THE 101 — Attraction in Seattle

This review is for our wedding that took place on 08/17/24. First things first, do not hesitate to choose The 101. From the very start of taking a tour of the venue with Emily, we knew it was the perfect venue for our special day. We went with the partial planning package, and from day 1, Alison was incredible—constantly checking in, offering guidance, and ensuring every detail was covered. She kept an open line of communication and contacted vendors on our behalf when needed. As our big day was approaching, Alison shared great news with us that caused her to unfortunately miss our wedding. Throughout the process, she reassured us with every step of the way that the transition to our day-of coordinator, Sam, would be seamless. When the big day arrived, Sam took over without missing a beat. She made sure we didn't have to lift a single finger and made it stress-free from the morning through the night. We could not be more appreciative of how well Sam took care of not only us, but our entire group of friends and family as well. The entire team at The 101 was beyond organized, handling everything with care and professionalism. They ensured we, as the bride and groom, had everything we needed at all times, making us feel truly taken care of.

Now for the venue itself, it is stunning, versatile, open, and welcoming. The amount of natural lighting that shines through during an August summer made for the perfect photos. One of the biggest highlights and deal-makers for us was how they are dog-friendly, allowing our dog Milo to be our ring bearer and part of our special day. That meant the world to us, and we appreciate how welcoming the staff made Milo feel.

If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, well-run, professional, and incredibly accommodating, look no further. Alison, Sam, and Emily made our wedding day absolutely perfect. Highly, highly recommended!

Thank you again, The 101 team! We are...

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. BEST. WEDDING....

It’s hard to put into words just how incredible The 101 was throughout the entire experience. From the very beginning before we even decided, they were the easiest venue to book a tour and communicate our ideas with. We really struggled with other venues being accommodating with our working schedules, and the 101 was so easy to work with.

We used their partial planning services and it was worth every penny. Alison helped us bring every dream we had to life, even when we changed our mind or went back and forth. She communicated with our vendors, saw to every detail, was very responsive to our emails, and most importantly, she was incredibly supportive and kind! Every second of the day was accounted for and every decision was made ahead of time.

And the actual day of… wow. We knew it would go well because we trusted them, but we had no idea just how amazing they would truly be. Sam and Emily set the place up perfectly. And when things came up throughout the day, they handled everything smoothly.

There were so many special details they paid attention to, but what blew me away the most was how they always made sure we were taken care of. When we needed a moment away after the ceremony they made sure we got that. They made sure we were fed (which is so important and often overlooked on your wedding day!) and kept the day flowing according to our plan.

We cannot imagine booking with a different venue. The 101 was genuinely happy and excited for us and we appreciate all of the hard work that went into making our special...
