As Perfect As A Wedding Could Get
The Sanctuary by Wedgewood Weddings was an exceptional choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was prompt, accessible, and thorough, making the planning process seamless. The venue location is truly timeless and romantic. The quality of their team shows throughout the entirety of the event. They made it so easy for me to customize my wedding, perfectly matching my Type A tendencies, and ensuring we felt incredibly special throughout the entire experience. The Sanctuary team is amazing, and I do not regret any second of the planning because they made sure to match my vision and passion for this big day!
Most Helpful Venue
My husband and I love our wedding venue, The Sanctuary. We were lost when we first started wedding planning because we had no direction. After attending an open house at The Sanctuary, we met Mason who helped us build a package for our big day. We picked out every detail and made our vision come to life. They also connected us to their vendors who were a pleasure to work with. Lastly, the venue itself is beautiful. The cathedral and courtyard were perfect for our photos. The dining hall was just as beautiful and charming. Our guests kept complimenting how elegant everything was. I highly recommend booking this venue.
Would recommend Wedgewood over and over again
Wedgewood Weddings has been around for generations, and for good reason. When I began planning for our wedding, I was overwhelmed with choices – choices I didn't even know I needed to concern myself with. Because of this, I knew from the get go that I would need an all-inclusive venue, but I didn't expect to find one with the flexibility, collaboration, and intention that Wedgewood provides for their couples. I would recommend this company over and over again, and I can only sing the highest of praises for The Sanctuary in Long Beach as a venue and for the staff that works there. Thank you, truly, for the effort you put into coordinating an organized, beautiful wedding. We appreciate the attentiveness, were impressed by the execution, and grateful for the overall warmth and kindness of your staff to us and our loved ones. I received SO many compliments about the whole day and how seamless everything was. I couldn't have done it without any of you! If we had the budget to have a second and third wedding, I'd do it all over again and I'd do it with Wedgewood. (Which, I hope speaks volumes to the quality of their service because I know many brides that definitely would not go through the wedding planning process ever again.) I also wanted to extend a special thank you to our coordinator, Mason: Thank you for doing all you could to ensure an enjoyable experience. Not a single detail we discussed over all the months of planning was missed. You truly helped orchestrate the successful execution of my vision for the wedding, and I'm really glad you were there.
