We had a very small wedding, with just 20 guests, and one of the things we refused to compromise on was the food. 87 Sussex is one of our favorite local restaurants and when we dec...
ided to keep our wedding small we knew we wanted our dinner/reception here.
The staff was amazing to work with. Emily was attentive and so helpful, answering all of our questions. The waitstaff was so professional. On top of that, the restaurant itself is absolutely gorgeous and did not require any additional decorations.
And the food was quality. I cannot say enough about how much our guests loved the food. We have several vegetarians in our families, and none of the vegetarian dishes felt like after thoughts. They had just as much effort put into them as every other dish.
We highly recommend 87 Sussex.
