We worked with Kelly at Seattle Parks to host our party at Alki Beach Bathhouse, and they were great! When a large city event got in the way of our original date, they worked with us to change dates painlessly, and early enough in the process that it was no trouble at all. They know that they're more experienced than we are, and worked with us to make sure we had the proper event insurance, banquet permits, and everything else.
The venue was exactly what we wanted, a nice, basic blank space to have our Wedding Reception-esque party for 65 in. That headcount felt good for having sitting & eating, with our caterers inside as well. We could have easily fit at least 20 more in.
Melinda at the venue was also a breeze to work with, helping us get checked in, worked with Parks & police when we couldn't get trucks down to the beach, and checked us out easy-breezy!
I look forward to the next opportunity I have to throw a party, because Parks venues are a great option! read more
