I shopped around in Seattle and Bothell--and Cherry Falls had far more ambiance at a better price than the big city offerings. We liked the large windows in the back that showed the trees and forest (our family member who passed was an avid hiker and outdoor lover). There is a kitchen that includes a 30-cup coffee maker, as well as two lovely water dispensers, and much more. There is a large screen with the electronics and speakers to show a slide show or movie. The parking lot is huge, the place is easy to find, right off the road, but it feels peaceful and secluded. The proprietor, Autumn, met us there to go through the electronics and the other details, and before I showed with all my snacks and flowers, she'd already put white tablecloths on all five (huge) tables, and pulled out additional smaller tables for pictures and memorabilia. Everything was spotlessly clean, including a large bathroom and cloakroom. Really, we couldn't have asked for more. I whole-heartedly recommend this venue!

This is the most beautiful venue. Our guests kept asking how we found out about this place. There…read moreare amazing flowers everywhere and the corner we chose to have the ceremony was so picturesque. A lot of the photos our guests took look genuinely professional because the settings were so gorgeous. Marylou was a huge help. In the months leading up the wedding, she promptly responded to my many questions via both text and email. She met with my caterer and my day-of coordinator and gave them tours of the venue. On the day of, she spent far longer than the time expected of her. In fact, she was up late the night before pressing linens and when I arrived an hour early (which she okayed even though it wasn't within the allotted) she and an assistant were already out setting up chairs and tables. In general, I found that Marylou was extremely dedicated to seeing that my vision for the day happened. She had a lot of expertise on how to handle logistics and make sure everything was actually doable, and then she did so much to help execute it on the day of. The only thing that upset me was that I didn't know upfront that I had to buy wedding insurance. It cost about $150 which wasn't terrible, but it was just one more thing to pay for and the bills really added up. Lastly, the bridal room and the reception tent are top notch. The bridal room is equipped with great lighting, four giant full-length mirrors, a bathroom, curtains for changing, a mini-fridge, and glasses for drinks! The tent has a great dance floor, the cutest lighting, and even fans built in to the ceiling. Marylou also has furniture like a bar and cake table which were very handy. I would recommend this venue to anyone that wants an outdoor wedding in the Seattle area.

She made the bar tender ID people and told them that only they are allowed to give drinks. Than she tried to shut us down an hour early.

We were both thrilled when we found the Community Center. There are separate bridal and groom suites for getting ready in, a kitchen with fridge, stove and microwave, several bathrooms for guests, and a beautiful garden space.

This is such a great option for the budget conscious wedding and we were both very happy with out decision to book our wedding here. The booking staff was very helpful and the on site manager, Chris, was so great to work with. We would highly recommend this location!

I am writing this to say ditto to everything from Hayley J's review! We just had our wedding here…read moreat the end of July and used the garden space for the ceremony, the patio space for cocktail hour and dancing, and the Hall for dinner. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for what we were looking for! That being said, there are definitely some limitations with this venue, so I've tried to list them below. Pros: - Very affordable, even on a Saturday afternoon/evening in the middle of the summer! (check their website for current rates: https://www.kirklandwa.gov/depart/parks/Permits_and_Reservations/Facility_Rentals/heritage_hall.htm#rentalhours). - No limitations on catering/bartending. You can hire whoever you wish to cater! - Air conditioning! This wasn't something I thought would be such a big benefit, but this summer the heat was atrocious and having the AC was such a relief. - 2 bathrooms (one on ground level, one downstairs). - I feel like this beautiful location was made for a wedding. Guests could flow so easily between each space (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner), there were fantastic spots for wedding photos (e.g., the steps in front of Heritage Hall, the dock of Kirkland Marina Boat Launch, the huge gazebo at Marina Park Pavilion), and there were tons of bars just down the street in downtown Kirkland to choose from for the after party (we went to Flatstick Pub!). - The ladies at the City of Kirkland were so nice and easy to work with. I was planning this entire wedding from across the country and they answered all my questions and tried to help out in every way possible leading up to the big day. Thank you Lourdes and Nicci! - Check out their facebook page to really see how this wonderful space has been used by others for weddings and other events: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Heritage-Hall/161827740497253 Cons: - Limited space. The indoor part of this venue is only an option for those with a small number of guests (max capacity in the Hall is 70). We only had a wedding of 62 people, and I still had fears about fitting everyone inside Heritage Hall and having them seated for dinner. It ended up working out, but the tables and chairs weren't the recommended distance apart that all the stuff online suggests so I'm sure everyone felt cozy. - Parking. Not the most fun because there is no dedicated parking for events and the spaces directly around Heritage Hall are all metered or time-limited (e.g., 4 hours, which wasn't long enough for our wedding). I think our guests either parked farther away or moved their cars halfway through. - No chairs/tables for outside. The venue comes with 15 rectangular tables and 70 chairs that you can use inside of the Hall, but you have to separately bring or rent chairs and cocktail tables if you wish to have any outside. You also can't have equipment dropped off in advance or left beyond your rental period, so you need to pay to have same-day drop off and pick up. It ended up costing over $500 to hire a rental company just to drop off and pick up 52 chairs and 4 cocktail tables w/linens, so that was an extra expense I hadn't initially anticipated. - No AV system. This isn't really an issue inside Heritage Hall because the space is small enough it's easy to project your voice, but we ended up renting an AV system for $200 to use outside for music/mic during the ceremony and dancing. If you do this, just note there is only 1 outlet on the outside of Heritage Hall on the patio, so you may need to get extension cords. - No real kitchen (only mini-fridge). This might be an issue if you plan on having true catering or need to keep items cold. - Alcohol could only be beer and wine; no cocktails, hard liquor, or beer kegs. This was fine for us, but if you plan on having signature cocktails, you'll need to look elsewhere. Overall, if you are looking for space to host a small, simple wedding with no frills but amazing grounds and easy access to other locations for catering options, photos, and after party, I can't recommend Heritage Hall enough.

It was great for so many reasons - we could say, Hey our location only holds 60 people so we have to keep it small, sorry! The people at the city of Kirkland were so easy to work with, and it had air conditioning (which was great for our 95 degree wedding day on June 30th)! The slight downside of working with the city is that you can only preview the location during weekday working hours, and you only get 15 minutes to walk around, but believe me, that's all you need. We were all worried we would be rushed, but we walked in and you enter right into the room from the front doors, and it's all right there. There is a bathroom downstairs you could get ready in that you can't really see from the info on the website. There are plenty of tables and chairs available as well, but they are only to be used indoors, which worked out great for us. You can't find a better location right next to the water for the same price point. We were very pleased!

I am so delighted to be the first to review Arborea Falls here on yelp…read more My husband Leo and I appreciate the celebration of diversity and the focus on community that the owners of Arborea Falls value. I e-mailed with Kelly to set up our holiday photo shoot here, and she was super sweet and a pleasure to communicate with. We're still pretty new to the East Side, so we were looking for a small outdoor venue with lovely scenery. This venue fit our needs perfectly. We got super lucky on the day that our photo shoot was scheduled. The grounds looked gorgeous with a thick blanket of pristine snow covering everything, but the waterfalls were still running! The lighting and the natural backdrops were so perfect that we did absolutely zero photo post-processing, color corrections, line corrections, or any other type of photoshopping or editing - we simply posted the photos exactly as they had been taken. My husband, who is an amateur photographer by avocation and a physician by vocation, commented repeatedly how much he appreciated the natural lighting that the snow illuminated the photos with. He had brought photography umbrellas and other lighting equipment with us, but he didn't have to use any of it! I formerly worked as a Stylist Assistant for photo shoots for major magazines, including Seattle Met. So it's always enjoyable to put my professional experience to work on something fun like this. The vibe of the photo shoot was fun and laid back. We really enjoyed traipsing around the grounds in our all-white outfits. The owner, Kelly, came by to say Hi, and it was really nice to meet her. We would've wanted to talk longer but we had reserved the grounds for 2 hours and the 2 hours flew by, especially including setting up our tripod in 6 different locations on the grounds. Kelly said we could use the area behind the house, but we didn't have time to do that either. The suggested donation for our 2-hour photo shoot was $200, which we thought was very fair. We chose to donate $200. I think I remember reading on this venue's website that the grounds rent for 10 times that (or more) for larger events, so we thought this was quite a reasonable price to pay in order to have the grounds all to ourselves for this time period. This may become a yearly tradition! The only change I might make next time is to rent the space for 3 hours instead of 2 hours. Even without setting up our lighting equipment (which was happily not necessary since the snow naturally provided the desired lighting effects), we didn't have enough time to take photos with our fake snowball accessories or our white battery-operated candle accessories. However, we are both very happy with our experience here, and we enjoyed doing our December 2022 Holiday Photo Shoot on the grounds here.
