A note of gratitude

Elizabeth and Joseph —
thank you.

This night wouldn't exist without the two of you. You didn't just open your doors to this book — you opened them to the story that was already living inside those walls. The fact that you said yes means more to me than I know how to say in a single paragraph on a webpage.

I have always believed that the best spaces in this industry are built by people who genuinely care — about their guests, about their craft, about what hospitality actually means when it's done right. Chariot is proof of that. Elizabeth and Joseph Croteau have created something rare: a space that is thoughtful, beautiful, and unmistakably theirs.

I am lucky to call them friends. I am honored to bring this book home to their house.

— Demetri

About the Space

Chariot is a 3,100 square-foot private event venue in the heart of downtown Sacramento — thoughtfully designed for the modern client with an uplifting, elegant, and inviting atmosphere. Multi-level and full of character, it offers distinct spaces to occupy, allowing room for movement and the curation of a vibe that fits your vision.

Situated two blocks from City Hall, the State Capitol, and Golden 1 Center, Chariot offers an on-site culinary team dedicated to curating dining experiences — cocktail hour, dinner, a full bar program, event staff, and all the details that turn a gathering into a night worth remembering.

Weddings. Corporate events. Rehearsal dinners. Fundraisers. Political mixers. Birthday celebrations. If you have a gathering that deserves a space that actually rises to meet it — this is the call you make.

Planning an event in Sacramento?

I recommend Chariot without hesitation — for events, for catering, for any occasion that deserves a space built by people who actually know what they're doing. Call them. You'll be glad you did.
