About

The Hall at Fauntleroy is an elegant events space housed in a picturesque 1900s-era former schoolhouse in West Seattle. Close to downtown Seattle, yet nestled a world away in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, The Hall at Fauntleroy offers two large and unique indoor spaces, lovely outdoor space, an on-site catering kitchen, and more.

Facilities & Capacity:

THE EMERALD ROOM: CLASSICALLY CLASSY
Soaring ceilings. The warmth and texture of exposed brick. And the beauty of soft light from large windows that look onto a wooded ravine. The Emerald Room has all of this, plus a large raised dance floor, an anteroom for the bride or other special guests, and more. It’s a space for up to 250 guests that feels intimate and expansive all at once.

THE VASHON ROOM & GARDEN: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR
The Vashon Room is one of Seattle’s few indoor/outdoor event spaces. With its high ceilings, simple, contemporary details and abundant natural light, the Vashon Room is the perfect canvas for your creative vision. Just outside is the Garden Courtyard, a lush, landscaped setting with a manicured lawn, mature plantings and a winding path—an enticing oasis for an outdoor ceremony or reception. Vashon Room event holders also enjoy access to The Studio, a cool, inviting hideaway where your guests can take a break from the main event to chat, play billiards, and sip a cocktail. The Vashon Room accommodates parties of 80 to 170.

Best team ever!

From the first time I reached out to T&T catering to the amazing salmon dinner, the T&T team was absolutely amazing. My first interactions were with Kimball and Sara, whom I hold dearly in my heart. They graciously walked my now husband and I through the planning process of having our special day at the Hall at Fauntleroy.

On the big day, the T&T team stepped up even more than I could ever expect. 1) Rain was in the forecast and we planned to have our ceremony in the garden. The T&T team set up the upstairs room for our ceremony in case we changed our minds last minute, which we eventually did. That was such an amazing surprise! 2) A crow flew into our reception room before the ceremony (I had no idea - great job T&T + my wedding party!). Due to the food safety hazard, the T&T team once again went above and beyond and moved our entire reception set up (tables, chairs, decor, cakes, etc.) to the upstairs room. It was mesmerizing to watch while we finished our family photos inside. Lastly, but certainly not least, the team lead an incredible dinner service (family style). They made sure that all special meals when to the correct guests, wine glasses were always full, and even cracked some jokes with our friends at the “Jesse table”.

I HIGHLY recommend working with the T&T team for your wedding or any event. I cannot wait to work with them again one day in the future. Thank you for everything!

Our wedding with The Hall at Fauntleroy was perfect!

We found The Hall at Fauntleroy the week of our engagement while walking our pups in our West Seattle Neighborhood- we felt how special it was, and loved imagining the possibility of our wedding taking place just walking distance from our house.

Immediately The Hall at Fauntleroy Team was responsive, thorough all while being festive and helping us feel celebratory. We loved the Event Proposal process, where The Hall of Fauntleroy Team drafted different versions of what our wedding and reception might include at a myriad of price points, everything was customizable to meet our vision of what was important and where we wanted to devote resources. Our dedicated coordinators were attuned to our energy and consistently made us feel seen - even when we were being two neurotic brides (virgo/capricorn duo). The team also had excellent recommendations for other vendors we might want to work with - but was equally warm and welcoming to vendors new to their team.

We had so much fun at different planning events put on by the team including our tasting, an open house with featured vendors and our individual planning sessions. We also ate and drank so much! The full food and drink program was dialed in, thoughtful, seasonal dishes with local touches were exactly our vibe, We still dream about the lemonade!

We understand our bias, but truly it was the best wedding we have ever been to and it’s what we continued to hear from a lot of our guests. Flow was effortless, staff were professional and FUN, we ate and drank so many delightful things. The setting felt cozy and unique, while maintaining quintessential Seattle energy. With one of us having a career as an event planner, the technical details were something that were very important to us, and it was perfect. Our day was both chic and comfortable - which is no easy task, but precisely what we requested.

Coordinating a wedding as a queer couple can feel extra daunting, the wedding industry is often geared to a very specific vision of what a wedding should look like- The Hall at Fauntleroy team seamlessly integrated our narrative into our vision of our perfect wedding. Thank you for our perfect day.

Outstanding venue and staff

The staff at DSquared, the company that manages The Hall at Fauntleroy, were great to work with through our pandemic-impacted celebration. They were flexible and creative as we navigated a year delay, a venue change, and a shift in format resulting in an event where our guests felt safe, had an incredible time, and we felt celebrated. The catering (provided through the venue) was fabulous, the venue was perfect, and the staff service was top notch. We were ready to party and celebrate our marriage after a difficult year and The Hall and Fauntleroy really delivered!

Great Experience!

I absolutely loved working with Kimball! We had major bumps in our planning due to Covid, but she offered us great back up plans and ideas along the way. This venue was absolutely gorgeous and was an amazing space for us to hold a safe, socially distanced ceremony and mini reception in.

Beautiful venue for our wedding with plenty of space!

We rented out the whole facility at the Hall for our wedding last November. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour in the Vashon Room downstairs and our dinner and reception in the Emerald Room. We used the billiard room (a part of the Vashon Room) as our staging area before the ceremony and it was an awesome hangout spot during the reception. We also used the bridal suite (part of the Emerald Room) to have a private moment after the ceremony and as a place to take a breath during all the dancing. We used the stage in the Emerald Room as our dance floor; everyone was seated on the main floor and was able to see all the special dances. We thought the ceremony looked beautiful in the Vashon room. The cozy brick in the Emerald room made our reception feel very intimate even though we had 125 people in attendance. Space wasn’t a problem, they were able to accommodate the layout we wanted without any issues.
Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes is the exclusive caterer and wait staff for the venue. Something that really sold us on this venue was having the catering already figured out but the ability to choose and bring our wine/beer and desserts. The Hall was extremely professional throughout the planning process. The staff was responsive throughout the planning process and day of the wedding, everything flowed well. We liked that the Hall was upfront with us on things we couldn’t do, but if it wasn’t on that list (cigar bar) they made it happen.
All in all, we couldn’t have picked a better venue for our ceremony and reception for our wedding. It was everything we hoped for and more.

An unconventional vision, realized!

When it came time to start planning our big day, my husband and I wanted to get as far from traditional as possible. When we first visited The Hall at Fauntleroy, we knew that was our venue - the outdoor setting was perfect for what we wanted. But when it came time to discuss the details, we got nervous. We threw Kimball and her team at The Hall quite a few curve balls: totchos and sliders, lawn games, trivia, an ice cream truck delivery... but they caught them all, and even offered some additional suggestions to make our party better. Plus, the level of enthusiasm and excitement that everyone we worked with got us even more excited for our big day! From the first meeting at the venue to last call, the entire experience was amazing. We were in such great hands!

The team at the Hall at Fauntleroy were unbelievable to work with - they were extremely thoughtful, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. They routinely went above and beyond to help create the best experience possible, and we cannot thank them enough for helping to make our wedding day go without a hitch. Special shout outs to Emily and Tony, who were absolutely amazing! We highly recommend them for any event!
