Wedding Venues in Bellevue

We had our small (approx. 40 guests) wedding (ceremony & dinner reception) at Robinswood House in mid September and we loved it! It was still the perfect setting for our event. Robinswood House is a hidden gem in the Greater Seattle Area! It’s right off of I90 so it was super convenient for us and our guests. The grounds are well kept and the gardens provided a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding. We didn’t need a lot of decor as the natural beauty of the place stood on its own. The house itself is well-appointed with everything needed for caterer setup and for the wedding parties to get ready. Joanna and Mike were great partners in bringing our event to life! For the ceremony, we wanted a pretty specific setup and Mike made it happen! He was meticulous with all the measuring, testing out layouts, and making adjustments to ensure that things worked in the space. Our dinner reception was also held outdoors but the PNW being what it is, the weather turned the day before and we had to make a last minute decision to get a tent. Joanna was both effective and compassionate in handling the change: she assured us that “we’re in this together” and within minutes everything was sorted out. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough so it was refreshing to work with such a capable team at Robinswood House. Highly recommend both for the venue and for the team behind it!

Gorgeous suites Gorgeous ballroom Gorgeous venue inside and out Friendly staff As long as Kayla stays the venue coordinator you can’t go wrong with this choice! She makes visions happen.

We recently hosted a wedding reception at the Hilton Bellevue, and I can’t say enough about how amazing the entire experience was. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. A huge thank you to Lisa, who was incredibly hands on, organized, and attentive throughout the entire planning and setup process. She made sure every detail was taken care of, kept everything running smoothly, and truly treated our event like her own. The team worked seamlessly to accommodate all of our needs from the room setup to last minute requests and every staff member we interacted with was warm, professional, and helpful. The space looked beautiful, the service was flawless, and our guests were genuinely impressed with the space and very delicious food! It’s rare to find a venue with such genuine care. Hilton Bellevue truly exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning an event or special occasion, I can’t recommend them enough. Five stars all the way!

Ascend didnt miss a beat, and absolutely nothing was missed. We had booked about 8 months in advance for a Reception Dinner and every step of the way their team (and especially our dining coordinator!) was on top of things with all the little details covered. Night-of went incredibly smoothly, and all of our guests were extremely happy with their service, their food, the general vibe, and everything else. For anybody else needing a medium-sized space for an intimate gathering, I would 100% recommend!

The Meydenbauer team absolutely took care of my wife and I when we held both our ceremony and reception there. Super friendly team, very professional, and very helpful in helping us plan our ideal wedding. Couldn’t speak more highly of them. Ask for Chanel and Rachel- they will definitely take care of you!

My husband and I had cupcakes for our wedding cake, but we wanted something a little special as well... so we went the the cheesecake factory and got one of their big 10" snickers bar cheesecakes for us to cut and feed each other as well as to give out to close family and friends at the wedding. We had a small wedding so it ended up that everyone who wanted to taste it was able to and the kids were all happy with the cupcakes as were the people who didn't like cheesecake. It was so yummy!

My recommendation for this venue is at its highest. Not only were they very helpful in the process but most importantly they were very comparable to the area. While researching other hotels across the street, they wanted over 15k more than what the Westin offered me and included in my package.

We had the most amazing winter wedding at the beautiful and unique W Bellevue. We had both the ceremony and the reception in the ballroom space, with the cocktail hour in the open area upstairs and photos in the Living Room bar. We were even given a heavily discounted upgrade for the breathtaking Extreme WOW Suite to use as our wedding suite, which we also used for a pre-ceremony event and bridal photos. The food and drinks were amazing as well, with custom appetizers, cocktails, buffet, and desserts. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the beauty of the entire hotel, the awesome food, and the amazing staff. The location also makes for easy access for in-town guests and plenty to do for out-of-town visitors, and we were able to do a combination room block with the Westin next door (same ownership), which was nice for guests who wanted to save a bit of money and stay somewhere simpler. Be sure to warn any W guests about the all-glass in-room showers :). We would like to especially recognize the hard work of all of the hotel staff, especially our coordinator Lauren, chef Thomas, and banquet coordinator Can. All three of them went above and beyond to do everything they could for us and our guests. However, we did have some issues. We initially dealt with a sales person who made many promises that fell through between the pitch and the contract. We almost ended up ditching the venue after several details we were promised got changed in the fine print of the contract, but we are glad we stuck with the venue in the end! We also had issues with the room blocks, as the hotel's website didn't work right, the block ended up filling up (it was supposed to grow automatically), and people who booked by phone had lots of issues. Eventually, the publicly available room rates for pre-paid were cheaper than our block, which was supposed to be a discounted price, and resulted in some guests booking on their own. In the end, though, everyone who stayed at both hotels loved their rooms and the hotel staff. In terms of value, it was nice to have everything we needed, including an open bar, offered at a fixed per-guest price. We had some special needs, such as kosher meals and kids meals, that were taken care of at a cheaper rate. The chef allowed us to add an extra entrée on the buffet and a few other small add-ons without extra charges. The hotel did want to charge extra for some small things, such as a $5 for gift bags for hotel guests (which we couldn't do anyway, because many people booked outside of the room block). I think overall, though, we got a pretty good deal on a per-person basis given everything that was thrown in, and we also got enough Marriott Bonvoy points (6 per dollar) to travel free for a very long time to come. In the end, despite some small hiccups, we're thrilled with out experience at the W Bellevue and would not hesitate to recommend it. Just read the contract carefully.
