As a wedding and event vendor, I love seeing Shutterbus at our events! The design is so fun and…read moreunique and that cute bus makes any event 10x cooler. They also have unique props that are really fun to interact with (not just paper glasses and hats on wooden sticks). My company has worked with Garrett a number of times and always has a great experience. We especially love recommending them to our venue guests at The Hall at Fauntleroy because the vintage bus parked in our outdoor courtyard makes for a great photo op!

We had a wonderful experience with Mike. He created a…read moreportrait portfolio commemorating our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was a first class, high quality experience from start to finish. It included wardrobe consultation to assist selecting our outfits as well as hair and makeup artist during the shoot itself. We ended up with at glorious commemorative album. To top it off, Mike also subsequently photo shopped one of the images that became the centerpiece theme for my wife's birthday party.

I've gone to Mike twice in the last few years. (Yes, it is important that your headshots are…read morecurrent!) He has a great way of putting me at ease so my character and personality shine through in my photos. It is very important to me that my photos reflect who I am because my web site and Linkedin page are the very first places that most prospective clients "meet" me these days.

Pros : They delivered on time, the potatoes had great seasoning and the bacon was good…read more Cons : a lot of fees make it more expensive than you expect, online ordering doesn't work, eggs were yuck I wanted to like twelve baskets. We get the same breakfast from another catering company every other week, so thought we'd try a new place. My first experience was with the order - this is actually my 2nd time ordering, the last time was for some breakfast burritos. Both times I had problems ordering on the website and had to call. When I initially did my research, they came in similar priced if not a bit lower than the other company we regularly use. After placing my order, I noticed they charge a 20% "production fee" in addition to tax, gratuity, and then an additional 3.5% to pay by card, so it ended up being $100 more. Also, I figured for ordering a hot breakfast for 30 people they would put it in disposable chaffers to keep hot, but they didn't. A nitpicky complaint is the chopstick serving tools for the fruit didn't work well at all either. Overall, we weren't very happy.

I can't believe HN doesn't have more reviews!…read more I first met Bob back in 2004 when he did my H.S. senior portraits. He did a great job! He was so nice that he let me come back again to finish the photo shoot because we didn't finish in the first sitting session! (most studios would tell you "too bad so sad" and make you pay again) We went to several locations around Kirkland but my favorite photo was in the studio in front of the beautiful red brick wall. That following spring Bob let me tagalong to a wedding as a part of my senior project which was an awesome learning experience for me and my photography journey. Since then he has photographed my family in 2006 in the beautiful Arboretum with all the trees changing in the fall. As well as for my baby sister (now 5) and brother (now 2) from infancy to now. October 2011 - we just did family photos again with the whole family. We went to Juanita Bay Park which is gorgeous and has a variety of cool back drops. I can't wait to see how they turned out! The session only lasted an hour so very quick an painless for the little siblings. But there are so many cool places in that park we could have gone for hours and not repeat a photo LOL. Bob truly knows what he is doing and has a great "eye" for good scenery and artistic vision when taking photos. Not only does he know the lay of the land around the greater Seattle area but he knows my family which makes taking photos that much more special and awesome! THANKS BOB! :D

To be honest as nice as Bob was his service is a little on the bad side. I know he's swamped with…read morehis groupon/livingsocial deals but we got our photos taken in October and have yet to receive them. They are our 3 year old son's photos/family photos and they were suppose to be Christmas gifts for our parents. I've talked to them many times and have been told they are on their way but yet...still nothing. In all honesty we will not be using Bob again.

A family member stayed here and required accessible services. The hotel staff went above and beyond…read moreto accommodate him, always with a smile. Special shout-out to Shawn, Kelly and Daniel. They are stellar. The lobby, rooms and common area are modern and clean. Lots of natural light. Onsite parking is easy. My family member said the onsite restaurant is very good. Recommend this hotel highly!!!

Came here to attend an event - Women's Day Out - so can only speak to the space in general. Smiley…read morefaces at reception, for sure. Giant lobby with a side section with high ceiling and lots of windows - lovely for getting some work done, maybe, on your laptop (as someone was). The event, Women's Day Out, was on the second floor. It was a ticketed event. There were a couple of levels of tickets and you could be a "VIP" and get a swag bag (I was not a VIP lol). After browsing the vendors at the event though I wonder if the swag bag mostly included coupons to use their services vs "free stuff." That was the main offering at the vendor tables - not so much "free stuff" as invites to try out their services at a later date. One spot was doing it "right" imo - was @onceuponaspa. They offered cute stickers for your nails and a cute mini nail file with a card explaining who they were. It was the perfect amount of "freebie" to allow us to witness their work (watching them put on the stickers) and to learn more about them - thus inspiring a return visit. Point is, almost no free samples. Just expected more of those at an event I paid to enter. Most generous offer came from @europeanwaxcenter who gave free eyebrow waxes. Thank you! As for the space, pretty cool for this type of thing, only a tiny bit cramped, would have liked the "vibe"/ambience to be a tad more "spa" - it was pretty business like; the lovely patio was hardly in use; a floral photo op was set very far away from everything else, etc. Also no complimentary refreshments - just water - really?! Ok yes my review has a theme. What I enjoyed was meeting new people, especially artists just starting out trying to make a living from their art. This could be a great networking event for an event organizer, for instance. Lots of great products from local creatives. @catchingfeelings (find them on Etsy!) very creative aesthetic sculpture; #StudioGhibli fans - check it out. @winnie+shine (a must if you have a Frenchie); extremely talented and professional - offered a gift w/ purchase. @revsravishingchocolates gorgeous artisanal custom chocolate for personal and corporate gifting @downtoearthpaper lovely artist saving the world one recycled paper notebook at a time; also stickers. @savialux skincare that smells REALLY GOOD. The hotel is located very conveniently in Redmond not far from the Town Center, and with parking available. Parking was crowded, yet I saw free spaces each time I was in the parking lot, which was great. I would totally stay at this hotel. @ontheeastsideevents @YelpWashington

The onside pool worked great except when there's multiple families it is loud and all seating is in a splash zone. Room was spacious enough and had all amenities. Clean and friendly front desk. We asked at checkin for the Camp Aloft Option for my kid. It looked cooler on instagram though. When it came, it was missing the actual tent canopy so it was just a twin air mattress with a forrest themed comforter. It was comfy enough for him though. You can walk to pizza poggio up the hill. The bar looked like a popular happy hour spot but we didn't eat there and instead ordered door dash.

New 3 star hotel that is owned by Marriott Bonvoy but think if it to be like a college dorm…read more The constant banging that I thought was a baseball being thrown against the wall the first morning here turned out to be the heavy glass shower doors. They started richotating about 4 am. As soon as you open the door after a shower, water spills onto the floor. Went through towels quickly due to this. The tile in the shower and bathroom have large grouts so it was uncomfortable stepping on them barefoot. I was here 5 nights and had to ask for TP and towels because the room was never refreshed. Their policy is to clean every 2 days. Told the manager at checkout who offered extra member points. There are 2 small square windows a foot from the floor without shades. So when it was the crack of dawn, the sunlight came in and woke me up. See photo. There's a desk with a side lamp and a rolling desk chair which was appreciated. The bed was all right. Pillows were super flat; two doubled still put my neck flat on the mattress. The closet rod is facing the wrong direction so one can't see their clothes, as the rod goes from the back panel facing you instead of left to right. 4 hangers weren't enough for a 5 day business trip so doubled items on them. There's an ironing board hidden in the headboard. No ice machines. There are bags of ice in a mini freezer so communal touching. Loud hallway noise. Can hear people in the next room just talking with the TV on. Charged for parking daily.

Attended the Flock Fiber Festival at the convention center last weekend. We stayed within walking…read moredistance of the convention center and arrived a half hour after the festival began to a very long line to get in. The line was well organized with staff directing people where to go and it went fast. The fiber festival consisted of vendor booths with yarn for sale, a small stage where various people gave craft-related talks, two food vendors, and classes. The space was more than adequate for the offerings. I enjoyed the festival and appreciated the cleanliness of the convention center.

I attended a very large conference here in January 2025 with around 6000 fellow attendees and was…read moreimpressed with how well the convention center handled this size of a group! The center is massive at 988,422 square feet of meeting/exhibit space so I never felt like I was drowning in a crowd and had plenty of space to move and breathe lol! And the vibes were sort retro modern style - hard to explain but it was interesting and had a nice feel to it. The center has two buildings - Arch & Summit. Arch is 6 stories tall with a main public space/lobby that has a four-story atrium and even has its own restaurants, shops, and public artwork! There are plenty of escalators and elevators, and lots of tall windows with excellent views of downtown and the Puget sound all around you. The Summit building is across the street and seemed quite a bit smaller with only like 2-3 floors, much smaller meeting spaces, and no main atrium/lobby. But it was still adequate and very clean and well maintained. All the rooms and halls were well numbered and there are many maps throughout the building so I never had any issues finding the events and lectures I wanted to attend. Plenty of staff were available to help with all the tech and AV equipment and there were rarely any issues during the 4 days of talks and events I attended - which is quite impressive given the size of the conference and the amount of events/lectures they had scheduled. The entire convention center was surprisingly very clean - and there are ample bathrooms in strategic locations on all floors - and all very well attended and maintained also. The center itself is in an excellent location surrounded by nice hotels and so many food options - convenient for exploring some of the main tourist spots in Seattle too as it sits on Pike Street and is a nice walk down to Seattle's famous Pike Market. I'd recommend this venue to any group - but especially for large scale conferences - and would happily attend events here in the future.
