Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This spectacular 1927 Art Deco gem—rumored to have been a Prohibition-era speakeasy!—has been transformed into a welcoming event space. Nestled right at the edge of Lake Union, just outside downtown Seattle, it's refreshingly affordable and has a warm, artsy vibe.
- The historic interior features a striking, A-frame copper ceiling, rich wood accents, and rows of oversized windows overlooking the lake. You have the option to hold your ceremony in adjacent Fairview Park—the expert event staff can help you work out all the details.
- Packages are truly all-inclusive, and fully customizable. In additional to delectable food & beverage options, expert staff, and planning services, floral arrangements are also part of every package. From delicate boutonnieres to lush bouquets to cascading altar blooms, each piece is carefully crafted with locally sourced, in-season flowers to match your unique vision.
