Sadie Lake Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was detailed, consistent, and caring - DeeDee was always available to answer any of our questions. The venue itself was beautiful, practical, and spacious, allowing us to create the wedding of our dreams.

We would recommend the Virginia V to anyone who is looking for a unique, beautiful, and intimate venue! We had a 47-person wedding with about 10-15 volunteers working on the Virginia and 5 other vendors - that was a very comfortable size party for the ship. Alicia from the Virginia Foundation was extremely communicative, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and kind throughout our planning process. She was kind enough to give us multiple opportunities to come aboard the Virginia to see the spaces in person prior to the wedding. She worked closely with our day-of-coordinator to make sure the space was set up correctly. There are some limitations to the Virginia - smaller kitchen space, no open flames, no Command hooks/nails, not ADA compliant, and no open flame - however none of these were issues for us and our vendors were able to work around all of them. Our ceremony took place on Lake Union with the Space Needle in the background - Captain Doug navigated us deftly through the clusters of paddleboarders, kayakers, and speedboats. Our guests loved being on a dinner cruise during the wedding (with incredible Lake Washington and Mount Rainier views) and the crew was kind enough to allow some of our guests to come observe in the engine room while we were out. Overall, the Alicia and the team behind the Virginia V are fantastic to work with and the ship itself is a truly magical place to have your wedding. We highly recommend it!

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.

The Canal was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the clean, modern design and the abundance of natural light from the large windows. The terrace overlooking the Ballard Locks provided a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The heat lamps were on and everyone stayed warm during our ceremony. Beyond the aesthetics, the staff at The Canal went above and beyond to ensure our day went smoothly. They picked up our wedding cake, coordinated the set-up of the tables and chairs, and even provided candles for our centerpieces. Chef Paul is talented. He and his team prepared a delicious meal that we were able to enjoy without missing out on any of the festivities: they plated our food and it was ready for us when we sat down.

When Should You Book Your Seattle Wedding Venue?

August sees the highest number of venue inquiries with couples typically securing their space 10-12 months ahead for spring and summer dates. You'll need to move quickly for waterfront venues like The Edgewater and Bell Harbor which often fill 14-18 months in advance for peak-season Saturdays. The Olympic Rooftop Pavilion demands early booking due to its limited capacity and extremely high summer demand. Planning ahead gives you the best chance of securing your dream Seattle venue.
