About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Located in the heart of Pioneer Square in Seattle Washington, THE 101 is an industrial-chic, blank-canvas venue full of possibilities. Pioneer Square, also known as Seattle's "first neighborhood," encompasses delicious eateries, shops, and events that attract thousands of guests each day.

THE 101 is perfect for all of your wedding needs – from ceremonies and receptions, to engagement parties, wedding showers, and rehearsal dinners.

Facilities and Capacity

THE 101 features a unique combination of red and white brick walls, ample natural light and expansive ceilings, creating a stunning ambiance that needs very little, if any, decor. However, we’ve seen clients take this flexibility and create some of the most stunning events.

You can set up seating for your ceremony in front of the generous windows, bathing the room in natural light. You can exchange your vows against a backdrop of the gorgeous street view.

Following this, the room can be flipped to accommodate a reception of up to 200 guests seated banquet-style and many more for a cocktail-style reception.

Located in Pioneer Square, the surrounding 19th-century architecture brings old Seattle charm right to the doorstep of your wedding. For out-of-town guests aiming to enjoy some Seattle culture before or after the event, Pike’s Place Market, Pier 51, and the popular Elysian Brewing Company are all located nearby. Many accommodation options are located nearby as well.

For guest convenience, three parking structures are available in close proximity to the event space, in addition to available street parking, with streetcar and rideshare services readily available.

Services Offered

THE 101 welcomes you to choose your own vendors and can provide you with a list of recommended partners. THE 101 offers 24 hour rentals so that you can have the venue from 10am on the day of your event to 10am the following day, allowing you plenty of time to set-up and party.

Couples can also choose from a range of decor and services to elevate their celebration – from a photo booth, draping, a ceremony arch and more.

Included with the space rental are tables and chairs for 200 of your favorite people, cocktail tables, a statement making bar. And THE 101 is pet-friendly so your favorite fur friend can be part of the celebration as well.

The team at THE 101 understands how much work goes into a wedding and will strive to create a seamless experience in the lead-up to your big day. You will be provided with a concierge to answer all of your questions about the venue. THE 101 also offers a range of planning packages, from month-of coordination to full service, to help ease the planning process.

SaeternItUp wedding come true!

Due to COVID. We did not just postpone our wedding once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!

THE 101 was so amazing about adjusting their schedule towards our needs. We were so impressed from the beginning. The communication was impeccable, the response time was quick!

The venue is an open canvas. So that allowed my husband & I to be creative in so many ways. From our floral to our decor. But of course, we wanted it to be minimal because the venue itself was already gorgeous! Red brick wall, white brick wall & our favorite GLASS WINDOWS!!!

THE 101 team has so many great people. Everyone on the team was very thoughtful & kind. I don't think I would've wanted my wedding anywhere else than THE 101!!!

My dream wedding!!

My husband and I found The 101 at a very stressful time where we found ourselves needing to change our wedding venue 7 months out from our wedding. The 101 was quick to respond and got us in for a tour asap with all the information we needed to make our venue switch. We loved how easy it was to customize the space for our ceremony and reception. The space itself is beautiful and didn’t require a lot of extra decor (in my opinion), but even if you wanted to go all out with decor and rentals, there was truly so much you could do with the facility! We made the best decision ever hiring the event coordinator Alison, to assist with month of coordinating. She is professional, organized, sweet, and helps you think of everything you may need for your event to run smoothly! She took so much stress off of me and allowed me to enjoy my wedding. Highly recommend The 101 for your ceremony and reception!

Amazing experience!

Ally (our wedding planner through the 101) and the 101 team were absolutely wonderful in helping us plan our celebration and the venue was perfect. They truly made us feel like we were their only clients. The venue has so much character, yet it's so customizable depending on how you want it set up. I can't recommend Ally enough - she was SO on top of everything for us so we didn't have to stress at all. I don't know how they do it so gracefully (I would be stressed out of my mind with so many events going on) - the service really is above and beyond.
