If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines charm, elegance, and exceptional service, The Sepulveda Home is the place to be. From the moment we arrived, the beautiful ambia...
nce of the venue left us in awe. The mix of historic character and modern amenities creates the perfect backdrop for both intimate and grand celebrations.
The staff is incredibly attentive, and I must give a special shout-out to Sara! She went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless and stress-free. Sara was so organized, detail-oriented, and warm throughout the planning process, making us feel like we were the only ones she was focusing on. Her recommendations and support were invaluable.
The venue itself boasts lovely indoor and outdoor spaces, including a garden area that adds a romantic touch. The main hall has fantastic lighting and a cozy yet sophisticated feel. The kitchen and catering setup are also top-notch, ensuring guests enjoy a smooth and delicious dining experience.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you're in search of a venue with impeccable service and a stunning atmosphere, The Sepulveda Home and the amazing Sara will make your special day unforgettable. Highly recommended!

hile being spacious and artfully decorated (mystical greenery, easy movement flow from ceremony to reception to bar). You can tell that much love and thought went into designing this stunning venue.
We worked with Sara from beginning to end, and she was so caring, knowledgeable, attentive to details, and easy to trust!
Moreover, after seeing many corporate venues who charged extra fees for every little detail, it was such a breath of fresh air to have Sara proactively provide a quote that was inclusive of everything (taxes, fees, etc.) Though seemingly a minor detail, it left quite an impression on me and my husband and indicated to us the values that reflect how Sara and her family approach their clients. We greatly appreciated this!
What an honor to have spent our wedding day at the Sepulveda Home. Sara, thank you, your mom, and your family for everything!
I could not be more willing to write this review for the Sepulveda Home! First of all, we had our wedding reception at the beautiful home last November and it was also a destinati...
on wedding for us so I was obviously anxious at first about the planning since I was doing everything site unseen. Our special day was also planned in a matter of 4 months (5 month engagement) so there was that on top of it, too. However, Sara completely put me at ease and thought of EVERYTHING/had so many awesome ideas!! She is amazing!! Our reception turned out absolutely perfect and became everything we dreamed of and more. So many of our friends said it was hands down the best event they have been to and the coolest location (and I agree) :). Also, we decided to book the jazz band through the home and they killed it. Having the jazz band totally completed the ambience and I would highly recommend booking them! They played our requested first dance song "At Last" and it turned out to be so special and beautiful. We also were very happy with the pricing and the catering. As no surprise, so many of our guests said it was the best wedding food they have had and the food also surpassed my hubby's and I's expectations. This bride here had a heaping plate! Overall, everyone was so relaxed since it felt like your family's backyard and since the staff were so welcoming and special. The communication throughout the process was smooth and you'll find Sara taking care of your guests and the bride and groom from start to end. She was even taking polaroids with our camera of our guests throughout the night and giving them home tours and making sure our drinks were replenished ;). You will not regret booking with the Sepulveda Home.
Sara and Juliet are truly the best! They were always available for any questions that we had and made the whole process way to easy. The venue is intimate and spectacular, all of o...

the wedding night. Perfect. The highlight of our experience was our wedding day - Sara and Bridget directed everything flawlessly there was never an opportunity for us to worry about a thing. The Sepulveda Home was the only venue that had it all “set up” when we went to take a look - Sara recommended we come in the evening to see the lights and how it looks in the evening and had jazz music playing softly in the background - we were sold immediately from the classy and intimate atmosphere in the green lush venue. She has been friendly throughout the process and offers opinions and helps weigh pros and cons on colors, linens, decor, anything. Sara is a very positive, friendly, welcoming host who clearly loves the venue. During and after, our guests kept gushing over how unique and beautiful this venue was for our wedding. The venue was a "social garden" that encourages movement throughout the venue, and the bar is rustic and classy, with cigars for purchase in a case, wine barrels, exposed wood, and a trellis overhang that has grapevines growing above. The ceremony area has a huge sweeping pepper tree and during our May 24 wedding with ceremony starting at 5:55pm (originally at 5:30 but guests were still trickling in), the sun was just filtering through the leaves for perfect light. So many perfect things: the balcony overlooking the San Pedro pier for toasts, the retro espresso machine next to the cake serving corner wafting the intoxicating smell in the evening, the included linens, assorted chandeliers centerpieces, chiavari chairs in the price. What's more, as of our booking Sara and team only does 10 weddings a year, so we didn’t have to clash with other brides who may be preparing for an event during the same time or even the same weekend. Perfection!!
We feel so glad that we chose to work with Sara and have our wedding at The Sepulveda Home. We knew that we did not want to have our wedding at a hotel or a reception hall, so we w...
ere looking specifically for a unique, intimate and romantic venue, preferably with a vintage vibe. The Sepulveda Home was the perfect match!
The home itself is absolutely gorgeous. Our photographers went nuts, and the pictures could be a spread in Vogue. The outdoor space, where the wedding is held, offers many little nooks and special areas for your guests to discover.
Sara, the wedding coordinator, was absolutely the best part of the experience. We booked the venue nearly a year in advance, and we were in contact the entire time. No question was too small, and in fact, I often received a response within an hour. She was open to anything I wanted to do to personalize the day, but she had a clear vision of what would work and what wouldn't. There were some things that I really had no opinion on, so I passed those things onto her without hesitation. One of our vendors was not the easiest to deal with, and at a certain point I became frustrated and basically passed them off to Sara to handle. I was honest with Sara about my experience, and she assured me that everything would be fine on the day of the wedding, which it was. However, she is no longer going to use that service, so no need for others to worry.
The day of our wedding went smoothly from start to finish. If anything came up, it wasn't brought to my attention, which I really appreciated.
Overall, you must see The Sepulveda Home in person to decide if it is the right venue for you. If you want 400 people in a hotel ballroom, this is not going to work for you. But if you want a charming, romantic, intimate event with a great staff, I'd highly recommend this place!
There are truly not enough compliments I can give Sara and her mother. They took amazing care of us during the entire planning process, helped us find vendors (including our cater...
er and photographer who were both equally spectacular), and made every last detail count. I did not have to worry about schedule or timing at all, they made everything run smoothly and all I had to do was enjoy my new husband.
They are experts at what they do, from the quality of service to the design of the venue. As part of our package we were able to take pictures inside their vintage home (all period decorated) which was a truly special experience for us (and provided amazing photo ops). There’s no beating the plantation style porch (where we had our first look) and whimsical backyard with its split level design - perfect for separating the dance floor and tables.
The garden is a magical place for a wedding. There's eye candy everywhere: and outdoor brick fireplace, antique cappuccino machine, a balcony perfect for a little band or the bouquet toss, and chandelier in the tree over the dance floor. Little is needed in the way of additional decoration and everything is provided in your package so you can be as involved or detached as you’d like. That said they took all of our ideas and incorporated them beautifully. It felt like I was inside of a movie when I saw our venue set up for the first time.
Sara and her mother consistently use the same staff (catering is included as well) so everyone is on the same page. They emphasize the importance of making your day as special as possible, and their attention to detail is unparalleled. After seeing the venue for the first time I knew there was nothing that would come close to competing with what they could offer.
If you’re looking for a garden wedding, or a vintage themed wedding, or just simply a wonderful place to celebrate your day - look no further. The Sepulveda Home has just the right amount of magic and romance to make your day unforgettable.
Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of us, you took away all of the stress and let me have the best time of my life!
From the moment I walked onto The Sepulveda Home's driveway I fell in love. The backyard is beautiful and full of life! Everywhere you look you see you flowers or plants or trees. ...
Sara was very kind and professional and made us feel very comfortable and secure in choosing to work with her. Her mother, Susan, was our singer with her jazz band.....now that is something I will always remember. I was getting ready and taking photos in the bridal suite with my maid of honor and the bridal suite window is next to the stage and I instantly felt relaxed when I heard the band start. I actually had to take a double look out the window when Susan started to sing because she sounded so amazing. The band learned the Ella Fitzgerald version of Dream a Little Dream for our first dance and it was AMAZING. The bar and the fireplace were probably the most fun areas to get enjoy some quality time with our guests and originally we had opted to be seated with our guests while we ate dinner but a last minute change for us to eat on the balcony that is allowed for only the Bride and Groom was a perfect choice for us! My Husband has been sending couples away from his work venue in fact to the Sepulveda Home. It was truly a dream location for us!
We just got married at the Sepulveda Home and it was absolutely magical. It is in a residential neighborhood in San Pedro, but as soon as you step into the back yard it feels like...
you are far from the city. It is so beautiful with a big brick fireplace and chandeliers hanging from the trees.
The bride's dressing room is one of the most beautiful rooms I have been in. My girlfriends and I all decided we wanted to move in! Getting all dressed up in such a setting really added to the feeling of being the beautiful bride.
Sara and her mother who own the home and run the venue are absolutely amazing. It was their family home growing up and you feel it in how they manage everything with so much caring and attention to detail. I couldn't have gotten through the planning process without Sara. She was SO helpful, always giving me a very prompt reply to any questions I had.or direction in anything I needed.
Then whole night was spectacular. Sara and her mom checked in with me throughout the night to make sure I was happy. The were so on top of everything! And I was SO happy! This venue really is so beautiful and they go above and beyond to make sure you have your perfect wedding.
