Courtyard Hall

We just had our wedding there and us and our guests loved it. We had a small wedding and used only the part with dance floor for the reception and planned to do ceremony outside. however…we’re in Seattle (Rain), so wasn’t it great to have a larger part for a ceremony. The staff set it up with chairs and table and our decorator made a jewel of it. The hall is located in a Country Village where rabits, roosters and chickens roam free… our guests sure got kick out of it. Teresa who is the owner is super helpfull and very nice to deal with. We always had access to the hall when needed, she was helpful in picking the dishes. We were able to do our own bar and hire our own bartender and were permitted to bring some of our cultural foods to set on the tables. In addition, her food was delicious and her staff super helpful. The wedding was a success and I belive that venue had a lot to do with it. Don’t forget that there is tons of free parking, it is easily accessible from I405, and it has an elevator, air conditioner and beautiful deck. It is even great for winter wedding with it’s lovely fireplace.

I don’t have any experience organizing/​working with them, but over-​all it was a pretty neat spot to attend a wedding at. I liked that there were some shops and stores near-​by (last minute shopping, anyone?) and it was in a kind of cute «village» set-​up. They had good rooms for entertaining and dancing, pretty good drinks, and a great buffet filled with fruit, dips, and small food items. Oh and we didn’t print directions, but it was still easy to find.

As I used Unilocal to help me find a great place for my wedding AND reception I thought I should repay my fellow Unilocalers and review this spot. I will admit I didn’t do a lot of searching for where to get married, my little sister found this venue after two minutes of online searching, BUT to my credit I did think about a few other places (too expensive, not able to do both the ceremony and reception there and the last one wouldn’t let me get married there because I wasn’t a member of their church)… SO: yes, I did get married here, at the Courtyard Hall in Country Village and we got the last beautiful day in 2008 I think: they have both an outside and an inside location for wedding ceremonies and as the sun was out and the ground was not too soggy we got married under the willow trees.
The venue is really excellent: great ballroom with a bar and fireplace, nice reception area and everything is nice looking enough that you don’t have to spend a lot on decorations.
We went with the in-​house caterer, Celestial Catering, and they made some scrumptious appetizers that most everyone enjoyed. We did try out the chicken and pesto pasta and maybe it was because it was cold when we got it after someone else’s wedding but it was NOT good. No. I give many thumbs up to the appetizers, though and Teresa is really great about making things to your specifications. She’s really flexible and easy going, I hope I wasn’t horribly bride-​zilla-​ish on her.
We brought in everything but the food and used her catering staff as much as they’d let us. Bottom line: if you want castles and swans in reflecting pools then this is not for you, but if you are a down-​to-​earth, do-​it-​yourself type of person on a budget this is a great venue!

This place is a lifesaver for me at work. I have several social functions I’m in charge of, and Courtyard Hall is so easy to work with. Their prices are really reasonable, and they’re easy to deal with. If I have a last minute change (which I almost always do), they handle it without giving me grief. The catering (Celestial) is super yummy and everything is really reasonable. Plus there’s plenty of parking and they recently changed over to more comfy chairs. My boss’s butt thanks them for that!

Located inside Bothell’s Country Village, the Courtyard hall has all you need for your next event… assuming you have deep pockets. The atmosphere here is great, but it is in my opinion really over priced and only because of its prestigious location. However, Celestial Catering is part of the Courtyard Hall, Teresa can make you something to die for! We use her catering at work all the time. And the prices are reasonable!
