Step one of planning a wedding is finding the right venue so when we come across a cool venue, we just HAVE to share it with all of you! Meet The Edgewater Hotel: This historic Seattle venue is literally over the water! No, not near the water, ON it. But don’t worry, it’s not floating, so no one’s getting seasick! And not only is the design of this hotel architecturally unique, but the interior design is what really made us fall in love. Its warm nature-infused Scandi vibe is giving Hygge. You and your guests will feel right at home, you won’t want to leave…and you don’t have to! The best part about booking at a hotel venue is that you and your guests can stay on-property!

“This was an absolutely stunning venue for our wedding. We had so many guests tell us that it was one of the best (if not the best) weddings they had ever been to, and the venue and food quality played a huge role in that. We even had a cruise ship go by during our ceremony which was so unique and reminded our guests we were ON the water!”- Allie G.

A VENUE WITH A VIEW
