If you’re looking for a beautiful, rustic and elegant venue. Then choose Sadie Lake Weddings. It’s reasonably priced and they choose to cherish that weddings are for love not for money. DeeDee and her husband are both very nice people and go above and beyond to celebrate your day. I chose Sadie Lake Weddings because I am the baby of 5. My eldest sister and her husband got married there 18 years ago when it was called something different and owned by the Browns. I had the most beautiful wedding. My husband hopes in 10 years that if they’re still around, we’ll have our vow renewal there. It’s kept clean and beautiful during spring, summer and fall. We’re from Kirkland and from all the places I looked at online, Sadie Lake Weddings in Arlington, WA was the one. I knew it as soon as I met DeeDee on the first and last venue we looked at. So if you’re interested in Sadie Lakes. Go for it. You won’t be disappointed and Congratulations!!!!

We had a truly magical wedding aboard the Virginia V this July.

Alicia and Mark were extremely responsive and accommodating of our requests. Our guests had an amazing time and we were so honored to celebrate with a piece of Seattle history. The Virginia V is a nonprofit and I loved supporting them in preserving the ship rather than paying a corporate wedding venue.

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 were married at MUCC in August of last year and it was perfect! The church space itself is lovely and looks wonderful in our photos. The sanctuary is especially beautiful with lovely stained glass windows. They also had plenty of space in another area of the church so that we could host our reception there as well. This was really helpful since we had many out of town guests who are unfamiliar with driving in the Seattle area. Beyond that, pastor Marci was really wonderful and met with us before the ceremony to talk about what we wanted. We felt really fortunate to find her, but I believe you can also have your own officiant which is not something many churches allow you to do. We also used their pianist for the ceremony music and he did a fantastic job. Overall everything was very easy and convenient, allowing us to just focus on the day. They are also a wonderful church that contributes to the community, definitely appreciate these folks!

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding DJ I have been to many venues and for a city venue this is a special one with the view of the canal, boats and trains. You are on the edge of the waterway and the windows do the view justice. Plenty of space for tables and a dance floor with another section that flows well into the space. The bar and esthetics are well thought out and the staff is friendly. The patio is perfect for an outdoor ceremony If you are having guest come visit Seattle, this is as Seattle as it gets. You get to see boats and trains go by without the noise. And it is close to parks and bars for an after party. DJ Darius Groove on Hyde Street DJs www.grooveonhydsestreet.com

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!
