Your wedding should be something you look forward to, not another full-time job.
At Pink Olive Events, we help couples throughout Connecticut plan meaningful, beautifully organized weddings without the overwhelm. From full-service wedding planning to professional wedding day management, our experienced team handles the logistics, coordinates the details, and brings your vision together so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.
With nearly two decades of wedding industry experience, we combine thoughtful planning, trusted vendor relationships, and a personalized approach to create celebrations that feel effortless, intentional, and uniquely yours.
Whether you need guidance from the very beginning or an experienced team to bring your plans across the finish line, we’ll help you enjoy the journey as much as the wedding day itself.
Think of this like curating a wedding experience that truly feels like you. Whether you want full support, just a little guidance, or something in between, we create a planning experience that feels effortless, reflects your style, and leaves you excited and confident for your big day.
Planning your wedding shouldn’t feel like a second job.
We’ve built a process that’s actually fun—one that builds excitement as the months go on and leads to a wedding day that feels effortless, intentional, and very you.
Every couple’s details look different, but the experience stays the same: easy communication, real trust, and a planning journey that feels more like teamwork than stress.
In 2007, Carisa Lockery (then Carisa Ruocco) started CR Socials where she helped couples across Connecticut and the Northeast enjoy the wedding day they spent so much time and energy planning. Carisa’s mission, then and now, is to give couples the opportunity to feel like pampered guests at their own wedding. When the details are handled well, a couple can truly appreciate the special moments of this unforgettable occasion.
Now known as Pink Olive Events, Carisa and her team work every day to reduce the stress of wedding planning for the busy, sophisticated couple who doesn’t want to look back at photo albums with only blurry memories of a fun night.
