I am writing this to say ditto to everything from Hayley J's review! We just had our wedding here…read moreat the end of July and used the garden space for the ceremony, the patio space for cocktail hour and dancing, and the Hall for dinner. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for what we were looking for! That being said, there are definitely some limitations with this venue, so I've tried to list them below. Pros: - Very affordable, even on a Saturday afternoon/evening in the middle of the summer! (check their website for current rates: https://www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/parks/Permits_and_Reservations/Facility_Rentals/heritage_hall.htm#rentalhours). - No limitations on catering/bartending. You can hire whoever you wish to cater! - Air conditioning! This wasn't something I thought would be such a big benefit, but this summer the heat was atrocious and having the AC was such a relief. - 2 bathrooms (one on ground level, one downstairs). - I feel like this beautiful location was made for a wedding. Guests could flow so easily between each space (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner), there were fantastic spots for wedding photos (e.g., the steps in front of Heritage Hall, the dock of Kirkland Marina Boat Launch, the huge gazebo at Marina Park Pavilion), and there were tons of bars just down the street in downtown Kirkland to choose from for the after party (we went to Flatstick Pub!). - The ladies at the City of Kirkland were so nice and easy to work with. I was planning this entire wedding from across the country and they answered all my questions and tried to help out in every way possible leading up to the big day. Thank you Lourdes and Nicci! - Check out their facebook page to really see how this wonderful space has been used by others for weddings and other events: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heritage-Hall/161827740497253 Cons: - Limited space. The indoor part of this venue is only an option for those with a small number of guests (max capacity in the Hall is 70). We only had a wedding of 62 people, and I still had fears about fitting everyone inside Heritage Hall and having them seated for dinner. It ended up working out, but the tables and chairs weren't the recommended distance apart that all the stuff online suggests so I'm sure everyone felt cozy. - Parking. Not the most fun because there is no dedicated parking for events and the spaces directly around Heritage Hall are all metered or time-limited (e.g., 4 hours, which wasn't long enough for our wedding). I think our guests either parked farther away or moved their cars halfway through. - No chairs/tables for outside. The venue comes with 15 rectangular tables and 70 chairs that you can use inside of the Hall, but you have to separately bring or rent chairs and cocktail tables if you wish to have any outside. You also can't have equipment dropped off in advance or left beyond your rental period, so you need to pay to have same-day drop off and pick up. It ended up costing over $500 to hire a rental company just to drop off and pick up 52 chairs and 4 cocktail tables w/linens, so that was an extra expense I hadn't initially anticipated. - No AV system. This isn't really an issue inside Heritage Hall because the space is small enough it's easy to project your voice, but we ended up renting an AV system for $200 to use outside for music/mic during the ceremony and dancing. If you do this, just note there is only 1 outlet on the outside of Heritage Hall on the patio, so you may need to get extension cords. - No real kitchen (only mini-fridge). This might be an issue if you plan on having true catering or need to keep items cold. - Alcohol could only be beer and wine; no cocktails, hard liquor, or beer kegs. This was fine for us, but if you plan on having signature cocktails, you'll need to look elsewhere. Overall, if you are looking for space to host a small, simple wedding with no frills but amazing grounds and easy access to other locations for catering options, photos, and after party, I can't recommend Heritage Hall enough.

This location was absolutely perfect for our small wedding (50 people). It's a beautiful old…read morebuilding with gorgeous gardens. It was great for so many reasons - we could say, Hey our location only holds 60 people so we have to keep it small, sorry! The people at the city of Kirkland were so easy to work with, and it had air conditioning (which was great for our 95 degree wedding day on June 30th)! The slight downside of working with the city is that you can only preview the location during weekday working hours, and you only get 15 minutes to walk around, but believe me, that's all you need. We were all worried we would be rushed, but we walked in and you enter right into the room from the front doors, and it's all right there. There is a bathroom downstairs you could get ready in that you can't really see from the info on the website. There are plenty of tables and chairs available as well, but they are only to be used indoors, which worked out great for us. You can't find a better location right next to the water for the same price point. We were very pleased!

In this economy can you think of a better deal?!?!? Seriously I'll keep coming back time and time again as long as they are offering that special because it's the best offer and a great way to enjoy the night without breaking the bank. Thank you Flatstick for offering this deal and making your customers happy on their date night out. We appreciate you!

Definitely recommend! Would come again.

Their menu is in a cute binder with illustrations. They have items and flowers for sale. Also, they have a Polaroid camera that you can take photos during your visit. I ordered the lavender latte. No fancy latte art, but really good latte. Lots of decorations but still felt minimalistic; I am obsessed with this location.

Our daughter has been participating in Youth Soccer here and it has been an overwhelmingly terrible…read moreexperience. We didn't find out about the start date/time of the spring clinic, practices and games until the day of each event despite reaching out multiple times across multiple platforms- calling, emailing and reaching out via their Facebook profile with no response for literal weeks. For the soccer clinic we didn't hear back from the club until the day after; luckily our kids school happened to send home flier about the clinic so we used that to guide us around date and time and had to guess at the location. Practices are canceled with little to no notice. Only 5 kids signed up including mine, I can understand why they don't have repeat players. I spoke with the athletic director who confirmed this is the norm and didn't seem to understand why families need more than 3-12 hours notice. Never again.

My two girls (12 and 7) were attending the Kirkland Boys and Girls Club (whose motto is "Be…read morePositive") for Summer Camp. During the camp, one of the boys in the camp picked up a stick, covered it in dog mess, and waved it in a threatening manner at my older daughter. Not realizing that it was covered in mess and feeling threatened, my daughter grabbed at the stick to stop the boy from hitting her with it. At that point, the other boys in the group started laughing because she "touched dog poop". As you can imagine, she became very distraught and told a member of the staff who told her to clean up. In the mean time, the boys returned to play and spread the word of the "poop stick girl". When she returned the main antagonist was told to apologize, which he did, but in a way that left my daughter feeling he was not sincere. We spoke to the Director of the Boys and Girls club and asked that further action be taken to ensure that this individual was punished for his bullying behavior (as defined by the BGC guidebook). After giving her time to review the situation, she responded that they would take no further action and they felt it was dealt with. Both of my girls are now terrified of attending the Kirkland Boys and Girls Club and we've had to remove them and move them to other summer camps. We did receive a partial refund from the BGC for the other weeks of Summer Camp that they have not attended, but they declined to issue a full refund, stating that the prior weeks needed to be paid for as they "delivered care" during that time. We feel that other parents need to be aware of this situation and at least make a decision on how they would feel if confronted with this situation. The fact that the Club staff is so soft on bullying sent a clear message to the other kids that they can do whatever they want and only would need to say the words "I'm sorry". We have had remarkable experiences with the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club and we are really devastated that the Kirkland one would be so poorly managed.
