Couple Testimonials
I had the opportunity of photographing a wedding at The Sanctuary on Penn and I can’t say enough positive things about my experience there. The staff that helped with the day were very personable and thorough. They turned the ceremony location around very quickly into the reception and it looked great! The whole vibe of the building is so beautiful and provides different spaces throughout to take portraits. I would recommend this space to any future brides!
”As a wedding photographer, I love an older building with a gorgeous interior. The Sanctuary on Penn was exactly that! The staff was very helpful and answered any questions I had. The resident DJ was awesome and kept the guests + bridal party engaged which made for amazing photos. The basement is also super spacious and a great place to hang out before the ceremony. The two rooms for the bride and groom to get ready in was a bit tiny. If you have a big wedding party, keep that in mind. Great experience at this venue!
”Grace and the Sanctuary team are simply amazing. We got married here earlier this year and they made everything a breeze. They were always there if we needed to stop by, were prompt with responding to our questions, and were there to help us every step of the way.
The venue and the food are also amazing. We had many compliments on it throughout the night. Special shoutout to Grace. We had SO many people complimenting her work on making sure everything ran smoothly.
She truly is awesome! Would strongly recommend this place for your wedding.
”Grace and her Team are awesome and helped make my Daughter and Son in law’s 8/26/23 wedding an incredible and memorable event! They are true pros. Smart, hardworking, and full of great ideas. The DJ, Ted was awesome and kept the dance floor full and dancers engaged! Food and bar service were all excellent. Can’t say enough about how well the whole Team planned and then executed. THANKS!
