We love The Transept!!

Booking The Transept was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. The venue is gorgeous, but what made it even better was working with Corey + Sayre. They were incredibly responsive, very professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect day. We had a great experience at EVERY touchpoint including booking, planning, design meeting, the tasting, the final details meeting, and even payments (they made it so easy!) At the wedding, we had fantastic, white-glove service all day and night. And the catering was truly SO GOOD! (I know everyone says that, but I mean it!) We would choose them a thousand times over!

Perfect day!

The most beautiful venue and most amazing staff. From the flexibility to the kindness, could not reccomend this space enough! From the staff, to the food, to the venue space itself, just wonderful. If you’re on the fence, just go for it and you won’t regret it!

The best venue, staff, and food

The staff, food, and venue at the Transept were both the best we could have imagined. The venue speaks for itself - beautiful space - wonderful areas for bride and groom to both get ready separately (bride's especially in the clock tower), but the staff really stood out. Planning was made easy - they had all details covered, and really helped de-stress the whole thing. Day of, they were extremely attentive, professional, and caring/personal. Couldn't have asked for better, truly. Thank you all again!
