Asher&Olive

Best of the Best!

If I could give Asher&Olive 10 stars, I would! We got married back in September 2023, and my husband and I were originally planning to get married on Orcas Island. We met with Gavin, whom we immediately vibed with, and then after much debate and a few other factors, we ended up moving our venue off-island. My parents told us there were so many other local vendors that we should consider going with because to them it seemed extreme to have an Orcas Island vendor travel all the way to us, but we were adamant that if they were willing to travel to our new venue, we wanted to keep them. Luckily they were! We ended up getting married in Poulsbo and were still able to keep our "forest formal" theme, even though we were no longer getting married in the woods. Gavin was great with all the details, and was in contact consistently about color schemes, décor plans, while keeping things simplistically chic, and of course food ideas (though we trusted the menu completely after tasting the first appetizer we tried - the roasted hibiscus flower with goat cheese! *chef's kiss*). The menu was full of locally sourced goods - from the salmon to the homemade bread, to the delicious salad and Beecher's mac and cheese. Truly, it was so nice to not have to pour so much thought and energy into the menu because we trusted that Gavin's team would pull it off, and they did it flawlessly. Because we changed the venue, I ended up doing most of the décor myself, but I was a DIY bride, but Asher&Olive brought our forest formal theme to life with their catering and details on the buffet table. Their staff were extremely friendly, the food was phenomenal, and guests were raving about it - we didn't even have any food leftover because people liked it so much they went back for seconds! My parents said towards the end of the evening that we were right to have fought to keep them as our caterers, because everything was delicious and perfect. We heard that praise again when we visited them over the holidays. I 1000% recommend working with Gavin and his crew!
