Cheers to you as you enter this exciting new stage of life! As you start your engagement period, you might be planning a soiree to celebrate and we can't think of a more beautiful space to do so than Seattle, WA. Known as "Emerald City" for its lush, natural landscaping, it would make for an ultra-pretty backdrop at any time of year.
So where do you start? From private dining rooms in Pioneer Square to a wide open space in South Lake Union where you can soak up some summer sun, the Giggster app will streamline your search for somewhere to mark this special occasion.
Hosting private events can get expensive, especially where big ticket vendors are concerned. Thankfully, finding the ideal venue doesn't have to blow your whole wedding budget right off the cuff. Our pricing is designed to offer the best combination of quality and value.
Ready to find a venue you love almost as much as your spouse-to-be? The Giggster app is the only tool you'll need to find your perfect match.
From an intimate gathering to an all-out bash with every acquaintance you’ve ever made, you deserve to celebrate your upcoming nuptials your way. With the perfect venue, your sweet love, and a little creativity working together, an unforgettable event is a promise.
How about an adults-only trip to some of the city’s more kid-friendly attractions? Ideal for the couple just here for a good time, our play spaces include everything from virtual reality arenas to bowling and everything in between.
Or, if you want to fully embrace the Pacific Northwest lifestyle, treat your guests to a dose of wilderness right here in the city limits. With floating homes, cabins in the woods, and glamping tents up for grabs, we’re the right fit for the outdoorsy couple who can’t seem to escape the granola aesthetic.
Those who fancy themselves to be the epitome of style should look no further than a Seattle art gallery. With top-notch exhibits, fine wine, and passed bites, we can’t imagine anything more sophisticated.
Need something that gets the job done without all the fuss? Many of the city’s top condo and office buildings boast club lounge rooms you can rent for private events. With fine furniture and space to mingle, they’re impressive in an understated sort of way.
Maybe you want to mark the occasion with a little hangout sesh—nothing more. This sounds like the job for a local cafe. A cup of joe, a slice of cake, and a chance to say congrats, what more could you need?

Advantages
Seattle’s outdoor landscape is surprisingly lush and beautiful. From the sparkling waterfront of the Puget Sound to vibrant green parks, there’s plenty of natural scenery to serve as a backdrop for an outdoor event.
Looking to recommend some excursions and activities to your guests while they are in the area? There’s an endless selection of things to do in town from the iconic Space Needle to the Olympic Sculpture Park.
Are you a java nut? Seattle is known for its coffee and collection of local bean roasters, so treat yourself to a cup or two.
Disadvantages
Like most cities, traffic control is not Seattle’s strong suit. Expect delays, and not just during rush hour.
While there are plenty of lovely days in the Pacific Northwest, you’ll want to keep an eye on the weather forecast. Nearly daily rain (or the accompanying gloom) is not only common, but it’s also unpredictable.
The tourism scene in Seattle is strong, but this leads to high competition and corresponding price surges. Book early and avoid peak tourist times if you want the best rates.
Whether an outdoor patio, breathtaking views of the city skyline, or a sophisticated ambiance is top of your party wish list, we can help you find a great space, from hidden gem to iconic landmark.
Industrial Event Venues – Rustic Charm Abound. Okay, so you have a lot of friends. So many, in fact, that every time you try to work on your guest list it grows, featuring a different assortment of names. You’re going to want a specialized event venue, then, with ample space for everyone, and the ability to transform into anything your heart desires.
Bars – Bubbles for the Bride to Be. A toast to the happy couple is clearly in order, so perhaps heading to a bar for your celebration is your perfect match. You’ll find a wide range of vibes in the nightlife establishments too, suiting everyone from the vineyard-going wine snobs to the prolific clubber who wants to dance all night long.
Rooftop Terraces – 360-Degree Skylines. The Seattle skyline is a masterpiece—why not make it the focal point of your event? With al fresco dining, fire pit lounges, and of course, a marvellous view, there are very few parties that scenery like this wouldn’t improve.
Private Estates – Historic, Mid-Century or Modern Homes. Everyone loves a good house party, but not everyone has a good house to throw a party in. Let someone else’s homestead set the scene this time ‘round and you can take advantage of cozy living spaces, fully functional kitchens, and big backyards.
You don’t need a degree in event planning to make one of our beautiful event venues work for you. With some grit and a few of these pro tips up your sleeve, hosting an unforgettable engagement party is easier than ever.
Pair a Surprise Party with Your Proposal – When you’ve found the perfect spot, why not take advantage of it? Invite your loved ones out to view the main event or have them waiting in the wings for a surprise party on engagement day!
Display Photos from Your Engagement Photo Shoots – Put out a coffee table book, a poster-sized welcome sign, or a few framed prints here and there. Don’t have any yet? Take some photos through the streets of downtown Seattle by some of the most iconic landmarks to commemorate the occasion. Capitol Hill, the shores of Lake Washington, and the Pike Place Market are good starting points.
Seek Out Local Musicians That Can Bring Live Music to Your Event – Enough said. Good music for a party is a must, and Seattle is full of talent, so why settle for an aux cord?
Have a Designated Outdoor Space Available for Catching a Breath of Fresh Air or Taking a Smoke Break – Even if your party will be primarily indoors and these aren’t needs you anticipate having yourself, your guests might. Having a spot at the ready will help avoid conflict with neighbors or landlords, and make things easy when it comes to directing guest traffic.
Between the purchase of that big, shining rock and saving for your dream wedding, now might not be the time to splurge on a party. You don’t have to take our advice, but if we do we think you’ll save some money without compromising on this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Give your colors/themes a test drive.
Invest in pieces now that you use at all your upcoming wedding showers, rehearsal dinners, even wedding receptions. Not only will this help keep everything “on brand” but it will allow you to bear a cost once rather than over and over again.
Plan your hair and makeup trials for party day.
Most vendors include these in your bridal package (or require you to purchase them one way or another) so you may as well schedule them on a day when you can put the glam to good use.
Choose a venue with customizable packages.
Sourcing some of your additional services from your banquet halls can save you some money and entitle you to some preferred vendor discounts, but the ability to add and take away to suit your needs is a must where your budget is concerned. All-inclusive sounds great on paper until you’re paying for a bunch of services you wouldn’t have signed up for in the first place.
During this stretch of your life, you may find your social calendar inundated with baby showers and every wedding party under the sun. If you want your next event to stand out from the crowd, choosing a prime location from the Giggster app is a must.
