Birthday & Milestone Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, promotions and other milestones deserve more than an ordinary restaurant reservation. Host your celebration at Sedona and let us create an evening around the occasion.

Family Gatherings

Holiday Parties

Gather your team, family or friends for an evening featuring seasonal hospitality, creative cuisine, craft cocktails and fine wine in a warm, intimate setting.

Girls' Nights, Golf Groups & Friends

Not every private event needs a formal reason. Sometimes it's simply time to get everyone together.

Whether you're celebrating with longtime friends, bringing together a golf group or planning a special evening with your closest friends, Sedona can help make the gathering feel like an occasion.

Your Event. Your Evening.

The best private events don't feel like they're following a template. That's why we take the time to understand what you're planning.

We'll discuss your:

  • Event date

  • Number of guests

  • Type of celebration

  • Preferred timing

  • Food and beverage preferences

  • Dining style

  • Special requests

  • Overall vision for the evening

From there, our team can help determine the best way to create your Sedona experience.

Private Dining, Creative Cuisine & Craft Cocktails

Food is at the center of every Sedona event. Our menu features creative American cuisine alongside many of the dishes our guests have enjoyed at Sedona over the years.

Depending on the event, menus can be designed around courses, shared selections, passed appetizers or other formats appropriate for your gathering.

Our kitchen prepares many of Sedona's signature dishes, including Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Garlic Peppercorn-crusted Filet Mignon, Pan Seared Duck Breast and Fresh Catch selections. Our house-made desserts provide a natural finish to the evening.

And then there's the bar.

Sedona is known for its craft cocktails, including our all natural fresh-squeezed Orange Crushes, Three types of Cosmos and Three types of margaritas and other signature cocktails. Fine wine and carefully selected spirits can also become part of your event experience.

Food and beverage selections can be discussed when planning your event.

Private Events With a Cozy Bar

One of the things that makes Sedona different is that your event doesn't have to feel overly formal.

Our cozy bar creates a natural place to begin the evening with cocktails and conversation before dinner.

For certain events, guests can enjoy cocktails and conversation before moving into the dining room for dinner. The combination creates a natural progression to the evening without requiring you to leave the restaurant or change locations.

It's a particularly nice option for celebrations where you want the evening to feel relaxed, social and special.

A Private Event Venue in the Heart of Bethany Beach

Location matters when you're bringing people together.

Sedona is located at 26 North Pennsylvania Avenue in Bethany Beach, Delaware, just a short walk from the beach and boardwalk. That makes Sedona a convenient option for guests staying in Bethany Beach, as well as those traveling from surrounding Sussex County communities and the Delaware and Maryland beach areas.

For guests already spending a weekend at the beach, a private dinner at Sedona can become part of the entire experience.

For local businesses and residents, it provides a distinctive setting without having to travel far.

Private Events During Bethany Beach's Off-Season

Sedona's private-event program is particularly well suited to the quieter months of the year November - February. While Sedona's regular restaurant season takes a break, the restaurant can become a private setting for carefully planned gatherings.

That creates an opportunity for:

  • Company holiday parties

  • Corporate dinners

  • End-of-year celebrations

  • Rehearsal dinners

  • Family gatherings

  • Birthday celebrations

  • Anniversary dinners

  • Retirement celebrations

  • Client entertaining

  • Small group dinners

  • Special events

If you're planning an event during the off-season, we recommend reaching out early so we can discuss your date, guest count and requirements.

More Than a Private Room

There's an important distinction between renting a room and hosting an event. A room gives you a place to gather. An experienced hospitality team helps create the evening.

At Sedona, we're focused on the details that influence how your guests experience the event—from the welcome at the beginning of the evening to the food arriving at the table and the final glass of wine.

Our goal is simple:

Your guests should feel taken care of.
