A Perfect Night
We knew Sequoia was the spot for us the second we walked in, the space is absolutely gorgeous. Lila was our point of contact and she was an absolute pleasure to work with, her team was very responsive and helped make our day very special. Ruben and Lila managed multiple vendors and put on a seamless ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, along with a team of high quality servers and bartenders! All our guests were blown away with the quality of the food and drinks. If you are looking for a truly beautiful venue on the Georgetown waterfront where everything is taken care of by an exceptional group of people, please look no further than Sequoia! Additionally, the complimentary suite at the Watergate was stunning. They were also able to seamlessly manage a wide range of guests with allergies and dietary preferences.-

Rebecca B. Married on 09/24/2022Anticipated Every Need
Tatum, Ruben, and the whole Seqouia staff ensured that we had the wedding of our dreams! They went above and beyond, accommodating numerous changes, running our rehearsal, rapidly answering dozens of emails, and on our wedding day they made sure that I (bride) never had an empty glass of wine! The whole event went seemlessly and our guests wanted for nothing. Seqouia anticipated problems before they could affect anyone, like light in their eyes during the ceremony. There was never a line at the bar, though there was competition to snag glasses of one of our 2 signature drinks (a Seqouia creation) because it was so popular!!! -

Caroline D. Married on 09/17/2022Sequoia is a fantastic venue with great food
We loved having our wedding at Sequoia--the night was perfect and the planning process was so organized and easy. Tatum is amazing and super responsive and easy to work with. They were great about allergies and dietary restrictions, and all the food was delicious! A lot of our guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding (appetizers were AMAZING--especially the pork belly sliders!). We had 135 guests and the cocktail hour space seemed like it would be very tight with more people, but there was plenty of room downstairs for dinner and dancing so I could see the space working well with a larger event too. Everything is wheelchair accessible except the mezzanine where we did cocktail hour. -
