    Summer Wedding

    The space was exactly what we were looking for and the food there was amazing. Planning it with Sepia was very easy and stress free as they took care of the most important parts (venue, food, drinks). The space was big enough for an intimate ceremony and our guests (we had about 50). The guests loved the vibe and the staff was amazing to myself and all the guests. They made it exactly how I pictured it. Would highly recommend holding a micro-wedding here if you're looking for great food and warm and elegant setting.

    Perfect venue for an intimate wedding

    We had a 56 person elopement reception at Sepia. Josh was great every step of the way and quick to respond to any questions we had. The Sepia team the night of was phenomenal — everyone left full and couldn’t stop talking about how great the food was. Would highly recommend Sepia for a small wedding or event!

    Outstanding Experience

    Private Dining by Sepia was a phenomenal choice for our son's wedding venue. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was fast, helpful and friendly. The venue was truly beautiful, elegant and private - exactly what we were looking for. On the day of the wedding, the Sepia team provided great service with everything on point, and the food was absolutely delicious. I was able to fully relax and enjoy the evening because Sepia had everything taken care of. The evening was fabulous, and we couldn't have asked for more. We highly recommend Private Dining by Sepia for any couple looking for an exceptional wedding venue experience.

    Bride who had wedding at Sepia

    We found Sepia Private Dining and it was the perfect venue for our small wedding (50 guests). The Sepia staff did almost everything to make my wedding everything I wanted. The mirror on the wall and the decor matched our vibe. We had one set-up for the ceremony, then the guests had appetizers (we left to take pictures) and they changed the set-up for dinner and then moved a couple of tables for dancing later. I did not have a wedding planner and they made everything easy, from planning the menu to the set-up it was a stress free day! I would strongly recommend Sepia Private Dining for all of your smaller events.
