My wedding reception at the Sequoia Mansion was everything I wanted and more! The staff was absolutely incredible, both leading up to the big day and on the day itself. Amy, our Event Expert, made the planning process so easy and so enjoyable. From decor to timelines to the buffet menu, Amy ensured that my husband and I had everything we needed, and gave us so many wonderful ideas along the way. She even worked with our photographer to present us with a framed photo of our first kiss from our ceremony just hours before, which was so sweet and thoughtful!
We attended the Mansion's Wedding Faire about six months before our wedding, as well, so we got to meet all of their amazing vendors (photographer, florist, baker, etc.), tour the venue, and really envision what our wedding day would be like, which was extremely helpful. Both then and on the day of our wedding, the food was absolutely delicious, the bartender made us fantastic cocktails, and the DJ ensured we stuck to our timeline -- while also making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Members of the Sequoia Mansion team checked on us periodically throughout the entire evening to make sure we were comfortable and satisfied, without being overbearing. I never once felt stressed or disappointed, and I was able to focus on celebrating with my loved ones without any distractions.
Perhaps one of my favorite features about the Sequoia Mansion was the family-feel of its environment. Not only did the staff feel like family, but our own families were able to enjoy one another's company without feeling crammed into a small space. We had about 125 guests attend, and there was plenty of room for us to mingle, dance, and sit comfortably at dinner, but the space didn't feel overwhelmingly large either. My husband and I even got to take about an hour's worth of photos around the venue while our guests attended cocktail hour, which was so nice for everybody involved (there are so many beautiful places around the property to take photos, both inside and outside).
I couldn't have asked for a better experience with the Sequoia Mansion. They made my wedding day truly magical, and my husband and I will be forever grateful to them for all of their efforts and kindness.
