Kelsey I(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-12-2019 My husband and I used the Renaissance room for our ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful! We held the reception across the hall in the Grand Ballroom. The entire process of planning our wedding with Jake's at the Sentinel was a breeze. Everyone there is so helpful. Our coordinator, Diane helped so much with the set up and offering recommendations. Our day of catering team was amazing and so helpful. There are so many perks that come with renting this venue, I highly recommend getting married here! Reviewed on 01-03-2020
Kevin Vo(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-11-2018 We just had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Sentinel Hotel and everything turned out perfectly. The hotel itself is beautiful with lots of unique and ornate rooms. This was nice because we felt that we didn’t have to bring in a lot of decorations since the building stood so well on its own.But what really made the whole wedding such a success was the fantastic staff at Jake’s Catering-We worked with Diane from our first visit to the Sentinel all the way through our wedding day. She was extremely helpful and answered all of my (many) questions quickly about venue costs, catering options, day of logistics and everything else that went into our Wedding planning. She made everything easy and is so friendly and professional! We really appreciate all of the work you put in for our event, thank you!The banquet staff was amazing! I was blown away by their professionalism and kindness. Russ and Vesna were our Banquet Captains for the wedding and they both magically appeared anytime something was needed. They brought us snacks and drinks while we were signing our marriage license. They made our plates and refreshed our drinks during dinner. We heard afterward that they even went out of there way to get a special dessert for one of our young guest who was allergic to nuts.But the whole banquet staff was awesome as well. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The bar staff was awesome and kept the drinks flowing. The wait staff was quick, friendly, and helpful the entire night. It was top notch service all around. OH! And they were so helpful with all of the day of delivery and day after pick up logistics! Thank you to the whole team who helped pull everything off without a hitch!And I haven’t even got to the food yet… the reception dinner turned out perfectly! Everything was delicious from our appetizers to our mains to our late night snacks. I wish we could order more of the braised beef short ribs, tortellini, and late night nachos for dinner tonight!

Nikki Diamond(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-05-2018 Everyone on the Jake's team was easy and fabulous to work with! The food was delicious and Governor ballroom is perfect for a big wedding. The Jake's team were thoughtful and patient with all of our questions and ideas for our wedding reception. ALL of the spaces that Jake's has at the Sentinel are beautiful and we ended up taking quite a few wedding photos here as well. Jake's and the Sentinel will always hold a special place for us!

Kate S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2019 We hosted our wedding reception at the Sentinel, and we couldn't have been happier with the venue and the team at Jake's. Kirsten was wonderful to work with—warm, patient, resourceful, organized, and insightful. We had our cocktail hour in the Renaissance Room and a dinner reception and dancing in the Grand Ballroom, with a total of about 200 guests. The food was excellent, the bartending solid, and the venue beautiful. We rented an ivory drape to cover the stage in the Grand Ballroom, chiavari chairs, and some gold accents—but no further rentals or external decorations were needed; the space is gorgeous as-is. If you're looking for a classic vibe and a venue that doesn't require lots of external rentals, consider the Sentinel! Reviewed on 23-05-2018
Lauren Hum(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-12-2017 Jake's catering at Sentinel was outstanding! We booked the library room for our ceremony and the grand ballroom for our reception. We were also given extra space in the fireside room for our traditional Chinese tea ceremony earlier in the day. One of the major reasons we picked the Sentinel is because the space is already so beautiful without extra decor, it was the perfect choice for us because on the wedding day, we were astounded by the beauty of the whole space. We also got to take so many \"creative photos\" around the nicely styled hotel as well. A huge bonus is the fact that the staff is outstanding. Working with our catering manager Kirsten was an absolute breeze, she was great with replying to emails quickly and modifying our menu and floorplan countless times over our long engagement as numbers fluctuated. She was easily one of my favorite vendors! In terms of the food, we had several comments about how delicious the meal and drinks were. We are so happy and grateful to the whole team at Jake's Catering. Thank you!! Reviewed on 16-01-2018
Rebecca Pyatkevich(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-12-2017 We picked Jake's Catering at the Sentinel because we couldn't get over how pretty the rooms were. There was a bit of a snafu in the beginning because they quoted us the wrong price for the rooms due to us needing to take down Christmas decorations for our non-Christian late-December wedding, but once we negotiated this part, everything was wonderful. The food was **delicious.** The rooms stunningly beautiful. They worked with me to set up a custom room block, and the guests raved about the hotel. They were open, responsive, sometimes even anticipating my questions and needs. Really great job, overall. Reviewed on 05-01-2018
Steven Schaefer(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2017 Amazing wedding experience at the Sentinel. Beautiful venue with lots of great options, and we were able to find the perfect space for us! Julie and Kirsten were great to work with and made everything so much easier for us with great suggestions and planning advice. The whole day was incredible ! I have to say, the food was the best wedding food My wife and I or any of our guests said they have ever had, and I felt the whole thing was such a great value for the money with everything they do for you. Their full service set up and take down of everything relieves so much pressure, and everything they do is top notch. I would highly recommend the Sentinel! Reviewed on 03-11-2017
Jessica Griesinger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-08-2017 Jakes did an amazing job hosting our wedding. They understood our vision for the day of and were in constant contact throughout the whole planning process. They have amazing staff and everything was perfect! we were very impressed with their professionalism and kindness. Julie and Kirsten were so wonderful to work with. They answered all my questions and eased my concerns. If I had to plan my wedding all over again I would go with The Sentinel every time! Reviewed on 20-09-2017
Huong Tran(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2016 We had our wedding at the Sentinel Hotel in the Renaissance room and our reception in the Grand Ballroom. Initially we wanted to have an outdoor wedding, but we were so impressed with the beauty and character of the hotel that we chose to have it at the Sentinel. We worked with Julie Weiss, the Social Sales Manager, and she was very helpful and accommodating to our wedding. We saved a lot of money on decorations because both rooms were already beautiful. The hotel staff was very courteous and professional. They even remembered our names and that we were there for our wedding. They made sure our room was clean and ready for after the wedding. We were given a bottle of champagne as a sign of congratulation. A high priority for us was the food. And Jake’s Catering delivered on that priority 100%. All of our guests were very impressed by the quality of the food. The catering and Sentinel staff were all very professional, polite, and accommodating. On our wedding, they made sure that the bride and groom were well fed, hydrated, always had a drink in hand. They were very good about saving and setting aside food and desserts for us before our guests ate all of it. We felt very taken care of, despite how hectic it must have been for them with all the guests we had. We would highly recommend going with the Sentinel hotel for a wedding. Reviewed on 11-08-2016
Tyler Weiss(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-02-2016 I don't know where to even begin with how wonderful our wedding was at this venue. Its beauty made my decor a simple process because it has so much beauty and elegance in itself! Really any additions only compliment what is already there. If you are looking for a grand setting for your ceremony or reception - whether you have a low-key feel or a high-end elegance theme, you will not regret using the Sentinel. The food was commented on with enthusiasm for days and the staff and events coordinator made the process smooth and the least stressful as possible. They are in contact often and always available for questions. I felt like it was a wedding fit for a princess! Thank you for such a memorable day in our lives! Reviewed on 07-04-2016
Stacey Karpouzes(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2015 We had our reception at the Sentinel hotel and catered through Jake's. The service and food was great! Everyone complimented us about the food the next day, even my Greek relatives said the Spanikopita appetizers tasted authentic! The one thing I would have liked to change was more choices offered during the tasting. A complimentary room for the bride and groom would have been nice too, other venues did offer that. We had great reviews from friends/family about the gorgeous setting and venue! They are very accomadating and make every detail personalized. Reviewed on 13-10-2015
Erika Dailey(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-06-2015 Very romantic setting, the food was great, and the employees were very friendly.

Jessica Gray(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-08-2014 We loved our stay at the Sentinel Hotel for our wedding (at Elysian Ballroom, just a few blocks away). The room was beautiful and comfortable, and the service was outstanding from the staff during our stay! I gave the service and value 4 stars because the online and telephone booking services were a little wonky and caused some problems for us and some of our guests and because the Sentinel is a fairly pricey hotel. Overall, however, my husband and I look forward to celebrating many anniversaries at the Sentinel! Reviewed on 02-11-2014
Neda Almubarak(bride)2 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-06-2013 Aside from a gorgeous ballroom, dealing with the Governor Hotel and Jake's Catering was a complete disaster on every possible front during the planning phase. Jake's is the furtherst away from accommodating on simple things like meetings and important things like the tasting- we came for a meeting and they had prepared some choices based on their preference. When we asked if we could try some alternatives, they said they were not available until we coincidentally saw the Chef who was actually quite helpful. With that said, the food and service on the wedding day was great.\rThe service at the Governor Hotel is also terrible- thankfully they were bought out and a makeover to their attitudes is underway.

Ali Sung(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2013 We are very happy with Jakes. Stephanie Hubbell was fantastic to work with, and when we had something unexpected come up following our wedding ceremony, the whole catering staff flawlessly readjusted the schedule. Reviewed on 04-07-2013

Kate Russo(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2012 We had our reception at the governor hotel and the events coordinator, Erin, was so helpful with the planning process. Being a historic hotel, the rooms have amazing details. We had our reception in the library room, which was gorgeous. The food was excellent, they did a wonderful job preparing and decorating the room. The night went off without a hitch. \rI will mention on the hotel side, we did have some issues with the room block, we had reserved almost all double queens but the rooms ended up being mostly kings. Also they did forget to deliver some of the welcome bags. Overall though, everything worked out and they made an effort to resolve the room issue. Reviewed on 17-08-2012

The hors d'oeuvres were really good but the main meals mostly the meats in the meals were not that good. especially compared to the restaurants food and what we at the tasting. but they were very nice and excellent service. In the end I still would have gone with them. I think i had high expectations more because of all their good reviews and the food at the tasting. Reviewed on 06-05-2012
