  • Unique intimate wedding reception

    Private Dining by Sepia was easy to work with and I was so thankful that I chose them to host my small wedding reception. Kali and Stephanie were both wonderful and I really appreciated all their help. Many of my guests commented on the beauty of the venue and that it was the best meal they’ve ever had.

    We could not imagine a more ideal venue to have hosted our intimate wedding reception. The PD by Sepia team was hospitable and communicative from start to finish. Every interaction during planning made us feel like this was a well-oiled machine, and even with these high expectations, we were blown away on our wedding day. We can’t recommend Sepia enough if you want a stress-free, attentive, delicious experience.

    We could not have been happier with Private Dining by Sepia in any way! They were easy to work with, the space was absolutely stunning, and the food was delicious. We wanted a space that was small but dramatic and this was perfect. Kali was our coordinator, she was quick to respond and professional in the planning process. The staff working during our wedding were kind, attentive, and provided excellent service. Get the duck, it was delicious!

    When my husband and I reached out to Sepia for our wedding reception, we were met with professionalism at the very start. Kali was incredibly communicative, clear, and articulate when helping us discuss our options and plan for the dinner. The food was spectacular and picking Sepia was an excellent choice, especially considering that wedding food is usually less than ideal. Sepia also communicated with our vendors to ensure our flowers, cake, etc. were delivered on time. The event ran impeccably smooth and the private dining space was beautifully designed. We can’t thank you enough for the enjoyable evening.
