A perfect wedding location - affords unique views that no other venue in Seattle can offer your guests that they will enjoy from the moment they arrive through the night (sunset and after as the lights of the city come up). Then we had dinner and dancing in a massive white tent which is a classic backdrop for any color scheme. The Newcastle staff is exceptional starting with the very responsive Catering Sales Mgr Tracy Box - and includes the very flexible setup crew that had to jump into action when we had last minute changes the day of the wedding to our tables (including the head table) due to sudden illnesses. Another recommendation for a day-of coordinator is Halie Prather who is perfect for the job - she is cool, calm and collected no matter what is happening. She is very willing to take charge of any and all details that you need help with (she ended up running our rehearsal as our officiant could not attend) and is so responsive to all questions (and I mean immediately gets back to you, which is necessary to keep the ball rolling). Our florist was the best I have ever seen for wedding flowers: Anna Brandt (owns Distinctive Designs Florist out of Kirkland) produced the most beautiful centerpieces, bouquets and even left us general extra greenery (for free) for all the other tables (cake etc) which our day-of coordinator spread around. Anna Brandt proved how much she listened to what the bride wanted (she also counseled us on what floral was in season and what would look nicest for our situation as she has years of experience which is crucial in a wedding florist plus she has accumulated a lot of vases, candleholders, etc.). The cake was ordered through Cakes by Creme de la Creme in Renton who I would highly recommend (look at their tons of intricate decoration choices which is on-line - your mind will be blown). Back to the venue: Newcastle has lots of parking (which you may not think is a deal, but it is) and has a beautifully gracious stunning building that gives a kind of European feel to your once in a lifetime event. Lots of photo opportunities out on the green rolling hills with the city in the background which will give you completely UNIQUE photo settings for the bride and groom - unmatched in the Seattle area. See it before you pick your venue - and be prepared for a WOW moment!

From start to finish, Carl and I had an incredible experience working with the Newcastle team. Their venue includes everything you need to plan an incredible wedding, including catering, linens, dance floors, tables, chairs, getting ready spaces and of course a view that is unmatched, especially at golden hour. You have a wedding adviser to help you through every step of the planning process and their whole team was exceptional. Alicia, who we first worked with was incredible and when she left, we had such an easy transition with Morgan. Morgan went above and beyond for us. We did not have a day of coordinator so she kindly stepped it to help us time the ceremony and it could not have been more perfect. Valerie and Vonnie who were the banquet captains also were spectacular in helping our event stay on time and run smoothly.

The ladies felt so pampered up in the bridal suite and I could not have been more relaxed, especially given the stress leading up to the day. All of my worries fell away.

The staff got everything set up in a timely manner and they were accommodating to all of our random requests throughout the day. I could not have asked for a better experience! We will never forget our best day ever there.

Absolutely perfect location to get married, the tent spaciously held our large group of >200 during the ceremony, plus soft seating of 5 couches, 3 side tables, and about 6 large round tables for people to sit at during the reception plus a 24x24' dance floor. All of our guests were blown away with the beautiful sunset view of downtown Seattle, plus the bagpiper. Everyone raved about how delicious the stuff chicken tasted and how perfectly cooked the salmon was. Alicia McDonald who is the event coordinator was so helpful throughout the process and made sure we had everything we needed days prior to, as well as the day of the wedding. I couldn't be more happy with my experience there and would recommend this venue to anyone!
