Great Venue
Sepia was a great fit for a wedding of our size (40 guests): intimate venue, great location, and exquisite food. The team was very professional in handling all of our requests and answering our questions. There were some hiccups here and there with the communication during planning (e.g. wrong time zone scheduled for a call, miscount on the number of children's meal), but nothing too warrant a less than 5 star review. The team did a great job making sure everything is correct before the event. We had a few children in our wedding and it was not an issue - the children loved the children's menu (buttermilk chicken fingers)! One note on bringing infants: there won't be a changing station in the restrooms. On the day of, the team was very professional and made sure everyone's needs were accommodated. They also customized the menu for any dietary restrictions. My husband's lactose intolerant but had mentioned he can "tolerate" a small amount of dairy. The event captain intentionally asked him if he would like to have the dessert that contains a small amount of dairy instead of the non-dairy dessert, which goes better with the flow of the courses and the wine pairing. He immediately said yes - that was really considerate of the event captain to ask. That shows how much the team went above and beyond for each individual! Thank you so much for making our day amazing!
Unique intimate wedding reception
Private Dining by Sepia was easy to work with and I was so thankful that I chose them to host my small wedding reception. Kali and Stephanie were both wonderful and I really appreciated all their help. Many of my guests commented on the beauty of the venue and that it was the best meal they’ve ever had.
Perfect for our wedding reception
We could not imagine a more ideal venue to have hosted our intimate wedding reception. The PD by Sepia team was hospitable and communicative from start to finish. Every interaction during planning made us feel like this was a well-oiled machine, and even with these high expectations, we were blown away on our wedding day. We can’t recommend Sepia enough if you want a stress-free, attentive, delicious experience.
The perfect venue for our microwedding
We could not have been happier with Private Dining by Sepia in any way! They were easy to work with, the space was absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious. We wanted a space that was small but dramatic and this was perfect. Kali was our coordinator, she was quick to respond and professional in the planning process. The staff working during our wedding were kind, attentive, and provided excellent service. Get the duck, it was delicious!
