We couldn't have been happier with how the venue turned out. The decorations were wonderful. The outdoor rooftop ceremony was beautiful. Catering was well done. The package options for food and drinks were great. Staff was very helpful and made everything possible down to the last detail. Catering and decor bundled into one location made things easy.

I've always thought the location was scenic, beautiful, and spacious with good food and service from previous event I had attended here. When it came time to look for a wedding venue last summer, this was obviously on our list. From our initial e-mail communication and scoping out of the venue, we had a great experience from the very professional sales manager, and we decided this was the right place for our big day. Our event manager was also very kind to help us, answer questions, set up our tasting, venue walk-through, and handled our last minute changes from start to finish, and left us with only great memories of our planning and wedding day. Our guests complimented us on the beautiful space, the fresh and delicious (good portions!) dinner that was served quickly, and interesting exhibits. As bride and groom, we felt the service was wonderful especially when they were trying to get dinner and beverages to us as soon as possible. We had a great wedding day, thanks to Bell ...

What a beautiful and perfect location to showcase Seattle's waterfront and city views. We had a lot of guests traveling in from out of town, most of whom had never been to Seattle so we really wanted to show off what Seattle has to offer. We looked at several venues around the city but when offered the chance to get married on the rooftop and hold our reception inside and outside by the waterfront we couldn't pass up the opportunity. Bell Harbor made everything so easy for us, by providing their own food and beverage service we didn't have to go out and find a caterer. They also provided us with a wedding coordinator, that I emailed at least 10 times a week, who was invaluable as she was so knowledgeable and willing to help. Our day went off perfectly and all the venue staff were great and polite. Our guests loved being able to see the great views of the sound and Mt. Rainier as we said our "I Dos" and then be able to eat and dance in a room that looked like you were on a bo... Read moreat as well as being able to walk outside and be right next to the water. We couldn't have been happier with the venue we chose.

we had our dream come true! Great place- great service- great! great! great! Best view of Seattle!

The Bell Harbor International Conference Center is such an amazing wedding venue! We had our wedding there in March. We got really lucky with the weather. We had always wanted our wedding to have an amazing view so we had our ceremony on the conference center’s rooftop plaza. What an amazing view! The reception room options are also amazing and have the same breathtaking views. Since half of our guests were from out of town we wanted to showcase Seattle’s beauty and Bell Harbor did just that. There are also a ton of hotel options close by so it’s a convenient location. The Bell Harbor team is so wonderful and helpful. They really made our day amazing! Everyone was so kind and professional. Laurie, the event manager is awesome and we weren’t just another client to her, she made us feel special. She and Carissa were so accommodating throughout the planning process. Their communication was great and they were on top of everything. The in-house catering is so delicious and ... Read morethere’s so many options to choose from. It may be a bit pricey, but compared to other venues who charge similarly, Bell Harbor is totally worth it. You get amazing food and beverages, outstanding service, friendly staff, and a beautiful location for your special day!

Bell Harbor was such an amazing venue for our July 19 wedding!! The weather was perfect and we had our ceremony up on the rooftop where you could see everything! The reception was downstairs in the Harbor Room and was great! The staff was very nice and courteous! Jennifer was a huge help throughout the planning process! All of our guests told us that was one of the best venues that they had ever been to!

I recently had my NYE wedding at Bell Harbor, in the Maritime Event Center. It was amazing! From the planning, to the food, to the service, everything was top notch. Our event manager Delisha was responsive and always willing to help in whatever we needed. Our guest list started off a little too big, and Delisha made a plan for if we had too many guests. Luckily we ended up not having an issue, but their flexibility did not go unnoticed! Our guests raved about the food and all of the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating! Thank you Bell Harbor!

Overall, the quality of service, wedding package options, menu, and price were reasonable and very well done! ABSOLUTELY NO COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF FOOD OR SERVICE. One main concern, however, is to look into your outside options/resources for any additional technical needs: if you need them to provide an LCD projector, the additional fee is pretty high compared to owning/bringing in your own (so I guess you have to ask yourself if the cost is worth it for extra convenience); same thing with speakers and, of course, lighting, etc. Example, say you need one microphone, the base cost is possibly about $50 each mic (cord, not cordless), plus state tax and additional service fee (~+25% total), meaning one microphone to borrow for your event is another $62 added to your bill. Again, the location and service is awesome -- but if they could lower their additional costs for all the little tech support needs (or have some tech support package deals with more reasonable prices), that ...

I had my wedding here last Summer and it was quite disappointing. When we originally viewed the venue, we fell in love with the Seattle waterfront view and knew it was where we wanted to get married. Although, they did not advise there would be a gangway on the waterfront in the Summer destructing the view. It came as a surprise as we visited the venue again a a couple months before the wedding. When we asked about it, they said it was an active cruise terminal so it is a fixture in place throughout the cruise season but this fixture was not disclosed up front. Bell Harbor is very strict with timing therefore you are only allowed in within your contracted agreement time. We arrived an hour earlier and were forced to wait in the lobby and didn't have access to our ceremony room to start set up a little earlier. Also, since it is an active cruise terminal the cruise ship blocks your view until they take off. We were advised it is typically around 3-4pm when the cruise ship departs, but... Read more on our wedding day it didn't leave until closer to 5pm. The food provided at the tasting was excellent and we were so excited about it, but when it came down to the wedding day, the food served was not the same. The halibut was dry and overcooked. The presentation was also sloppy in comparison to the tasting. Some guest did not receive dressing with their salad. A few weeks after our wedding, a friend told me she went to another wedding here and said the fish and steak were both overcooked then as well. She also mentioned that they saw a mouse in the lobby! Disgusting. All in all, I would not recommend Bell Harbor as it seems the venue is going down hill as far as food and service. I regret booking my wedding here.

We had our wedding here in August and it was nothing less than perfect. We dealt with a few minor hiccups, like the cruise ship being 3 hours delayed, but it actually worked out for the best. Just be wary of cruise ships if you have a summer wedding and know that they don't leave till 4-5, so plan your wedding after that. Our coordinator, Gradee was wonderful to work with and everything flowed perfectly. We were in the harbor room and you can't really beat the view. We had a beautiful summer sunset right over the water and all of our guests raved about the waterfront venue. The guests also raved about the food (and some still haven't stopped talking about it). We did a buffet with chicken, steak and salmon and it was delicious. The buffet is a little more expensive, but your guests can eat as much as they want, and we had many people go back for seconds. We added some decor and up lighting, because it's a conference room and not decorated for a wedding, but we covered the conferenc... Read moree chairs and had drapery and lights hanging from the ceiling. We booked about a year and a half early because we had a long engagement, so we ended up getting half off the room rental and all of the 2013 prices, so book early if you can. All and all, it was a wonderful wedding at a wonderful venue.

Wonderful staff experience from the day we booked last June until now. Very attentive and professional employees. They made our wedding a night we will never forget.

We recently had a wedding (ceremony + reception) at the Maritime Event Center and it exceeded our expectations. Jennifer Johnson was our venue coordinator and she was amazing to work with. She was very quick to respond to our numerous emails and agreed to host multiple venue visits just to make sure we knew where things would go. The service staff were all great to work with and super helpful the day before and the day of. I would highly recommend holding a wedding at Bell Harbor since everyone was so easy to work with (especially Jennifer!!!).

We were married on the rooftop of the Bell Harbor Convention Center, and it was gorgeous. The event manager we worked with was very laid back and flexible, however she wasn't always very responsive (and even double-booked herself when we were supposed to be touring the venue, so she left us to handle other customers in the middle of our appointment). We used the rooftop for a cocktail hour after the ceremony, and the food, drinks and service were all excellent. There is everything needed for music up there as well, so our band offer excellent background music. Everyone at the venue is very polite and we were extremely happy with the venue overall!

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?
