My daughter got married at Sequoia on 10/26/19. The venue was perfect, the food delicious, service was spectacular and the views were amazing. The light fixture across the dance floor is spectacular in photos. The caterer Tatum J was unbelievable. She is so easy to work with and accommodating. I don't think I heard her say no to anything. Chris our concierge for the night made sure every need or wish was taken care of. Our guests were blown away. You cant go wrong having your wedding here.

We have not had the wedding yet but we have had the tasting and several calls and questions. Tatum always responds promptly and has been extremely accommodating to our requests. Much better than the other vendors we considered.

Quaid and his team at Sequoia were top notch! The view, the food, and the space were perfect. We were so lucky to find this gem of a spot as well a a gem of an event manager in Quaid. We truly had the best day of our lives and in large part it was due to Sequoia.

Choosing Sequoia as our wedding venue was the best decision my husband and I could have possibly made. Sequoia is absolutely STUNNING- our guests were blown away by the unbelievable waterfront views and twinkling city lights. They couldn’t stop exclaiming over it! The service was also IMPECCABLE. It was the quickest I have ever seen a large dinner served and our guests were NEVER waiting for a drink at the bar. Important to note, the speed did NOT diminish the quality. The food was absolutely incredible. Our guests were raving about it, saying it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding!! The staff was incredibly professional, as well. I also cannot say enough about the Event Planner/Catering Sales Manager that we had the pleasure of working with- Quaid Coxsey. From the moment my family and I met Quaid, we knew we were in good hands. He was there, every step of the way, to answer questions, communicate with vendors, and SO MUCH MORE. He truly put my husband an... Read mored I at such great ease from the get go. Our wedding day was stress free, seamless, GORGEOUS, fun, and all around perfect and I attribute MUCH of that to Quaid. His attention to detail, quick responsive time, and positive demeanor made working with him a true joy. I cannot give Sequoia, and Quaid, a more glowing recommendation!!!

Sequoia is the perfect choice if you are looking for unbeatable views, white glove service, and top-notch professionalism. It is absolutely one of the best wedding venues in Washington, DC. I worked with Tatum, who from the very beginning was extremely knowledgeable about all the necessary details, engaged, responsive, and personable. She was so organized and on top of everything that it allowed me to relax and not stress about cocktail hour or the wedding reception. Tatum is phenomenal to work with and her expertise truly puts you at ease. The execution of all the details by her team on the big day made Sequoia the perfect choice! The level of service is top-notch. Even our guests were giving praises to the service throughout the night and even days after the event. We were even given a personal server, Chris, for the bride/groom. He was outstanding! Chris was extremely attentive, made sure we were enjoying each aspect of the evening, was there if we needed anything, and even ... Read moremade a to-go bag with food served throughout the night for us to bring back to our hotel room. Sequoia’s staff definitely goes above-and-beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable evening. All of our guests are still raving about the outstanding food! We are still being told how delicious, warm, and timely the food/service was. During cocktail hour we had passed hors d’oeuvres, then a seated dinner service, and later in the evening late night snacks. Everyone left stuffed and people jokingly complained that they likely gained 5lbs that night. You even get a specialty cocktail that night for you and your guests, which we all loved. Sequoia is so stunning on its own that you don’t need a lot of decorations. There are floor to ceiling windows that overlook the Potomac with views of the Kennedy Center, hardwood floors, and modern décor. Our cocktail hour was on the second floor balcony that overlooked the main dinning room and then we moved downstairs for dinner and dancing. Our guests are still raving about the views from both floors. Sequoia as a venue and the team provide an unforgettable experience from start to finish that will leave you and your guests in awe. To this day, we are still being told by our guests that our wedding reception was the best event they have ever been to. Thank you Sequoia, Tatum, Chris, & Team for making such a memorable evening!

We booked Sequoia for our wedding and were amazed by the result. The weather cooperated and we had our ceremony outdoors overlooking the river for an amazing view. The food was amazing, and the staff took excellent care of our guests, including a few with severe allergies (meals were customized for their needs). All of the guests were happy, and we were too!

We had the best wedding at Sequoia! From the very beginning Lila, the wedding coordinator, was so sweet and accommodating ... she made planning a breeze. We even had a last minute food change and she handled it immediately. I can’t thank her enough for all her hard work and creativity. She even helped the florist set everything up and she even added more decor! The staff at Sequoia is so professional and made sure we had an amazing time. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and our guests got to utilize the outdoor space and enjoy all the views of the waterfront. I could not have asked for a better wedding venue!

The Sequoia is a perfect wedding venue for those looking to host a classic and beautiful evening. It was my dream venue to begin with and it exceeded expectations! The setup of the restaurant is great and it has unbeatable views of the waterfront and Kennedy Center. Our guests were very impressed. Lila the Sequoia wedding coordinator was fabulous, she went out of her way on multiple occasions to make sure we were happy. She made sure our wedding dreams became realities. She is the best! The food was delicious, we had many guests compliment the food. The portions were bigger so no one was hungry. The dessert bar was amazing too! Highly recommend Sequoia!

My wedding planning experience and party was amazing at Sequoia. We worked with Tatum and have no words for how phenomenal she was to work with. She was just so honest, flexible and delivered everything she promised to the T. I would highly recommend Sequoia for any weddings or parties! I would specifically ask for Tatum to work with!

Sincere thanks to Lila and her staff for putting together a gorgeous evening wedding. Lila was always available — very focused on whatever she could do to make the night just right — and we really benefited from her advice and expertise. Everything was well-done — from prompt passing of delicious hors d’oeuvres and drinks — to seating 150 guests while leaving room for a large dance floor — to personal servers for the bridal party. The space looked just right for both the ceremony and the supper — lovely view of the Potomac — with access to outdoor terrace. Very happy with venue and professional service!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Sequoia and everything was absolutely perfect! We didn’t want to deal with DC summer heat so we were looking for an indoor venue – Sequoia was perfect because, while it is indoors, the giant windows allow for so much natural light and beautiful views of the river. From when we first inquired about having our reception there, to doing our tasting, to the actual day of the wedding, Andrea and her team at Sequoia were great to work with. We live in Chicago so we were a bit nervous about planning our wedding from a distance but Sequoia made everything so easy. Our guests raved about how good all the food was and how perfect the set-up of the reception was. We really wanted the band and the dancing to be the focus of the reception and at Sequoia we were able to put the band right in the middle so that everyone had easy access to the dance floor. Another plus was that the bar was right near the dance floor so people didn’t have to decide be... Read moretween getting a drink and dancing. Also, the service was amazing – our guests talked about how they never even had to wait at the bar for a drink. Sequoia assigned a personal server to my husband and me who made sure we always had a drink and that we actually ate food throughout the evening. At the end of the night, Sequoia even made a to-go bag of a serving of all the food that had been served throughout the night (appetizers, main course, cake, and desserts) for my husband and I to take back with us to our hotel room. We could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out – Sequoia was amazing!

Lila Dougly orchestrated a beautiful rehearsal dinner for approximately 75 of our guests . She and the sequoia delivered on every aspect - the event was elegant , the setting spectacular , the food high quality , delicious and beautifully presented, the service top notch. Lila made the planning almost effortless and completely stress- free, even though we lived out of state. Everything that was promised was delivered. For the extremely high quality, the price was ver reasonable. Did not have a single complaint - it was a wonderful experience!!

We worked with Quaid Coxsey at Sequoia to honor a non-profit leader with a reception and seated dinner. Location and space were perfect, food was awesome. Very professionally managed - from a great tasting to final menu selection, numbers and details. Would definitely book again.

We are so happy to have had our winter wedding at Sequoia. The venue was stunningly gorgeous, the food was super delicious, and the service was absolutely impeccable. It was no surprise that, as a restaurant, Sequoia had a wide selection of food options to choose from ahead of time. We received SO many compliments on the variety and qualify of food! We were also really impressed with their service. They gave us a personal “concierge” for the night, who catered to our every need during the wedding. Chris even ended up breaking it down on the dance floor with the bride later in the night! Overall, Sequoia was very attentive to our needs and those of our guests. Sequoia was also very flexible and more than willing to accommodate our personal preferences when we asked for changes from the “norm.” While this venue is on the pricey side, we undoubtedly received high quality service and food. We would highly recommend this venue!
