I don’t even know where to start… My husband and I got married at The Sanctuary about a month ago, and choosing this venue was truly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From... the moment we walked into the cathedral for our tour, we just knew this was the one. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, but what truly makes The Sanctuary so special is the incredible team behind it.
From the very beginning, we felt so supported throughout the entire wedding planning process. I sent many, many emails and text messages over the course of 14 months (while balancing grad school), and never once did the team make me feel like a bother. Everyone was always so kind, patient, helpful, and genuinely excited with/for us.
We chose not to hire a wedding planner or third-party coordination team because we trusted The Sanctuary team completely, and I am SO glad we did. They brought our vision to life so beautifully, even during moments when I didn’t fully know what I wanted for myself. Whether it was helping with layouts, timelines, or day-of details, they handled everything so seamlessly and thoughtfully.
We were so happy with everything included in the Elite Package — photobooth, food, bar, florals, etc. Our guests especially loved the hors d’oeuvres! We also had such a great experience with the preferred vendors – DJ Gio and Annie from Little Blue Hummingbird.
We had the pleasure of working closely with Olivia in the months leading up to the wedding, and she is truly the best — warm, fun, understanding, experienced, and so incredibly sweet (I seriously love her). On the wedding day itself, Olivia and Kelli made me feel so relaxed, taken care of, and fully present. They truly went above and beyond for us.
We are endlessly grateful for the entire venue team, especially Olivia, Kelli, Nayla (our banquet captain), Madi, Fumi, and Kevin (general manager). One thing we appreciated so much was how intentional everyone was throughout the day – constantly checking in on us, making sure we had everything we needed, and genuinely caring about our experience. Kevin even went table to table introducing himself to guests and making sure everyone was having a wonderful time, which meant so much to us and our families.
Everything went so smoothly, and we felt so supported, understood, and cared for every step of the way. Our wedding day was more beautiful and magical than we could have ever imagined — filled with so much love, joy, and special moments we’ll cherish forever. We truly cannot recommend The Sanctuary enough. This team became like family to us, and we are endlessly grateful that we get to say we were married here.
Thank you for everything — we love you guys!
Forever & always,
Emily & Matthew
