I had my wedding at The Olana March of 2021 and I could not have been more impressed. Wendy, the assistant GM, was amazing throughout my entire planning process & even past my wedding day. She accommodated all of my requests and then some. She responded quickly to me anytime I had a question and always helped me to the best of her ability. I also appreciated being able to visit the venue anytime I needed for planning purposes. Thank you for helping to make our day so awesome! The Olana is a dream & a one of a kind experience.

A Dream Come True at The Olana!
The Olana was great to work with. We booked the venue for its beauty and unbeatable amenities, but we were very pleased with the staff and their catering. Alex is who we toured with and were in correspondence with for the beginning of our booking and she was always very kind and professional. When COVID hit, I know there were a lot of upset brides trying to cancel and reschedule, however, we were fortunate not to face that situation. Our wedding was always scheduled for Friday, October 30, 2020 and we decided to keep our date the same throughout the uncertainty. Despite all odds, the day was perfect and the Olana made it seem like we were in a fairytale. The photos speak for themselves, but Melissa who was our in-house coordinator was there from start to finish helping us set up, bring us things throughout the day, and make sure we had everything packed up at the end of the night. Melissa was amazing and we are so thankful she was a part of getting us to our big day. For our food, we had steak and salmon and it was delicious, as well as the appetizers (I could have eaten a whole plate - they were delicious!!). Thank you to The Olana and Walters for making our wedding dreams come true!
