60 Years Later at Sequoia

My folks just celebrated their 60th anniversary and threw themselves a party! After researching the Sacramento area for just the right place, they settled on Sequoia, a restored Victorian house in Placerville, converted into a restaurant. But it’s so much more than a restaurant! (photo at left by Elite Designs)

It’s a favorite for weddings, with an elegant menu and a plethora of nooks and crannies that can serve as bride’s rooms or gathering spots for old friends.




Here’s a photo of the room my parents booked. Included was a hallway area where the appetizers and desserts were laid out in splendor. They were also given one of those nooks – a tiny room with couches and chairs for sitting and chatting. It was a truly lovely setting.

They were treated very well by Tawnia, the catering manager and ended up really happy with the party. A good time was had by all.

I recommend checking out the website – if nothing else for the ghost stories. Unfortunately, I didn’t spot an unearthly presence (darn it), but our waitress had a story or two to tell.
