About This Vendor
Blank Canvas Space in Seattle for your Wedding
The 101 is a wedding and event venue located in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, WA. This contemporary space allows you to customize your special day, evoking your ideal aesthetic. The setting features industrial design elements that can be dressed up or left minimalistic, according to the vibe of your big day. The 101 is one of Seattle’s hidden gems, a multi-purpose event space with endless potential. It is located in what is known as Seattle’s ‘first neighborhood’, Pioneer Square, imbuing it with a rich sense of history. You and your loved ones will adore celebrating in this beautiful district, which is known for its architecture, art scene, and electrifying nightlife. The space itself is equipped to host both your ceremony and reception. You can set up seating for your ceremony in front of the generous windows, bathing the room in natural light. You can exchange your vows against a backdrop of the gorgeous street view. Following this, the room can be flipped to accommodate a reception of up to 200 guests seated banquet-style. Room dividers can split the area as it’s rearranged, allowing you and your guests to enjoy a cocktail reception in the meantime. Your dining and after-dinner dancing can take place in this hospitable hall which can be illuminated with warm lighting as the sun sets. Along with a dynamic event space, The 101 offers an exclusive event planning service to couples that wish to use it. You can collaborate with the events team for full wedding coordination, day-of services, or a la carte options such as vendor recommendations. In order to further customize your event, outside vendors are welcomed by the management. A prep kitchen is located on-site so your catering team can deliver your wedding meal in a timely manner. For the convenience of you and your guests, the entire building is wheelchair accessible. It is also pet-friendly for those that wish to include their furry friends in their special day.

I got married at The 101 on July 6, 2019. Not only am I lucky to have gotten married before the pandemic hit, but I am so lucky to have gotten married at The 101.
There were so many things I loved about our wedding - but The 101 and my Sarah Se...
ven dress are tied for first place.
I discovered The101 before it was even open. I toured when it was under construction and fell in love with the space the minute I stepped foot in the door - even though it was covered in dust and tarps. Actually I think I fell in love with it just walking up alongside the building, with the brick, and perfect Pioneer Square Doors and incredible hanging flower pots. And when the space was finally done - it was perfect to me. It was modern without being too modern, a little rustic with the beams and brick, had incredible lighting at all times of the day - with the floor to ceiling windows that gave a sense of openness and made you feel good about having an indoor wedding on a beautiful summer day.
I also very much enjoyed planning our wedding with my 101 Coordinator. She was extremely responsive and on top of things, and helped me work thru all the changes that fell in my way. Because the space was such a beautiful blank slate, it was a fun challenge to plan our big day from where the DJ would be, to where the ceremony would happen to how the direction of the tables for dinner. From day one I knew that everything was under control and taken care of. I enjoyed the planning process with my Coordinator (who I now consider a friend) so much I would do it over and over again if I could!
And then there was the big day. It went off without a hitch. Everything was better than I even could have even imagined. Countless guests came up to me to tell me how beautiful and wonderful the venue was.
As a planner, I love working at The 101 because not only the the staff friendly, professional and accommodating, they are easy to work with, timely, communicative, and supportive before, during and even after the event. One of the best venues i...
n Seattle to work with, and you get to take in the exposed bricks for that classic Pioneer Square vibe with a modern twist and a huge space to make your vision come to life. Plus, you're surrounded by the city and the water for amazing photos! I love THE 101!
Response from the Vendor on 05/25/2022
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We hope we get the chance to work with you again in the future :-)
We ultimately had three wedding dates due to Covid. The 101 was great at helping us move our wedding around. Emily was very helpful and responsive. She went above and beyond the weekend of our wedding. The space is great--we ultimately had a fa...
irly small wedding (~60 people) and we were able to use the space as a ceremony, dinner, and reception space without moving things around throughout the night. The perks of a 24 hour rental are not to be ignored as we were able to come back the following morning and finish packing up the venue. I would highly recommend checking it out and seeing if it works for your wedding vision!
Absolutely do not use this venue!!! They took $5,000 from us and all they did was show us around a couple of times. We tried to even just broker a deal only get half of our money back, due to Covid, but they refused. They were completely unsymp...
athetic to our situation, took our money, and we never heard from them again. If I could give them negative stars I would. They took almost weeks sometimes to get back to us, took all of our money for doing nothing, and did not seem to care about their customers at all. PLEASE save yourself some heartache, and use a different venue. And if you do use them, do not give them a single CENT until you absolutely have to.
We had a wedding planned in April 2020. Due to Covid-19, the city had shut down all gatherings and we could not go through with our original wedding plans. It was to our great disappointment that the 101 made these unexpected changes even worse...
when they refused to give us back ANY money. This was unreasonable considering they were not able to provide us any services. We lost 6k and we know that many other wedding venues have been much more understanding and forgiving in this area. We are sad and disappointed by this.
The 101 is one of my favorite venues in Seattle! In the heart of Pioneer Square it’s so convenient for your event and I LOVE how the space is so versatile. With the red brick, white brick and huge windows there are so many different backdrops t...
hat you can create multiple different vibes and because everything is neutral you can really make it anything you want it to be. Grace and Sara are so great to deal with and everything was just so seamless and easy. Excited to go back for another event in October, if not before!
THE 101 is such a perfect location for any event at the heart of Seattle. The staff running the location are incredibly accommodating and responsive! We would definitely recommend THE 101 for any event from wedding to video productions.
I loved having my wedding at THE 101 - the space is spacious and stunning, and it was perfect for me since I planned my entire wedding. Having the vendor flexibility is so great. The team was also so amazing to work with, both leading up to the...
day, and during the event.
We rented the space the day before the wedding, which was a game changer for set up and prep. If you have the budget to do this, I HIGHLY recommend it. Once we costed out the rehearsal dinner at nearby restaurants, it wasn't that much more expensive to just rent THE 101.
Some things to be aware of: getting the venue at 10am on the day of the wedding means you may not be able to have a rehearsal the night before and load in/set up is very tight.
Other highlights:
The tables and chairs they provide are great
The venue doesn't need much decor
They provide you access to All Seated to design your seating chart/design/etc. and it was really helpful
The 101 and their team made my wedding day perfect. I always felt like I was in great hands and I had zero stress on the day of because I knew that my coordinator had everything all set (and I had 260 people at my wedding!). They have great rel...
ationships with so many different vendors, and truly made my dreams come true. I would highly, highly recommend this venue to anyone.
Amazing space in the heart of downtown Seattle! Everyone on the 101 team was so helpful and responded very quickly any time I tried to get a hold of them.

Thank you so much for the great review! We are thrilled that you had a great experience with our team, and THE 101!
As professional event and interior designers, our team visits and works in a lot of spaces in and around Seattle. We were thrilled to recently discover The 101 and throw a large holiday party for one of our favorite corporate clients.

e- The 101 is a gorgeous venue with brick walls, huge windows and space for days. Each detail was custom designed for the space and our client. We so enjoyed transforming the space into a winter wonderland! The 101 has great bones and a blank canvas allowing for a great deal of creativity in bringing your vision to life.
We can't wait to get back and work with their phenomenal team.
I am a production manager for The Big Fake Wedding and we recently hosted our Seattle event, with 250 + guests, at The 101 and it was remarkable. The venue is located right in Pioneer Square, a lively and fun part of town. The interior of the s...
pace is gorgeous with multiple textures that allow for diversity of creativity with your backdrops. There are brick walls, white brick walls, simple white walls, and floor to ceiling windows that allow for gorgeous natural light to stream through. The space is really a beautiful canvas for any social event, styled shoot, or wedding.
As if the space was not stellar enough, the staff was so great to work with. Sara and Gordon primarily aided us and they were so pleasant, professional, and willing to accomodate our event needs well.
Overall, our experience at The 101 was fabulous. From start to finish they made us feel cared for and supported. I would highly recommend the 101 to anyone searching for their next event venue.
