I had my ceremony and reception held at Sassafraz on Nov 27th and I can not even begin to explain how wonderful and perfect everything was. From the beginning of contact with Dennette, the event planner, the communication was clear, friendly, prompt and professional! The service was beyond perfect! EVERYONE that worked there was wonderful - Polite, professional, and great at what they did! The food was impeccable! All of my guests were full and were full of compliments! So pleased! The venue space is a great spot to have an intimate gathering, especially a wedding! Everything was perfect!!!
We will be definitely heading back for our 1st yr anniversary!
Thank you to the Sassafraz team!!

Our back-and-forth dealings with Sassafraz, specifically Dennette, lasted well over a year, thanks to constantly changing COVID restrictions. Finally, we held our reception on September 26, 2021. There really are not enough complimentary words to describe how amazing we found the experience. Event Planning: Without having hired a separate wedding planner, Dennette efficiently took us through all the considerations and decisions needed to make our event a success at Sassafraz. She was prompt to answer all emails, available for phone calls/meets, and thorough in covering all bases. In short, she is super experienced and organized, and will handily guide you through the entire process. She also stayed to help make sure the event ran smoothly, before handing over to the dining manager. Service: The waitstaff and bartenders at Sassafraz are friendly and well-trained. We were asked by multiple happy guests to pass along their compliments to the dining/floor managers. The event setup, transitions (as required), and food service were all timely and organized. Sassafraz was accommodating in letting us pre-store a few decor items prior to the event, and proactively asked their door greeters to help us move any same-day deliveries to the 2nd floor upon arrival. Food: The food was delicious! Guests were more than thrilled with the selection, delivery, and flavour. The Sassafraz chef and kitchen also allowed us to customize our menus from standard options, and the quality and presentation remained superb. Overall, we just had a great feeling when we first sat down with Dennette to consider using Sassafraz as our wedding venue choice, and time proved us right. They exceeded most all our expectations in every way, and we would sincerely recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone else. Thanks Sassafraz, for an amazing experience!

Dennette , her team and the staff were super professional and friendly! My guests and my husband and I really had an amazing time! My wedding was on September 19th, during a pandemic and everything went according to the plan! Throughout the planning process,Dennette responded super quickly and was on top of everything! She helped to make our wedding planning super smooth! Every single one of my guests said that the food was divine and the service was superb! We couldn’t be happier with how everything went. I highly recommend Sassafraz as the venue for the ceremony and reception!
