Bell Harbor gave us everything we wanted for our wedding. We absolutely loved the central location, the views and the bright, modern space. Guests raved about the food and the menu options gave us plenty to choose from. Antonio and his team were very helpful from the time we toured the venue to the day of, patiently answering all of our questions. The wraparound deck was perfect for cocktail hour and the ballroom gave more than enough space for our 240 guests and a dance floor. The proximity to the Marriott and parking garage made it easy for local and out of town guests to access the venue.

Bell Harbor was such an amazing venue to host our NYE wedding. We booked the main room and the roof top. Our event coordinator (Laurie) was so attentive to our needs and prompt with communication throughout all our planning. There were so many options provided by Bell Harbor and the views were spectacular. I highly recommend booking Bell Harbor!

We had both our rooftop ceremony and event center reception here. We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place for our wedding. We had a unique DIY type of wedding and they had the space and time to allow for us to do that! The staff was amazing, the space is gorgeous, and you're in the heart of Seattle. Every penny was worth it!

We actually had our ceremony and reception across the street at The World Trade Center (which is owned by Bell Harbor) and it was amazing! This place had everything: a beautiful view, excellent wait staff, a great venue coordinator, and the best menu!

We used the World Trade Center and the room is great with big windows that look out into the water. The food was awesome. However, it is a little pricey. They also got my name wrong in three out of the four signs (all different versions of my name). Come on, how do you get the bride's name wrong?

The only thing that I would have liked, is to brin gin our own alcohol. Leading up the wedding, we had a few bumps in the road, but the day of was impecable and the staff was amazing. I would totally refer this place to anyone!

Daneka was great, and helpful. We used the Maritime Event Center....it takes a little dressing up (walls/carpets a bit drab) but everything turned out beautifully with a little bit of effort and good planning. The food exceeded expectations. The location was convenient, especially if staying at the Marriott Waterfront or the Edgewater.

I had my wedding at Bell Harbor on July 23rd. It was so perfect. Everyone there was so helpful (the sales director, my wedding coordinator through bell harbor and the banquet manager) I had every specific requests on how I wanted my wedding to look and go. And they accommodated them all. I had my ceremony on the rooftop and it was so beautiful, had an excellent dinner in the dining room followed by a super fun reception!
