Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I didn’t visit many venues, but after visiting WithinSodo, we kept envisioning our wedding taking place in it, and we are so happy we went with it. The most important thing for us at our wedding was to keep people dancing, and this was the perfect venue for that. The space was flexible and fun, and 120 guests felt full, but definitively not overcrowded. We had our ceremony & cocktail hour on the roof, food and a live band in the main room, and an on-site after-party back on the roof. This helped break-up the event and keep things fresh, without guests having to drive between locations; a guest said it was like “3 parties in one”, which would be hard to replicate at another venue. Going back on the “Monkey Loft” roof and enjoying the summer breeze and the city lights was a great way to end our wedding, and a time where we were able to have pure fun after a hectic day. Many of our friends commented that it was such a cool and fun venue!!! Kate was so nice and kind, and generous with her time. We were able to book venue access multiple times prior to the event, to walk-through with vendors, and Kate helped us there each time. She also made us so hyped for our event and is such a lovely person, we felt like we were in great hands. Some hopefully helpful notes: We were very happy to have hired a lighting vendor (Crimzon Haze), which helped the main floor feel lively. We went with a mobile pizza oven buffet (Veraci) instead of catering, and guests loved it, while also simplifying some of our catering needs. Setting up the bar and the desserts in the mirror room added fun and flair. The venue does not have an elevator to the rooftop, which doesn’t make it accessible to guests with limited mobility. We mostly took care of our own sound needs. If you don’t hire sound professionals, I would recommend doing a sound-check before the event to make sure everything is working as expected. Overall, we were super happy with our experience, and WithinSodo was a great venue with great staff for a flexible, “build-it-yourself” wedding. They have a TON of experienced vendor recommendations and plenty of tips and support along the way.

We had our wedding at the Metropolist almost a week ago, and we had the most amazing time! When we had our initial tour a little over a year ago, Andi was responsive and made us feel comfortable with the options we had, and quickly shared inspiration and recommended vendors. From this initial meeting, we knew we wanted to book this venue space. Over the course of planning, she continued to remain responsive to any questions we had. Closer to the wedding, we found out our contact changed and it took some time to get a consistent contact person. Though we were initially worried that this would impact our event, everyone we had communicated with was just as responsive and helpful in our planning. In the end, we know that we made the right choice. The space was perfect for our wedding, as well was the equipment that we were able to utilize (tables, chairs, iron easel, uplights) helped complete our vision. Would definitely recommend Metropolist and their staff!

The Ruins is like someone took all the cool bits of Seattle, threw in a dash of vintage Europe, and turned it into a wedding venue. From the get-go, the place just oozes personality. You've got walls with hand-painted murals that could have been lifted from a storybook – I’m talking vibrant colors, whimsical scenes, the works. And antlers. And trees indoors. Each room in The Ruins has its own thing going on. One feels like a swanky 1920s lounge, another like a secret garden. We had space to spare, so people could either kick back in a cozy corner or hit the dance floor without stepping on toes. The décor is this wild combo of eclectic and classic – it's like your great aunt’s house if she had more money than cigarettes and if she collected stuff from around the globe and had a killer eye for design. The library is amazing – shelves lined with books, a fireplace that makes you want to curl up with a novel, and this epic swooning couch. So, I might’ve taken inspiration from George Costanza – yep, I did a topless photo shoot on that couch. It was all in good fun, and the photos are a riot – a keepsake that breaks the mold of typical wedding seriousness, just like The Ruins itself. The food was great (but they let you bring in your own desserts so do so if you wanna save some money). The only, minor issue, is the bridal suite's location. It’s right by the kitchen, so it’s kinda like Grand Central at rush hour with the staff buzzing through. Note to brides: Swap it out for the library. Trust me, it’s much less busy (if darker) and you won’t have the kitchen hustle messing with your pre-walk-down-the-aisle zen. Honestly, The Ruins is the kind of place that’s perfect if you want a wedding that's a bit left of center but still super heartfelt. It’s quirky without trying too hard and intimate without being cramped. The whole day felt like us – not stuffy, just a big, fun, love-filled party. The Ruins has many nooks crammed with curiosities and corners begging for a photo op, it’s a place that feels alive. The mix of odd and elegant, the hand-painted walls that seem to whisper tales, the stuff like the enormous elephant (sadly, only in the back back room so only good for wedding photos not the guests) and the patterned horse and much more all adds up to a vibe that’s as unique as your weird cousin, the cool one, not the other one. The Ruins is like that one weird friend who's always got a story to tell and makes everything more fun. Having our wedding there was like a non-stop highlight reel – even with the bridal suite hiccup. It's a place for good vibes, great times, and amazing photos to start your weirdly ever after.

Fremont Abbey was such a beautiful place to hold our wedding, it was even prettier than we expected. The ambience is beautiful, there are plentiful spaces for getting ready and storing items, and the people are so friendly and accommodating. Of course, they're incredibly busy so sometimes it takes awhile to hear back, but they were wonderful to work with.

Cathedral

Seattle, WA
  • Up to 80 guests

  • Indoor
  • Starts at $2,200

We believe that people see the problems our world faces and have the desire to help, but often don’t know where to start. So we started Cathedral with one goal in mind — to build something that’s the sole purpose of existing was to make this world of ours a more just and beautiful place. Building things that matter takes time. Cathedrals took generations to build — those who began the work didn’t see its completion. The architect who drew up the plans would never see their spires rise. The mason laying the bricks would never stand under their cover.

Ray's was recommended by a friend of a friend and are so pleased with how everything turned out! We did not know where to begin with our planning and had the help of Ray's staff to guide us through all the details leading up to our wedding and reception. What helped us was the promptness in answering our questions and quickly shifting gears as we got closer to our wedding. The food options are incredible and loved that we did not have to stress about additional vendors for our big day! The day of, Peter was so helpful and quick to solve any problem that came up. Ray's offers the best backdrop for photos and taking in the beauty of Puget Sound! I would also add, this experience was worth every penny! Thank you to Hannah and Peter for being our support and to the Ray's catering staff for being so wonderful!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about City Farm! We were able to have the wedding reception of our dreams because of this place and the owners. From booking, to planning, to set up and Day Of, Casey and Scott were nothing short of a true blessing. They were organized, generous, kind, and a pure joy to work with! The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking and stunning. Our guests were blown away! We had countless praises that it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Also, the ease and practicality of the place kept everyone comfortable (plenty of bathrooms, space, and parking, easy to find, etc) these details are easy to overlook but so crucial for an enjoyable event. We cannot recommend City Farm enough and will sing their praises forever! One look at the venue and the beauty will speak for itself, but I can confidently say anyone’s experience booking here will be just as wonderful because of Scott and Casey :)
