Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Built in 1853 as the home of Engine Company No. 3, this Gold Rush-era landmark sits at the heart of Sacramento's now-bustling historic riverfront district. In 1960 it opened as a restaurant, offering five cool Gilded Era dining and reception areas with 12-foot ceilings, mahogany wainscoting, ornate mirrors, and massive paintings of grande dames and robber barons.
- Shaded by a canopy of mulberry and Chinese elm trees, the Courtyard is a cool oasis perfect for al fresco ceremonies. Guests entering through the narrow 19th-century alley feel as though they've been transported to another place and time: The wrought-iron balconies, ivy-covered brick walls, fountains, and lush greenery feel more like New Orleans than Sacramento. With lights laced through the overhanging branches, it’s magic on summer nights.
- The exquisite cuisine showcases California nouveau continental flavors, accompanied by selections from the 16,000-bottle wine cellar (with 2,100 labels!), the largest in the Valley. If you like, the celebration can spread onto the adjacent Courtyard Grill, a garden-like room under a Tiffany-style glass dome with a long bar, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a massive fireplace used on cool evenings.
