Meet The Founder

“Some people fall into event planning. I never had a choice.

I’m Olivia. For almost a decade, I've built, produced, and designed events across some of the most demanding stages in the industry — from the Met Gala to million-dollar weddings, large-scale concerts, and global trade shows. I've worked fashion weeks and Hamptons soirées, brand activations within real estate spaces across New York City, and attendee experiences for the most prestigious jewelry trade shows in the world. Every single one of them taught me something. Most of all: that the difference between a good event and an extraordinary one lives entirely in the details — and in the person holding them together.

My career has always sat at the intersection of two things: project management and design. The run-of-show and the floral arrangement. The vendor call sheet and the mood board. The timeline and the tablescape. I've spent years proving that you don't have to choose between being organized and being creative — the best events demand both, at the same time, without apology.

Weddings are where those two things become one.

I started West Cove Weddings because I lived the problem it solves.

When I planned my own wedding — as a Type-A event planner with a creative eye and strong opinions about every detail — I assumed it would be easy to find the right support. What I discovered instead was a market full of rigid packages, transactional relationships, and planners who charged by the phone call.

I knew exactly what I needed, and it didn't exist. So I built it.

West Cove Weddings is for the couple who doesn't fit the template. The bride who has already designed her own centerpieces but needs someone to take the run-of-show off her plate. The groom who wants every single detail handled from day one. The couple who just needs a little support the day-of. Whatever you need — I've built a model around that reality, not around what's easiest for me.

I'm based in Greenwich, CT, and I work across the New York metro, Long Island, Connecticut, and beyond. Every wedding I take on is treated like a flagship — because for you, it is.

Let's build something extraordinary.

Who We Are

  • Olivia Lagun is the founder of West Cove Weddings, a luxury micro wedding planning company based in Greenwich, CT.

    With almost a decade of event experience spanning the Met Gala, million-dollar wedding productions, large-scale brand activations, and global trade shows, Olivia brings a rare combination of high-level project management and design sensibility to every event she touches.

    She has produced events across New York City, the Hamptons, and beyond — and built West Cove Weddings to solve the problem she lived firsthand while planning her own wedding: a market full of rigid packages and none of the flexibility that real couples actually need.

    West Cove Weddings specializes in intimate weddings under 75 guests, designed and executed with the same standard as a full-scale luxury event.

  • The U.S. wedding industry generates over $70 billion annually. Within that market, a fast-growing segment of couples wants a small, intimate, beautifully executed celebration — not a 200-person ballroom affair — and is willing to pay premium prices for expert, high-touch planning. This niche is chronically underserved: large firms treat micro weddings as low-priority, while budget coordinators lack the design vision or vendor access to deliver true luxury.

    There is a second, equally important gap in the market: the rigidity of standard planning packages. Most planners offer three fixed tiers — day-of, three-months-out, full-service — with no ability to flex. Couples who fall between categories are forced to overpay for services they don't need, or go without services they do. This business was built specifically to solve that problem.

    Our Differentiators

    • Intentionally small — every wedding is treated as a flagship event, not one of dozens

    • Design-forward — each wedding has a distinct visual identity built around the couple, never a template

    • White-glove service — one dedicated planner managing every detail, start to finish

    • Elevated client experience — from first inquiry through final send-off, every touchpoint reflects exceptional taste

    • Curated vendor network — exclusive relationships with top-tier photographers, florists, venues, and caterers

    • Truly custom packages — couples build their own scope from a transparent, pre-set menu; no rigid tiers, no wasted spend, no mid-planning surprises

    Every couple arrives with a different set of needs, skills, and bandwidth. A Type-A event planner bride may want to design every detail herself and simply needs an expert to execute flawlessly on the day. A surgeon bride may want everything handled from the moment she says yes. An interior designer may have strong aesthetic instincts but no knowledge of a run-of-show. A couple planning a destination elopement in Sedona needs entirely different support than one planning in their own backyard.

    Standard planning packages punish couples for knowing what they need — and reward them for buying things they don't. This model is built to work the other way around.

    Each couple selects a tier — The Foundation, The Framework, or The Estate — which establishes the base scope and price floor. They then choose from a transparent add-on menu at the time of booking. The package is confirmed and locked at signing. This protects the couple's planning timeline, ensures complete focus on what has been committed to together, and eliminates the awkward mid-planning negotiation that erodes trust on both sides.

    Your package is customized together and confirmed at signing. Once your deposit is received, your scope is set — this ensures our complete attention stays focused on delivering exactly what we've planned for your day.
