Camille Sent on 09/28/2025Beautiful venue and an awesome staff!
We’re so glad we chose Bell Harbor for our wedding! From the start, Linda, the Sales Manager, won us over with her kindness and professionalism—she’s the reason we picked Bell Harbor when we were just about to go with another venue.
Camila, our Events & Conference Services Manager, was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in ways we didn’t even expect, and even our wedding planner kept pointing out how rare it is to get that level of care. We felt so supported the whole way through.
The catering and bartending team was fantastic—they not only listened to our notes but also created amazing signature drinks inspired by the Filipino ingredients we wanted to highlight. They really brought our vision to life.
And after the wedding, the staff made sure our things were kept safe until we could pick them up a couple of days later. That extra thoughtfulness meant so much to us.
Bell Harbor isn’t just a beautiful venue—it’s run by people who genuinely care, and that made all the difference for us.

Wing Sent on 05/10/2026Beautiful Views, Incredible Staff, and Surprisingly Stress-Free
We originally chose this venue because of the location. Since almost all of our guests were coming from out of town, being so close to the city and Seattle’s best attractions made everything feel easy and stress-free for both us and our friends and family. It ended up being the perfect way to showcase Seattle.
What really made the experience exceptional though was the staff. The sales manager, event manager, chef, and everyone we worked with were incredibly flexible, collaborative, and genuinely fun to work with. We decided to skip a formal ceremony and instead host an extended reception that started on the rooftop before moving into the WTC space, and they fully embraced every idea we had.
We also created a completely custom menu that honestly probably nobody else has ever had before, and instead of pushing back, the chef fully leaned into it and gave us a fantastic tasting experience. We DIYed many parts of the wedding, and the team was always willing to “yes and” our ideas rather than make things difficult.
The venue itself also does so much of the work for you visually. The rooftop views are stunning, and the WTC space with its curved glass has so much character. Our guests constantly commented on how beautiful the venue was, and the food got rave reviews as well.
Most importantly, the logistics felt incredibly easy the day of. Since the venue, furniture, food, and staff were all handled in-house, I mostly just showed up and enjoyed the wedding. We had a relatively casual multicultural wedding with about 60 people, but I honestly think this team could make any type of event feel seamless and special. -

What a beautiful view and such an amazing open space the staff was so easy to work with and was able to help me find areas we could use for photos. So far one of my favorite wedding spots to photograph. -

Natalie Sent on 12/29/2019Amazing Visit!!!
Our wedding is not until August 8, 2021. But Carissa has been an amazing help. She was very attentive and answered all of our questions during our visit that it was a no brainer for us I’m choosing this venue. She had an iPad with her as well and every corner of the venue that we visit, she would show us what it could look like to help us picture our special day! -

Carey Sent on 09/11/2019Perfect for our group size and made planning super easy!
We absolutely loved having our ceremony and reception at the World Trade Center Seattle. When we were searching for a venue, we both wanted a waterfront view of Puget Sound, and my now husband really wanted something that was fully indoors just in case there was summer smoke. WTC could not have been better for that vision, and we did end up getting to use the gorgeous outdoor terrace space since the weather ended up being fantastic as well. We knew our target guest count was around 75, and even though we ended up a bit lower then that at 59, the space was perfect for our size group, not too big or too small feeling. From beginning to end it was so convenient to have an all in one venue, and because we purchased the Celebration package it was incredibly easy to predict what our final costs would be. All food, alcohol, and rentals were provided by the venue, which meant that I didn't have to find a separate caterer. Everyone was also raving about how delicious the food was, and at our tasting they were very accommodating to the little tweaks we wanted to make to make everything just that much more perfect. They also offered small upgrades to things such as the linens at reasonable prices to really make the space fulfill our vision perfectly.
As for staff, everyone was super kind and wonderful, but in particular our sales manager Carissa, our event coordinator Paige, and our onsite coordinator Alyssa were all amazing and very responsive to any questions we had at any time. I could not recommend the WTC Seattle more for a couple with a guest list of less then 80 who wants an all inclusive, gorgeous waterfront venue! -

Kiri Sent on 10/02/2015We chose WTC Seattle as our wedding venue because it seemed like the right size for our wedding, and we loved its location, view, decor style, and the outdoor terrace.
Throughout the planning process, Carissa (our sales manager) and Jennifer (event manager) have been extremely responsive and helpful. Jennifer responded to all our questions and last-minute requests patiently, and she had the ceremony and reception set up exactly the way we wanted!
WTC provides exclusive catering and bar options. Honestly when we first looked through the brochure, the cost landed a bit on the pricey side. But the food and drinks were absolutely wonderful! And the catering and bartender service was top-notch. The serving staff members were kind and professional. Our banquet captain Cheryl even packed some food from the buffet for us when she noticed that we didn't have much time to eat our dinner!
We had a wonderful and memorable wedding, and would definitely recommend WTC to our friends and family! -

We couldn't have been happier with how the venue turned out. The decorations were wonderful. The outdoor rooftop ceremony was beautiful. Catering was well done. The package options for food and drinks were great. Staff was very helpful and made everything possible down to the last detail. Catering and decor bundled into one location made things easy. -

Orlene Sent on 09/06/2012Had my wedding here last weekend. Overall, the service, food, and setting is amazing for a special celebration. We had the ceremony on the roof top with brilliant views of Seattle and the reception in the maritime room. You basically get a whole museum full of extra space to use to your liking. The main room has huge windows facing Alaskan Way with a garage door that can be opened for a gated off patio area.
The food is delicious! The only downside is that the pre tasting is very limited, so you don't get to try everything ahead of time that you end up choosing for the actual event meal. This was a bit nerve racking, but I guess it is because they are not a full time restaurant. You get to try exactly 3 hors d'oeuvres, 3 main courses with their choice of starch and veggie (they ignore the items you are considering as finalist for the starch and veggie choose randomly which veggie and starch to include as samples). I can't complain too much though because everything we picked ended up being terrific and we got a lot of compliments on the food from the guests.
The service during the reception was top notch and our wedding planner Brenna from Bell Harbor was very reliable throughout the process. There were a couple random added little costs that they tried to add on, but they try to work with you if you think the charge is unfair. Overall, I could not be happier with my decision to have my wedding at Bell Harbor. Thank you Brenna! -

Anonymous Sent on 12/10/2012Overall they were great about explaining their policies when asked but it wasn't very clear at first. To be fair, our plan was a bit out of the ordinary for what they do but everyone was very helpful and willing to accommodate what we needed. The only grip I have is the lack of flexibility on pricing and the lack of value for the price but it's Seattle Waterfront so I guess they can get away with it. -

Jessica Sent on 10/16/2019june wedding
they were okay. great price compared to other venues we looked at, and everyone loved the food! only issues i had was the employee I planned everything with the whole year prior, was not the one assigned to me the day of. the employee i had didnt seem to have done her "homework" or look at any of the notes from the other girl and I had to look after everything myself. multiple mistakes were made with my set up that i had to run after and correct. biggest issue was another employee decided to interfere and for whatever reason, thinking she was helping out, made my DJ change my processional song so i didnt walk down the eisle to what i wanted. this is my biggest regret! according to my husband she got into an argument with the dj on whether the song needed to be changed or not. my dj gave up and changed it to make her happy to something random. otherwise it was an amazing night and id hire them again!
