Wedding Testimonials

"We are so happy we chose the Sonesta for this special day!"

Our daughter had her wedding reception at the Sonesta and it was AMAZING!! Theresa was fabulous, the food was the best we’ve had at a wedding, and the staff were smiling and helpful. Our guests commented it was the best reception they had ever been to.
