The Firehouse was our absolute dream wedding venue. Everything was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The courtyard almost transports you to a different place and it is so magical back there. Working with Brittnie was the best and she was there for us every step of the way. She and her team made our wedding vision to come life and I truly can't recommend The Firehouse more! I can't even begin to tell you how many times we heard that it was the most beautiful wedding venue they have been to. The bistro lights, ivy, lamp posts, fountains, and beautiful bar are a few of my favorite details of the venue. The food and drinks were delicious and the entire staff was professional, attentive, and kind. We are so glad that The Firehouse will forever be apart of our lives and we can't wait to continue to celebrate all of our biggest events there!

We just had our wedding here on 5/6/23 and everything turned out beautifully!!! The courtyard is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue. It is timeless, romantic, elegant, and feels intimate (although it can accommodate a lot of guests)! We had about 90 guests and it felt perfect. The food was delicious, and the staff were SO friendly and helpful throughout the evening. Brittnie, our coordinator, was a delight to work with from start to finish. I highly recommend using their preferred vendor list--everything is really smooth when you have vendors who have worked the venue before. If you are looking for a beautiful venue with delicious food, I can't recommend The Firehouse enough!

The Firehouse was the perfect venue for our wedding. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and the food was great. However, we did have some issues regarding communicating with the ...

venue's event planners over the course of planning our wedding. They were often unresponsive even in the days right before our wedding. Overall, a great venue but wish the process would have been a little easier with regards to planning.

For couples looking for a smaller, more intimate venue that has experienced staff. . . GO TO THE FIREHOUSE RESTAURANT! My husband and I just got married there; we had roughly 75 gu...

ests and the private events courtyard was fantastic! It isn't just a beautiful location, the staff was efficient, professional, and experienced! I received many compliments throughout the evening from guests who raved about the delicious food and the friendly service. Brittnie (and her team) were so wonderfully supportive and walked me through the process, down to every last detail so our wedding would be as seamless as possible. I loved this place and my husband and I were so delighted we were married here!

We had our wedding here in October 2019 and this was without a doubt the perfect venue for a wedding in the Sacramento area. Randy, Ashli and the Firehouse team did an incredible j...

ob to make this special day absolutely perfect. From the very first venue tour, we fell in love with the Firehouse and appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of the staff. They made it very clear from the beginning that our special day would go smoothly and we, our wedding party and guests would truly be able to enjoy it without having to worry about logistics. Our planning meetings were so much fun and Randy’s expertise ensured we would be on track and have everything ready for our big day. The courtyard is a perfect atmosphere for a wedding ceremony that is spacious enough, but also very intimate. The fountains, ivy, and brick detailing make for gorgeous photo backgrounds and scenery throughout the evening. The food was out of this world and the menu had something for everyone to enjoy. The wait staff was incredibly attentive and took care of anything and everything we needed. How the courtyard is transformed from the ceremony, to dining, to dance floor is seamless and we had plenty of room to get down with our guests and party it up on the dance floor. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect and I would highly recommend the Firehouse to any couple planning to get married in the Sacramento area. You will be treated like family and wish you could do it all over again.

the wedding Randy felt like a part of the family and I was so excited for him to be there with us on our day. He made sure my husband and I had everything we needed, that everything was seamless and that the process leading up to the day was stress free! The venue is absolutely beautiful, food is AMAZING and the entire team was so wonderful! Every guest was awed by the way Randy ran the event!

The Firehouse and Randy's team made all of our wedding dreams come true. After visiting several venues we chose this one based on the pure beauty of the courtyard and the great re...

views. We were not disappointed. The service was amazing and Randy and his team thought of everything. Wedding planning was relatively low stress and we owe it all to Randy. All of the details and planning were completed during our in person meeting, a few emails, and a phone conversation. We were only responsible for dropping off dry goods the day before and then we simply arrived on our wedding day to the most beautiful setting. Our vision was completely understood and the team executed it perfectly. You cannot beat the value, beauty, or service of this venue! Thank you so much.

ORGEOUS, the staff is amazing, the price was very affordable and Randy Bowling will make your dreams come true. We had a theme wedding and he helped make our ideas a reality. The one thing I can NOT gush about enough is how little stress this venue is. We literally brought our stuff for the wedding and they set up everything.... EVERYTHING. They also boxed it up at the end of the night as well so we could pick it up in the next morning. If you are debating if this venue is for you, don’t, Randy and this team is the best.

We had the most amazing wedding at the Firehouse! Randy, the wedding coordinator we worked with, attended to all of our needs and wants. He was super responsive to all of our que...

stions in the months leading up to the wedding. We had a non-traditional officiant, so we relied heavily on Randy’s knowledge of ceremony procedures, too. He was super patient with our wedding party as well. The rehearsal was super helpful, too. I cannot even describe how beautiful the reception was. I had no idea how much was going on to prepare the courtyard while I was getting ready. I cannot believe how stunningly elegant the lights in the trees and the table settings looked. The food was really delicious, as is to be expected at the Firehouse. I am so grateful to the staff for making sure we got a plate of appetizers and a chance to sit down and actually eat our meal.

mend). The food was amazing! All of the guests raved about the food to us. The venue itself is beautiful, which is why we chose it in the first place. The whole feel to the place is so romantic. Especially with all of the lights on and candles at night. Randy and his team really brought everything together and made it look even better than I ever imagined. Our wedding day was the perfect day! A big thank you to Randy for helping us get everything coordinated along the way and on the big day. :)

The team at the Firehouse was good, but Randy (the coordinator) was GREAT. I was skeptical at having our wedding at a restaurant but after the walk through we know it was the right...

place for us. Working with Randy was a dream, he was always direct about what he needed from us but polite and playful. The venue worked out perfectly for us, we barely had to decorate at all, all of the food was amazing and I was told more than once that it was the most beautiful wedding anyone had been to!

My wife and I were married here Saturday 1/3/15. We had an intimate wedding with 70 guests with our ceremony in the Courtyard and reception in the Courtyard Grill room. The experie...

nce was so positive that I wanted to leave a few key points: * We planned the event from overseas and the entire process was smooth - there were only happy surprises and otherwise nothing unexpected * Randy the wedding coordinator facilitated everything we wanted (and could have done much more if asked), making sure everything was executed flawlessly in preparation and during * Isaac the Captain of the servers ran a tight ship and made sure we got everything we needed - the service was impeccable * The setup was great, the place was beautiful, everybody loved their food (and they were very helpful with a gluten free guest) * We liked the options for hosting the bar, and their preset options (e.g. pre-selected wines, capped cocktails) made this easy Can't fault anything seriously enough to mention. We had the perfect Sac winter wedding. Give these guys a call and set up a meeting if you're considering it.

This restaurant has an outdoor courtyard that screams romance. There is ivy growing up the brick walls and twinkle lit trees. We wanted a romantic outdoor setting and Firehouse cou...

ldn't have been more perfect. The venue itself is so beautiful that little decor is needed which is great because we didn't want to spend an arm and a leg for flowers. The food was fabulous and the service overall was great. There was a mix up with the food count which was partially my fault and my mom spent a while dealing with that the night of. Randy is also really great during the planning process. I probably drove him crazy with questions but he never seemed to mind.Truly couldn't have been more perfect. Only downside to this location is that there is not parking specifically for it. Guests have to park in the nearby parking garage and walk.
