Holly Sent on 04/30/2023Best team ever!
From the first time I reached out to T&T catering to the amazing salmon dinner, the T&T team was absolutely amazing. My first interactions were with Kimball and Sara, whom I hold dearly in my heart. They graciously walked my now husband and I through the planning process of having our special day at the Hall at Fauntleroy.
On the big day, the T&T team stepped up even more than I could ever expect. 1) Rain was in the forecast and we planned to have our ceremony in the garden. The T&T team set up the upstairs room for our ceremony in case we changed our minds last minute, which we eventually did. That was such an amazing surprise! 2) A crow flew into our reception room before the ceremony (I had no idea - great job T&T + my wedding party!). Due to the food safety hazard, the T&T team once again went above and beyond and moved our entire reception set up (tables, chairs, decor, cakes, etc.) to the upstairs room. It was mesmerizing to watch while we finished our family photos inside. Lastly, but certainly not least, the team lead an incredible dinner service (family style). They made sure that all special meals when to the correct guests, wine glasses were always full, and even cracked some jokes with our friends at the “Jesse table”.
I HIGHLY recommend working with the T&T team for your wedding or any event. I cannot wait to work with them again one day in the future. Thank you for everything! -

Tracey Sent on 01/26/2023Our wedding with The Hall at Fauntleroy was perfect!
We found The Hall at Fauntleroy the week of our engagement while walking our pups in our West Seattle Neighborhood- we felt how special it was, and loved imagining the possibility of our wedding taking place just walking distance from our house.
Immediately The Hall at Fauntleroy Team was responsive, thorough all while being festive and helping us feel celebratory. We loved the Event Proposal process, where The Hall of Fauntleroy Team drafted different versions of what our wedding and reception might include at a myriad of price points, everything was customizable to meet our vision of what was important and where we wanted to devote resources. Our dedicated coordinators were attuned to our energy and consistently made us feel seen - even when we were being two neurotic brides (virgo/capricorn duo). The team also had excellent recommendations for other vendors we might want to work with - but was equally warm and welcoming to vendors new to their team.
We had so much fun at different planning events put on by the team including our tasting, an open house with featured vendors and our individual planning sessions. We also ate and drank so much! The full food and drink program was dialed in, thoughtful, seasonal dishes with local touches were exactly our vibe, We still dream about the lemonade!
We understand our bias, but truly it was the best wedding we have ever been to and it’s what we continued to hear from a lot of our guests. Flow was effortless, staff were professional and FUN, we ate and drank so many delightful things. The setting felt cozy and unique, while maintaining quintessential Seattle energy. With one of us having a career as an event planner, the technical details were something that were very important to us, and it was perfect. Our day was both chic and comfortable - which is no easy task, but precisely what we requested.
Coordinating a wedding as a queer couple can feel extra daunting, the wedding industry is often geared to a very specific vision of what a wedding should look like- The Hall at Fauntleroy team seamlessly integrated our narrative into our vision of our perfect wedding. Thank you for our perfect day.

Josh Sent on 09/16/2021Outstanding venue and staff
The staff at DSquared, the company that manages The Hall at Fauntleroy, were great to work with through our pandemic-impacted celebration. They were flexible and creative as we navigated a year delay, a venue change, and a shift in format resulting in an event where our guests felt safe, had an incredible time, and we felt celebrated. The catering (provided through the venue) was fabulous, the venue was perfect, and the staff service was top notch. We were ready to party and celebrate our marriage after a difficult year and The Hall and Fauntleroy really delivered! -

Jenni Sent on 09/24/2019An unconventional vision, realized!
When it came time to start planning our big day, my husband and I wanted to get as far from traditional as possible. When we first visited The Hall at Fauntleroy, we knew that was our venue - the outdoor setting was perfect for what we wanted. But when it came time to discuss the details, we got nervous. We threw Kimball and her team at The Hall quite a few curve balls: totchos and sliders, lawn games, trivia, an ice cream truck delivery... but they caught them all, and even offered some additional suggestions to make our party better. Plus, the level of enthusiasm and excitement that everyone we worked with got us even more excited for our big day! From the first meeting at the venue to last call, the entire experience was amazing. We were in such great hands! -
Shannon Sent on 09/18/2018Amazing venue, with excellent catering company that operates out of it, excellent staff, excellent event coordinator, and THE BEST FOOD. Hands down, such an incredible and low stress experience! It has a bridal room, studio, and a huge bathroom for big dresses. Also, an indoor and outdoor area for the wedding. We rented the entire venue out and had a signature cocktail (with other alcohol brought in from Costco). Less then 15 minutes from home for us too!! Such great people to work with and such a beautiful experience!!

Heather Sent on 01/14/2018The entire staff at the Hall was amazing. From planning and meeting to the actual day of, we could not have asked for more helpful and knowledgeable people. We worked with Natalie and Hanna and they both went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect, and it was! The food was delicious, too. We still have guest commenting on the chicken skewers. The Hall will always have a special place in our hearts. Definitely recommend including the billiard suite downtstaris in your rental, it was the perfect place to get ready and leave the bridal party's belongings.

Alistair Sent on 08/20/2015We had our wedding and reception at The Hall at Fauntleroy, owned by Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes. Well before our wedding date, Amanda Austin, the event manager handling our wedding, kept us well informed of all the details necessary for our special day. She was incredibly responsive to e-mails, including many last-minute concerns the week of the wedding! On the wedding day their staff performed flawlessly – everything was executed exactly as planned in our discussions with Amanda, and we did not have to worry about a single detail. The food was also fantastic, and they were nice enough to send us home with plenty of leftovers. In fact, many wedding guests told us the food was one of the highlights of their day, which from a buffet-style lunch is no small feat (the cedar planked salmon was especially a hit)! They were also able to provide us with additional event space for the signing of our ketubah and our yichud, and really went above and beyond to make every minute of our wedding wonderful! -

Katie Sent on 10/26/2019Great Experience
We held our wedding ceremony & reception at The Hall at Fauntleroy in August. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would 100% recommend the venue. We held our ceremony outside in the garden and reception upstairs in the Emerald room. The garden is a beautiful setting and it actually makes you forget you are right in Seattle. The outdoor bar provided our guests drinks before the ceremony and made for a smooth transition to our outdoor cocktail hour. The beautiful brick walls and big windows of the Emerald room make for an ideal dinner setting. The room required little additional decoration and ended up being more beautiful than we could have imagined. Our guests raved about the food and we were impressed be the catering staff throughout the day. They were kind to all our guests and paid extra special attention to us.
While everything came together perfectly, we did feel like overall communication leading up to the wedding could have been better. We often felt like we had to email the team multiple times to get a response. Thankfully, when it was time for the wedding all of our special details were done correctly (long tables instead of rounds at dinner, dual aisles for the ceremony, cut limes for the Modelo beer). We would absolutely recommend The Hall at Fauntleroy for anyone considering a Seattle wedding.

Nicole Sent on 09/16/2016My wedding and reception were at the Hall at Fauntleroy this past August. My ceremony was in the Vashon garden and my reception was held in the Emerald Room. Our wedding turned out beautifully and was so much fun! The venue space is beautiful. The Vashon garden has a private feel and the Emerald room has gorgeous exposed brick and a statement light fixture that is eye-catching. I received many compliments on the delicious dinner catered by Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes, the exclusive caterer for the Hall. I can't say enough about how wonderful the staff were on the day of my wedding. The servers were great at anticipating our needs and made sure to do anything they could to make sure everyone had a great night. I didn't expect to be taken care of so well by the staff! The only downside was that there is no AC. They have multiple, large portable ACs and keep the shades down during the day, however, it was a 90 degree day and once we filled the hall, there was no denying it was warm. That being said, I had such a great experience and I would absolutely recommend the Hall at Fauntleroy to anyone looking to plan a large event! -
User661356 Sent on 10/25/2011The venue is beautiful. The food was amazing (people are still commenting on our food almost a month later). The only hitch was that our site coordinator was less than reliable. While the whole event turned out beautiful, he would do things like say he would email me in the afternoon with an updated estimate for the changes I had requested, and I wouldn't get the email until after I reminded him 3 or 4 days later. While it may have been just another event for him, it was a major event for me, so it would've been nice if he had been a little more on the ball. HOWEVER, other than that, the event itself was perfect! The soft seating was a hit, as was the unusual layout we used. They never said that something wasn't possible, and it all turned out beautifully.
