Unforgettable!

Our wedding at The Sepulveda Home was truly a dream come true! From the moment we arrived, we knew this was the perfect venue for our special day. The property is stunning, with beautiful gardens, elegant indoor spaces, and a charming atmosphere that created the perfect backdrop for our celebration.

What made the day even more extraordinary was the exceptional service, especially from Sara. She was incredible throughout the entire planning process and the wedding day itself. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and warm demeanor made everything run smoothly. Sara ensured that every aspect of our wedding, from the ceremony to the reception, went off without a hitch. She made us feel completely at ease and truly cared about making our day perfect.

If you're looking for a beautiful and memorable venue, The Sepulveda Home is everything you could dream of and more. Thank you to Sara and the entire team for making our wedding day so magical!

Love love love

Highly highly recommend!! My husband and I got married at the Sepulveda Home last September. It was absolutely perfect for us!!

Venue/Aesthetic: Most photos I've seen online do not give the place justice. We weren't completely sure what we'd think until we saw it in person. The venue is absolutely GORGEOUS. We fell in love with the drooping trees, lush greens, and vintage house. The bridal suite and groom suite are so aesthetic for pictures. The outside is incredibly magical at night with all of the candles and chandeliers lit up. (If you visit the venue please go at sunset so you can see it during the day and at night) The vibe is very much like the Blue Bayou restaurant in Disneyland. (Perfect for our subtle Pirates of the Caribbean theme). We had probably about 80 people all together. I think that was the perfect amount for this venue as it might feel a bit too crowded if you have over 100. Also, highly recommend the live jazz band and DJ. It added so much to the ambiance and mood.

Experience: Sara was super sweet, friendly, hands on and helpful from the very beginning. I never felt like I needed to worry about contacting her. She made sure to answer all of my questions throughout the process and make us feel very comfortable and taken care of. It felt like a very personal experience getting to plan everything with her. She handled all of the details and day of coordinating wonderfully.

Food: It's Lucille's. The food was amazing. We got lots of compliments and our guests were very happy. No complaints here.

Also, we booked the cocktail style reception which fit better with our budget and guests. It was so fun. Guests were much more free to mingle and move around. If you have a mostly young adult crowd, I would definitely recommend considering it.

Overall, we absolutely loved our wedding and experience at this venue. 5 stars all around for us!!

The staff were excellent and were more like family the first time we met.

e came from Georgia for our daughter's wedding and they treated us more like family than clients. It was a wonderful venue with amazing attention to details. The staff even packed up items we had brought for decorations, wedding cake, and leftover bar items. They had wonderful relations with caterers, DJ, and attendees. They will make your wedding a memorable event

Sepulveda Home – Priscilla and Christian's Beautiful Wedding!

I just wanted to leave a quick note to thank you all for everything you did to make our day magical. Getting married is such a stressful time, but your team made it flow with ease. Every single, minute detail was executed to perfection. I felt like I was working with FAMILY and not just a company to make our day so special.

The setting, the aesthetic, at every turn, we were were thoroughly impressed. It was so elegant and all my family and friends exclaimed how wonderfully beautiful it all was. Your venue and attention to detail took a burden off my shoulders and I got to actually enjoy my wedding! A million thanks for everything!!!

Love,
Priscilla and Christian

Amazing Wedding Venue!

Having our wedding at The Sepulveda Home was an amazing experience. The venue is so unique and beautiful that we knew from the moment that we saw it that it was perfect! Sara and Juliet were extremely helpful and responsive at all hours to our many questions. They have an amazing eye for detail from the flowers to the table decorations and everything else! They really helped us with the whole planning
process and we honestly could not have done it without them! Our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how our wedding was one of the nicest weddings they’ve ever been to! We really cannot say enough nice things about The Sepulveda Home and all of the staff. We highly recommend this beautiful venue and are so happy we got to have our wedding here!

Amazing venue and team

We are so glad we chose the Sepulveda Home for our wedding! It is a beautiful, unique venue and is actually quite affordable for LA. Sara and Juliet were great to work with, and it was nice to have a package deal where a lot of decisions like catering and music were already made so we didn't have to worry about that. At the same time we were still able to put in our own touches.

Happy Bride!!

Sara and the whole staff at The Sepulveda Home are fantastic people and can throw a very cool party!! The food was the best wedding food I’ve ever had (and my guests said the same thing)! The day of the wedding was a breeze because Sara and staff are well organized and work really hard for you! A quaint, unique, and clean venue that will be sure to impress your guests....I have been told a lot that our wedding was the coolest wedding people have ever attended! Once you see the home you will look no further! I will always look back at my wedding feeling proud and so happy.

My husband and I fell in love with this venue the moment we walked past the driveway. It was the perfect balance of feeling intimate (think: a family member's beautiful backyard) while being spacious and artfully decorated (mystical greenery, easy movement flow from ceremony to reception to bar). You can tell that much love and thought went into designing this stunning venue.

We worked with Sara from beginning to end, and she was so caring, knowledgeable, attentive to details, and easy to trust!

Moreover, after seeing many corporate venues who charged extra fees for every little detail, it was such a breath of fresh air to have Sara proactively provide a quote that was inclusive of everything (taxes, fees, etc.) Though seemingly a minor detail, it left quite an impression on me and my husband and indicated to us the values that reflect how Sara and her family approach their clients. We greatly appreciated this!

What an honor to have spent our wedding day at the Sepulveda Home. Sara, thank you, your mom, and your family for everything!

I could not be more willing to write this review for the Sepulveda Home! First of all, we had our wedding reception at the beautiful home last November and it was also a destination wedding for us so I was obviously anxious at first about the planning since I was doing everything site unseen. Our special day was also planned in a matter of 4 months (5 month engagement) so there was that on top of it, too. However, Sara completely put me at ease and thought of EVERYTHING/had so many awesome ideas!! She is amazing!! Our reception turned out absolutely perfect and became everything we dreamed of and more. So many of our friends said it was hands down the best event they have been to and the coolest location (and I agree) :). Also, we decided to book the jazz band through the home and they killed it. Having the jazz band totally completed the ambience and I would highly recommend booking them! They played our requested first dance song "At Last" and it turned out to be so special and beautiful. We also were very happy with the pricing and the catering. As no surprise, so many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have had and the food also surpassed my hubby's and I's expectations. This bride here had a heaping plate! Overall, everyone was so relaxed since it felt like your family's backyard and since the staff were so welcoming and special. The communication throughout the process was smooth and you'll find Sara taking care of your guests and the bride and groom from start to end. She was even taking polaroids with our camera of our guests throughout the night and giving them home tours and making sure our drinks were replenished ;). You will not regret booking with the Sepulveda Home.

Sara was sooo amazing!!! My wedding was super small and she still came through and went above and beyond my expectations! She was willing to work with us when I had surprise guests attend my wedding the day of (my mom, brother and sister, all of which I thought were unable to attend) and the day turned out even more spectacular! The venue was so beautiful and the guitarist was perfect! thank you again for making this special day so memorable for my husband and I! I definitely recommend The Sepulveda Home!!
