The Olive & Eden Team

A MARRIAGE-FIRST STUDIO

OurStory

AUSTIN, Texas

Eden held the first wedding, under trees the couple never planted, provided for before they arrived. The olive is the branch of peace, from a tree that bears fruit for generations. Together they are our quiet promise: we serve the marriage before we serve the wedding.

The wedding is one day. The marriage is the promise you keep every day after it. So when a decision divides you, we will be the first to say: take it home, talk it over, decide it together. No timeline of ours matters more than the two of you staying on the same team.

Named for the garden where love began.

Your wedding, and every day after it

THE HEART BEHIND OLIVE & EDEN

Lauren grew up in Katy, Texas, and pitched Division I softball, so she is used to commanding the field, and now the room. A proud Aggie, she spent her early career in communications and ministry, then years working weddings for other people, coming home after twelve hours on her feet, having forgotten to eat, and somehow more alive than when she left.

Mike noticed first. With his encouragement, and by God's grace, Olive & Eden began, and today Lauren leads the planning and design of every wedding.

FOUNDER & LEAD PLANNER OF OLIVE & EDEN

Lauren

MEET

Cami grew up in Cedar Park and teaches fifth grade during the week. On wedding days she bustles the gown, makes sure you have had water, and picks up everything Lauren sets down while Lauren holds everything else together.

She arrives prepared for nearly anything, usually with two of it. On a free weekend, you will find her at the beach.

MEET

Mike is the reason Olive & Eden exists. He saw how much Lauren loved this work and pushed her to build a studio of her own. A software engineer and investor, he is always hunting for a better way to run things.

He builds the systems behind the studio so every couple has our full attention, and as a New Yorker at heart, he works like the city that never sleeps. On wedding days you may find him running logistics, lending an extra set of hands, or standing in as a groom's attendant.

Inquire for Availability

We take a limited number of weddings each year, because the way we work means truly knowing you, and knowing people takes time we refuse to shortcut. The relationship is not a nicety around the work. It is the method.

TRULY KNOWN

We ask different questions. What is your favorite room at home? What does Saturday morning look like for the two of you? Which place on earth is yours? The design comes from the answers, and your people leave knowing you better than when they arrived.

DEEPLY PERSONAL

We do what we say, and we protect what you chose. Honest numbers from the start, every decision in writing, and nothing changes without your yes, so the wedding that arrives is the one you designed with us.

HONEST, ALWAYS

Delighted, celebrated, and honored is our standard for everyone in the room: the two of you, your families, your guests, and the creative team beside us. Families are looked after without asking, and our vendors leave glad that they're on your team.

GENEROUS CARE

You should get to live your wedding, not manage it. We carry the timeline, the vendors, and the small emergencies, so you and your families are free to be fully present. Most of what we fix, you never hear about.

FULLY PRESENT

Talk about your business values right here and what they can expect when working with you from the initial consultation to the actual day. Let's go up in here, and start having some fun You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage.
