    Amazing experience!

    Ally (our wedding planner through the 101) and the 101 team were absolutely wonderful in helping us plan our celebration and the venue was perfect. They truly made us feel like we were their only clients. The venue has so much character, yet it's so customizable depending on how you want it set up. I can't recommend Ally enough - she was SO on top of everything for us so we didn't have to stress at all. I don't know how they do it so gracefully (I would be stressed out of my mind with so many events going on) - the service really is above and beyond.

    Thank you so much for the review Lainey! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience here with us at THE 101. We hope you are enjoying the newly married life :-)

    Incredible venue

    The 101 was an incredible venue! absolutely beautiful and easy to decorate interior and a fantastic location for a Seattle wedding. I felt very supported by the staff throughout the whole process as well. I loved that they have so much flexibility with you using your own vendors (plus they allow you to supply your own alcohol which saves a lot of money)!

    Thank you so much for the glowing review Jamie! Your wedding was so beautiful and we loved being able to be apart of it!

    Recommend The 101

    My partner and I booked our NYE wedding at the 101 and added the partial planning package on (with a few other additions). The team at the 101 are amazing, they kept us moving forward and on track with all of our bookings and when we were stumped on how to get where we wanted to be, they had very helpful ideas and suggestions. Our wedding was spectacular, and they were just a huge part of making it so.
    The space is expansive and totally customizable, we had so much fun coming up with décor ideas and they all worked because of the flexibility of the space; some of the decor included multiple disco balls hanging from the ceiling, a balloon net for a balloon drop at midnight, tape decorations on the walls, etc.
    Having the 24-hr rental period was a lifesaver, being able to leave that night and not have to worry about bringing everything out at that moment was amazing. We returned in the morning and gathered all of our leftover belongings knowing they were safely stored for us overnight. Which on NYE was very helpful, and meant we didn't have to pay additional vendor fees for a pickup after midnight on a holiday.

    The 101's reply:

    Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We loved being apart of the wedding planning process with you. We will never forget the ICONIC balloon drop at midnight either! It was a beautiful night to remember.

    Highly Recommend The 101!

    We got married at The 101 this fall, and I could not recommend using this venue enough!! The space is BEAUTIFUL, and that's just the beginning. We were able customize our wedding to make it personal, thanks to their flexible policies. Their team was a joy to work with as well - always going above and beyond with their customer service! We were very happy with how our wedding turned out, and a huge part of that was due to the wonderful space and team at The 101!

    The Perfect Wedding Venue!

    We had our wedding reception at The 101 and could not have asked for a better venue! The space was the perfect blank canvas for us to make our vision come to life. Emily and Alison were both professional and quick to respond to us with any questions we had during the planning process. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend!

    The 101's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind review Jessica! We loved hosting your special day and seeing how you transformed the space!

    Dream Wedding Come True

    A year ago I got married to the love of my life here and it was amazing. The staff at The 101 were able to answer all of our questions, both about the venue and about wedding ceremonies in general, giving us a lot of help figuring out what we wanted and what vendors to choose. They helped make the best day of my life possible. The venue itself is pretty spacious too!

    The 101's reply:

    Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We are honored that you trusted us to help plan your special day! It was such a fun night that that we are glad to have been a part of.

    A beautiful experience and wedding at the 101

    What an amazing venue and staff! We worked with Sara who was fabulous and extremely accommodating. The venue itself is gorgeous with beautiful light and we couldn't have been happier about choosing the 101 for our wedding. Gordon was the night manager for the day of the event and he was so helpful and easy to work with. We are SO happy that we were lucky enough to work with this venue!!

    SaeternItUp wedding come true!

    Due to COVID. We did not just postpone our wedding once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!

    THE 101 was so amazing about adjusting their schedule towards our needs. We were so impressed from the beginning. The communication was impeccable, the response time was quick!

    The venue is an open canvas. So that allowed my husband & I to be creative in so many ways. From our floral to our decor. But of course, we wanted it to be minimal because the venue itself was already gorgeous! Red brick wall, white brick wall & our favorite GLASS WINDOWS!!!

    THE 101 team has so many great people. Everyone on the team was very thoughtful & kind. I don't think I would've wanted my wedding anywhere else than THE 101!!!

    The 101's reply:

    Hi Cherish, Thank you SO much for your 5 star review! We absolutely LOVED working with you and Ricky throughout this journey and your wedding was truly magical for us all :) Thank you for entrusting us with your special day!

    PNWP Monthly Mingle Meeting

    Recently we hosted a networking group meeting at The 101 and we had a 5 out of 5 stars experience! We worked with Grace and from start to finish she was pleasant, welcoming, responsive, and super professional. During our meeting she and her counterpart were great hosts and went above and beyond to help all our guests feel welcomed. Besides the friendliness of the staff, the venue it’s self can hold it’s on. The open space leaves so much room for creative expression. As a florist myself I was excited to see the exposed brick in one area, white wall in another, and big floor to ceiling windows in another! Lastly, they have a preferred vendor list of talented and reliable professionals who can meet all you wedding or special event needs. We recommend The 101 to anyone looking for the perfect venue for their intimate wedding or event!

    One of the best venues in Seattle

    The 101 is one of my favorite venues in Seattle! In the heart of Pioneer Square it’s so convenient for your event and I LOVE how the space is so versatile. With the red brick, white brick and huge windows there are so many different backdrops that you can create multiple different vibes and because everything is neutral you can really make it anything you want it to be. Grace and Sara are so great to deal with and everything was just so seamless and easy. Excited to go back for another event in October, if not before!

    The best venue EVER.

    From start to finish, The 101 staff was the best. Sara was SO on top of it. They had amazing recs for other vendors, but were not at all pushy. Ultimately, my dreams came to life in a major way and our day was perfect. Cannot recommend The 101 enough!!!

    Awesome experience

    The 101 was the perfect venue for our wedding on July 20th, 2019. It allowed us the flexibility to pick what we want to do and how we want to decorate. We had about 185 and it was a big enough spot where you didn’t crowded at all. Sara is a great wedding coordinator and really easy to work with. We would throw another party at the 101 just to work with her again. Her and Gordon came through in the clutch multiple times on the wedding day! We never were worried and that allowed us to focus on the day. Thanks again for all your help!

    great for dancing

    As a wedding DJ I see hundreds of venues. If you are lookin for a hip space in the city with LOTS of space I recommend this venue. I would recommend 32 uplights and 4 speakers to round out the sound. Anything less will look sparse. With the right dance lights and speakers this can make your dance party feel like a club

    Best. Wedding. Decision. Ever!

    I got married at The 101 on July 6, 2019. Not only am I lucky to have gotten married before the pandemic hit, but I am so lucky to have gotten married at The 101.
    There were so many things I loved about our wedding - but The 101 and my Sarah Seven dress are tied for first place.

    I discovered The101 before it was even open. I toured when it was under construction and fell in love with the space the minute I stepped foot in the door - even though it was covered in dust and tarps. Actually I think I fell in love with it just walking up alongside the building, with the brick, and perfect Pioneer Square Doors and incredible hanging flower pots. And when the space was finally done - it was perfect to me. It was modern without being too modern, a little rustic with the beams and brick, had incredible lighting at all times of the day - with the floor to ceiling windows that gave a sense of openness and made you feel good about having an indoor wedding on a beautiful summer day.

    I also very much enjoyed planning our wedding with my 101 Coordinator. She was extremely responsive and on top of things, and helped me work thru all the changes that fell in my way. Because the space was such a beautiful blank slate, it was a fun challenge to plan our big day from where the DJ would be, to where the ceremony would happen to how the direction of the tables for dinner. From day one I knew that everything was under control and taken care of. I enjoyed the planning process with my Coordinator (who I now consider a friend) so much I would do it over and over again if I could!

    And then there was the big day. It went off without a hitch. Everything was better than I even could have even imagined. Countless guests came up to me to tell me how beautiful and wonderful the venue was. I was not surprised - I already knew this. BEST. WEDDING. DECISION. EVER!

    The 101's reply:

    Hi Amy, Thank you SO MUCH for you thoughtful review! We absolutely loved being a part of your special day! We aim to please so we are beyond delighted that we were able to meet your needs and that you and all your guests had a wonderful time! We appreciate your confidence in us and look forward to hopefully working with you again!

    Love this blank slate with plenty of character

    The 101 in Seattle is a gem. With its floor to ceiling windows, red brick walls, white brick walls and exposed beams and wood pillars - this open venue lends itself to lots of character. You can dress it up, or keep it simple and it still has plenty of charm. I love they allow you to bring in furniture & bars to your liking to enhance the look and feel of your event. Happy Hour Designer Bars has great bars to choose from!

    The staff is wonderful to work with and very flexible.
    This venue gets a star rating in my book- easy access, friendly staff and reasonable flexibility.

    The 101 is a unique and versatile space in the heart of Pioneer Square

    The 101 is everything I look for in a venue - it has the character of old Pioneer Square, but not so much that you can't make it your own. It has floor to ceiling windows for tons of natural light, so you can have great portraits and ceremony photos, even on a rainy day. It's also such a big space that you can easily separate into your ceremony/dinner/dance areas.

    Amazing Venue

    I fell in love when I first saw the 101, even my husband too. We booked this place immediately and we are so grateful that Alison helped us out so much. I had so many questions and concerns since I had never done this before. She is definitely above and beyond. This venue is gorgeous and they have all the things you need, chairs tables, cocktail tables, and many other things. I really happy I got so many cute photos and this venue made us so happy

    Easy choice for our venue

    Having our wedding ceremony and reception at the 101 was an easy choice. We wanted a city environment for our wedding and the not only was the venue location perfect for that but the amenities and service provided had the choice even easier. We appreciated all of the different options for the event that the venue provided and were happily assisted throughout the process by the staff. We felt assured on our special day due to the addition of security which gave us peace of mind for us and our guests. For anyone looking for a city environment, the 101 is a stellar venue due to their amenities, modern feel and great service.

    The 101's reply:

    We are so glad that you chose us for your wedding day! It was such a beautiful night filled with with incredible memories! We wish you a lifetime of happiness together.
