We had our wedding at the World Trade Center Seattle and we could not be more pleased with our experience!! From day 1, the first person I interacted with, Linda Kress, treated me with a level of kindness and investment that was unparalleled when compared to the experiences that we had during our 13 other venue tours. Linda is amazing at her job and also simply an amazing person. She very quickly felt like a friend and went out of her way to provide us with so much additional wedding guidance based on her previous years of experience as a wedding planner. As the wedding got closer, we transitioned to working more closely with Camila Ormachea, who was also absolutely amazing and more helpful than we could have imagined. She coordinated all details with ease, was very responsive and accommodating, and was clearly invested in how our wedding was going to turn out. Forever thankful for both Linda and Camila!! We truly feel like we found a hidden gem in a sea of other beautiful but terrifyingly expensive venues. The actual venue fee is beyond reasonable - the greatest portion of the cost (which is still very reasonable) to hold your wedding here is in the food & beverage but let me tell you, it SHOWS. The food was unbelievably high quality and I believe is the thing that stood out to our guests the most, so many of them are still raving about it. That also includes the service, which was top-tier. Everyone working was very detail-oriented and did an incredible job of making sure the night ran smoothly from handing out champagne as guest arrived and flipping the ceremony space in record time, to a seamless plated dinner experience and beyond. I honestly felt so fancy during our wedding as a result of the service and the food. The room itself is also absolutely stunning and made for such a beautiful backdrop of our ceremony. The pics taken in the World Trade Center room itself turned out amazing, as well as all the pics that we took across the street on top of the attached Bell Harbor Conference Center. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I HIGHLY recommend that you choose the World Trade Center Seattle. I didn’t have to worry or think about a thing day-of and the venue and service absolutely surpassed any expectations I had!

From the get-go, I was so impressed with The Foundry. I initially spoke to Matt, and we were lucky enough to continue to have him as our event coordinator. I reached out to *so* many venues, and this was the only one that gave me a truly detailed breakdown of everything and a really good idea of what it would look like to have our wedding there. When we toured the space, we knew we found the right spot. It's beautiful inside and there's a lot of great features and room. We had a 185 person guest list, and our final count day-of was 127. There was PLENTY of space for everyone, and there would have been with our original count as well. Matt was so accommodating with us. He really took the time to work with us and help us customize our wedding. His response time was always quick, and I really appreciated the continual clarity with everything. The Foundry is run by Herban Feast, which means catering and the bar is all in-house. Initially, I was a little worried how this would affect the cost. And I'll admit, when I first saw the numbers, I was a little scared. But honestly, this was a crazy good value. The per person price for food was actually a lot lower than a lot of other places, and the food was seriously fantastic. In terms of the bar, they really worked with us and let us do a lot fo customization, which was awesome. In the long run, I was so grateful to not have to worry about food or booze and just let them work their magic! While we didn't do an individual tasting, Herban Feast has open houses for each season, and I was able to taste most of the menu items then. And yes, everything I had was delicious, and our selections were great on the day of the wedding as well. Overall, we were so happy to get married here and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a pain-free planning process. If you're getting married in the summer, it also doesn't hurt that they have AC!

We loved having our wedding at Dockside! The servers, bartenders, and staff were amazing and made sure we always had enough food and drinks. The space (and fortunate weather) put on a great showcase of Seattle to our 81 guests who were all visiting from elsewhere. The venue is in a local iconic seafood spot right on Lake Union, which has beautiful views for those visiting. We so appreciate Katie Melvin and the coordinating team's attention to our needs, the swift responses to constant emails, and the time in making sure our big day went well. We feel so lucky to have made such special memories at a venue/restaurant we're excited to point out and come back to in future years!

I'm a December 2025 bride and my experience with The 101 has been amazing! I originally booked for July but had to change dates, and they were so flexible and understanding. The venue itself is gorgeous with an open-concept layout that’s super versatile—it really allows you to make it your own. I’m working with Alison through their partial planning package, and she has been such a calming presence. I'm an anxious bride who doesn’t always know what I want, but she's patient, creative, and always quick to respond. I truly feel supported every step of the way. Highly recommend The 101 and their planning services!

The staff was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. I liked the fact that TCC has no restriction on vendors. However, they restrict alcohol use to just beer, wine, and champagne. No liquor! I am still unsure why they charged $200 for alcohol fee when they don't even allow liquor. The facility has a spacious and awesome kitchen that was much appreciated by our caterer. The outside space that comes with the reception hall rental is wonderful! There is a boardwalk next to a river with a few birch trees that made a wonderful setting for photos and video. Our guests sat outside during cocktail hours. I would highly recommend TCC to anyone.

I am BLOWN away at Imperia! We had our reception party here and planning was amazing. We worked with JJ with most of our scheduling and it was seamless. There were a bunch of individual touches we had in our wedding that JJ was supportive of, and excited for, and even months later, still get compliments on our wedding. A huge factor for those compliments are to Imperia, for being so professional, accommodating, having amazing decor, floor plan, catering AMAZING food, and great bartenders. We had customs drinks, they helped us with choosing where to setup our ice sculpture, overall floor layout planning, setup an AMAZING tasting menu, setup a seafood display that EVERYONE LOVED, setup the most amazing large charcuterie table, and worked well with all our vendors. Couldn’t haven’t done it without them! Photos by: worksbysarahjane.com

When my husband and I first walked into Georgetown Ballroom, we knew it was the perfect location for our intimate, 40-person wedding. This gorgeous venue is full of charm and history and highly customizable for events big and small. We immediately fell in love with the brick walls, paper lanterns and other thoughtful details throughout the space. The food and drinks were excellent -- the chef even helped us make a custom Bob’s Burgers style “burger of the day” as one of our appetizers. But what makes Georgetown Ballroom truly special are the wonderful people who work there. We worked primarily with Nancy Neyhart for more than a year to make every detail perfect. Nancy was responsive to my many, many questions, transparent with us about costs and allowed us to tour the venue multiple times as we were planning our decorations and details. Nancy and the team at Georgetown did more than help us plan a wedding -- they helped us share our love story. And I can’t go without mentioning the massive hiccup Nancy helped us navigate. On our wedding day, my husband woke up sick, and for more than a few moments, I thought we were going to have to cancel. But the Georgetown Ballroom team went above and beyond to ensure everything went according to schedule. Nancy helped keep me calm, and even brought my husband cold packs and ginger beer in his getting ready suite. We would recommend Georgetown Ballroom a hundred times over for all types of events. We will be forever grateful to Nancy and her team for her care and dedication to making our wedding happen.

We hired Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering for a buffet dinner + staffed bar + passed appetizers for our 100-person wedding and had an amazing experience. They were incredibly thorough during planning, such as identifying during the venue walkthrough that they would need an extra oven, which made the day run smoothly. We received tons of compliments on the food. Several guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had (the roast Brussels sprout Caesar salad was a standout!). The price is on the higher side, but absolutely worth it if great food is a priority. We highly recommend them for weddings or large events.

Very unique and special venue with tons of different unique areas including the foundry, the rooftop deck, and outdoor areas. Your guests will be excited to share pictures with their friends of family.

This was a fantastic venue. It is different, it had character, and it was super functional. There are different rooms you can choose to utilize in this space and all are different looking. The main room that we chose to be in was the Bullitt Cabaret room for both ceremony and reception. We used the upper and lower Halls falls, the Vault, and the Ackerley Forum for our cocktail hour. Because the rooms have so much character already, not a lot of decoration is needed in these spaces, just some flowers and table linen. The ACT doesn’t really advertise that they host weddings there, and I ended up finding out that they do by chance. This venue is worth going and taking a look at. Even with a change in the event coordinator in the middle of our planning process the transition was smooth. People are still talking about the unique space and have said it has been the best venue space they have been to. The only thing I would say is a "bummer" about this space is that you have to use their preferred caterer Tuxedoes and Tennis Shoes, which my husband and I did not like during the planning process, but they worked just fine on our actual wedding day. Please go take a look at this space, you won’t regret it!
