Meet Morgan Olson | Wedding Coordinator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Morgan Olson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Morgan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Pursuing my passion for wedding coordination first started with wanting to apply my organization skills, love for planning, and building friendships with new people. This passion was the driving force behind my decision to start a wedding coordinating business. Since I was 13 years old, I knew I wanted to be some sort of event planner, but it wasn’t until I witnessed a friend coordinate a wedding that I felt it was something I could do. Shortly after, a family member contacted me and asked if I could help plan her wedding/coordinate. I quickly jumped on that, which kicked off Morgan Olson Coordination! Once I started studying the industry, I felt like there was a gap I wanted to fill. My first thought was looking back at my wedding ten years ago and not remembering my wedding coordinator’s impact on me, which saddened me. I wanted to be a wedding coordinator who impacted the couple on the day of their wedding and prior to that. I want my couples to feel like they are given 100% from me. Weddings are significant milestones in people’s lives, and being a wedding coordinator allows me to contribute to the happiness and joy of a couple and their families. Seeing the happiness and gratitude on their faces as their vision comes to life can be incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I will forever be grateful for couples choosing me as their coordinator.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I love to help couples navigate the final stages of wedding planning and ensure that their big day runs smoothly. I work alongside the couples for weeks and months leading up to their wedding to finalize the details, create a detailed timeline, and ensure that vendors are all on the same page. On the day of the wedding, I will be there to oversee the set-up and execution of the event, troubleshoot any last-minute issues, and ensure that everything stays on schedule. I guarantee they can relax and enjoy their wedding day, knowing that a professional is taking care of everything behind the scenes. It’s my goal to make sure that their vision on their wedding day is realized and that they can look back on this special day with joy and happy memories! Getting to where I am today has been challenging yet easy in ways. We live in a world today that makes marketing yourself simple. Now, have I had challenges and comparison fear? 100%, who hasn’t? But, I quickly have to remind myself that I am unique and only one of me exists. There is a reason why couples are drawn to me, and I pray that my presence can bring them peace during the planning process and on the day of their wedding. One thing I want the world to know about my business is that I am here for YOU when choosing me to be your coordinator. I want to be another friend you can call, text, and hang out with, and you feel your wedding is one of my biggest priorities!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend were visiting the DFW area, we would have the BEST time. As we know, I am all about planning, and having a detailed list is my jam! My perfect day in the DFW area is brunch, hanging out at the pool, grabbing a coffee, shopping, going out to dinner, and going to a fun place for drinks later in the evening! Some of my go-to restaurants are The Henry (Have you had their pretzel bites? If you haven’t, don’t walk, run!), Saint Ann Restaurant and Bar, Sixty Vines, and anywhere in Legacy West! But honestly, the list could go. Some really fun hotels to stay at are the Statler (super fun rooftop pools), Omni Dallas, Hotel Swexan, The Adolphus, and if you want to go a little farther north, The Westin Stonebriar! Somewhere I love to go is the Bishop Arts District! At night the atmosphere is so much fun! It has live music, cute shops, and great drinks to cap off your night!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people that I want to dedicate this to! The first one is my family. They believe in my skills and talents, giving me confidence and motivation! Starting a business can be challenging, so having a supportive family who understands and encourages me makes a significant difference. They have been there to listen to my ideas and provide support through all the stages of this journey! Second, I want to thank the wedding industry on social media! When I first jumped into this, I knew that building relationships were vital, but little did I know I would make some great friends. The support, shoutouts, sharing of content, recommendations, and business opportunities have meant the world to me! But most of all, I want to thank every couple who has entrusted me with their big day. They deserve the biggest shoutout because I wouldn’t be where I am today without them!
