We LOVED having our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception at the WAC! Katie and her team were amazing to work with and made every moment special and went above and beyond. Katie was very communicative throughout the process and had every detail covered. The ambiance of the WAC added timeless elegance to the whole event. The food are drinks were delicious and impeccably presented. We had 120 guests and they fit very well in the venue with room to spare. We 100% made the right choice regarding our venue choice and would recommend the WAC to any future couple. I'm so glad we did a venue tour and met the wonderful team at the WAC! They were truly a big part of why our wedding day was so magical. Thanks Katie and team! -

Kristine Sent on 06/01/2018Choosing to have our wedding at the Washington Athletic Club was the first big wedding decision we made outside of deciding to get married in the first place, and it ended up setting the tone for the whole event by being the best decision EVER. Katie, Patrick, and the rest of the WAC staff were beyond amazing in the time leading up to and during our wedding. Katie was always quick with answering emails and getting us the information we needed. Everyone was always extremely professional and accommodating, and they worked seamlessly with all our other vendors. We always felt cared for and supported. They were even kind enough to go out of their way to order our favorite root beer so we could serve it during the event, and they custom made espresso ice cream for our sundae bar! We also had complimentary parking for our guests.
In every interaction with the staff, it was clear that those who work at the WAC and on the catering staff love being there—most of the people there have been working there for years, and the care and joy they put into their service is truly admirable. Thanks to the team at the WAC, our day was absolutely stellar.
The team with the Spa at the WAC also ended up doing the make-up and hair for me and my bridesmaids, and they were amazing as well. The whole team is so kind and amazing, and with every interaction, it is clear that they care deeply about the work they do and the people they are working with. We had a group of four bridesmaids and me who did an assortment of hair and make-up, and all of us had so much fun talking with the team while we were getting done up. The end result was absolutely beautiful, and our looks lasted throughout the night, despite our starting the styling at 8:30 that morning! It was wonderful to have such a talented team in-house with our venue. I can't imagine having it any other way. -

Amber Sent on 06/07/2016I am really happy with the results of my wedding. The first event coordinator was somewhat responsive and had errors consistently in her estimate. After she left I worked with Renee and Katie. They were great. I likely was on them a little more then I needed to because of the service I received originally with the first coordinator. I was also worried that the food would not be good because the tasting was pretty bad but the day of the food was great! For the price, what the WAC provides, 2 nights in the suite, etc etc it is a great price. Everyone from the Bellman, to the waiter to kept my glass full during the reception and made sure I had food was great. Another thing that put me at ease was the ability to drop off décor, and other items the night before. I couldn't be more pleased with the decision to have my wedding at the WAC -
User1292538 Sent on 08/19/2013The WAC was perfect. EVERYTHING. I would throw another party there in a heartbeat. Amanda Schwanitz was our go-to and she took care of it all...even whipped up a bouquet for me to do the toss because mine wouldn't work for it! All the guests thought the WAC was top-notch, and raved and raved about it. I would throw another party there in a a heartbeat. -
User1008803 Sent on 11/08/2012This is absolutely the most perfect venue for a wedding in the state. It is right in the heart of downtown Seattle, so a bit daunting for my South Sound guests, but well worth it. We planned our wedding in 11 months, and it went off without a hitch. It was amazing.
The best part about having our wedding and reception here was the convenience. Not only are beautiful ceremony and reception rooms here, but restaurants to hold the rehearsal dinner, hotel rooms for overnight guests, fitness rooms (even yoga!) for working out pre-wedding jitters, and a full service spa, gentleman's barbershop and salon for Hollywood style pampering.
Our awesome venue coordinator worked out all the details to make sure every guest was taken care of so we could enjoy the day. After the ceremony we enjoyed a celebratory champagne cocktails in the beautiful lobby lounge and guests needed only to go to the third floor for the reception dinner. Their wedding packages take care of the beverages, the dinner and the cake, which were all outstanding. Every guest we spoke to loved the food and the beautiful surroundings. Even parking charges for our guests were covered!
Their service staff was amazing, both catering and hotel and bell staff. Our coordinator was totally on it - he ensured our wedding cards and gifts to a secure location so we didn't have to worry about them, and arranged for our overnight items moved to our suite for us! He employed his staff to assist our vendors with setup- he helped our DJ connect to their audio system; provided a refrigeration room for our florist; opened up the ceremony room early on Friday for ceremony awning setup; gave a full tour to our photographer; and provided a room for our vendors to have dinner and take a quiet break. After the wedding was over, they even left a small but beautiful personalized wedding gift in our suite. Trust me, this location will help you throw the wedding of your dreams. -
User2772562 Sent on 09/18/2016Professionals at hosting a wedding. All questions easily answered, and it is a great location for an event. Only wish I didn't have to have a wedding coordinator because between the venue and the DJ I thought we had everything covered. But still highly recommended.
