Gorgeous, but disappointing
•Verified review

I worked with Landmark Event Co. at their Seattle venue, The Ruins, for my 2025 wedding. In less than a year of planning, my husband and I dealt with four different wedding coordinators, not including the venue coordinator. While the first coordinator, Trevor, was extremely accommodating and welcoming, and Ruby, the coordinator we had for the last two weeks of planning was a rockstar, the other two left a lot to be desired. The constant turnover made the wedding planning exhausting and unreliable since we had to continuously repeat previous conversations. One of the main reasons why we chose The Ruins was because we were told verbally that our dogs could attend the wedding and stay in a side room during dinner. Because my husband and I met due to our dogs, we felt like they were an extremely important part of our relationship and wanted to ensure they were able to celebrate with us. In later planning meetings, we were told this was not allowed. Because we didn’t have any proof in writing, we had to scramble for last minute dog sitters. This part felt extremely misleading and incredibly disappointing. The communication between us and Landmark was very poor. After we signed our contract, Landmark changed their catering structure from à la carte to per-person pricing and repeatedly pressured us to switch. During the tasting event, they only showcased the food that they wanted us to choose from, which mostly were not the meals we wanted to share with our loved ones. To taste test the food we did want, we had to schedule a separate tasting and pay for it. We wanted to ensure not only that the food was delicious, but that it was abundant. We had 70 people RSVP to our wedding, so we ordered: three entrees, two salads, and three sides. As normal, we had no shows — ten to be exact. So we had ordered 210 entrees (because we had to buy three entrees per person for us to get a variety for our guests), for 60 people. Yet, guests didn’t get seconds, and the buffet was getting cleared while people were still going to get their plate. I still don’t know where all the food went. Security was also a gigantic issue. Despite being told that security wasn’t necessary, random strangers were walked into the venue while the bridal party was actively changing. Later, during the reception, uninvited individuals came in and started eating the cupcakes that we had brought in for our guests, threatened our personal wedding coordinator, and refused to leave until the coordinator bribed them with gift boxes. This type of experience should never happen, especially since they consider themselves a higher end venue. Our bridal suite was also not respected. We were told that this would stay closed as all of ours and our party’s personal belongings were stored there. In fact, the staff were using the bathroom in the suite and we had to ask the site coordinator to intervene. While the concept of the Ruins is gorgeous, it becomes clear slowly that upkeep is lacking. The space was dusty, there were cobwebs, and when you looked closely, parts of the venue felt rundown. For a venue that markets itself as high end, and charges accordingly, this was unacceptable. We spent around 30,000 for this event. I felt as if the coordination between us and the venue/staff were highly unorganized and unprofessional. I would not recommend Landmark Event Co. unless you get everything you want in writing, hire outside security, and are prepared to advocate for yourself constantly.

The Ruins by Landmark Event Co. was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was direct, comprehensive, and always timely, which we greatly appreciated. The venue itself was truly unique - a captivating blend of eclectic, baroque-inspired design elements that created a beautiful, interesting atmosphere. The team went above and beyond to contribute to our special day, from setting up our dessert ceremony without being prompted, to making last-minute changes to the table runners. We were thrilled with the exceptional service and quality of work from Landmark Event Co., and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.
Amazing venue and incredible staff

The Ruins was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was fast, helpful and thorough, which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of their work and overall value was whimsical, beautiful and incredibly convenient. We loved the fact that the Ruins is an all-in-one experience with the venue, food and drinks all included. The event staff were incredible before, during and after our event, and we had so many guests come up to us both during and after the wedding gushing about how beautiful the space was and how delicious the food is - especially the braised beef with chimichurri sauce. I would highly recommend this magical venue to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding experience.

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.
