    One of the best decisions we made during our wedding was choosing Revival at the Kimpton Sawyer for our cocktail reception. The rooftop setting was nothing short of stunning—elevated high above the heart of Sacramento, it created an effortlessly chic and elegant atmosphere that wowed our guests from the moment they arrived. The Revival team was outstanding—attentive, professional, and incredibly accommodating. From the seamless setup to fulfilling every special request, their service exceeded all expectations. They worked closely with us to curate a custom cocktail menu that was both inventive and crowd-pleasing—every drink was a hit! The food was equally impressive, with beautifully presented passed appetizers and flavorful small plates that kept guests raving all night. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a vibrant event under the stars, Revival delivers an unforgettable rooftop experience. It’s the perfect blend of style, service, and skyline views!

    My husband and I are beyond grateful for the unforgettable experience we had at our wedding, made truly magical by the incredible staff at the Kimpton Sawyer. They made everything seamless — not just for us, but for our wedding party, guests, and vendors. Everyone we encountered was professional and friendly every step of the way. Our guests still rave about how delicious the passed appetizers and reception dinner were! We also highly recommend reserving a hotel block — our guests who stayed at the Kimpton Sawyer couldn't stop talking about how much they loved their accommodations.

  • The best planning decision!

    Before choosing the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, the venue for my wedding was one of the decisions I stressed out most about. I knew the location and look of my venue would really dictate how the day went, as well as how the rest of my budget would be impacted. Luckily, after many, many venue searches throughout Northern California, I found the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel. I was already familiar with Kimpton hotels after staying at a few for other trips, so I knew that I liked their aesthetic, in addition to how comfortable their rooms were. Thus, I was really impressed with how accommodating and flexible their wedding package was (perhaps because I booked during the height of the pandemic). The lobby, ballroom, and terrace made for a great ceremony, cocktail, and reception location. Finally, being located right in the heart of downtown Sacramento meant that lodging and transportation options were abundant for our guests, who came from all over the world. I would highly recommend anyone getting married look into reserving the Kimpton for their wedding! One of the best decisions I made.
