A Fairytale Experience!

Our wedding day at the Olana was absolutely magical! The venue was the most beautiful place I could have ever imagined getting married and each part of our day was amazing. We had so many guests brag to us about the food, venue, and overall experience. We worked with Catherine throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding, and she truly made our experience amazing! She walked through the planning process with us and made me feel so at ease through each step. She was available to answer questions whenever I had them and accommodated any request that I had, no matter how small or silly! On the day of our wedding, Catherine and the rest of the Olana team were there to make sure everything went perfectly and made it their mission to ensure everything was exactly as we envisioned it. Catherine was truly a game changer for our entire wedding experience and I am SO thankful for her! I recommend the Olana (and Catherine) to anyone looking for a fairytale wedding!

Dream Come True

Nick is MADE for this line of work; if wedding planning is a love language, it is Nick's native tongue. Touring the Olana with him went so well that, at the end of our tour, I refused to get up off the couch and leave until my fiance signed on the dotted line to seal the deal; because if Nick is this professional while remaining pleasant, he's certainly set the standard for the rest of the Olana staff and their services. In getting to know Nick, my fiance and I are comforted and reassured that the rest planning process is going to go smooth with our best interest in their heart. Thank you so much Nick and I cant wait to see you again already!.

The Perfect Night!

I was the MOH for my best friend’s wedding at the Olana! The wedding went flawlessly thanks to our planner Melanie Anderson. Any question or thought I had, Melanie was already 10 steps ahead of me. She handled the night with such ease, I couldn’t recommend a better planner!
