COVID-19 Wedding Cancellation - So Thankful for the Kimpton Alexis!

My fiancé and I had a wedding scheduled at the Kimpton Alexis Hotel for April 25, 2020. Unfortunately, we had to make the tough decision to cancel the wedding due to the current COVID-19 scare. The whole team at the Alexis has been nothing but great, before, during and after this decision.

Angie Casper was our main point of contact during the planning process – she’s been such a joy to work with. We’ve done multiple walk throughs of the venue with Angie, she responds to all correspondence quickly and worked hard to make every vision we had come to life. Angie was able to provide vendor recommendations for anything we needed outside of the venue. If this wedding were to move forward as planned, I 100% believe Angie would have pulled it off without a hitch.

Overall, we are SO thankful we chose the Kimpton Alexis as our venue. I’ve been reading nightmare stories of brides canceling/rescheduling their weddings for the same reason as mine, and their experience has been less than ideal. Even with contract restrictions, the Kimpton has gone above and beyond to make sure WE felt taken care of. No one planned for this. If we decide to attempt a wedding again, after the dust settles, we will ABSOLUTELY come back to the Kimpton Alexis Hotel.

We got married in February and recommended our guests stay at the Alexis. What a great weekend it was! The staff was amazing and we absolutely loved the rooms. Central to downtown, and each room was bright and beautiful. This was our landing pad for our bridal party to get ready, and we loved every moment of the experience. A wonderful hotel and great team to help make any occasion special.

The atmosphere at the Kimpton Alexis Hotel is one of impeccable customer service. Angie, their Events Coordinator, is amazing. She kept our entire event on schedule. She was also a dream to work with. Chef Aaron was amazing and customized a PERFECT menu for our guests. We had family from the East Coast fly in for the wedding and everyone stayed at The Alexis. Their room rates were affordable, while allowing guests to be in the heart of the city. And the guest rooms, as well as the suites are beautiful! We had the a perfect wedding, reception, and overall weekend all because of the staff at the Alexis.

This venue was fantastic! The venue coordinator Angie was absolutely amazing! She was very quick to respond to emails and available for phone calls whenever we needed as our wedding was a destination wedding. The food was absolutely amazing and it was great that we could costumize our menu to our tastes and didn't just select from a pre-made list. Also our guests raved about staying at the hotel and the room blocks were easy to set up and Zoe was very easy to work with to arrange that. Also free wine hour in the hotel for guests of the hotel which worked great with our rehersal :)

In working wish Lori at the Alexis, we realized this was the place for us to spend our special day. We chose it as our venue for both the wedding and reception and could not have been more pleased with the service and flexibility for both events. Another perk of having it there was so all of our out of town guests could stay in the same location. The reservation staff, Avery O'Brien in particular, was amazing in helping us set up our block of rooms and taking care of our guests during their stay.

Overall, we were beyond pleased with our experience and can't wait to spend other events there!

We were VERY pleased with the Alexis and Lori, who we worked with there. The hotel is beautiful and they provided everything we needed for a great wedding. I wanted one venue for all the events of the day, from getting ready, to a wedding tea ceremony, to our regular western ceremony and the reception, and they really have a beautiful venue for making this all come together.

Our liaison at the Alexis was Angie Casper, whose professionalism, expertise, and experience we called upon repeatedly by waiting so late to begin our wedding planning. Angie made herself so available to us-- whether by email, phone, or on-site, and so many of our vendors had nothing but compliments to pay to the Alexis-- that we knew we were in good hands there.

The Alexis offers several different profiles for where-- within the space-- you may want to host this or that event, and you cannot ask for a more welcoming and vibrant location on the downtown Seattle waterfront for your out-of-town guests. Although ours was a wedding of modest size, I know from bids we obtained elsewhere that the Alexis was an extremely fair price-- and by the time you include the intangibles (valets, attention to detail with our favors, our music, our special requests, an outta-this-world bridal suite), you will not be disappointed.

I think it absolutely suited us, and the professionalism, flexibility, and quality of service we received in return were exactly what we needed in that final month!

I cannot say enough fantastic things about having my wedding at the Alexis Hotel. Angie Casper was phenomenal to work with. She always got back to me very quickly, even when my emails contained a million questions. She accommodated numerous meetings with me and my family.

Most importantly, they made everything happen for my wedding. I didn't have to worry about anything, nor did I have to find an outside vendor to coordinate everything. Angie was on top of it all! And her set up of my decor was phenomenal! People ask me what went wrong at my wedding, and I can honestly say "nothing!" Angie and her team took care of everything - even decorating things that I didn't think of. It was incredible!

The food at the Alexis is also amazing.

For the price, the value, and the experience I believe that you will not find a better value or venue in Seattle than the Alexis Hotel. (We looked!) If you are hosting a wedding for 100 people or so, this is *the* venue in Seattle! (And your guests will absolutely love their rooms!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
