Best venue in the Greater Sacramento (CA) Area

Our wedding was 10/9/21, which was the THIRD wedding date (thanks COVID!). The previous dates were 11/7/20 and 3/6/21. We had been working with the Kimpton Sawyer event coordinators since the summer of 2019. During those two years, they were nothing but gracious, flexible, and empathic.

The months leading up to our event were extremely stressful for us because of a COVID-19 surge and we came close to cancelling our wedding. In the end we were thankful that 99% of our guests and vendors were vaccinated and the remaining few provided negative COVID-19 tests the week of the event.

My husband and I cannot fully express how magical our wedding was and how easy Harmony Y. and the Kimpton Sawyer staff made it for us, our wedding party, guests, and vendors. We are grateful for the staff every step of the way, from the menu tasting chef, accounting folks, catering/room service staff, bartenders, front desk, etc. as everyone was professional and friendly. Our other vendors said great things about the Kimpton Sawyer staff as well.

We've been married for about three months now and our guests STILL rave about how the passed appetizers and reception dinner were insanely delicious. We highly recommend booking a hotel block! Guests that stayed at the Kimpton Sawyer with us loved their accommodations.

Best of luck venue hunting and cheers to you when your special day finally arrives.

Stunning fall wedding at the Sawyer

My wedding was amazing at the Sawyer Hotel. Harmony was responsive along the way and was flexible when we wanted to change a few things with our menu. The guests even made note of how great the bartenders and service staff were. Our guests had an amazing time!!

Hosting my wedding at the Sawyer was one of the best planning decisions!

Before choosing the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, the venue for my wedding was one of the decisions I stressed out most about. I knew the location and look of my venue would really dictate how the day went, as well as how the rest of my budget would be impacted. Luckily, after many, many venue searches throughout Northern California, I found the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel. I was already familiar with Kimpton hotels after staying at a few for other trips, so I knew that I liked their aesthetic, in addition to how comfortable their rooms were. Thus, I was really impressed with how accommodating and flexible their wedding package was (perhaps because I booked during the height of the pandemic). The lobby, ballroom, and terrace made for a great ceremony, cocktail, and reception location. Finally, being located right in the heart of downtown Sacramento meant that lodging and transportation options were abundant for our guests, who came from all over the world.

I would highly recommend anyone getting married look into reserving the Kimpton for their wedding! One of the best decisions I made.
