Twenty-six names we'd hire for our daughters' weddings.
We do not take commission. Every name on this list has worked at least three weddings at Olivara. We make the list because couples ask, and because the alternative — a half-day of frantic Googling at midnight — does not serve anyone.
If you have a vendor not on this list you want to bring in, we are happy to discuss it. Most outside vendors work here fine; a few categories (catering especially) require coordination with our culinary partner.
