A stress free, beautiful day, no regret kind of wedding.

This is truly a magical little spot in the heart of Seattle. My husband and I knew right when we walked in the door we wanted to have our wedding party there. If you're looking for something that your guests will keep gawking at, look no further. There are a million things to say about the visuals of this place, but you can just look at the photos and understand what I'm getting at. The other reason this place is special is the people behind the scenes. I was nervous planning a wedding would mean stress city, but Madeline and her crew of enthusiastic workers made everything easy. They were always on top of replaying to me, willing to work with my budget, and excited to make my day special. They will even go as far as to make sure I ate at my event. I don't regret one thing about my wedding.

Above & beyond my wildest dreams

The Ruins by Landmark Event Co. was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was direct, comprehensive, and always timely, which we greatly appreciated. The venue itself was truly unique - a captivating blend of eclectic, baroque-inspired design elements that created a beautiful, interesting atmosphere. The team went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, from setting up our dessert ceremony without being prompted, to making last-minute changes to the table runners. We were thrilled with the exceptional service and quality of work from Landmark Event Co., and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.

Magical Wedding of our Dreams

The Ruins was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was fast, helpful and thorough, which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and overall value was whimsical, beautiful and incredibly convenient. We loved the fact that the Ruins is an all-in-one experience with the venue, food and drinks all included. The event staff were incredible before, during and after our event, and we had so many guests come up to us both during and after the wedding gushing about how beautiful the space was and how delicious the food is - especially the braised beef with chimichurri sauce. I would highly recommend this magical venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience. Kate was such an amazing and knowledgeable event staff member that helped us plan the wedding of our dreams!

Vibey Wedding Venue

We were obsessed with The Ruins from the first tour we had. The space was perfect for our wedding and the vibe that we wanted. We hired an outside planner but the venue coordinator we worked with was super helpful and made the drinks and food portion of the day run smoothly. Food & drinks were great - we did tastings beforehand to see what we personally liked. The venue was super flexible with what we needed and willing to work with us to figure out any special requests and accommodations. Would recommend this venue to anyone!

The experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this venue

We loved working with Madeline, the event coordinator at The Ruins. She guided us the entire time. She was there to answer our questions always promptly and even helped with some special requests. Everyone from the day of staff, band, florist and caterer was fantastic and easy to work with. Madeline helped with the scheduling of events so that everything ran smoothly. I was worry free on the day of the wedding. She even followed up afterwards. I would highly recommend this venue and would definitely recommend Madeline.

One of a kind, magical venue!

Being in the industry for almost a decade, I have seen and planned many different kinds of weddings, so I knew EXACTLY what I wanted for our big day. When we started planning our wedding, one of the ‘must-have’ items on my list for the venue was to have chandeliers. We reached out to a few venues and got quotes, toured a couple spots but none of them really spoke to us. The Ruins was the last one on our list to see and I had high hopes because of the venue photos I saw online (and the most iconic set of chandeliers they have). When we met with Madeline Wogstad for our initial tour, we connected right off the bat, the venue looked even better in person than the photos, so we were stocked to lock in the date with them! Madeline was super responsive (even on her days off), very accommodating and flexible with our specific requests, and just very sweet all the way through. The most important part for me was the atmosphere that was created for our wedding; it was MAGICAL! So special. We are very pleased to have had our wedding at The Ruins! (There are so many amazing options for magnificent photos!)

Wonderful Experience with the Ruins

I would recommend the Ruins and specifically, venue manager Madeline, to all brides.

We had a wonderful experience working with Madeline over 5-6 months planning our wedding. Not only is Madeline a truly wonderful person, but she was also patient, calm, a great communicator, offered expert advice and was a huge support to us. She had our best interests in mind and was really accommodating and understanding when COVID disrupted our plans and decisions.

The venue itself is stunning, quirky, and so unique. We loved that there are 3 different rooms to utilize and create surprise and delight for guests when you transition from ceremony, cocktail hour, and the reception. There is nowhere else in Seattle that can even compare to the vibe of the space. Bonus – you won’t need much décor in this space because of all the character already in it!

As Madeline was out of the state on our wedding day (sad!), we had Sarah as our day-of venue manager, and she did a great job. All the staff, especially the bartenders, on the wedding day were attentive and fantastic. Our guests were totally blown away by this venue they had no idea existed.

The only iffy experience we had was during our paid two tastings where we weren’t super impressed with the food. To our surprise, the food on the wedding night was much better and only got a couple comments on the flank steak being chewy.

Looking back on the wedding day, I am so glad we chose that venue and that we got to work with Madeline during it. Book it!

Amazing Wedding Venue and Staff

My husband and I had our wedding at The Ruins. It was absolutely stunning and a magical day that we will remember forever!

Everyone we worked with was incredible throughout the planning process, which was also complicated by the pandemic. The venue has their own events manager, catering, floral, and bakery partner. It was wonderfully easy to design and coordinate all of these features. They also have other partners for entertainment and such.

The venue is beautifully eclectic. We were attracted to the unique space and stayed because of the delicious food and easy to work with staff. We had an incredible wedding planning experience and an even better day. We highly recommend The Ruins!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
