    We found Sepia Private Dining and it was the perfect venue for our small wedding (50 guests). The Sepia staff did almost everything to make my wedding everything I wanted. The mirror on the wall and the decor matched our vibe. We had one set-up for the ceremony, then the guests had appetizers (we left to take pictures) and they changed the set-up for dinner and then moved a couple of tables for dancing later. I did not have a wedding planner and they made everything easy, from planning the menu to the set-up it was a stress free day! I would strongly recommend Sepia Private Dining for all of your smaller events.

    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!

    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.
