I got married at SAGE in July of 24’ and it was amazing, Glenn and his wife are the owners and they help you with everything directly. It 100% was worth every penny, but with the amount that’s included in their venue I can’t believe we didn’t spend 15k or more like all the other venues wanted. I had the perfect day as a bride and our guests were impressed! The food was amazing and made by the owners as well. I can’t recommend them enough!
