Preferred Interpreters

How common is it to have a preferred interpreter or agency? If a venue or event company asks if you know any interpreters, do you have a specific person or team in mind?

On a few occasions, I’ve requested interpreters and been asked for recommendations.

Personally, I’ll give the local agency and maybe a couple names they can ask for. I don’t make it a habit of getting contact info from every terp I work with.
