The perfect venue!

The Metropolist was the perfect venue for our wedding due to its stand alone beauty and flexibility regarding vendors. Andi was very helpful from the beginning of the process. From taking the tours , to answering questions she was always willing to answer quickly and friendly despite her busy schedule. Parking in Seattle was a big concern for many of our guests when we said we were getting married in Seattle , but no one had issues finding parking on the street. The included security guard that comes with the venue was appreciated due to the location or the venue and it made us feel much more safe knowing someone was watching the front door. I am so happy we chose the Metropolist for our wedding!

Awesome venue space!

This was an amazing venue! Andi was great to work with, responsive to emails, and very kind & relateable. She was super helpful to answer my many questions and point me in the right direction/give me inspiration from what’s been done in that space before! The space itself is beautiful and the tables & chairs that Metropolist provide are beautiful. The lighting is a beautiful touch and we loved this space for our ceremony & reception. There is a nice space upstairs for the bridal party to relax and their kitchen area is simple and great to serve drinks from. Our caterer was Veraci Pizza and was able to cook the pizza outside and bring the food in for buffet style serving. Would highly recommend this venue with how much you’re able to do in it!

We just had our wedding at Metropolist in SoDo, and we could not have been happier with the outcome! Andi, the Event Director, was fabulous to work with and made my life so much easier during the wedding planning process. She provided a number of recommendations based on what she's seen done and what has been popular in the past. I ended up booking a number of her vendor recommendations because they were so familiar with the space, which made our day go so smoothly, and I couldn't be more thankful for her guidance!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and has so much character to it, and our guests loved it as much as we did. Metropolist also has gorgeous wood tables and chairs that were included in the reservation. With this, we just had to rent a few additional tables/chairs to accommodate our guest count, but having the bulk of the tables/chairs already at the venue allowed us to keep our rental cost down.

All in all, we had the best experience with Andi and Metropolist, and could not recommend them more!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
