The care, experience, atmosphere and attention to every detail is beyond what I was expecting! We had a couple people come and say they are looking at evening their daughter's wedding here.

We can't say enough good things about Georgetown Ballroom! From start to finish, this venue…read moreexceeded every expectation. The space itself is full of character and charm, which meant we didn't have to add much decor. GTB already brings the perfect vibe. Between the ballroom, theater, and patio, we had so many beautiful backdrops for every part of our celebration. The catering was incredible - our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, especially the brisket (which the chef loving tended to into the early morning hours). We also loved that we got to do a tasting beforehand, and the team was wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions. The bar was just as great! Our specialty cocktail and mocktail were both a big hit. Danielle, the venue manager, was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication and organization were top-notch, and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. On the day itself, Danielle and the GTB team were calm, detailed-oriented, and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy our wedding without stress. The in-house florist created stunning arrangements, which made things that much easier for us. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. GTB is very LGBTQ-affirming, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We're still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful and effortless everything felt. Georgetown Ballroom truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.

We visited The Corson Building for our anniversary on a Thursday night and were surprised by how…read morelively it was--by the end of our meal, every single table in the garden was full. It was sweet to see so many regulars, which gave the space a great community feel. The food was very good overall. We started with the whipped feta and bread, along with their famous salads, which lived up to the hype. My only small gripe was the olives; I wish they had been pitted, as it's a bit awkward to be spitting out pits during a romantic anniversary dinner! The standout of the night was the mid-sized dish of pork belly and lentils. It was wonderfully balanced and so delicious I wish I could replicate the recipe at home. For our mains, we had the fish and the lamb. I would happily order the fish again, though the lamb wasn't quite my cup of tea (though still well-prepared). We finished with the poached rhubarb and strawberry chamomile panna cotta, which was a lovely end to the meal. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. We hope to head back again soon, though next time I'd love to try snagging a seat inside!

I love coming for a few rounds of pool (there's one table in the back) and being surprised by whatever event they have going on. Service has always been great.

A great location with neighborhood views, access to public transportation and several amenities…read more We attended a Baha'i Naw Ruz (New Year) Party, here and loved the space for its large room, easily accommodating 150+ guests. They allow for outside catering, have tables and chairs set up for you, and offer AV equipment for projecting videos and using the mic. There are sinks and small counter spaces available as well as a large, slightly raised stage two steps up for performances and performers. Overall, a nice space!

I've been to many events at NewHolly both as a guest and a customer. The facility is clean,…read morespacious, and easy to find. A parking lot is available but can fill up quickly, depending on the size of your event and other activities that may be going on. There is an upstairs and downstairs but the hall itself is on the main level (or upstairs). On one side of the building, there is a lounge area near the bathrooms. It is a very clean, well kept space to sit and chill out away from the action. On the other side is the gathering hall. The hall itself has beautiful wood floors and large windows. If your event requires darker quarters, the shades can be drawn easily. Right where the windows are, there is a stage that covers the width of the hall. There are stairs all the way across and two accessible ramps up each side. The stage can fit a variety of needs and they have a podium and other tables that can be set up there, depending on your needs. I've been to most events where round tables are used. Other sets can be with chairs only. There is a sink on each side of the back of the hall as well as areas to hang coats, which I think is a necessity in Seattle. The staff is fantastic! They are flexible and easy to work with in order to meet your needs. I have to say that aside from having things set according to a floor plan, they recognize that it is possible you may have last minute changes and are very accommodating. Before you enter the hall, there is a hallway that can be set as a check-in area. I find that really helpful as people don't get clogged right inside the doors. If you're looking for a facility, you should consider NewHolly. They have tons of information on their website about cost and such. A great facility run by great people. Who could ask for more?

The many rooms you can rent allow you to truly create an evening that is filled with adventure and surprise throughout the entire night. MANY of our guests commented on how they were so impressed with the space and all the different kinds of vibes it can give off. Kate was wonderful to work with, and the fact that they allow you to do a walk through with your vendors as many times as you would like throughout the wedding planning process was MAGIC!! We were able to visit with different vendors and get a true idea of how we could customize the space to our personalities as best as possible. The drinks were delicious, the team was amazing, and Within Sodo is perfect!! Please someone invite me to a future wedding here as I will endless miss this place!!

Came on Sunday for wine tasting. Parking was plentiful…read more Ambience: 5/5 - The interior felt like we were touring at a vineyard, but very relaxed. It's definitely date-worthy. We enjoyed the board games as well. Tasting: 3/5 - Our server didn't talk about the wines other than announcing the names. Food: 1/5 - We ordered olives and it tasted off to me so I didn't eat more than one. My boyfriend was hungry and continued to eat them. Later in the day his stomach started hurting and described it as sharp pains. He also then got nauseous and what sounds like food poisoning. We shared all our food throughout the day so this is the only suspect. Because of this experience, we would not return.

What a fun experience!! Live music, great ambiance, and excellent service!!…read more When we walked in the room was filled with the smell of baking buttery croissants. I asked what that smell was and John said it croissants they make for the sandwiches but let us purchase one with jam. We had the wine tasting and found a new favorite, Mourvèdre, they were all good but this one stood out! John was super fun and informative, he made our experience memorable! We can't go back and maybe participate in some of the many events Elsom Cellars hosts.

Oh, Seattle Design Center...so much potential as a wedding and large event venue. Yet, so poorly…read moremanaged. Let me explain. We had a beautiful wedding at the Seattle Design Center in May 2012--both the ceremony and the reception in the Atrium (the largest room). The venue is gorgeous--ridiculously high ceilings, full of skylights that bring in natural light, neutral tile flooring, a gorgeous grand staircase--part of the second floor balcony. The square footage is enormous and could easily hold 500 people if you wanted to. The BIGGEST PERK of the SDC: you can bring in your own caterer. That, and it's quite reasonably priced compared to other Seattle venues that would hold 200 or more people The biggest downside: the people who are supposed to be helping you plan your wedding in fact know next to nothing about the wedding business--they are managers at Molly's Salads, the daytime food cart! After booking the SDC officially in April 2011 (13 months before our wedding), our SDC "wedding coordinator" changed THREE TIMES. That meant we had to connect with the newbie each and every time to make sure they could accommodate some of our special needs, like having a small religious fire for our ceremony (don't ask). And also confirming (again and again) the rehearsal time and date, as well as where the bridal party would have space for changing and storing stuff. Needless to say, we had to be very proactive in dealing with the SDC and made sure to get everything in writing. They provided very little outside of signing the contract and some tables and chairs. If it had not been for our stellar wedding planners of Blue Ribbon, this event could never have happened. Thus, I am torn--the SDC is a stunning venue, but really needs to focus on event management and hiring people who know what they are doing.

I've booked two fundraising auctions at SDC, and am about to sign a contract on a third. As the…read moreother review mentioned, they had some turnover, but since last Fall there has been one person in charge of booking, Jenifer, and she is GREAT. The rest of their event staff, the people who are on-site managers during the event, are amazing, too: they helped us with everything from weird electrical stuff to dimming the lights for the video portion to moving stacks of chairs over and over as we got the tables set up, and stayed to the bitter end as our worn out staff and volunteers cleaned up (they clean up their own tables and chairs, we rented additional tables and catering-ware which we had to secure for pick up). Both of our events there looked stunning, and our constituents (who have been to many venues over the years) have only given us positive feedback on the move. Plus it's reasonably-priced AND has its own parking lot. I think this is one of the best venues in the city, and I look forward to putting on more events there in the future.
