Reviews of The Graduate Seattle
Wedding reception bliss!
The staff were helpful from the very beginning of the process, working closely with us to figure out various options that would make the day truly special and personal to us, and answering all our questions promptly. It was really nice to deal with just one place since they provided almost everything for the reception, including good food, music, and wonderful cocktails. There was enough seating for our ~70 guests, with options for both sun and some shade in the outdoor spaces.
The day-of staff were also wonderful, checking in on us to keep us updated or ask a few questions discretely to keep everything going according to plan. They coordinated with the recommended decorator and the cake delivery on the day so that was all seamless.
The lobby is gorgeous for pictures so we had both First Look pictures before the ceremony and marriage license signing pictures there after the ceremony. Taking the special elevator up to the Mountaineering Club also made our guests feel extra special, and we loved that renting out the whole space meant that we could include our friends with kids.
Of course, the views are simply amazing from The Mountaineering Club, almost 360 degrees! Looking back on our wedding day after a few weeks have passed, we are really happy that we chose the Graduate Seattle for our reception!
Also, the view from the suite was amazing and it looked right out at my church which was pretty cool :)
