Wedding 10/18/24

We got married at Avenir in October and it was an absolute dream of a day. From start to finish, our event producer Sydney Davis was incredible to work with. Communication was easy, planning was a breeze and everything was executed flawlessly. Our guests are still raving about the food (as are we) along with the timeline of the day. There wasn’t a skipped beat. If you are considering Saphire Event group, you won’t regret it!

Great experience all around!

We had our wedding at Avenir back in September of 2024. We had a terrific experience across all domains. We primarily worked with Sydney who was above and beyond attentive, kind, and accommodating. Could not recommend working with her enough! We got lots of compliments on the venue, service, and great food!

Dream Wedding!

I’m so thankful for the staff at Avenir for helping execute my dream wedding, especially my event producer Sydney Davis. I didn’t have a wedding planner and she helped keep everything organized from beginning to end. The staff was super attentive to our needs to ensure that our day was special! I fell in love with the venue from the very first day I visited, it’s the perfect blank canvas to go with any decor and worked perfectly for my minimalist old Hollywood theme. We had an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful garden on site which was a highlight on our big day. If we had another opportunity to marry we’d choose Avenir in a heartbeat!
