2024 Wedding Reception - 5 Stars all around

My now husband and I had our wedding reception at SqWires in May of 2024 following our ceremony at Lafayette Square Park! We truly cannot say enough good things about Stephanie, Hanna and the whole SqWires team. From the beginning of the process when we first toured SqWires, everything went extremely smooth with the help of Stephanie and Hanna. The coordination, suggestions, food, helpful tips, proposal planning and vendor correspondence were all 10/10! If you’re considering having your event, reception or wedding here, I can’t recommend it enough!

Highly Recommend!

We had an amazing experience with SqWires. We had our wedding reception in the Annex and they also assisted with our ceremony in Lafayette Park. The attention to detail, experience in the industry and overall professionalism was outstanding and made the entire process a breeze. 45 minutes before my wedding at the bridge in the park, the area had 200+ people taking homecoming photos. Stephanie took charge and cleared the area in plenty of time for my ceremony - so impressive! My guests raved about how good the food was and how they went back for seconds. I would suggest this venue to any of my friends or family.

Best rehearsal dinner!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at SqWires and couldn't be happier with our decision! Jill and the whole team were so responsive, organized, kind and accommodating. The atmosphere is wonderful and the food and drinks were SO delicious. We got tons of compliments and can't say enough how great the experience was the night before our wedding!

Sqwire's exceeded our expectations!

The wedding coordinator at Sqwire's went above and beyond for us. She always made time for us and was easily accessible. I gave her pictures from Pinterest and she made it happen. Our wedding was perfect. The entire staff was wonderful. We're so grateful for Sqwire's making our wedding beautiful.

best decision you'll make

SqWires is phenomenal. My husband and I still comment on how they were easily one of the best vendors to work with. We held our rehearsal dinner and a welcome event for all our guests the day before our wedding. Meredith and Bethany made us feel stressfree the whole way through. As we encountered hiccups, SqWires was always accommodating and focused on removing stress. Meredith was so detail oriented and helped us make decisions that stayed true to our vision and budget.

SqWires’ service, food, and drinks were fantastic without breaking the bank. Choosing SqWires was one of our best choices!

The best of the best.

SqWires was one of our first big decisions when planning the wedding. It was also one of the best decisions we made. Ashley our coordinator was genuine, thoughtful and down to earth. She became someone we could bounce ideas off of and help create our vision and keep our feet on the ground. Every time we went to SqWires for a meeting we left feeling relieved and excited for our upcoming event. We ended up calling our rain plan and using SqWires front room for the ceremony. Which I was so glad for. They room has giant windows for natural lighting and a soft rustic feel. It made for a very beautiful and intimate ceremony. Our reception was held in the SqWires Annex. Ashley and her staff worked together with my friend/wedding coordinator to make a magical environment for the reception. The Annex is already a stunning room with out much need for decoration but with our minimalist touches they really made the place expressive. Our guests were comfortable, well fed, and had an amazing party. The staff was kind and on top of things, and there were never long lines at the bars. I was more than impressed by the whole evening. Ashley and her staff at SqWires are the best of the best and I would recommend for any event you are planning.

We hosted our Wedding Ceremony and Reception at SqWires Annex and couldn't be happier with the result. From inital inquiry until the end of the evening Ashley was kind, professional, and responsive. During the ceremony reheasal she ensured we covered every single detail. On the day of, she was by my side to help with cues for ceremony, transitioning rooms for a cocktail hour, as well as flipping the Annex from a Ceremony to Reception setup. All of our guests were extremely happy with the catering and loved the look of the room. I would recommend it for any event!

SqWires was the perfect venue for us. We held both our ceremony and reception there and everything went really smoothly. We had about 90 adults and 15 kids at our wedding, which felt like a perfect number. The loft space was a great option for people wanting to have a quieter conversation or who weren't interested in dancing. Ashley and her crew were very accommodating, and made planning from out of town very easy. Our guests gave rave reviews about the food (especially the tater tot bar!). We used an outside vendor for our dessert, and they made it look amazing at no extra cost.

We recently had an intimate wedding rehearsal dinner in the Front Room of Sqwires, followed by a larger Cocktail Reception in The Annex. All my detailed requests were met beyond expectation. The food was delicious, served hot and per our prearranged time schedule. The atmosphere was very unique, comfortable and inviting. Our Catering Assistant Alix H. and owner Bethany B. were wonderful to work with! Karen was in charge of our party for both events that evening, and was also extremely attentive and accommodating. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue and highly recommend Sqwires for a truly memorable event!

SqWires was a fantastic venue for my June 2016 ceremony and reception. The owner, Bethany, was phenomenal to work with and made planning stress free. While the Annex was being "flipped" from the ceremony to the reception, we had a cocktail hour in the Front Room. Anything I asked Bethany about in regards to the ceremony was provided (table numbers, candles, signage, etc. Bethany held several consultations with us including a food tasting and 2 rehearsals. She was extremely organized and I didn't have to worry about any planning on my wedding day. Please book your event at SqWires, you won't be disappointed.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Landolfi Quartet played a wedding reception at Sqwires which was really a wonderful venue! It is spacious with a warm feeling. The buffet was exceptional. The area where the quartet played was comfortable and we could be heard and seen. Not that we have egos but when clients hire a string quartet that is usually important to them. We highly recommend this venue for weddings that want a warm, friendly feel with great food.
