Here at The Magnolia, we categorize our vendors into two groups: exclusive and preferred. For exclusive services that demand a deep familiarity with our venue, such as Planners, Catering, Bartending, Shuttle Service, and DJs, we ask that couples select from our list of pre-approved vendors provided below. If you have a specific vendor in mind outside of these exclusive categories, a pre-approval process is required and is subject to an outside vendor fee. However, outside Bartending is not permitted. Your seamless wedding experience is our top priority, and we're here to ensure everything runs smoothly every step of the way!
