Sadie Lake Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication was detailed, consistent, and caring - DeeDee was always available to answer any of our questions. The venue itself was beautiful, practical, and spacious, allowing us to create the wedding of our dreams. Sadie Lake Weddings went above and beyond, helping us set up many of our wedding decorations without us even asking. To have such a passionate person running the venue made our day so much better.

We would recommend the Virginia V to anyone who is looking for a unique, beautiful, and intimate venue! We had a 47-person wedding with about 10-15 volunteers working on the Virginia and 5 other vendors - that was a very comfortable size party for the ship. Alicia from the Virginia Foundation was extremely communicative, accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and kind throughout our planning process. She was kind enough to give us multiple opportunities to come aboard the Virginia to see the spaces in person prior to the wedding. She worked closely with our day-of-coordinator to make sure the space was set up correctly. There are some limitations to the Virginia - smaller kitchen space, no open flames, no Command hooks/nails, not ADA compliant, and no open flame - however none of these were issues for us and our vendors were able to work around all of them. Our ceremony took place on Lake Union with the Space Needle in the background - Captain Doug navigated us deftly through the clusters of paddleboarders, kayakers, and speedboats. Our guests loved being on a dinner cruise during the wedding (with incredible Lake Washington and Mount Rainier views) and the crew was kind enough to allow some of our guests to come observe in the engine room while we were out. Overall, the Alicia and the team behind the Virginia V are fantastic to work with and the ship itself is a truly magical place to have your wedding. We highly recommend it!

Awarded Best of Zola
What a fun venue! Beyond the unassuming entryway lies a flexible space that worked perfectly for our wedding. Most people I’ve told about our venue hadn’t heard of WithinSodo, and I’m surprised. It has multiple different spaces you can use (or not), a customizable vibe depending on your lighting and decor (you can hang things you can’t at other venues and have real candles), and we loved the plant-filled roof deck with a view of the Seattle skyline (and some furniture included so we saved on rentals). Compared to other venues we considered, this was much more unique, interesting, and dynamic while remaining reasonably priced. We also loved that we could do extra walk-throughs for no extra cost. Kate Anderson, our main contact, is a delight to work with—friendly, thorough, detail-oriented. Jody, the bar lead, has high standards for the WithinSodo's bar program, and even held a private cocktail tasting for us to make sure the drinks we'd selected (both boozy and nonalcoholic) were perfect before the big day. Highly recommend this venue!

The communication and flexibility make the UWBG the most well rounded venue with its indoor and outdoor options, ample parking, supplies available on site and most importantly the kind staff that work there from in the office to the folks who are on site during the events assisting as needed. As a catering company it is refreshing that the UWBG is run by gracious people that have been well trained enough to understand their clients needs as well as what it takes to run an amazing event balancing everything from client & vendor needs, flow of an event, layout... they just get it! They make things easier for everyone, and both corporate and social clients should be very grateful that this centrally located space is available. It is a rare combination from my experience to excel in so many areas of the event industry all wrapped in one awesome venue.

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
