I can't imagine a better team (front and back of house) than Kimball and Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes . With all the set backs that happened with COVID, Kimball was great a communicating updates with safety protocols and working with us to find the...
best solution possible to meet our needs and make our wedding day one we wouldn't forget. The food was absolutely delicious. We got so many compliments on the choices, and honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the menu options. The staff was so wonderful and accommodating. They sent us off with a generous treat bag to make sure we enjoyed the food as much as our guests did.
I cannot say enough good things and highly recommend working with Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes and Kimball :)

Emily & Joseph, thank you for being so lovely to work with amid the challenges of the pandemic. I’m so glad you enjoyed going through all the changes together with us, and that you loved our food & service! Wishing you a long & happy marriage :...

Having our wedding reception at Melrose Market Studios was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Sara was our event producer and she was extremely sweet, prompt, and helpful from the very first email. She gave us lots of details and opti...
ons so that we could keep our budget in mind while making each decision, and helped us remember when our payment/planning deadlines were without making us feel rushed. Covid was always top of mind for us during planning and we were so thankful that Sara was always willing and able to answer our questions to the best of her ability, and keep us updated on the venue’s safety requirements even as guidelines changed rapidly. When we had a brief panic where we weren’t sure whether we’d be able to have the reception, Sara gave us a ton of options and kept us calm so we were able to figure out a plan to make our event happen.
We absolutely loved the space at Melrose, it has the ability to be exceptionally classy but wasn’t too stuffy for our punk rock sensibility. We were also extremely excited that Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes had not just one but TWO fully vegan menus that we could choose from and the food was absolutely incredible - especially the mushroom wellington that both vegan and non-vegan guests raved about. On the day of the event, Joe was our main contact and he was a joy to work with as well. He was friendly and helpful from the moment we walked into the venue and I thought it was so sweet that he made sure we got little plates of all the passed appetizers during cocktail hour so we didn’t forget to eat! The staff made sure to pack us boxes of each dish on the menu and slices of our cake, and even carefully extracted and packed up the sugar flowers from our cake so we could take them home safely.
After the event, Sara was available for our questions and followed up with us to make sure our deposit refund check was received.
I would recommend Melrose Market Studios, Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes, and D Squared to anyone for a wedding/reception or any other event. They truly helped create the perfect night for us!

Aniela & Evan,
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being the best, most flexible couple. COVID sure changed things up, but you were pros at thinking through all the options on the table. It was truly a pleasure to work with you and s...
ee your tastes and the things that are important to you come to life throughout the planning process! I’m so glad Melrose and our staff were everything you were looking for, and I wish you health & happiness as you continue your new life together.

Melrose was our dream venue, and our wedding day was a dream to fit. Every detail that we imagined was perfectly executed, from the linens to the silverware, to the centerpieces. We had a bit of a challenge when we dropped our neon sign off to ...
be installed on the wall and realized I didn’t think through how to hang it. Kimball came to the rescue and literally drove in rush hour traffic to get fishing like for us to make sure our sign was hung before our ceremony. The entire staff of Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes were attentive and kind and food was delicious. We were staffed with two bartenders and there was never a wait. Things ran smoothly the entire night so that my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves.
I cannot recommend Kimball enough. She honestly made everything so stress free, and made us feel like a friend instead of a client. She went above and beyond in every aspect of the year and day leading up to our wedding, and we feel so loved and cared for. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

Thank you, Ashley and Ed! We’re so glad to hear this day was everything you dreamed of. You both deserve it! Thanks for trusting us with your most important day, even through the unknowns of planning a wedding during COVID. We loved taking care...
of you!

We had our wedding booked with Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes catering and Melrose Market Studios on March 20th, 2020. We had to make some tough decisions while working with them through the Covid-19 pandemic. They were understanding of our situation...
and able to work with us on what the best steps were moving forward. We are excited to work with them on future events!
Melrose Market Studios & Tuxedos & Tennis Shoes Catering did an amazing job at executing our wedding reception. Throughout the planning stage, even with staff changes, Hanna Dillard and Emily Schiller were both extremely helpful. They answered ...
any of our questions in a timely manner, were flexible when we needed to make sudden changes, always positive and excited to help us with whatever we needed. The day of our wedding all the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, and on top of it! The food was absolutely amazing, all our guests could not stop raving about their meal that night. All the staff made sure we had anything we needed, they would continually check in on us and bring as additional drinks or food as we mingled with our guests. Even when we ran out of beer during our cocktail hour, the staff not only brought in more beer from their warehouse but at one point even went to the store to purchase more to ensure our guests could continue to enjoy their drink of choice. Our wedding reception was absolutely perfect, thank you to the amazing staff at Melrose Market Studios. We highly recommend Melrose Market Studios as one of the top wedding venues in Seattle!

If you are looking for a beautiful venue with amazing catering, amazing customer service, awesome staff and the BEST coordinator around... look no further! Melrose Market Studios was a dream come true to work with! I cannot say ONE bad thing. T...
here wasn’t one thing I’d change and I can gush about everything. First, the venue is beautiful and a great canvas for an intimate evening celebrating love. It’s lighting is perfection for beautiful photos and the setup makes it easy to host a lot of people. The venue is clean and comes with great lights, a nice bathroom, a back area to store and also to have a place to hide before the ceremony.
The staff. Now I am a real stickler when it comes to customer service... The coordinator for the venue and catering, Hanna Dillard is an absolute blessing! She is responsive, flexible, easy to work with, organized, efficient, helpful and truly made this experience amazing. There were cheaper places but none that came with her! We went a little over budget but she made it possible to spend the money where we wanted and how we wanted! Can’t say enough good things about working with her. The staff was THE BEST. Bartenders, servers, the opener to the space.. she was just there to open doors but ended up helping decorate and it was beautiful because of her! The staff made our wedding stress free and really helped out with everything.
I can’t recommend this place enough, seriously. THE BEST!! Costs are extremely competitive. They do it the right way. Catering company first, venue second. Meaning customer service and ability to work with couples to make their dream come true!

ted and show up to the best day ever! The staff is so incredible, everyone was a calming and attentive presence. The food was AMAZING!! And I have heard that from every guest I have spoken with since! They are really fleixble with how to do the bar and alcohol as well.
I can't say enough how beautiful and warm the space is, so easy to decorate with almost nothing you need to add! Very flexible space too to accommodate however you'd like to set up!
Thanks a million!

Thank you Michelle! You two were wonderful to work with as well! Your sense of fun and receptiveness made everything a breeze :D So glad you loved the way everything turned out! - Hanna
This space would be beautiful if you didn't decorate it at all and is only made more so by whatever you bring into it.
We highlighted the urban-rustic feel of the space with lots of greenery and simple paper pennants.
The sound system in ...
the space is good, but I would recommend bringing your own mics for toasts or asking more questions than we did.
The directional mic cut out if speakers moved around (which is normal with directional mics) and the lapel mic was out of batteries the day of our wedding.
I wish the rental fee was a little less expensive, *however* they do give you access to the space for the full day with rental, which is not standard with many venues.
