I cannot recommend a place more highly than the Sazama’s team at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts. Everything about the process was stress-free and professional. It was clear that they had years of experience and dedicated staff. We did not have a wedding planner and we had a 230+ person wedding. [They] made sure every detail was thought of and attended to. [They were] kind and flexible and had a calming way about [them]. Planning a wedding can be stressful, so to work with people who are calm and know what they are doing is a huge help. [They] did so many extra steps for us, like coordinating place covers and setting up our decorations. Their pricing was fair and transparent, and they were easy to work with when customizing packages. Beyond the process, the day itself was perfect! I had guests say their steak was one of the best they’ve had- not just at a wedding but overall! The passed food during cocktail hour was delicious and the staff was great. Not one detail was missed. Somehow [they were] always nearby when I had a question and they were awesome at keeping things on time. They even brought cocktails to us from the bar so we wouldn’t have to get up during dinner. The venue was so elegant yet the two outdoor spaces allowed us to have corn hole and giant Jenga during the cocktail hour and cigars during the band break. We had a fantastic plated dinner and Sazama’s casual late night food later. They really had it all! The views of the sunset on river are so stunning and the long room meant tables were only two rows deep in front of our head table, so even though it was a large wedding, it felt personal. You could really tell they took pride in their work and truly wanted your day to be perfect – and ours was. I would give them 100 stars and recommend them again and again.
