    From the moment we stepped into the Sanctuary, we immediately fell in love with how stunning the place was and knew that this is where we wanted to host our wedding. Nancy & Shelly really took the time and cared about every little detail that we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. The day of, Shelly and her team were OUTSTANDING, making sure that we were taken care of, on schedule, helped make the room look beautiful and that no detail went astray. Throughout the entirety of the night, we had guests coming up and complimenting how beautiful the space itself was. The transition from the ceremony to the reception, with the subtle "room flip" was so seamless and quick that we didn't even realize that it happened - which was one of the small concerns we had. This is such an amazing backdrop for a wedding or any event with such a qualified and amazing team of dedicated professionals who provide exceptional service. We are so grateful for them all & highly recommend Sanctuary Events for your special day. Thanks team! Love, Craig & Bre

    Working with Nancy and Shelly was great. They responded quickly to emails and always had the answer. The venue has an industrial chic vibe which I was going for. They decorated the reception space for me the day of the wedding which took the stress away. When I saw the reception space it was perfect!
