    The team at The Grand Sofia is a pleasure to work with. Their communication is fast, friendly, and detailed, which puts couples at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself is elegant and welcoming - creating a truly memorable experience for both vendors and guests. Sarah and Shelby go above and beyond, making us feel like royalty from the warm welcome to the personalized tour and consultations where they take the time to understand each couple's unique vision and needs. This attention to detail and customer service is unparalleled and truly sets them apart from other venues.
