April B. Married on 10/16/2021Best Wedding Venue Ever!
I could not be more pleased with my experience at Sequoia! Our guests stated it was the best wedding they had ever been to! The food is outstanding and the service matches it. Working with the coordinator, Tatum was an absolute pleasure. She is incredibly responsive and accommodating. She made outstanding recommendations for the band and other vendors. She even asked my coordinator how my mother was doing the day of because she noticed she was stressed out and wanted to offer her assistance! The value for the quality is unmatched. With many options for the food and open bar service you can't go wrong. The servers passed our signature cocktails to guests as they waited in line during cocktail hour so no one ever was left wanting anything all night. They are absolute professionals and go above and beyond from the moment you reach out to the end of your event. The venue itself is beautiful inside and out offering several locations for the ceremony and cocktail hour you can have everything all in one place! It truly was a magical night and I am so grateful to the Sequoia team for making our wedding so special! -

We hosted a rehearsal dinner, followed by desserts and drinks for additional guests, at the Sequoia restaurant. What a pleasure it was to work with Lila Dougly, Catering Sales Manager. Lila made the process easy and enjoyable! What could have been difficult was not! Lila made sure to assist in numerous ways, and went above and beyond to make our event memorable and perfect. From the beauty of the venue, to the drinks, food, service….our experience was over the top!
