About YOUR WEDDING PLANNERS
OUR STORY
At O&O Events, we believe that the most extraordinary weddings are those that tell a story—one woven with intention, heritage, and timeless elegance. Our name, Olea & Opal, is a reflection of this philosophy. The olive tree (Olea) symbolises peace, longevity, and deep-rooted connections, while the opal is known for its rarity, beauty, and transformative energy. Together, they embody the essence of what we bring to every wedding—harmony, authenticity, and an effortless sense of luxury.
With a deep understanding of cultures and traditions, we specialise in curating bespoke Indian weddings across the UK and breathtaking destination celebrations worldwide. Whether an opulent palace affair, a sun-drenched beach ceremony, or an intimate countryside gathering, we craft each event with precision, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
More than planners, we are storytellers—dedicated to translating your vision into an experience that feels both personal and spectacular. We believe in transparency, trust, and a seamless journey from concept to execution, ensuring that every moment of your celebration is as effortless as it is extraordinary.
Welcome to O&O Events, where your story takes centre stage in the most unforgettable way.
OUR FOUNDER & Wedding expert
With over 15 years of experience in the event industry, Lauren has seen it all—from catering and hotel management to working with venues and event agencies. This extensive background gave her a unique, well-rounded perspective on the inner workings of the industry. However, after years of learning and honing her skills, Lauren felt the time was right to bring everything full circle by creating her own event agency —one that would revolutionise the way brides and grooms experience the planning of their big day.
Her vision for O&O Events was simple yet powerful: to make the planning process a true reflection of each couple’s unique personality, values, and love story. Lauren is passionate about bringing those elements to life through bespoke designs and aesthetics that feel personal, meaningful, and memorable. She believes that your wedding day should be an authentic reflection of who you are, and she works closely with every couple to ensure their vision is brought to life in a way that’s as unique as they are.
Background and experience
Since 2011, Lauren has specialised in Asian wedding planning, becoming an expert in curating experiences across multiple faiths and traditions. Her expertise spans all aspects of the celebration, from Sangeets and pre-wedding parties that are fun and authentic, to traditional and sacred ceremonies, and unforgettable reception parties that leave lasting memories. Lauren ensures each element of the celebration is meaningful, true to tradition, and perfectly executed.
A Personal Touch: Laurens' Birthstone
The opal is also a deeply personal symbol for our founder and director, Lauren, whose birthstone it is. For Lauren, the opal represents her own philosophy of life and design: vibrant, dynamic, and always in search of the perfect light. This connection to the opal imbues O&O Events with a personal touch—one that ensures every event is treated with the care, attention, and love it deserves.
