Not your average venue

Our wedding at the Rainier Club was all we could have asked for and more! While planning our wedding we toured all of the usual wedding venues in Seattle but nothing came close to matching the timeless elegance and history that the Rainier Club has. We could not have been more pleased with the impeccable and extremely personalized service provided by the venue throughout the process. Chef Jim modified dishes to suit our taste and lead bartender Joseph was able to perfectly recreate a cocktail from one of our favorite bars. We had the whole club to ourselves so were able to enjoy the beauty and character of several different spaces throughout our event and felt completely at home. The Rainier Club is a landmark mansion and its museum-quality art, luxurious furnishings, and refined elegance provide an ambiance that a hotel or typical wedding venue simply cannot provide. Our wedding was a fairy tale in large part to the Rainier Club. If you are trying to decide between the Rainier Club and anywhere else just remember that the Rainier Club has a fireplace large enough to fit an SUV!

Elegance and convenience all in one

Beautiful historic venue in Seattle. The organizers were flexible with our needs, the food was delicious, and the day-of service was impeccable. It's on the higher end in terms of venue cost, but it was completely worth it. You get the elegance of a venue outside of Seattle but with all the conveniences that come with a wedding hosted right in the downtown area

Kristan and her team at the Rainier Club were informed of our need for an alternate venue when we were hit with an emergency venue cancelation less than 48 hours before the wedding. Within 12 hours they made everything come together seamlessly, and went above and beyond to bring it all forth. What could have been a perfect nightmare truly was turned into a dream wedding instead. They not only saved us, but created an experience that far far far exceeded the original plan. My wife said every detail felt like a beautiful surprise, and in an over the top way, just the way she likes it. The Rainer Club was elegant, and I could not have wished for a better wedding. Dreams do come true here and Kristan and her team routinely make that happen.

We had our wedding reception at The Rainier Club and I could not have imagined a better place to have it. The entire staff was extremely helpful, thoughtful, thorough and efficient. Tim was very organized and helped the entire day to go as planned. From the food and drinks provided while getting ready to getting us out the door on time to the ceremony, everything was planned to the minute. I didn't have to worry about a thing. When we came back for cocktail hour and the reception, everything went off without a hitch. My husband and I were catered to all night. Someone was always carefully but not intrusively watching us to make sure we had a drink, or water, or food. We were able to relax and enjoy the reception. The food was delicious and they made the menu exactly as we wanted. We had two specialty cocktails named for us, champagne waiting for us when we arrived back from pictures, and food brought to us as we mingled. I could not recommend a more professional or organized staff to work with. Still, a year and a half later our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the reception was. We have wonderful memories from that day and wish we could relive it! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect.

Our wedding day at the Rainier Club was perfect. The historic building and it's many rooms are beautiful. The food was great. Their event coordinator was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. The club's attention to detail in all aspects of the event, not just some of them, was remarkable. Everyone on the staff, not just the managers, was clearly trying to do an excellent job and make sure that everything went well. It was easy for us to relax and enjoy knowing that they truly had everything covered.

Our family and friends enjoyed our wedding just as much as we did. We still get compliments from everyone on our wonderful everything was that day. Just hire a wedding coordinator and get some good music, The Rainier Club will take care of the rest.

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Rainier Club, a classic Seattle venue. It was incredibly special to have this whole building to ourselves on our special day, starting with hair and makeup in the late morning, and wrapping up by spending the night in one of the Rainier Club suites. We enjoyed working with our very patient and professional Rainier Club event planner over the course of about six months to ensure that every detail of our big day was just right. All that planning paid off: execution was flawless! The food was delicious, the A/V worked great for toasts and music, the wine and cocktails were flowing, and the guests moved from room to room according to schedule (more or less). :) Our wedding photos are especially gorgeous, with the Rainier Club setting as our backdrop.

I highly recommend this venue. We will cherish our memories there forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
