    Perfect Urban Wedding in Ballard

    We loved our venue at the Olympic Rooftop Pavilion. It was a beautiful late fall day so our guests got to spill out to the gorgeous deck. We had our ceremony offsite so set up was fairly simple and the staff was kind and efficient. I was worried we didn't have enough flowers but the venue was beautiful and stood on its own in the sunset. The food and drinks from Stoneburner were amazing, as was Dominique the event lead. Everyone told us it was the best food they've had and we wound up with very little leftovers (a good thing). We had short of 100 people, which was just right for the space. It didn't feel too crowded.
