    Uber event
    Makerita L.

    Just love this old building, it's like a museum all around. Beautiful view of Lake Washington (I think that's what its call) or the Puget Sound..lol one or the other. Had some old weaving mills displayed on the second floor and some other artifacts. I was there for an Uber event and I think it's a private club so it's not accessible to the general public. Great place to have a conference, wedding reception or any big event. Easy to find and lots of parking available on the lower lot.

    This review is for the Swedish Club and not the pancake breakfast. I've been to numerous events over the past few years and I have grown to love this place more and more. The staff here have been nothing but welcoming since the first day I walked in. The building is located on Queen Anne and over looks Lake Union. There are some really spectacular views from the 3 Crowns room and the balcony around it. There is ample parking and the building is easily accessible. There seems to be something going on everyday here and the building is open even if you just want to look around. The Swedish Club knows how to throw a party. I highly recommend going to ABBA night once in your lifetime. These people know how to throw a party. There are people of all ages and all walks of life who attend these events so don't be scared. My personal favorite is Eurovision night. They watch Eurovision on the big screen upstairs and open the bar for drinks and snacks. They offer svensk classes for those wanting to learn a little Swedish. They also have weaving classes and a bunch of choirs to join as well. I think I can say that there's something for everyone here. Tusen tack!

    After hearing about the Swedish Cultural Center's Sunday breakfast a few times, we finally made it over to Seattle to check it out the first Sunday of this month. Overall, it was a really enjoyable event! Parking is either in the lot at the Swedish Cultural Center or across the street in another lot. We arrived probably around 10:30 or so and felt lucky to find a spot... when we were leaving, someone was already waiting for our spot behind us too! It appears there is also street parking around the place, but I honestly didn't look at any special parking permit required or anything like that. When you get inside after a nice greeting by a gentleman in a kilt, you join a line to pay for the breakfast (CASH ONLY, be prepared!). Several people were also enrolling to become members which will give you a free breakfast that morning too. We picked up a flyer with events sponsored by the Center and it looked like there were several fun activities including a Viking Happy Hour, a Christmas gift shopping event, movie nights, etc. After paying - in cash ($9/person) - and getting 2 tickets, you enter the dining area and follow the ropes to the food service area. There are several large circular communal tables with people enjoying their Swedish pancakes and having conversations with one another. Coffee is provided on the tables (and it's good coffee too!), orange juice is also available near where you pick up the food. You get 3 folded up Swedish pancakes, lingonberry or strawberry sauce (lingonberry was delish!) and some fresh whipped cream on top. You also get a big piece of ham with your first serving which really goes well with the sweet breakfast. For seconds, you can have more pancakes, but not more ham. We ended up sitting with some of the cooks and some other members of the Cultural Center. It seemed kind of like a family dinner party and we felt very welcomed there. There's music playing from a band, room to dance if you want to, good food.. fun! This definitely seems like a family friendly event and I think kids would enjoy seeing live music and the food is approachable to little ones as well.

    This place makes me happy. They offer Swedish language classes, a gorgeous pancake breakfast on the first Sunday of each month, and a killer view of the city. I'm half Swedish and love the fact that there's a place where I can get in touch with my roots or catch a subtitled Scandinavian film! Parking can be headachy but plan ahead and you should be fine. There's space behind their building and on the street. Or you can carpool or take the bus.

    I would never have found this place if there wasn't a UYE (breakfast club). The Swedish pancakes are great! CASH ONLY! It's $9 per adult and you can get two plates: first plate pancakes with meat and second plate just pancakes. You have choice of orange juice, milk, coffee and tea. The first plate comes with 3 rolls of Swedish pancakes with either strawberry topping or raspberry with whipped cream and a piece of ham. I didn't get to have the second plate because I was already filled up with the first plate. There were a lot of people. It's more like family style. Since all the Yelpers arrived different time, we had two or three different tables with others. It was actually pretty fun. The table two other Yelpers and I sat was shared with a family. The wife was next to me and she was really interested in food as well. We had conversation about food and where to grab good food. In front of the breakfast room, there's a space that people can dance with Swedish music. A lot of the members of Swedish Cultural, they also wore traditional clothes to the breakfast. There's parking lot behind the building and across street. Or, you can find parking on the street. Thanks Food Ninja for finding this great breakfast place! It was awesome.

    Gorgeous new place on the block!!…read more Stunning new event space right in south lake union/ downtown with sweeping lake union views. Views alone were worth a trip or 4!! Came for the opening of this shiny new spot yesterday. A gorgeous 3,000 square foot event space that was completely remodeled: with in house catering, vendors, event planners, photo booths, musician! And the food. It was like going to a super fun wedding minus the formality of it. The owner was there as well: super passionate and shared the story of how she bought this space sight unseen: took a long process in turning this into a gorgeous space that it is now. It was super cool! And the food!! They allow outside catering too but the in-house catering: Kaspar catering : baos topped with micro greens and mint. Steamed to serve! Poke rolls :delicious! Panna cotta : in a cup! Lisa Dupar catering: this one was fantastic as I've had a chance to taste their food in the past at a wedding. The gorgeous cupcakes, macarons, molasses cookies and stunning cake. All were so pretty! Mark ryan wine! I mean, what's not to love as it's one of the wineries I frequent in Woodinville wine country. My pup baci's favorite too. Luxe Photo Booth: this one was so fun! The 360 Photo Booth!! I've seen them in Time Squares recently as well as at a valentines event. But this one was so much more fun as I didn't have to wait in line or fight the crowd for it. The person that was running it was super friendly and helpful too. The jazz musician was pretty rad too. And they had valet!! Butler Valet: All the friendly guys in uniform waiting for you as you arrived during rush hour in downtown: pretty darn cool. All events should be this cool. I'm only going to events with valet from now on! Ok thanks. Overall, this was such a fun place.I came to check out the space: left with all the food and fun.The space, the team, the design, the music!! And that Photo Booth: all are essential part of throwing an epic event. All events should be this fun!! I guess they will be if you throw them here: weddings, birthdays, corporate events, sweet 16th. I wouldn't mind coming here for a photoshoot: hello contents!!Or just a fun anything event.Did I mention the views?? Ahh the possibilities!!!

The space was…read moreincredibly bright due to the huge windows, the exposed brick was lovely, and the candles were stunning. This venue is exceptional for so many reasons: not only is it a non-profit venue, but they light over 100 candles for your event and provide so many things that you would typically need to rent at other venues (chairs, tables, glassware, etc.). Also there are so many things for your guests to do in downtown Ballard if your wedding is mainly out-of-town guests like ours was. Nate and the team were so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to spend our special day at Cathedral Ballard - it was truly so special!!! :)

    Came here for an event being thrown by a local business - Papa Chango for their anniversary…read more Cathedral is an event space so you can have wedding receptions, local art showing, VIP party and more. There is a ground level and an upstairs. Upon coming in staff greeted us and informed us of the going-Ons upstairs. There were 3 bartenders all of whom were very nice. Lots of seating and small music and dancing area. The food was self-serve, buffet style, catered La Cabana. The salsa and guac were good and was nicely laid out. Cathedral donates much of the earnings made from the use of the space and are also known for their candles which I've received as a gift and can say are nicely scented and benefit causes. So, if you see one in a local shop or otherwise it makes a good gift. Not sure they sell them at this actual location of Cathedral though. If you 're looking to host an event or know someone who wants to, Cathedral has a decent space to be rented out with nice staff who will help manage it.

The space itself is full of character and charm, which meant we didn't have to add much decor. GTB already brings the perfect vibe. Between the ballroom, theater, and patio, we had so many beautiful backdrops for every part of our celebration. The catering was incredible - our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, especially the brisket (which the chef loving tended to into the early morning hours). We also loved that we got to do a tasting beforehand, and the team was wonderful about accommodating dietary restrictions. The bar was just as great! Our specialty cocktail and mocktail were both a big hit. Danielle, the venue manager, was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. Her communication and organization were top-notch, and she was so friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. On the day itself, Danielle and the GTB team were calm, detailed-oriented, and took care of everything behind the scenes so we could enjoy our wedding without stress. The in-house florist created stunning arrangements, which made things that much easier for us. Everyone we interacted with was warm and welcoming. GTB is very LGBTQ-affirming, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. We're still getting compliments from guests about how beautiful and effortless everything felt. Georgetown Ballroom truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.
