It was a perfect day!!

The event planning team made our small post-elopement lunch reception super easy to set up. The room was beautiful with a spectacular view of the water and mountains from the patio, the food was delicious, and the serving staff were wonderful. The valet service made parking easy for everyone, which is not always the case right in the city. It's also a perfect downtown waterfront location for any guests who want to book a hotel room.

Picture Perfect

The Edgewater's Olympic Ballroom was such a romantic and enchanting place to host our wedding reception. Dancing while watching the Seattle summer sunset behind the Olympic Mountains over Elliott Bay was a magical experience and one of our core memories from the entire night!! Nikita, Karly, and the Edgewater staff were an absolute pleasure to work with and helped accommodate all of our guests' dietary restrictions and last minute requests.

Beautiful venue, great food, wonderful event staff

I can't say enough good things about the Edgewater for a wedding. When we did a walk through of the space initially - I wasn't so sure as it had a pretty traditional hotel ballroom feel (with an insane view). But on the night of - the chandeliers, the lighting, the views -- it was truly spectacular. We even saw orcas! The food was fantastic (so many compliments from guests!) and the staff working the event was even better (so attentive, helpful, and kind). The day was perfect, The Edgewater event coordinator was very helpful, and we were so thrilled with how everything turned out.

Only negative was the front desk staff, who weren't associated with the wedding. They tried to charge us twice for our room, gave some people trouble with gift bags, and they were pretty rude when we called for a late checkout. The only downside to an otherwise perfect venue.

Exceptional Experience!

The Edgewater was accommodating at every turn, and their friendly and extremely professional staff was second to none. Food was delicious, and the room could not have been more perfect for our needs. We feel so fortunate that they had the perfect size room, with the limited planning time we had, for our event. Even if we had more time, we really don't think it could have gone better!

Perfect Day!

From start to finish the day was perfect! We had a super fun cocktail hour and ceremony outside with city views, then a beautiful reception inside with amazing views of the Sound and the Olympics. The Golden Hour glow made dinner and speeches magical! The food and staff were great! They were very flexible with all our specific requests throughout the process as well. Would definitely recommend!!!

Amazing venue

Great venue, beautiful views of the sound rain or shine. Dog friendly hotel and venue in case you'd like to include your pup! All our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the food and venue. Kate, the coordinator, goes above and beyond you make sure the day goes smoothly and walks you through the planning process.

Great food! Great views!

The views, location, food, and staff all get 5/5. We wanted to serve something for our wedding that they did not have on their menu; they were flexible and custom-designed a beautiful buffet for us with the entree of our choice. Just an absolute pleasure working with this venue.

Wedding Reception for a Smaller Wedding

The staff was incredibly professional and helped the entire reception run smoothly. Our Edgewater contact, Kate, was very responsive and helpful the entire time leading up to and during the event. We received many compliments from our guests about the food and the beauty of the venue.

Beautiful Spring Wedding

The Edgewater Hotel was an excellent choice for our ceremony and reception. The staff and catering team were wonderful and we couldn't be happier with their service. The rooms are on the expensive side, but the venue rental and brunch were both an excellent value Highly recommend!

A Magical Venue and Superb Event Team

I am an officiant and recently had to arrive at the Edgewater several hours before the ceremony. Amanda ( Director of Events) and the Front Desk staff took such great care of me and provided space for me to rest and prepare for the ceremony. I also got to watch the team seamlessly set up for both the ceremony and the reception and serve the guests during cocktail hour. They were beyond fantastic. You will have a beautiful wedding at The Edgewater. The water view and ambience are magical. @officiantgrace www.gracemacleod.com/weddings
