My wife and I had the absolute BEST wedding imaginable at the Sinclair. Every little detail was perfect. The care and attention that was paid by every single staff-person, vendor and employee was second to none. The venue is STUNNING and you can tell how much care went into making the space everything any couple would want from a wedding venue. It would be very difficult to find a venue and team that exceeds what you will get at the Sinclair. Every member of the Sinclair and Rosalies team were as communicative as possible. Anytime we reached out throughout the planning process, we got quick and thorough responses. There was no guessing about how our day would go. They perfected every detail; Our guest have been raving non-stop about the venue, food and service. Thank you thank thank you!
