Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A gorgeous, Art Deco ferry boat that once shuttled cars and passengers between Vashon Island and Point Defiance, this 1920s treasure has been lovingly restored and now makes her home on bustling Lake Union, offering an unforgettable panorama of the Seattle skyline.
- Say your vows on the ship's expansive bow, followed by cocktails around the oversized central bar in the ferry's interior. As the sun sets, you’ll dine and dance with a view, thanks to the dining room’s porthole windows and oversized glass roll-up doors that open to the deck.
- Treat your guests to exquisite farm-to-fork cuisine from Herban Feast. Utilizing fresh, quality ingredients sustainably sourced from Fox Hollow Farm, the executive chef and award-winning culinary team will craft a personalized menu that will delight even the most discerning palates.
