Wonderful Experience with the Ruins
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
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!
