We had our wedding reception at Sometimes at Pioneer Island and it was such a beautiful place to celebrate with our family and friends. The scenery is gorgeous, it made the perfect...
backdrop for photos. There were so many great photo opportunities around the property.
Alex was great to work with throughout the process. He was helpful, easy to communicate with, and very willing to work with us to make sure everything went smoothly.
They have amazing bartenders/staff that make sure everyone is taken care of throughout the night. All our guests raved about the service!
If you're looking for a venue with beautiful views and amazing staff, we would definitely recommend Sometimes!
