful Olivia and her team were. Wedding planning is such a big thing and Olivia made the whole process FUN for us. She truly feels like family to us now after she beautifully coordinated our 3-day wedding marathon. I cannot speak highly enough of Olivia and her team. If you are looking for a wedding planner in the San Juans, look no further -- OLIVIA & CLOUD 9 ARE YOUR PEOPLE!!

We have had the pleasure of working with Olivia on many weddings, and every single time she proves to be an absolute gem in this industry. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and calm presence make each event run seamlessly. She not only takes the time to truly understand the couple’s vision, but also brings together vendors and teams in a way that feels effortless and collaborative.From the very first meeting to the last dance of the night, Olivia is always one step ahead, anticipating needs and making sure everything flows perfectly. Couples are consistently at ease in her care, and as fellow vendors, we are always grateful to have her leading the way.If you are looking for a wedding planner who combines warmth, creativity, and flawless execution, Olivia is truly one of the best. We highly recommend her!The Paella Team

We worked with Olivia from Cloud 9 Events for my daughters wedding on San Juan Island. Olivia and her team engineered THE PERFECT DAY!. Olivia is extremely organized and her prep work over the preceding months really paid off. She has checklists and pre- wedding tips and she is very encouraging and helpful throughout the planning process. Then on the actual wedding weekend, everything went seamlessly and required no effort on the part of the families. Her team does it all!

2025-08-25T17:31:23.105Z

I absolutely love working with Cloud9! As a floral designer, I get to see firsthand how much heart and attention they put into their couples and clients. They have such a high-touch, thoughtful approach, and they also make collaborating with vendors like me an absolute breeze. Olivia and her team truly elevate the whole event experience. Highly recommend!

My husband and I just had our wedding this past weekend and we couldn’t have done it without Olivia and her team. Right from the beginning of planning, she was extremely helpful in providing an inside scoop on what to expect from vendors, pricing, logistics etc. Throughout the planning process lots of vendors we worked with would tell us how Olivia and her team were their favorite to work with and it became very clear why when it came to the wedding weekend. Her and her team had everything planned to a tee, and despite the weekend being jam packed and scheduled in sometime a 30 minute increments, my husband, family, and friends felt no stress and were able to be completely “present” for the whole weekend all thanks to Olivia. I could not recommend her and her team enough, and if you’re reading this - this is your sign to book that consultation with her. You will be thankful you did. 🫶🤍

Olivia + her team at Cloud 9 are unmatched. They move and work flawlessly together, synchronized. Every detail is perfect, communication is next level, and they’re all so kind and friendly. As a photographer who has worked with countless wedding planning teams, Cloud 9 will always be at the top of my recommendations!

2025-02-05T22:55:41.887Z

Olivia and her team at Cloud 9 Events were nothing short of amazing. We had originally wanted to do our wedding somewhere on the San Juans because the location is a very special place to us, but we didn’t know where to start and were working on a limited budget. When we met with Olivia we explained our situation and she was eager to help us out and was certain we could make our dream wedding come to life. We ended up settling on the Camp Moran Environmental Learning Center (Olivia’s brilliant suggestion) and determined we would be having a summer camp themed wedding. Throughout the year+ long wedding planning process, Olivia gave us thoughtful suggestions, kept us on track with planning, and offered her connections that she has on Orcas Island. Living out of state, we were concerned that we may miss a few details planning everything from afar, but the team at Cloud 9 worked with us on everything and made sure our plan was being implemented perfectly. The weekend of the wedding came and Olivia went above and beyond. From coordinating the catering team and music equipment, helping us with picnic tables and benches, to having her husband come help late in the night to fix the commercial fridge that had went out - saving us from a catering disaster! We were so happy with our choice to use Cloud 9 Events to plan our wedding and we cannot recommend them enough. They are willing to go the extra mile for their clients to ensure that their wedding gets planned and executed to perfection!

The cloud 9 team helped make our multi-day camp wedding a raging success!!!

2025-01-02T00:00:00.000Z

Never knew such competent, organized, friendly, helpful people. Olivia and the whole team are a great joy to work with. This is the way to go.

Could not have found a team who cared more for our wedding and our love than C9. Olivia, Annalies, Alicia, and everyone involved were so communicative, so helpful, and when things went wrong on the day of, they dropped everything to find a solution so that I didn't have to stress at all. Out of every decision we made on our wedding day, booking with them was the best by far.

2024-11-26T01:50:12.294Z

Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more, thanks to Olivia and the Cloud 9 team! We planned a full weekend of activities, and without giving all the details, it certainly wasn't a simple endeavor to pull it all off. Olivia and her team made it so that not only did everything work out incredibly smoothly, but we got to enjoy it all to the fullest while Cloud 9 took care of the leg work. Also, Olivia clearly CARED about us and that we not go into debt for our wedding. When it came time for the wedding weekend and we met the rest of Olivia's team and all the incredible vendors she has connections with, it felt like family! We can't recommend her enough.

As the owner of Orcas Island Scenic Shuttle I have worked with Olivia providing transportation for her events over the last several years. Her professionalism and attention to detail makes working with her and her well trained staff easy. I know well in advance what vehicles she needs, the schedule, and how many drivers. Her and her staff are in constant communication with me up to and during the event. Any changes are relayed in a timely manner and that allows me to be flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Cloud 9 for any event on Orcas!

As the owner of Scenic Shuttle I have worked with Olivia over the past several years assisting with transportation for her her events. Her attention to detail, communication skills, and professional staff have made my job easy. My company knows well in advance what vehicles are required, the schedule, and what personnel are required. Olivia and her staff remain in constant contact before and during the event, updating any and all changes in a timely manner. I highly recommend Cloud 9 for any event.

2024-11-05T18:07:00.675Z

Olivia and co are simply the best. You won’t find a more dedicated staff to making your special day come true. 10/10, would recommend!

2024-11-02T00:00:00.000Z

Olivia and her team delivered a wedding that was better than anything my husband and I could have imagined, especially at our budget. She immediately understood our vibe and our vision, she connected us with the most wonderful vendors, and she was conscientious of our budget the whole way through. She got us excited about details I either never thought I’d care about or didn’t believe would align with my taste, but she proved me wrong and perfectly translated our style into the wedding of our dreams. Olivia displayed excellent judgement throughout the whole process, but especially the day of the ceremony. My husband and I were blissfully free to enjoy the day without worrying about a single thing—Olivia and her team took care of all of it. Olivia, her team, and every vendor she recommended was an absolute joy to work with and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The final product exceeded all expectations and felt totally magical. When you spend months planning a single weekend, it seems impossible for that weekend to live up to the hype. And I was definitely skeptical about whether we could execute a wedding that felt like us, where I could be fully present and enjoy myself the whole time. But that's what Olivia delivered, and I'm so grateful to her.

I've worked with Cloud 9 for going on a decade now, first with Kimaya for my own wedding and now with Olivia for my work as a bridal makeup artist! Olivia is incredibly well organized and for a job like hers that can sometimes come with a ton of stress (happy stress of course!) sje keeps it cool and calm and everyone feels like they are in good hands. I always hear amazing things from my bridal clients about what a godsend she is! Thanks, Olivia, for always being there!

We're a creative studio specializing in wedding suites and day of design and have had the change of working with Cloud 9 on several weddings. We LOVE them! Weddings can be so stressful, and you really need someone who is keeping their eyes on all the details and making sure everything comes together on time and beautifully. That is Cloud 9. We've worked with Olivia and she has been organized, on board for making big dreams happen, and overall pleasant and fun to work with. We give them 1,000 yesses!

2024-10-28T00:00:00.000Z

I am a vendor that has worked with Cloud9 Events since its inception. Olivia and her team amaze me with their willingness to help, the level of their professionalism and ability to create the perfect atmosphere. Hiring Cloud9 for your event is the right choice.

2024-10-27T22:09:57.778Z

Olivia and the Cloud 9 team are ABSOLUTE magic! So lucky to have had them on our team for our wedding. Olivia managed to make a 4 day wedding palooza on an island feel like the smoothest experience of our lives. She's a goddess, the most competent person we've ever met, and we love her!

2024-10-27T00:00:00.000Z

Wow where to even begin? As two experience designers and event producers we had high expectations (and standards) for our wedding. But perhaps the only person we've met who has even high standards is Olivia and her team at Cloud 9. Olivia is a true goddess, the most competent person we've ever met, an absolute delight, and now a lifelong friend!

2024-10-25T00:00:00.000Z

I am a florist and worked with cloud 9 for a couple weddings in 2024. Cloud 9 is very professional and great people to work with! I was tipped on each wedding I worked with them which was an extra awesome perk potentially related to their business. I recommend them for sure!

2024-10-22T20:27:59.357Z

As the Events Manager at Saltwater Farm, I have the pleasure of working with Cloud9 several times throughout the year and cannot say enough about the high quality service Olivia and her team bring to each event. When Cloud9 is at the helm of an event, it runs seamlessly and is filled with personal and creative touches from each couple. You cannot go wrong booking this incredible team!

2024-10-06T00:00:00.000Z

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Annalies and the incredible team at Cloud 9 Events were integral to making our wedding day the best possible experience . From day one, they were responsive, organized, and genuinely excited about helping us create the perfect day. One of the standout aspects of working with Annalies was how quickly she and her team responded to any questions or concerns we had. No matter how big or small, they were always on top of things and kept everything moving smoothly. It’s clear that they are extremely experienced and dedicated to ensuring every detail is perfect. Annalies helped us find amazing on island vendors which was key since many of the people on the island don't advertise! The Cloud 9 team were on top of all the details needed for making ferry reservations and informing our guests about the ferry system. What stood out the most was when we hit a snag with our venue, Annalies and the team quickly went to bat for us. She handled a tricky situation with such grace and professionalism, ensuring that our concerns were heard and addressed. I can't tell you how much that meant to us—it took a huge weight off our shoulders knowing she had our back. I can't say enough about how wonderful it was working with Annalies and Cloud 9 Events. If you’re looking for a planner who is professional, supportive, and truly cares about making your wedding day everything you’ve dreamed of, look no further. They’re worth every penny and more! Thank you, Annalies, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

We worked with Olivia on partial planning for our August 2024 wedding at Saltwater Farm on San Juan Island. Olivia and her team were amazing! They were very communicative and helped immensely during the wedding planning process, but exceeded every expectation in person over our wedding weekend. The C9 team helped with emergency accommodations for vendors, coordinated back-end logistics (and back-up transportation plans) for vendors, organized and moved countless wedding-related furniture and swag, expedited last-minute printing requests, put together out-of this-world decorations (including a photo wall that brought me and my spouse to tears!), and were endlessly positive throughout our time together. We were so grateful to have their help planning our event and would certainly recommend working with them if you are considering getting married in the San Juan Islands (or beyond!).

2024-09-10T21:15:23.024Z

Truly incredible. We didn't know anything, and Olivia and Cloud 9 not only knew it all, but also know the right people, the prices, the backup options....it was amazing. My parents recently went to a wedding where they didn't have a cake knife, and all I could think was how that would never happen with Olivia, because she thought of everything.

I seriously can’t praise Olivia enough! She was responsive, kind, professional beyond belief, and made our wedding the smoothest event imaginable! Not only did she help handle miscommunications from our venue (which we’re still dealing with), but she somehow was able to get our photographers to the island after their ferry was canceled. She took so much stress off our shoulders and allowed my wife and I to simply enjoy our wedding without any stress. Her knowledge of the island is unmatched. Do yourself a favor and hire her!

2024-05-06T00:00:00.000Z

Choosing Cloud 9 was the best decision we made for our wedding! We were initially thinking we would just have a day-of coordinator but ultimately switched to a partial planning package. This was a life saver, as Olivia and Annalies were so helpful in making sure we had considered every little detail that ultimately made the day so special. I also can’t overemphasize how helpful it is to have people that live on the islands on your team. They are truly amazing!
